QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) Yeah keep talking about them. Pretty soon you'll stop worrying about other teams are start worrying about Boston passing us up in 1st place for the AL. nite? ahhhh we're the fans, not the players. I think we can have fun and let the team worry. I'm pretty certain that none of us will have to grab a glove and play left. But, I will bite. How exactly are you worrying about Boston? Are you working the worry beads? Reading all the Boston papers? Lighting candles? I just don't know how to worry about Boston in a constructive manner.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) Guess why that explains why the Braves keep winning. Organizations need to take chances, if it wasnt for any of them taking chances. You never hear about K-Rod , Jaret Wright (rookie season) , Miguel Cabrerra ( 19 year old ) just to name a few. Be opened minded , average MLB talent.. I'll take my chances with the guy in AA who hanst done anything and the guy in AAA who is going to " be an average to abover average (at best)" in the next year or 2. To be successful, those chances have to pan out. Just taking chances is like playing the lotto.

The White Sox pay Hawk's salary. MLB teams hire and fire their announcers. Hawk is just sucking up to the boss. Sad actually. He's a great announcer until he gets involved in office politics and sucking up for the team.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 04:21 AM) Texsox, I'm guessing that's the Hindenburg explosion. Correct? Yes. Conspiracy theorists believe he actually re-recorded it back in the studio later. Compare that to the almost emotionless coverage of the second plane hitting the tower.

From the moment I first heard about Steve Bartman, I knew I liked him . . .

I was reading that earlier. At first I was hoping that they all died suddenly, but based on that text message (isn't it against the law to use a cell phone on an airplane?) it seems they knew they were doomed. to all the families.

Rach Ray is way cute. You have got to love that smile and giggle. Also Paige from that home makeover reality series. Another cute as a bug's ear.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 10:45 AM) Who's walking down the streets of Mayberry Smiling at everybody she sees? Who's taking care of Andy and Opie? Everyone knows it's Aunt Bea (Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum...) And Aunt Bea has Great Big Thighs Her aprons are All King Size She gives my Blue Jeans a Rise When she walks by When she walks by When she walks by I love that song. Was that Brandmeir? I seem to recall Johnny B playing it.

I believe it is valid to point out JR's position in baseball and the apparent contradiction. I'm surprised this wasn't coming from the other way. National media headlines, baseball's diversity chair supports homophobe. IMHO, it would be JR's call, not Kenny's to suspend Ozzie. And while he's suspended have him coached in PR, please. For all the fans that wish we would get more national publicity, if this is our spokesperson, do we really want it? And we all know if this was Busty Baker speaking, we'd be offering to help drive him out of town. I felt the most self serving line was regarding Ozzie gyrating his hips behind Jay. Sometimes your worst enemy is your best critic.

Good for him. I am certain his district will judge him by everything he does. I just wonder if he'll adopt the entire agenda, or continue to pick and choose. If he suddenly changes views, along with the change in party, then I will lean towards my friend DJ's assessment.

I'm just not sold in Griffey. I see almost a Maggs like problem. With his health history, I'd be worried he'll just add to our DL roster. BTW, Maggs has his average to .300

Juggs, Juggs, Juggs :headshake After you both made your points, I award the debate to Southsider. While neither side was 100% correct, he is closer than you. Thanks for playing. Please play again. I know y'all will.

25% of the total needed sounds about right to me. I don't think we should bankrupt the nation to send aid. I don't mind being generous as we can be.

Bottom line, Ozzie is the major spokesperson for the club. It comes with being the Manager. He must accept that role.

QUOTE(innersanctum @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 11:57 AM) There is a big difference between an Army Soldier and a Marine. I know there is a grey area for civilians but there really shouldn't be out of respect for both services. Each member of their respective services work hard to earn the title and calling a Marine recruiter an Army recruiter or vice versa, is insulting to their chosen profession. Repaired. Thank you for pointing that out. I wonder if the recruiter saw the nice picture of President Bush on the way out.

Congrats Soxy!! Soxy, I assume this is limited to English speaking or will you expand to other languages? How are you controlling for each individual's English mastery? How are you controlling the pronunciations? Will the test be taped and played back? What ages are you testing? If the pronunciation has, for example, a midwest accent, and the participant is from the Bronx, how do you think that may affect the results? The topic is fascinating, controlling the experiment seems like a Herculean task.

I had the Bears vs. Packers model. I also remember a new rod and reel I received as a Christmas gift. I loved the rod and reel, it was the 4 month wait for the ice to melt that sucked.
