QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) Are you sure, I just checked and it looked like 11-4 (losses to Balt by Santiago, OAK extras, twice against BOSTON)? Actually, this time, I got 11-5... twice to the O's...

The Central has no teams playing well right now...I'd probably look at it that way more than anything... And again, it's simply a matter of scoring runs...I'm curious to know what our record is when scoring 3 or more runs... Edit: We're 10-6 if when we just score three or more runs...that is pretty impressive.

Maybe DA does know something about Gordo...

Now THIS is encouraging!

Jesus, wtf happened to the Bulls in the second half?

Dayan! Where was Kipnis?

Damnit Alex

Come on Alex, gotta take advantage of one of these RBI situations here...he's been stranding guys left and right over he last 7 days or so...

Ubaldo looks f***ing horrible...

QUOTE (fathom @ May 1, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) That might have been the longest homer he's hit since he hit a bomb in Minnesota two years ago. He hit a long one in Baltimore last year and it was the worst thing that could have happened to him...

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 1, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) Cleveland Hawk? Yeah, the Cleveland announcers are worse because they're both obnoxious homers.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 1, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) What in the hell did I just see!! He did seem to have a little more wiggle in his swing there. The Indians announcer is priceless..."he lost it in the stupid smoke from the fireworks!"

Smoke

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 1, 2012 -> 06:31 PM) If a black employee did the same thing or a woman or any of the protected classes, and they fired them, wouldn't disparate treatment come into play? No...discrimination applies to how someone in a protected class is treated...it doesn't reach to the level of saying all employees must be treated the same as the best employee might be treated, or a particular white male might be treated...a company has every right to determine it doesn't want to fire someone...that doesn't mean they then have to adopt that same behavior for everyone. Now if the Sun-Times established a pattern of treating all white males in this fashion, and meanwhile, treated all minorities or one set of minorities in a much different fashion, i.e., they terminated all black employees for tweeting the same things, then you might have something...but even that might be difficult to prove...

Two workouts left in p90x2

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 1, 2012 -> 06:19 PM) He probably has to do something, maybe go for some training or something, but he's very lucky. I guess this means all racists and sexists working at the ST can probably not worry about losing their job if they slip and say something at work, or if they just get pissed off and start popping off. If the ST fired them for the same thing they let Cowley get away with, they most likely will be required to pay their fired employees in full, and maybe even more. Nope...it doesn't work that way...

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 1, 2012 -> 12:06 PM) Isn't it routinely rated the most expensive place to live in the US, even more than Manhattan? It is technically 3rd behind NY and Honolulu, primarily because median income in SF is higher...at least in Honolulu's case...I've been contacted by company there and I'm just curious how far I should even let the process go prior to discussing the salary range...I usually don't mention it, but when it comes to CA companies, their housing is so ridiculous that it is a much larger issue than it is normally...

San Francisco is expensive.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 1, 2012 -> 10:34 AM) Knowing the Rays, they will just call up some scrub that no one has heard of and he will put up a .800 OPS while Longo is gone. No, that would be the Twins. The Rays will replace him with some piece of crap who puts up piece of crap numbers and yet they will still inexplicably win.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 1, 2012 -> 08:46 AM) Is this a rumor? I think he is being Caufield and imagining the Rangers had they not traded AGon to San Diego 7 years ago or whatever...

There is no free speech argument...it's not like anyone's going to put him in prison for being obnoxious or anything... Just because I have a right to free speech doesn't mean I can go tell my boss to go f himself and not expect to get canned within 3 seconds...
