QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 10:11 PM) Pretty stupid. Who are the White Sox and/or Freddy to decide how Young needs to be punished? The goal is to win the world series. How hitting Delmon Young contributes to winning the world series, i'll never know. All it could do is hurt our chances, after one of our guys gets hit and injured or there's a brawl. It was stupid. I agree with you and also am glad Freddy made the pitch. It was wrong and it was right.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 04:48 PM) It should be to the point, business, and professional. What's wrong with that? If I am reading Steff's post correctly she is agreeing with you. The first line was at Radio Shack. Also, go back and read the article, this was a lay-off. If ever there was a time to show some compassion it is when someone is let go because of declining sales that they did not have a direct influence.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) Be it right or wrong, I basically lump 1Bman an dDH into the same category when comparing them in the MVP. Can't be right or wrong, this is straight opinion, yours is as right as mine. Looking at the "Value" component of the DH, a 1st baseman can move and DH, the reverse isn't always true.

Remember on Cheers when Norm's job was to fire people . . . Why would a company want to terminate someone in a decent manner? Perhaps to show the other employees that it is a good company to work for. That they will be treated like decent human beings. Let's also remember that these people were not being fired for cause, they were being laid off because people were not walking in the stores to buy stuff. This isn't some incompetent person who got caught having sex in the copier room (do you miss them Steff?)

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) Remember, this is a game in New York, which means that tickets can be sold and money made for both games. You just need the time to empty the stadium between games. I see it's the ESPN game tonight as well. I forget which Yankee it was but he talked about the rock star like surroundings the Yankees have and how it can get tiring.

Is Game two of the Tiger double header really scheduled for 7:05?? That seems stupid. Even if it is a double rain out thing.

Isn't technology grand. I think a text message would have been nicer. But I'm a sentimental fool. I will now boycott Radio Shack, unless they have a really good sale

Scoreboard watching as officially begun for me. I watched the last of the Yankee's game on Gamecast. September could be a long and exciting month. Let's hope the Yankees stay on a roll . . .

QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 10:49 AM) The Pentagon, in Arlington, Virginia, has twice as many bathrooms as is necessary. When it was built in the 1940s, the state of Virginia still had segregation laws requiring separate toilet facilities for blacks and whites. Can there ever really be enough bathrooms?

Didn't McMahon take a leak at a golf outing while miked?

What we are talking about here is maintaining discipline and safety in the school. Eliminating gang colors and dress, telling kids not to show off their ass and breasts. Avoiding advertisements for illegal at that age products. Am I to take it seriously that Lennon would have been less of a songwriter if he couldn't wear a Miller Lite T-shirt, show off his ass crack, and wear a sombrero in class? GMAB Can parents set limits, or would that destroy the next Picasso also? Suzy doesn't want to wear a bra and enjoys the freedom of expression that comes with exposing her nipples, I'd tell her to change, but I don't want to make a social judgement.

I would love to have him. He would be a great addition to the team's playoff chances. Wait, this is futuresox.com and we're talking for the Knights aren't we? No way. Pass. Let some NL team have him,

http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews....xml&src=rss SYDNEY (Reuters) - Hot and bothered by rising pump prices? Australian brothels are offering clients discounts based on their gas bills. Brothel owners claim the system works much the same way as supermarkets which offer shoppers discounted gas prices by presenting their grocery bills when they fill up their tanks. "If you come in and spend time with one of our lovely ladies, we'll give you a discount of 20 cents a liter," Kerry, manager of Sydney brothel The Site, told Reuters Wednesday.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 11:13 PM) Just because the AL beat up on the NL does not have it make sense that it will take more than 95 games for the AL wildcard. That is nonsense. Before interleague play, wins and loses would equal out in each league. Now with interleague play, this year there will be more wins in the AL than loses and vice versa. I thought it was an interesting observation. Put another way, there will be more wins than loses in the AL and more loses than wins in the NL. Subtracting wins from loses in the AL will result in a positive number and a negative number in the NL. With more wins spread around this year, it could take more to win the wild card. So it isn't nonsense. If I did some quick math here, adding up wins and subtracting loses, the AL has 55 more wins than loses.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) A lot of it depends on how they react right now. Like I said, they have a much tougher next 3 days than either the White Sox or Twins. It's entirely possible that their lead could be down to 2 games or less by the time the Angels roll into Detroit this weekend if Detroit doesn't step up right now. The White Sox found it in them to step it up right when things looked their darkest, that day when some sort of human-animal hybrid caused Ken Harrelson's head to explode. Detroit is going to be looking at having that day this week or next. They don't have Polonco, I don't think the pitching matchups favor them in these next 6 days, and they don't have momentum right now. My gut tells me they're in real trouble, but my head tells me that I'll know a lot more next Sunday when they've finished with the Angels. They do have some veteran leadership, so it should be interesting. I think the key is winning series. I don't see any of these three going on a 10 game winning streak at this point in the season. Each team has a stopper, and not in the good way. So whichever team(s) win the most series will be in. I am beginning to like your scenario more and more. Keep talking, I could be a sailor up on the rocks in no time listening to this siren song . . .

This is one of those I agree with the analysis, but my gut tells me Detroit stays ahead of either the Sox or the Twins. I can see one or the other passing them by. I can't see them not making the playoffs at this time. In fact, having this slump may help them, like it did the Sox way back in 2005 when they won the division.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 04:48 PM) The band Stealers' Wheel has nothing to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gerry Rafferty, of Baker Street fame, was a founding member of Stealers Wheel. There is no apostrophe in the band's name. I predict that later, Rex will edit my post to make everyone think I spelled it apostrophy.
