From the Bermuda Sun So very polite.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 12:04 AM) Damn I would LOVE to do this but being that I am having to read my ass off for school right now.... Think of it as a very long thread

If true, and I am reserving judgement until then, it is very sad.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) Frank's still getting back in the swing of things. He's a good type of guy to bat third, as opposed to Everett, or Konerko, or Dye for that matter. None of those guys generally get on base at a good clip and are more inconsistent. Rowand is solid, that's a decent option, although you'd like to see a little more power. I liked having Frank bat 4th or 5th when we had Lee and Maggs, but we obviously don't have those guys anymore. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said.

Maybe he can work down that hit to $$$$ ratio.

They wanted to be home, not driving around the town calling his name.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 06:14 PM) I saw a story about this on CNN's 'Newsnight with Aaron Brown' last night. The guy is getting a lot of attention. And that is the key to fame and fortune in America

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) If it is a non-crap book, then yes. But we have to pick a book with Spark Notes.... A Barnes and Noble exclusive You study Beowulf without a study guide I'm in. Fiction or non-fiction? Baseball to get started? Chicago related? The Jungle would be interesting. Or

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I thought about getting an Expedition but 2.25 a gallon gas made me think again. I've been considering a switch to a diesel, but dammn, that's expensive to buy and expensive to run. I do find myself jumping in my wife's pontiac every chance I get. $65 fill ups suck.

Anyone that has the resources to mount a major terror strike on the US can just get a tourist visa and walk in the front door. Why risk dying in the desert? Tourism in the US is a multi-billion dollar industry. But if it makes you feel safer catching some scared migrant worker trying to pick onions in Wyoming this fall, go for it.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 07:27 PM) I drive a red '04 Dodge Stratus pretty much exactly as this pic copied off the Dodge website shows. Looks cool as hell and gets good mileage too (32 HWY) so I'm pretty happy with it. The goperhead is getting 32 in a secretary's car and the liberal wuss is getting 10 in a man's truck. What's this world coming to? Get a man's car

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) I dont disagree that there are problems with military medical care but the care these guys get is second to none and when you look at how many soldiers are surviving wounds that would have killed them in wars past and how many are recovering from wounds that would have been permanent in wars past the criticism sounds increasingly petty. Nuke, do I hear a Republican saying that the government can run a successful, dare I quote "best in the world" medical program? We wouldn't want that for ordinary Americans

I have a very sore throat, 102 degree fever, starting a nasty cough, f*** on the start of a holiday weekend. I also may be watching my first reality tv show. They have finally reached a level of mind numbing stupidity to get me to watch. Linkage I am hoping when I feel better my IQ returns and I do not find this funny.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) On Wings, what's eveyone favorite ingredient to put on it? I prefer Soy Sauce myself. tabasco which is also the best thing to put on popcorn . . .

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) Well this time it counts. I think that should be in green How many players are realistically worried about home field advantage and how much of an impact will they have? I just don't see the Royals representitive hustling out that weak ground ball to short, because this time it counts

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) Welcome to SL&P Bobby now quit peeking in your sisters bedroom. and by the way, contact the financial aid office at the University, it's their job to know.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) Sorry, wasn't sure where to post it. Gamethread, maybe? Thanks for moving it. Welcome to SL&P Bobby now quit peeking in your sisters bedroom.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) clee deserves it. his numbers this year are monstrous. i was in support of the trade from the beginning but for the first time (after realizing he has 22 HR and 72 RBI) i'm starting to have second thoughts... but then you realize we got AJ and Hermey and Viz and Duque and Dye also and its ok again... but... still part of me wonders what it'd be like if we still did have Lee... Which is the difference in small markets and large. We have to dig a hole to fill a hole. At best we lop off the extra (homeruns) to add to the shortage (speed)

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) Wait, is it an exhibition game? Well, I thought so. Reading the many threads on who is in and out and who is starting and who is not, makes me believe this is way more important. It's all about promoting the game of baseball in the middle of the summer. Almost every team has a boost in attendance after the all-star break. This is all about marketing the stars.

Buerhle ----> St. Louis Rocket ----> Houston I wouldn't have a problem with Mark finishing his career in St. Louis and living out his dream. I just hope it is via a trade and not free agency. He has given 100% to this team each year. And don't tell me that if any of us were lucky enough to be playing in Minnesota or LA we wouldn't want a season or two on the southside. No disrespect to the Twins or Dodgers, but the chance to play for the Sox would be very cool. We have to accept the reverse.

The best team in baseball should have a starter and either Burhle or Garland should get the start. It's an exhibition game. I'm not too hung up on who is having a better season, etc. It's an exhibition game, not the actual Cy Young voting, etc. It's an exhibition game. I'd rather see an aging superstar one more time than a maybe here today gone tomorrow guy. But I think it's only an exhibition game.

Father's Day landed me a 1917 road cap. Bless their hearts, my kids even knew my cap size.
