With KC losing today, they have been eliminated from winning the AL Central. Next lowest "Magic Number" belongs to Magg's Team which is 20. That's going to take some time. We'll have to pull this one back up in a couple weeks.

During my tenure as Editor in Chief of the College of Lake County Chronicle we published personal ads. To get things started, the feature editor placed one, I responded, and we had a hot, fictional romance going for several issues. It wasn't until other people started commenting that we realized some people really believed the stuff. Thankfully it was in personal ads and not editorial copy.

So much of what we take for granted in our society is based on trust. Just driving down the road we trust the oncoming car will not swerve into our lane. We trust the company that packaged our food followed sanitation rules. And our journalists must trust people are telling the truth. Sadly, that isn't always the case.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) Explain why Bush should meet with people who insult him in the media. Why should he?! Dissent is fine. Insults and personal attacks are not............whats good for a message board is good for our president right?! There are so many reasons for him not to meet with her, I just think the fact that she insulted him isn't as valid as the others. If politicians stopped meeting with people who insulted them, they couldn't hold a meeting in Washington. Do we really want a President so sensitive that he says "She's a meany. She insulted me, I don't like her. Make her go away, I'm not seeing her! la la la la I can't hear you, la la la la I can't see you" I give the President a little more credit than that.

No way. I couldn't even watch the people walking out there.

This may be YASNY's funniest.post.evah From the getting in trouble cuase(sic) of the Sox thread QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:54 AM) Chisoxfn's last girlfriend: C'mon babe, we've got about 3 hours. He's watching the White Sox again. Chisoxfn: (2hrs 20 mins later) Ah Ha! Caught ya in the act! Girlfriend: What happened? I thought the Sox were playing. Chisoxfn: Buehrle pitched tonight.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 08:50 AM) Thing is TEX.. here in Illinois if you don't have your I-Pass in the car you are told to still go through the I-pass lane and the $0.40 will be charged to your account. We just got reminder letters about this in June. No way she had an I-Pass. Yes.. still an idiot. But without idiots, how would we feel smart and superior? Thank God for people like that. Speaking of God The Hebrew people were sitting around Mt. Sinai. You could hear only a subdued murmur among them, but you could feel the tension in the air. For hours now, Moses had been on top of the mountain, hidden from their gaze by clouds wafting around its top. Sometimes the clouds became dark and you could hear thunder rolling down. In spite of the warm weather, this caused a shudder among the waiting mass.The end of day was approaching and dusk was beginning to set in when suddenly a figure came through the clouds and walked down the steep mountainside carrying a heavy load. It was Moses. Moses set down his load and raised his hands. "Friends," he said. "Friends, it was hard work and I have done my best. I have negotiated with Him. I used every possible argument, every trick I could think of—and I think I was successful. The good news is: I brought him down from 15 to 10. The bad news is: Adultery is still in."

I think it's better she's a Twin's fan. Although a guest spot here as a Sox fan would be funny.

QUOTE(56789 @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) Maybe she is one of those people that have multiple cars and had her I Pass in the other car at the time and forgot to move it, so had to go through the cash lane. She did say she had an i pass. Excellent point. So she thought she had a way to pay the toll. She's not an idiot for not having a way to pay for the toll, she's an idiot for being in the wrong lane. Judges ruling? She's still an idiot. Play on.

What is interesting to me is Robertson makes that statement and no one goes into hiding. When Salman Rushdie was condemned to death by the former Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on February 14,1989, after publishing Satanic Verses, he went into hiding for years. When Bin Laden issues a declaration, people get nervous. Name any wacko spiritual leader of fringe movements and we take their threats very seriously. I wonder if around the world, Pat's declaration is reported with the same Christian's are wacked sort of angle? Christians are such whimps, no one willing to go all the way.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 08:17 AM) I'm a master of stating the obvious. better than being one of the master.d.baters

Kind of reminds me of the House on the Rock in the Dells.

I love this rule. Could you imagine during a big inning, Ozzie going out to the unpire and saying, hey, we've got enough runs here, let them bat

And with a nice lead, these guys should get some quality playing time.

QUOTE(Big Hurtin @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 12:03 AM) Believe it or not, he's walking on air... Even during a night game he was . . . walking on sunshine, whoa oh And don't it feel good, hey, all right now And don't it feel good QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) Helluva game for the kid. Two dingers, a double,a sac bunt and 3 rbi's. AND a White Sox winner in extra innings. AND a nice defensive play to make up for the lost in the sky, three guys standing around looking befuddled moment.

I applauded the hiring of Ozzie in contrast to the emotionless Manuel. I like how he handles his players, I think he's an idiot in how he handles his bullpen. His "gut" is closer to tarot cards or a ouiji board. I don't see anything beyond what is unconventional, I'll do it. In a long season, it works out with some talented players. In the playoffs, where every game counts, it could spell disaster.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:43 AM) This is a particularly common occurance around SL&P. Ain't that the truth.

I'm sorry but she has one of the best baseball blogs out there. I think it makes it even funnier that she is lampooning the Sox.

3-man race for the Cy Young Buerhle Colon Garland Tough having two guys from the same club.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) I'm sure with all of the media MLB clubhouses have cleaned things up a little, but you might still be surprised at what you might see if you are there at the right times. Exactly, I'm not doubting the stuff still happens, just not as open as it was before.

Put a fork in 'em, they are done . . . Didn't even make it to September :headshake I really do dislike seeing a nice franchise falling on such hard times.

Much more at linkage
