I just paid 3.19 for gas today up in Morton Grove, same prices down in Downers Grove. I take the train to work usually, but its somewhat of a pain because I have to go into Union Station on the BSNF line and then take the Mil-N line out to Morton Grove. Luckily, the train station is less than a mile from my work, but I can see how it isn't an option for most people. And Hybrids aren't the answer to save money for yourself. Short-term you're looking at several thousand dollars more than a normal car to get one, and long term you've got $7k battery packs, electric motors, starters, etc. to replace. One thing that is really helping is the new technology that many companies are coming out with that shuts down half the engine while cruising at highway speeds.

Won't the casinos being closed hurt tax revenues even more?

China has to be pissed too. They warned NK not to launch those missles.

It seems to me there's way too much of modern comedy, aka "dumb humor" like Dodgeball, Anchorman, etc. on the list. Those movies are enjoyable, sure, but best comedies of all time? I think not.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 08:22 PM) who'd back up AJ? just asking. I know there's not a good replacement right now, I'm just b****ing because I hate widger. He calls an absolutely terrible game. What's the ERA and team record with him behind the plate this year?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 08:20 PM) I don't think this is promising despite their current record. Pitching wins. If Politte can't mop this up without anymore damage, please buy him a plane ticket. Widger too

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 08:08 PM) it's one game and you would've had to play brilliant to beat Bedard tonight. Throw it out as one of the 60 you're going to lose and let it go at that. They've had three bad games in a row now. Thornton came out and looked very sharp. The bullpen is starting to come around, somewhat. If the starting pitching can get back on track, this team can be unstoppable.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) Not exactly against juggernauts either. But..but...the Cubs with Derek Lee are one of the top offenses in the league! This team just finished two series that, although they won, they played very poorly in. They're showing no signs of improvement and now they're not going to be facing the worst teams in the NL. The pitching needs to get their heads of of their asses and start throwing some good games.

McCarthy gives up another shot. Why is almost every Sox pitcher pitching like absolute dog s*** lately?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) I hate when K's arent strikes. LOL

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 03:01 PM) We're 53-27 blah blah blah. Complain about this when complaint is actually warranted. The pitching has been complete garbage lately, and complain is warranted.

Damnit.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 02:01 PM) He gave up a home run with the wind blowing out to a Sox killer. You would honestly rather see Haeger over Vazquez? Get real. 5-4 Sox He also put two men on base in front of him and has almost given up the cycle to Ramirez. He's also given up 11 hits to the worst offense in MLB.

Woooooo, go CREDE!

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 01:57 PM) WHO f***ING CARES ABOUT THE TIGERS WE ARE PLAYING .650 BASEBALL If I had told you at the beginning of this season we would be 52-27 after 79 games and asked you to assign a letter grade to this team based on that ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION ALONE, what grade would you give them? You're right, the Sox shouldn't worry about the Tigers. Its only the 1st day of July, there's still plenty of baseball left including 13 vs. the Tigers. But that doesn't excuse playing like s*** against two of the worst teams in baseball.

Sox will probably still pull it out. Anderson is doing fine in center. Vazquez is dog s***.

f***.

You can put it on the boaaaaaaaaaard, YES!

Dusty crying about injuries.

Excellent. Vaz works the count and gets a hit!

neither pitcher looking very sharp right now.

ahahahahahahahah

Nice job.

crede with a sac fly, dye to third, uribe up.

well there's a cheap bloop for us.
