Why is Uribe so awful at the plate?

Greg Walker's gonna be pissed that they're not following his hitting approach.

Those estimates were also based on exponentially increasing oil/ energy usage, but more modern models have society approaching a limit. Nothing grows exponentially forever.

I probably haven't heard SBB in 4 years. Good stuff though, I'll have to dig that CD out.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) it might be much harder to make the playoffs than we had hoped, but its not like we've dropped dead What, exactly, would you call their stellar play over the last two months?

Damn, I just get back to see that the Sox are tied in the bottom of the 11th, and then 20 seconds later they blow. That's the season boys, as far as I'm concerned. Technically there's still I chance, but I just don't see it happening. If it ain't starting pitching, its offense. If it ain't offense, it's the bullpen. What's the longest run they've put together in the 2nd half? 4 games?

Damn you WCIU. I have to follow the game on gameday now.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 12:33 PM) $2 gas "more likely than unlikely" Me personally, I'll believe it when I see it. I'll say it again, and that article echos it: the market will NOT sustain gas at the current levels. True. To get to the levels they would like to see it at, all of the corn production in a large portion of the midwest would have to go towards ethanol. That's as technology and resources stand now, though. As NSS said, there's much more promising developements, it'll just take some time and a whole lot of money to get there.

HE GAWN!

2 down, tying run at the plate...

Whew

LOL at Hawk's racial stereotyping

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 11:03 PM) Pinch hit Gload, then put Anderson in CF, and Mack can move over to take prancers place in LF. At least he got it right defensively.

What the bulls*** was that?

you have to be kidding me. Three breaking balls, three K's.

So apparently there's one in Champaign that I never knew existed until last week. I swear it wasn't there before, at least on their "Store Finder"

It will really be a sad state of affairs if a team that has played this poorly for this long manages to get into the playoffs.

Not only do they not pick one up on Detriot, but they're now 1.5 back of Minnesota. Things do not look good on the South Side.

hahahahahahaha At least this is entertaining.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) all this jump off bridge talk is rediculious expecially after the past 2 wins we had.... stfu we lose, s***, that sucks... we just come back tomorrow. Yeah, wooo, 2 wins. That's the most they can string together. This team has played below .500 since the ASB. They're not very good right now.

At least the Bears are looking solid (Aside from one bonehead play by Grossman). This team (from the top down) is laughibly bad.

I listened to most of the game on the radio, but missed the 7th, 8th, and top of the 9th. Luckily, my girlfriend wanted a cheeseburger so I had to run out to BK. Got into my car in the middle of Paulie's at-bat. Could not have had better timing.

He might run but I highly doubt he'd receive the nomination.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 12:05 PM) Hmm... Wouldn't a jury be able to hear defenses which would reduce the charge from murder to voluntary manslaughter? If the evidence of sexual assault is compelling, I think a jury might nullify the verdict. It's rare, but its happened before. I might be wrong, but I don't think there will be any investigation into the sexual assualt allegations. After all, the suspect has been murdered and cannot even defend himself. And the charge should not be reduced if it ends up being true, anyway. That just reinforces vigilanteism. The father broke into that guy's house and brutally murdered him, end of story.
