Maybe PK heard about DJ talking about "baby steps" earlier.

Thome is just a machine right now

After struggling in the 6th, Buerhle breezes through the 7th.

But if MB wants to shut me up, feel free!

Really don't like MB back out there. Team wins > Pitcher's wins

CLUTCHERSTAD!

at least it wasn't GIDP

Nice job getting out of it

Buehrle's getting knocked around a little bit here

Lead-off walk bites him in the ass

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 07:56 PM) Yeah, I think the G35 has traction control. And like I said, even though I love AWD, I really only used it maybe 4-8 days this winter. Any decent sport or GT-type coupe will come with traction control these days. Just keep a head on your shoulders and drive safe and it shouldn't be a problem in most cases. If we get a huge blizzard, then you might not be able to get around while a big AWD SUV could.

Police were called to respond to 9-11 calls of crimes-in-progress or soon to be. They did not respond. People were raped and/ or brutalized, or even murdered. Courts ruled they had no responsibility to respond and were not liable for their actions or in-actions in the case. That's why I would like to defend my own home instead of relying on the police "to do their job." If they have a responsibility to protect the individual, why were they not responsible in these cases?

DJ sure called that one

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:27 PM) It was a fluke. Think he can go an entire month without an extra base hit? He's damn close, isn't he?

Hawk and DJ are getting very, very annoying. We're not even in May yet and they've already repeated every excuse in the book.

It's official, Meche has 6 pitches. Have the Sox faced a pitcher with less than 5?

2-0 Kansas

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:18 PM) I'm missing the game. WHAT'S THE SCORE?! It's 0-0, bottom 5th, man on third, one out

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:16 PM) Just joining in on the action. What are Hawk and DJ's excuses for another lousy offensive performance even though the weather is warm out there? No excuses, really. Not cy-younging Meche either. Just sort of ignoring it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 07:32 PM) I remember in years past how we used to score a ton of runs early in the game. It doesn't seem that way anymore. 2005's strategy was score early, then shut down the offense and let the SP or bullpen hang on it seemed like. This year's strategy seems to be "pray you knock the starter out and go to work on the bullpen"

Gil Meche is so good. I would trade Vazquez and Danks for him. Look at how silly he makes hitters look!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 07:16 PM) Those sites aren't just slanted. Two of the three have obvious misspellings on the front page. They are twisting facts. And, again, it is NOT TRUE that the police's job does not involve protecting the individual. Take a look at the facts of those cases on those sites, where they can be found. Police do not have the responsiblity for continuing protection (like personal security), and they do not have civil liability for things they didn't fix. But that is NOT the same as saying they have no responsibility to protect citizens, which is simply an untrue statement. "A State's failure to protect an individual against private violence generally does not constitute a violation of the Due Process Clause, because the Clause imposes no duty on the State to provide members of the general public with adequate protective services. The Clause is phrased as a limitation on the State's power to act, not as a guarantee of certain minimal levels of safety and security . . ." (See the Supreme Court decision DESHANEY v. WINNEBAGO CTY. SOC. SERVS. DEPT.) How does that not clearly state that the State has no duty to protect an individual against private violence? http://online.ceb.com/calcases/CA3/46CA3d6.htm Courts have ruled over and over that they don't have a duty to provide police protection services, and most of these cases stem from the police not responding properly to a 911 call. The courts have decided that the law does not say they have to give you private protection, even if you report a crime being committed or fear one soon will be (with good cause). Those situations, in which they are not required to protect, are why you need to be prepared to protect yourself.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 06:49 PM) This is incorrect. No pitcher has lost their next start. Meaning they can blow total ass but still get a no decision. Good catch, I was typing that in a hurry while on the phone. My mistake!

QUOTE(shipps @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 06:07 PM) I just watched the Prestige last night thought it was really good.I think Iam going to have to watch it again cause it was pretty damn hard to follow.What exactly was the role of Scarlett Johansson in their relationships?I didnt really follow who she screwed over. I watched that this weekend, too. I thought the plot was really difficult to follow in the middle, but I had it straightened out by the end. Pretty good movie.

QUOTE(PlunketChris @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 06:35 PM) anyone have any stats on pitcher's next start after a no-hitter? Someone posted it in this thread or one of the ones about Buerhle. All 8 of the no-hitters won have not lost their next game in this decade. edit: Thanks for the correction, Kalapse!
