The second half has done a lot to temper my enthusiasm for Jon pitching under pressure, in front of his "ancestral home town".

Lots of reasons to believe either Garland can show up. Lots of rest, maybe too much. Opening game in LA. "The call" atmosphere. 18-10 career year.

First of all a major league player, especially an outfielder better be in good enough shape to sprint the bases, so I have a hard time accepting he was tired when he reached third. I'd be interested in seeing if Cora looked at the left fielder's position before sending him. With it being an out, it's easier to say it was the wrong call. I'm guessing the bigger mistake was not seeing the left fielder being in position to quickly pick up the ball and make the throw.

I'd hold off on the Senate bid until all his children are able to vote, that will give him a nice advantage.

I was reading in Jinxed that Konerko's mom in 2002 bought him a Rally Monkey. It worked for him for a while, but alas, he was soon in a slump. His dad destroyed the monkey and Kong went on a run and batted .4-something the rest of the month. Fun book to read at Barnes and Noble, but I wouldn't invest money in it. Took me like 5 minutes to finish.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 14, 2005 -> 07:54 AM) Actually, Tex, Ryno picked the Sox for the Central since the beginning of the season, then he picked them against BOS. He's been money on them all year. Kind of a shock, isn't it? And the trifecta is he picked us in the ALCS. Wow, he jumped on the bandwagon early I'm kidding with the above posts. I'm just noticing how quickly we divide the idiots, the bandwagon jumpers, and the brilliant sports writers and commentators. There are no other categories and as soon as there is a positive article somewhere, like a bunch of lemmings, we rush over and take a look. People have opinions, there are intelligent opinions that picked the Angels. That thought the call was wrong, etc.

QUOTE(S720 @ Oct 14, 2005 -> 07:46 AM) Texsox, I disagree with you COMPLETELY. So what you're implying is if a non-Sox fan says something positive about the Sox, then he or she is a bandwagon jumper! That is such a fallacy! How do you know Ryno's mind? How do you know that he didn't think that was a BAD call at all? So if he sticks up to something he believes is right, and it just happens that that something is to the advantage of the Sox, you call him a "bandwagon jumper." I am totally surprised that this is coming from you. I have come to agree with the majority of posters. Any media person who doesn't pick the Sox and love all Sox things is an idiot just like moronatti. Anyone who just now starts to give the Sox some respect is a bandwagon jumper. ESPN only loves the Red Sox and Yankees. The Cubune sucks. BBTN are all idiots, unless picking the Sox. Sports Center are all idiots, unless picking the Sox. etc. etc.

I think to protect his knees, we need to move him to left field. The catchers are always my favorite on the team. AJ would be a good investment. It pays off both in offense, defense, and pitching. I'd also like to see Josh Paul return to Chicago on the Cubs

I have long stopped eating plain chips with the one exception of Cape Cod. I also like the salt and vinager. The jalapeno flavored are awesome.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 14, 2005 -> 01:00 AM) I recommend International Falls, MN if you wish to pursue that dream. TexSox will support you fully with moving expenses, etc. Nice, good call back

Didn't Timo pitch in Little League? You know, just sayin' Depending on the state of the bullpen entering that game, I'd be inclined to use the pen before sending in starters on short rest. We have had one of the AL's better pens.

Nice pics. It looks like you arrived around noon for the game

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 14, 2005 -> 01:58 AM) Maybe you'd stoop to that level. The thought wouldn't even enter most Sox fans minds. I would be holding my breath, praying that some idiot doesn't give Sox fans another embarrasing moment.

He's just a bandwagon jumper. He wasn't a fan before, now all of a sudden he's writing nice things about the Sox? You are right, the loser tag was wrong. Although didn't he lose his wife to Mark Grace?

Anyone who agrees with Sox fans is an instant fan favorite, anyone whose opinion disagrees is an idiot. It is so easy to sucker in Sox fans. We go nuts as soon as anyone says something nice about the Sox and write 50 post threads if it's negative. My opinion of Sandburg hasn't changed by his obvious bandwagon jumping. Just another loser pandering to Sox fans. The only reason he said this was to jump on the Sox popularity.

I wanted to be a foreign correspondent and cover wars in far off lands. Then I was talking to a foreign correspondent, and he mentioned that the most disappointing thing he wasn't prepared for, was the lack of female companionship. He had gotten laid three times in 1980 and that was an average year. Now three times a year isn't bad for a Priest from a small parish, but . . . Switched majors the next day.

I want to know if this was a bye week or bi week. With National Coming Out Day I thought maybe it wasn't just a hetero party.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 09:47 PM) I blame the lawyers & insurance companies. If they continued to put out the fire and a firefighter got hurt, maybe the insurance company won't pay because they were fighting a fire they weren't paid to fight. Tex, if you yourself helped get this guy out of his trailer, and in the process injured him, your butt would be sued faster than you can say 'tort reform'. Where does giving of yourself stop because it becomes a burden unto yourself? There was a poll question on the radio asking if people were suffering from 'catastrophy burnout'. I say a resounding hell yes! I am tired of goving. I give, almost until it hurts. But I have a family to take care of, and 4 employees with families to also worry about. Have I sacraficed? Yes. But I don't know how much more I can take. For all youknow, these firefighters, who probably get paid per call, were not gonna get paid for that visit. And if they got hurt during an unauthorized visit, you could probably kiss disability goodbye as well. Why are people obligated to help those that fail to help themselves? It is very easy to justify walking by anyone in trouble. And that is the America we are building for our grandchildren. You are on your own. Don't help anyone unless you get something in return. Find any excuse not to get involved. You are not obligated. You can legally watch someone die, so watching their home burn isn't a legal issue.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 03:03 PM) t.s. pay your bill. One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
