Throwing it on the line with out best 4. We shouldn't be that impressed by this. After all he is a big league manager

Actually I think we could sweep them at their place, without our fans. It will be fun at the old ballpark. Are the ScRubs in town?

We have had a few great game this season. I'm waiting for our clincher before answering. I know my favorite press conference was Kenny Williams in the dugout explaining nothing while speculation built up all day about a possible resignation. Priceless.

In a ocean of useless stats, fielding percentage belongs in the Hall of Fame.

in this post and your other post in this thread, you make some excellent points. Are you just that smart or are you that smart and work in some level in the criminal justice system? Thank you for the compliment. I just watch Law and Order a lot When trying to make sense of something that seems senseless, it's always easier to look at similar situations for guidance. Our legal system isn't perfect but based on our ideals it's as good as we can get it. This past spring a friend of mine was driving a group of young men (14-18) to a festival in Mexico, a few hours from here. His Suburban turned into a small plane, then a Maytag dryer, and leaving a couple boys injured. First order of business in Mexico is the arrest the driver and put him in jail until the facts could be sorted out. The kids were left without adult supervision. By our standards, this seems wrong. In a system based on guilty until proven innocent it makes perfect sense.

I Tappa Kegga I Felta Phi So many frats so little time. A 40+ guy shouldn't be at college. After they went through my transcript from my earleir college career a few core (fresh/soph) classes where missing and I have to make them up. For example A computer class. Like I could have taken a computer class in 1979! Gym Class. I only have 1 hour, they require 2. I can't wait for that badmitton class, that's important.

The Cubs need to stay in first for a couple more weeks. The longer the better. I want them out 1 round before us. We make the playofs, let them in win. We win 1st round, let them win first round. We're in the WS? let them stay home and watch it on TV

Jail time for idiots? I thought we were sending some of the posters from MLB.com to jail . . . The question is thus, is the crime worse because: It was on tv? It was at a ballpark? Involved a professional? In other words should he have gotten more than if he tackled and puched a guy at the bar. What if he did the same thing during a game he was playing in? Should we have different laws depending on who the victim is? A custodian gets you a fine, a teacher 30 days, and a pro athlete 1 year?

I will say this about his comments, if he wants to point out a Sox achilles heel point to our bullpen which still needs some great luck and prayers.

Lets play word association Sox -- Frustration Hey works for me in my lifetime. I'm just not that frustrated the second half of this season. The first half was over the top frustrating.

This is like a horror movie. You're doing everything (winning) to get away from the monster (Twins) and the're righttherenexttoyou

It is difficult to judge this when you have players breaking eye sockets of other players in a fight with no legal reprecussion. Couldn't say that was part of the game, it was practice and they are teammates. Place that on the scale and fans are getting too much time. If the leagues care about the safety of their players they should also get worked up over player on player violence.

I'm sporting the B&W classic right now ~~ and proudly ~~ Ones I will never wear are the "gimmee" caps from games. And may I offer this bit of trivia. The are caps not hats. Hats have brims and caps have bills. Brims go all the way around. Think 1920's stylin' Sweep, how sweet the sound . . .

Since I usually jump in and disagree with the good man ncorgble I feel the need to give him a . I just changed my attitude of waiting for the sky to fall to enjoying this season. For most of my 35 years following this team, the season stretched from the end of basketball season to the start of football. This year I was into it from before spring training and we're fighting it out in Spetember when we could have folded the tent, waved the white flag, and began the restructuring process. No room for negativity, let's go and win the damn thing any way we can, while cheering to the end. BTW I like the really stupid opinions and b.s. that gets posted here. Makes some of my drivel actually sound intelligent. I'd have to leave if everbody else who was posting was intelligent, articulate, and knowledgable regarding baseball

Most of the analysis is spot on because it's all opinion and opinions are good. I would like to see us hang onto Colon. I believe he is better than a 3 games over .500 and at least close or equal to Mark. I believe keeping Mark, Bart, and Estaban together gives us the best 1-2-3 in our division for the next 2-3 years. Let's keep our pitching together and see how the offense turns out.

Which market would you move them to? Critical fans are all over. As a rule I believe Chicago sports fans, and baseball fans in particular, are patient. If we weren't, both these teams would have folded decades ago due to lack of post season success. The fact we have supported two losing teams for over 100 years is amazing. By-the-way if you did move the team would you take your favorite "Tub of Goo" with you

MLB gives them credit for 2nd place (at least one team) it's called the wild card
