QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 08:21 AM) .365 BA? They are lucky they didn't kill her. OMG, I'm thinking .365 batting average? Where the hell was that??

Girls will be boys . . .

It's called cheer leading, and has some value. It picks up the spirits of some people, it makes the nation feel, at least vicariously, that we are really helping, and spotlights what the real volunteers are doing. If not for Mrs. Bush, no one would have bothered to send cameras to that soup kitchen. Now even better would have been the Bush babes, hurricanes in hand, riding the storm out atop one of the hotels. Now that's a photo op.

I guess if Mariotti isn't available . . . I'd like to hear Bevington.

Holy Crap, there are more of them then I would have imagined. Plus, how cool is seeing 140 years of stats?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 06:50 AM) winodj, it was widely reported that New Orleans had "dodged the bullet" after Katrina passed through. Gulfport was devastated by the storm, as were other locals along the coast. Bush was specifically talking about NOLA and the levee situation. The way you present the Bush quotes on NOLA, followed by all those headlines is simply a case of misleading spin. Misleading Spin ~ A SL&P Tradition since 2003! Just wondering was the "Dodged the Bullet" also misleading spin? It seems that a whole lot of misinformation, falsehood, wrong assumptions, and other errors of judgment occurred and if we are looking for a scapegoat, Brown seems to fit the bill perfectly.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 12:19 AM) Is that Subservient Chicken in your Av, Kap?" If so, I'm simultaneously impressed and very very worried. Is that a subliminal message for me and my newfound life of crime? Perhaps you are thinking that is my future, to be a subervient chicken?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) Advice on dealing with AOL? 3 words. DONT DO IT!!!! They are the part of the internet that Al Gore did invent. Evil misquoter thought NUke's post needed some ghost writing.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 02:46 PM) Animals are jealous/protective by nature. Any chance Montecore smelled strange pussy on Roy? OMG I am so easily amused but

I really dislike generalities, and stereotypes, but let me toss this out. The closer one comes to being a genius in science or the arts, the more likely the person has some serious flaws.

I was laughing a little too loud at Nuke's post and my wife came in to see what was so funny. She is mortified I would share that wth y'all. She asked if there were any secrets.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) No relatives?!?!?!?!?! Hell yes! Sign me up! EDIT: In reality, the free ticket will be used to go to another wedding in my friend's never ending quest to remind me of my singleness. . . I may have edited it a bit to make it more appealing.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:17 PM) Hey, thanks for the prompt response. May I venture one more question? Why do you present yourself to the world with a "Shut Up b****" avatar. Do you have any close women friends? I guess that's two questions. Thanks. He's in the Army, of course he has women friends but remember, don't ask ~ don't tell

In the Tex (hey that's me) has a warrant out for his arrest on a speeding ticket

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:02 PM) Just admit what you're thinking Tex. Its a conspiracy by the Bush Administration to silence another of its critics. Now that you mention it he was able to get that drunk driving off his record, he could have done it. LMAO

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 07:23 PM) And immediately weaken the depth of one of the best bullpens in the league. Whether Damaso is struggling or not, he's an above average pitcher that has played by the rules for the most part. As far as I know, he's not a clubhouse cancer, and as long as his left arm can still pop it at 94 MPH, it would be foolish to suspend him for the rest of the year. If the Sox need a message, take a look at Carlos Lee. s*** happens, he was late...discipline him and move on. No need to throw gas on the fire. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) The Sox are better on the road anyways. But here is an interesting question; Lets say that the Indians and White Sox tie for the ALCS. Both of them are also tied for the WC with the Yankees. Would the team that lost the playoff game, get a playoff game against the Yankees? Or would by virtue of the extra game, one team be .5 behind the Yankees? SB As a point of clarification, if three clubs finish the season with the same winning percentage and one team will be a division winner and another will be the Wild Card, the games will be played as follows: • The two teams tied for the division lead will play the one-game tie-breaker, with the winner being declared the division champion. • The losing team will then play the club from the other division for the Wild Card. It almost happened last year with Houston, SF, and the Cubs.

15 years ago, when I was travelling extensively, my IT Director told me he used AOL. I lmao until he pointed out they had local POPs everywhere. It was always a local dialup. Now that most hotels have free broadband, I can't think of a reason in the world to stay on AOHell.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) WOOHOO! Got my new credit card (switched to a Northwest Airlines Card--as I usually fly with them) and, after I make my first purchase I will have enough miles to get a free round trip ticket to anywhere in the Continental 48!!!!!!!! Hurray!

It was just pointed out to me that Soxtalk has over 860,000 posts and the other major Sox board, the grandparent wsi, has 836,706. I think the third has a thousand by now, but they will grow. Combined, that is a whole lot of devoted White Sox fans getting together. Plenty of room in the Hotel for fans of all stripes.

I have a one month extension, pending the Judge's decision. I'm contacting Random House about my book Hiding from the Law

I am working the community service angle. I am writing a little note to the Judge and request I be assigned Boy Scouts as my project. I already volunteer about 50 hours a month, what's a few more? My backup plan is working as a moderator on a sports related message board, I don't think she's going to go for it. Until they accept, I am still a fugitive

Now we all are experts on the boy, the talent, the myth.
