It didn't even wake me up last night. Now it appears we will have a ten day rain.

Maybe they thought Clinton was still President and they wanted to wear something they could kick off quickly

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) So is this gonna be like West Side Story? Are we gonna fight WSI at some point during the game? Should I bring my brass knuckles? Beating up old men in Depends is sooooo not cool Depending on who they are playing, count me in.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 02:19 PM) Texsox, to be honest, I'm too damn lazy to research it... so I withdraw my remarks. I wasn't necessarily challenging you on that, I was interested in what Greenpeace may be up to currently. I haven't followed them much. I've always thought of them as a more mainstream, "normal" group like Sierra Club. I tried googling Greenpeace and violent, law breaking, etc and didn't come up with much besides their usual trespassing.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) Yeah, I figured I'd show Stevie ray a thing or two... My dorm was literally right across the street from the Auditorium. When the house lights came up at the end of the show i ran back to my room to grab my guitar. Not helping increase your cool factor. Let me help. "It was mixed in with the opening bands stuff. I sometimes would be playing back stage when the guitar player was too stoned to play. I was the Cyrano de Bergerac of opening acts."

Hall.of.Fame Not Hall.of.Great Not Hall.of.MVPs Not Hall of.Titles Hall.of.Fame If 3000/600 doesn't earn you Fame, I don't know what will. Yes, he was consistently very good for longer than anyone else. That in itself is an accomplishment. If he was on steroids, he managed to avoid injuries during that time. I believe there is room in the Hall for someone who competed for years and years and amassed such tremendous stats. All-star appearances? Is Konerko closer to the Hall because he's been on a team? Being the fourth best player at your position for 25 years would be quite an accomplishment, especially if during that time there are 25 different guys who were considered #1. Being consistent is pretty special, look at E-Lo as someone who managed one incredible season, but lacked consistency for an example.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) He played a concert at UofI Follenger (sp?) Auditorium. I literally had just finished taking a mid-term exam in that very auditorium like an hour before the concert. Some friends (well, former friends, seeing as the lead singer shagged my girlfriend shortly after this time) of mine were the opening band, so I had an in to meet Stevie after the show. It was right after he had done the rehab thing, and he was absolutely the nicest guy you could ever meet. Do you always attend concerts with your guitar? Kind of like taking a glove to a baseball game? You never know when you will catch a cord?

Would Chip Hale apply?

he'd walk on water

I just realized I need some Muddy Waters I wish it would be hitting earlier in the night or on the weekend, makes for a better party.

I got Tim Raines and Curt Flood. Who else should be on the all-weather team?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) Tex, did I ever tell you I own a Fender Telecaster that I got autographed by Stevie Ray in '87?? I know it should be a Strat, but I only owned the Tele at the time. How did you meet him?

As far as Maggs concealing from the Sox. Everyone agreed he could no longer play during that contract. To me it's about the same a getting severance pay. Yes, they are still paying you, but you ain't working for them. If the Sox felt he could play, but was sandbagging his injury, I would agree he was hiding something. But everyone agreed he was too injured to play for the remainder of that contract. At that point any Sox involvement was a potential loss for the Sox. I don't see anything the team could have gained by getting involved. There is no loyalty on either side of the paycheck. It actually started with Flood and free agency. What did Sandy Alomar do to get released? How about Baines? Fisk? Maggs lived up to his Sox contract and left. I'm glad he did. Maybe he wouldn't have gotten a hernia, but I'm guessing he would have. Another Maggs and Thomas injury watch season would have been too much to take.

Are you talking about things like this? Greenpeace activists scale walls at Ford

no quarter given

12:02 pm the first bit of rain has started. Eye of the Tiger Dust in the Wind Flood , Jars of Clay

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) I was referring to Greenpeace. YAS, I cannot think of a Greenpeace violent protest. Chaining themselves to stuff and driving their inflatable boats around whales to protect them doesn't seem violent. What did I miss? Most of the breaking and entering to free animals, etc. I believe have been other groups.
