Amen. Wow, that may be the best thing I've ever read on the subject.

LMAO, Great idea! Bubbles if you stand, bubbles if you sit. Ladies will not understand

Second or third. He's going in basically as a DH. NL writers may struggle with that. No WS appearances will also hurt him. Check the last 40 years, only a handful of players without a WS appearance have been elected. THomas will be there. He is the greatest batter and all around hitter I've seen in person dating back to the late 1960s.

I'll admit I was wrong in the amount of influence that Oz must of had on Freddy to sign the extension. The man gave up millions to sign with the Sox and the connecion with Oz is the only reason that makes sense. I do not think we paid an outragous amount for Freddy. I'll bet others were very close.

We have not been able to elimate crime in our country, how do we think we can eliminate crime in others? Look at all the drug related murders around our country, how would we solve them? Rapes, assaults, robberies, et.al. are problems everywhere.

A writers first responsibility and desire is to be read. His paper loves all the attacks, all the attention. I dislike us playing into their desires. Ignore him.

As I was looking at the impressive display of toilet seats at my local home improvement store, I noticed a few big, soft padded toilet seats and thought yuck!, who buys these things. I assume a few are here

We just have to look at the roster to determine how big of a deal it is. Who would have agreed with a trade of Maggs and Frank for Bochard and Gload? Would anyone have cheered and thought it increased our chances? We are fortunate that: 1. We started out well ahead, talent wise, with the rest of our division. 2. Uribe, Perez turned out better than expected. 3. Kong is well, Kong again. 4. Rowand is hitting lights out. I will feel much better going into September with Maggs and Thomas. Can we win our division without these guys? Yes. But a WS seems out of reach.

How about google bombing "That's a white sox winner" to this site?

Losing Maggs and Thomas is huge. If the Twins lost their top two players, we'd be feeling pretty good about our chances. Fortunately it was to Maggs and Thomas not Buerhle or E-Lo. We have plenty of offense, this only lowers us a little bit. Still if they were in the lineup, I think we would have been pulling away from the Twins instead of treading water. We can display all the bravado about not needing our top two players, but don't kid ourselves, it's going to be a lot harder going deep in the playoffs without those two.

LMAO at this broken record and poor hateful man. And how did Israel fit into this discussion? Oh yes, if I do not hate the Saudis, and blame their government, I must hate Israel. So much hate in your life. :headshake Once again you are calling me anti Israel with zero evidence of posts to back it up. Just because I believe that a group of Americans, Canadians, Saudis, or Israelis can get together and do something criminal and have it NOT be state sponsored, I hate the US and Israel? That is stupid. I really feel sorry for your poor hateful existance. I can love a country without hating others, you cannot. You express your love for Israel by never visiting, only making racist, insilting remarks about Arabs. You express your love of G*D by never attending Temple. Keep hating.

They probably aren't deep enough to dive into . . .

Experts Warn of Two-Tiered Justice System

IIRC, The best record plays the wildcard, regardless of division. The other two square off. So if the season ended now, it would be Twins - Rangers and Sox - Yankees. Is it football that doesn't match up division rivals in the first round?

I'm with CW. He's one of my all time fav Sox players, and if we were mired in 4th with no place to go, I'd buy into a nostalga roster move. Not this season. BTW, I searched, does anybody remember that monster month Robin had when he was with us. Batted like .500 with 12 HRs, finishing the month with a walk off? He was A.L. player of the month. I'm certain my old and feeble mind is off on some of the stats, I just remember watching that last game of the month.

DDs??!! and on such a small frame. Or is this some new butt sizing thing?

Sometime in the future "ahmm, Alex, this has been fun but I feel like Charles Nelson Riley I've been on this show so long. With me on the ratings have gone through the roof, we're kicking everybody's booty in the time slot. I think it's time for me to move on. CBS is offering me a nice gig on Wheel and I think I'm going to take it."

In the 4E world, you have to hate someone :headshake

Steff, How often have you posted something and later shook your head that it was so misrepresented? I know I can communciate better in person than in a post. Even with green, subtle humor is lost, you cannot see the other person's reaction to tell if they "get" it. We almost never see what the person looks like, etc. Same thing that people have a different persona at work, at the gym, on vacation. Plus here we talk about the Sox quite a bit, in real life you probably talk to your friends about more than the Sox.

Let's just say my kids think I'm very good at predicting winning totals

Oh well, the official 9/11 report says no state sponsor, our resident Arab hater believes there was. I've learned my lesson and will shut up. 4E would refuse a life saving transfusion if it meant Arab blood. :headshake :banghead
