I hope fans come around to appreciate Buerhle. I think he is about the most underrated, under appreciated, Chicago athlete. I know hard core Sox fans understand his talent, but for the most part people overlook him. Perhaps after he finishes this Cy Young season, that will change.

I imagine if you are a Red Sox fan, and accustomed to sell out after sell out, seeing empty seats and a 1st place team is strange. JR and Co. did their part. Sox fans have always said put a winning product on the field and we will come. It's put up or shut up time. I happen to think it is a story. The financial side of baseball dominates everything from trades to attendance.

Any Sox team in the World Series, any year. in my lifetime

Use them all. They are small programs and what one may miss, the other finds. The advanatge of Microsoft's entry is the free version allows automatic scheduling and updates. Ad-Aware and Spybot are excellent programs also.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) I have never given a dime to any politician nor worked for any of their campaigns yet the Repubs have been sending me stuff for years. I have always voted for GOP Presidential canditates, but have split my ballot in most local races, go figure. Overall, and very unscientific, but the Dems seem to "do" the internet better. I was very disappointed when I submitted the same 5 questions to Kerry and Bush via their web sites and Bush never responded. Not that it made a difference in my vote. Being a Texas and all.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:20 PM) Wow, Tex isn't the only one with high level connections... The Chairman of the RNC is emailing me personally. :sleep Glad this went to my junkmail. I signed up with the Bush campaign and both Texas Senators, have voted GOP in several races, donated to GOP candidates, and for some reason I cannot stay on their mailing lists.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 07:54 PM) And just who do you think someone like Teddy Kennedy would have suggested that Bush nominate? Bush has already been 'advised' that just about anyone he picked would be in for a long fight. Are you equating Hatch with Kennedy? I would think that meeting with a more moderate Dem would be smarter. There are always two political fights going on. The public and the private. Bush could, and maybe has, spoken with moderate Dems and gotten their pulse.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 05:43 PM) There's actually a reason for this. According to Orrin Hatch's own biography, when Clinton was trying to pick his first nominee, he had other people in mind other than Ginsburg. Clinton then went to Hatch and asked him how he felt about the person Clinton was considering. Hatch responded that the name Clinton had would provoke a major fight, and countered by asking if Clinton had looked at either Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Stephen Breyer. Breyer became Clinton's second nominee. That's the story from Hatch's own autobiography. Wait isn't Hatch a Republican? Did Clinton ask a Republican for his recommendation before nominating somone? :rolly Wow, I wonder if Bush considered that?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) He could have picked winodj and it would have pissed off the Democrats, who basically just want to s*** on any "conservative" choice. These people get voted in 99-0 in their current positions, but hell no, that's NEVER good enough to move on. Hypocritical douchebag f*cks. So why even have hearings? Just pass him through. After all it's only the Supreme Court. We should have the same standards there as every other court in America. Come on Kap, you can't seriously believe that just because he was pushed through with a bunch of others in a negotiated deal to fill those vacancies, that he should get a free pass to the Supreme Court? Or did you forget our douchbags negotiated a deal to approve a group of nominees and finally end a log jam?

QUOTE(hi8is @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) que? Of the four, they are my favorite. I didn't realize they were in a contest.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) I'm sorry... but that letter is f***ed up. Period. John Kerry is an asswipe - and all the politicing is SICK on this issue. The ink ain't even dry on his nomination and already they want every f***ing American to know that they will drag out his dirty underwear all over America to be sure he won't fight abortion. Whatever. Does this mean you are in favor of dividing America with this choice

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) Don't look at me.. Kenny is so tight right now he's about to poop a 10K diamond. That's a DiamondVision™ I don't want to see

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) Texsox has pet gerbils, but they smell kinda funny. I told you just to play with them, not to smell them. BTW, have you ever smelled moth balls?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 09:05 AM) It is what it is. That's the way things have evolved over the years. It's one of the sillier things that has happened. I understand the sentiment, but it really is silly. The guystopped playing, he hasn't improved any. At some point a voter says, I didn't think he was good enough these past two years, now he is? Silly and pointless.
