He was fired from the Cracker-Cats of the Northern League last season after an on-field brawl.

I saw Terry Bevington My god, isn't that painful enough? BTW, he was up in the Northern League with the Cracker-Cats until an on-field brawl last season forced his resignation.

I'm not certain if that would work for you. I have the same problem. I'm over 500 miles from Dallas or Houston, and most of the games are not on my cable provider, yet I'm blacked out for Astros and Rangers games.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 11:50 AM) Which always seemed odd to me, about Rogo. He hits for solid average, so he can make good contact. And he is built like a friggin grizzly bear. I really expected he'd develop more power. If by power you mean another big looping swing we seem to produce, yuck.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 11:39 AM) I wouldn't be shocked if NY radio was making the A-Rod argument Maybe if anyone cared enough to even worry about it. A-Rod and Thome put up some sweet numbers that week. Mark with a one hitter probably would not have won. I'm just surprised it is his first weekly honor.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 11:04 AM) Does that mean we shift more burden to them? No, that doesn't work. But I'm not certain that removing the money from the top is the answer. Perhaps we need to work towards a program where the Gore's and Crowe's money heads to the places with the least financial resources to fund pollution reduction programs? QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 11:05 AM) Isn't that exactly what you guys have been trying to do with the tax code? Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing nice.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 09:32 AM) Whether or not the sock was bloody is debatable. Whether or not Curt Schilling is a total dickface isn't. At least in my mind. So, you're a Shilling fan

Interesting, very interesting, Let the speculation begin.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) Because it forces the actual reductions onto the people who can least afford it. Great point. But isn't money a factor in any problem?

Didn't look good, never turned it on. Must have missed something.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 08:20 AM) So what you are saying is that we should be doing this, but it isn't working right now, and we should stick with it to see if it works in the future, dispite what the naysayers might say? hmmm.... Stay the course. Americans don't have the courage to continue when things don't work exactly to plan. Oops, that's Iraq.

QUOTE(BV2005 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 12:19 AM) I saw tony graffanino in my neigborhood. he tried to get my run away cat, but it went right between his legs. Impossible. Graffanino, Buckner, and Durham, were all posing for the International Croquette League's new logo.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 07:30 AM) So you are more of a Jordin fan?

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 12:01 AM) Yeah, but Alaska is still the John Holmes of it all. Meh, that's all ice. Eventually Texas crude, burned in Texas size SUVs, will reduce Alaska to the size of New Jersey.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 07:04 PM) Should've been A-Rod! Congrats Mark! or Thome. They played all week. .

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 09:06 PM) I'd say about the same, probably. Under normal conditions I would be smelling political b.s., but with his own party taking shots, and not just for political spoils, I'm inclined to be more critical. And I repeat, the GOP is doing exactly what they should and what I would want the Dems to do if it was one of "their" appointees.

I must confess, I'm a virgin in starting game threads, but not any more.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 08:30 PM) Carlos May landed a gig reviewing movies as Ebert's sidekick, but he lost it just as quickly for being too harsh in his reviews. Dude NEVER gave anything two thumbs up. I saw Sammy Sosa with Captain Morgan

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 11:08 PM) You have to stack together roughly 3 Ohios to equal one Nebraska. I don't need a sportscar and a giant handgun when we start comparing sizes of states . . .

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 05:55 PM) Thieves generally don't charge towards the bedrooms. Exactly.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 05:14 PM) So none of you watched the people that made a**es out of themselves trying out for Idol? Interesting Watching people embarrass themselves is about the most brutal thing for me to watch. I can't stand it.

QUOTE(Dan @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 05:05 PM) You don't know your house well enough then. Have you thought about what policemen do with their weapons when they are at home and off duty? It's your choice if you want to own a gun or not, nobody is required to in Illinois (but some places actually do require citizens to be gun owners). How much time will you have when someone breaks in your door and runs towards your bedroom? 30 seconds? 60 seconds? I don't know anyone who can wake up, gather his wits, grab a gun, load, unlock, and be ready in that amount of time. You need to be loaded with one on top. So I made the decision for myself and my family the risk of a home invader versus the risk of kids playing around and decided I'd keep everything in my safe and broken down. The cops I know have gun safes and lock them up as well. In fact it was my friends in the Border Patrol that convinced me it was the smart thing to do. It's a personal choice but in the worst case scenario, I couldn't live with having a child find one of my guns and hurt themselves or someone else.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) No, I don't. I just don't think that this rises to the level that you all do in terms of him leaving office. Now, personally, Gonzo is basically neutered, and should be told to go away "at the pleasure of the president". The reason isn't for breaking any laws, but for being an inept jackass. Was he more or less inept than the people who were fired?

Damn Damn Damn make the voices go away. I have And I hope that you are having the time of your life But think twice, that's my only advice Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are, Ha ha ha bless your soul You really think you're in control Well, I think you're crazy I think you're crazy I think you're crazy Just like me stuck in my head and it.won't.stop

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 03:48 PM) Speak for yourself, I've watched a grand total of 10 minutes of the first American Idol, and that's been it. That is 10 minutes more than I have.
