In my lifetime I never had to think about this so I could be wrong but wasn't the system in the past that the home advantage would basically switch back and forth between the leagues? In that case, nothing has really changed. Nothing you do as a team ever won you home field advantage. It was either the luck of the year or now the winner in some game. Hell, flip a coin each year. YASNY brings up an excellent point, the advertsing is real and will keep the fans *worldwide* voting. It has got to be a huge money maker for MLB.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 03:26 AM) It could be a hell of a lot better. I'm not impressed. Did you look at the whole list?

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 03:16 AM) I love this little list. It also amuses me how you have been posting it alot and people just pass it up. So much can go into that. Teams played, rotation, home/way, etc. Without a little more research it is, on the surface, very interesting, and for Frank's fans, something really cool.

I love it when they play their A sides.

Interesting, I had not known that. Score one for Clinton.

Mini-blog It's 3am, I woke up about 90 minutes ago, choking on phlegm. My sore throat is making it almost impossible to swallow. I hate being sick. I've been trying almost everything to feel better. If I read soothing on a package one more f***ing time, I'm going to find those low life, at least they found a job with their English major, advertising copy writers, and beat them. Nothing sooths when I cannot swallow. Herbal = Bulls***. I caught this up in Dallas, which confirms to me that I should never, ever, move up north. I even passed up a chance for a drink with a Soxtalk admin (and a possible get out of jail free card) to rest and hopefully not have this get worse. Note to self, never pass up alcohol. Isn't this nice, my sweet cat thinks that I need him in my lap while I type. Meow and announce your presence before jumping. Dark house, glow of the monitor, and some 20 pound animal jumps in my lap. Scared the s*** out of me. See, cats can fly. I haven't eaten "real food" in a couple days. At least one good thing will come of this. I tried spitting and it was like molasses. All stringy and hanging long. I felt like a damn idiot trying to get it to drop off. I tried googling Dentist sucky thingy hoping to have one delivered. I would love to go back to bed and hang that bad girl down my thoat and have it suction all night long.

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.
