QUOTE(Balance @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 03:07 PM)I'm upset at all the media coverage about this non-story, but for a different reason. Look at all the real news that is being ignored! Hello? Karl Rove committed treason, but that's getting swept under the rug. The war in Iraq is going miserably, but they're not reporting on that.
The news media has turned into frickin' People and the Enquirer.
Let me guess: you are called "Balance" because "Don't_Blame_Me_I_Voted_For_Kerry" doesn't fit in the screen name area.

Jeez, why didn't the guy say "Sorry, haha, I mean't 'it's nippy out' and 'sorry, I mean't 4th floor'. Haha, priceless.
I'm not that bad, but I guess I am not immune. Just this afternoon after heating my brat in the microwave without a plate, I asked the guy sitting next to me: "dang, have you ever burned your fingers on your sausage?".

If you want irony, guess what? We are all complaining about the media giving legs to this story, but guess what? We have five pages of discussion about it right here! The media is giving the story legs, but obviously the public is running with them. Friggin' public!!!

That's just one more reason we shouldn't have women in space.

I guess I gotta chime in here...
I will admit she made a poor decision and nobody should be surprised she was killed for it. However, she still didn't deserve to die. Other then killing another person, there isn't much someone can do that they really deserve to die for. I won't judge Natalee, as sick as I am of seeing he face by now.
What I do have a problem with is the coverage she is getting compared to the lack of coverage all the other missing kids get. Kids are the most valuable thing in the world and in that regard, Natalee does deserve the coverage. However, so does every other missing kid! That isn't possible, but the exclusive coverage of Holloway suggests that what we have is a fairness issue at best, and more likely a class, status, and race issue going on too.

Thanks for the info. That is good to know. Unfortunately it won't help me during the day because they frown on listening to streaming audio here at work

QUOTE(Tadahito15 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 11:15 AM)No kidding. Some people need to learn to appreciate this team.
This is what I don't get. Can't somebody appreciate the team and revel in the season but also take note of an occasional minor concern?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:48 AM)This may seem ridiculous, and it probably is, but Oakland is 9 back of the Sox. In recent years, they have often gotten really hot in the second half and just not let up. They are doing it again. Do you think there is any remote concern they could catch them if they win 40-45 of their remaining 56 games and the Sox play .500?
Where did you say that??????
If the sky is falling I will use you as an umbrella.
Wow, upon starting this thread, I thought it would be flamed and put to an early grave. I appreciate the serious discussion on it. FWIW the only reason I brought it up was because of possible home field playoff implications. I can live with playing Oakland; I would just rather play against them in Chicago. Now, as has been mentioned, if Oakland has the best record, they have home field advanatage for the first series, which wouldn't be against the Sox. However, if both clubs advanced to the ALCS, would the team with the best record also have home field for that series? I think that much is a valid concern.That was what I posted right before your first post. Perhaps you were typing at the same time as I was and didn't see it. In any case, its cool. Also, its really not a falling sky issue. I was just highlighting the only thing that is really in any doubt at all - home field considerations, and I do admit that there really isn't much doubt there anyway.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 08:55 AM)9 back from what??? They arent in our division and we arent fighting for the WC. So exactly what are we looking back for??
I also nominate this for dumbest post of the year.
RR, did you read my post from right before you posted? I thought I made it pretty clear I was looking at playoff home field ramifications. WC has nothing to do with it. I have no problem with you nominating it as dumbest, but I would at least hope you base it on the context of the discussion.

Hey, does Jenks have his heat back tonight? I noticed he has no K's. I know heat and K's aren't the be-all/end-all, but with Jenks' injury history, I just had to ask.

I can't believe the lack of national attention to this guy. He is absolutely dominant. 16 wins now and and ERA under 2.30. Considering he is only giving up a mere handful of hits a game these days, I think you have to consider him the best in the game right now. One more reason I don't want to see St. Louis if we make it that far.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 09:47 AM)It's kinda like the big 10 logo.
It's hard to see the 11, but when you do, it's the first thing you see from then on.
Similar, though different. In the Brewers logo, the same foreground item represents different things. The Big 10 logo, however, uses the background or "negative space". In psychology, I think it is called "figure/ground ambiguity". It is like the Chicago "C" on my avatar. If you look closely at the negative space, you will see a sock.

You know, we can take it to this level if you want, but you are going to have to hear about the time when my wallet fell out of my pants at work...into the toilet...while I was sitting during a dump...and yes, I was just about finished when it happened :puke
absolutely true

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 03:34 PM)The Twins are not going to catch the Sox. If the Sox go .500 the rest of the way, the Twins would have to go 44-14 to tie.
Ironically that is quite similar to the record Oakland has built since they got hot
I say let Oakland win. Let them win 45 or 50 of their remaining games and strut into Chicago thinking its a mere formality. Just let them...

A game thread with ice cream, diarreah, male enhancement, and with a White Sox winner at the end. What more could you ask?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:58 PM)Dude, it would be horrible if we had Jenks hit someone. That would be a sight.
He hit someone a couple appearances ago, didn't he. I didn't see it on TV so I don't know what kind of pitch it was, but IIRC it was the day he didn't have the 100mph heater going.

That, or a mugger came in, took the wallet, heard a cop coming, the guy tried to wrestle the wallet back away from the mugger, the mugger pushed him away and let go of the wallet which fell into the toilet, and the mugger jumped out the window and down the escape ladder.
I've been watching too much Monk recently.
Well, that's the closest guess (the first part, not the mugger part). I was finished and preparing to, um, cleanse the situation, and the wallet fell out of my front pocket. Don't ask me why I kept it there but sometimes I do. Anyway, I don't usually let the pants fall completely to my ankles. That just seems preschoolish to me. The belt area was actually around my thighs, next to the bowl rim (you mean that's not normal?). I guess with the pocket somewhere near the bowl, me shifting my position, and the lining in pockets getting hung up, I was bound for tragedy.
