QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) I heard Tuesday originally and thats still the main indication, however there has also been some talk of him going on Monday. If I were to go out on a limb I'd say its a 75% that he'll start on Tuesday. what's the chances of Monday, I'm math impared

Lets hope for some early runs to help the kid out.

I remember rabbit ears and channel 44, then sportsvision which was a pay over the air subscription service that was easily stolen via "black boxes". Those decisions are being felt today when we are tens of thousands per game behind the Cubs in attendance.

What a difference from a year ago when I had zero confidence of anyone we called up.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) He still looks like he's ready to hit a pitch a mile and a half. He's totally imposing up there. I told my son when Frank walked up it would be a walk or a home run. Damn he looks so solid.

I don't like hyperbole, but this is rapidly looking like the best White Sox team in my lifetime.

Watching Frank draw the walk was vintage 1993. Even today is scares the s*** out of pitchers. Amazing.

I Love This Team

"We were just laying on the deck watching him...." QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) That's exactly what it sounds like. "Hey honey get some popcorn, I'll get the blanket, I think the wierd neighbor boy is finally gonna drill the dog".

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) I just got back from beautiful McAllen, TX last week. Man, it gives Miami a run for its humidity money. Phoenix temps should be 105-112 today and every day for the next 100 days. Good thing I work outside. What brought you down here?

Not with any woman I know Next time it might be really bad He's going to enjoy a little prison time.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) Everybody went nuts during "I Love This Bar", "The Taliban Song" and (of course) "The Angry American". Funniest part of the night was after he was talking about being on tour with Willie Nelson, they wrote a song called "Weed With Willie". So they played the song which was pretty damn funny. Then Toby says: "Hey, if you're seventy-two years old out doing 200 concerts a year, you have the right to smoke anything you want to." I've always been surprised that a pretty lefty hippie like Willie Nelson has been able to get over with a pretty traditionally right wing crowd that, albeit stereotypically, prefers country music. LOL thinking of Willie on Lake Street, under the L tracks, buying some weed. I think part of Willie's appeal is he is kind of an outcast. That sells in country a lot of times. Willie has also been the master of being other artists little buddy. He has hitched his wagon to more thoroughbreds than anyone else I can think of.

All valid concerns and ones I think we can contain. The school funding issue is so true. The slight of hand is wrong. There wasn't a net gain or corresponding decrease in tax rate to accommodate the lottery. I also agree that increase costs hamper businesses, especially small business. Health costs are a big expense for small business, which is why I think we need to improve the system. At least in Texas, when we first moved here, you needed to show evidence of being on some sort of assistance (Lone Star Card). There is so much poverty here that well over 85% of the families qualified for free or reduced cost lunches. Which is why the school board decided it would be cheaper to just give everyone a free lunch. Is was costing almost the same to collect and account for the money as they were taking in. Currently yours and my health care is being determined by an insurance company which is trying to maximize profits for their share holders. The insurance company employs medical professionals to look over the Doctor's shoulder and make certain he isn't spending too much on your care. They are sitting states away and deciding on your treatment. This system is flawed as well. For the sake of debate, let's say there will be waste and inefficiencies beyond what the private sector would have. Do you think it would be more than the profits the insurance company is making and which would be better for your care? Over treatments and possibly needless tests or under treatment and refused treatments? I agree this is a daunting task, unrivaled in history. I also think Americans can make it work. We need to find a way to cover the working poor. Those people working 40 hours a week at $6, $7, $8 per hour who cannot afford private insurance. And sorry for the capital punishment reference. I always find it interesting the varying levels of trust people have for our government. I don't trust them to execute citizens, but would trust them to oversee a single payer health care program.

I know we have a few dads around here.

War is hell. I cannot imagine the stress these guys are under. I wonder if these incidents have increased or decreased since we went with an all-volunteer military?

Do you think a Barry Bonds uniform will go for $1,000,000 in 75 years? me neither. Imagine deciding that you would pay $1,000,000.01 for a Babe Ruth uniform in which the authenticity is in question. :headshake

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) It happens all of the time and we say nothing. Women in places like Iran/Iraq/Afganstan get raped, beaten, stoned, etc for reasons such as looking at another man, not wearing a veil, or having the audacity to get raped. Good point. I was trying to point out that every religion gets perverted by mankind.
