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

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 07:46 PM) I know a good deal of the Galvaston Bay Panaeus vannaemi (Pacific white shrimp) story, and several of the farmers and scientists who have been involved. There definitely is a cause for concern growing a non-native species in coastal ponds, because there is 100% certainty of escape. As with the South Carolina white shrimp ops though, although escapee shrimp have been seen in the whiled, no evidence of a reproductive populatin establishing itself ever was found to my knowledge. Nutrient waste pollution inputs to natural receiving waters are also a concern in any aquacultuer operation. Viral epidemics, bad farm management, etc., have all played a part in really hobbling the Texas industry. And honestly, if I had my way, they'd abandon coastal ponds altogether and go with intensive recirculating (closed) systems, which would greatly lessen problems with both escapes and pollution. That is how we grow Pacific whites at my institution, btw. Actually I hear more about the ponds adjacent to the Arroyo Colorado running near South Padre Island. Much further south. But the same concerns. And props for the latin lesson

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 07:24 PM) Why should Bush meet with a woman who has spewed all sorts of vile invective in the national media against him? Why? This b**** said America is not worth dying for. She can kiss my ass. Bush should only meet with people who agree with him. That way he will know he is doing a great job.

Modest Mouse I'm probably way behind. I know. But better late than never.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) Then McCheese got Big Mac fired in a political power grab. McChese is currently being investigated and an indictment is expected to be handed down soon. Just a bunch of bias from the media

"now dammit, now, play me like an air guitar . . ." Anyone else want to play statues? I'm a little teapot short and stout, here is my handle, here is my spout.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) At least you fellas can talk to your mates about the Sox. Mine just shake their heads and look on me as an oddity. I miss most games on MLBtv because of the time difference. Most mornings I'm rushing to print of reports from the Herald and Times to read at work while they can read the back pages of the newspapers to follow the football or Rugby. Hey DeP, when you get a chance, could you explain cricket to me. Maybe start a thread over in the sports bar. I need a team to cheer for also.

QUOTE(alexgtp @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) I was wondering if any of you are the same as me. I have not missed a whitesox broadcast this year. If I am at work i listen to them on the radio. I the game starts befor i get home I have it on the tivo.. Heck I sometimes even listen to the game in the afternoon if it is an afternoon game and than i get home I watch the comcast replay.. WTF!! Issues I tell ya... Actually you are a damn slacker. 100 posts? Common man, have an opinion, learn to type faster. Have you not been in a game thread? Hell some guys post 100 posts per inning.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 08:54 AM) That whole area is beautiful. My wife has family down there, and we actually got to go out onto the track. I loved it down there. I see you found the sports nerds thread Man, no love for #3 :headshake I won two and was hoping for a trade before ebay.

The last thing she wants now is to meet with the President. The world tour would end, the cameras would go home. Interesting the party that kept saying if Clinton had just admitted his affair with Monica, it all would have gone away fast, isn't taking their own advice and making a bad scene go away fast. And I am in favor of the President waving to her as he drives by. Maybe she could meet with the junior undersecretary's assistant to the junior chief of army intelligence.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) I'm the EnviroCop, coming to bust yer ass. Do NOT eat swordfish or Chilean sea bass ever again. I'm surprised the Cali Earthcookie fish huggers (my peeps) haven't caught up with you yet. Eat farmed salmon if possible (and even that has its own environmental issues), and enjoy your ahi as long as it is yellowfin and not bluefin. As you were. We have a battle here about farm raised shrimp and their impact on the environment, but so far the environment in question seems to be all economic and taste bud orientated.

Sex, drugs, and rock n roll

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) I didn't read the original post, although it's fairly easy easy to imagine what it said or showed, but it's good to see the mods cleaning up a bit on the personal attacks... Actually the post wasn't that bad, and would have been allowed in the past. The ultrasound picture was funny as far as I was concerned. But we are trying to add a little civility here and hopefully everyone will benefit. And thank you again Steff for being so understanding. Some people really go nuts when they have a post edited.

Freedom of speech allows us to support our leaders in sending troops into harms way whenever and where ever they want. It does not allow us to criticize those leaders for sending troops into harms way whenever and where ever they want. Gee, how many times does Rush have to teach you that?
