yo But he does haul ass The more I think about it I have to thank ngorgbl for spending so much energy enlightening us on Bartolo. I agree with ncorgbl now. You don't have to post anymore about our lack of effort Tub of Goo. I encourage everyone else who agrees with Ncorgbl to also let him know how much we thank him and agree

I play a lot of match play golf and to stay in the right mental state you always expect your opponent to hit the miracle shot, recover from anywhere on the course. Assume the Twins are going to sweep the worst team in MLB history. If Detroit manages a win that will be a gift. We have to beat Min and KC head to head. No other scenario his probable enough to worry about. We have tough games against our likely playoff opponents ahead.

The biggest series will be next week. Two possible situations next week. We lose or split this series and go into Minny 1 or 2 games down adn need a sweep to keep our dreams alive. Or we go in 1 or 2 games up and can hook 'em. This series is bug but not nearly as big as next weeks.

I was hoping you'd tip that one in. Not that he needs and help on my part but corg is correct that Bart is not having his usual season. Perhaps it's lack of effort or age. If we made a historical look at corg's beloved Frank we will find he's not having a career best season either. I don't believe Frank's efforts are lacking and I don't believe Bart's efforts are lacking. Wins and ERA for Bart 1997 4-7 5.65 1998 14-9 3.71 1999 18-5 3.95 2000 15-8 3.88 2001 14-14 4.09 2002 (combined) 20-8 3.31 2003 12-12 4.08 The only career best catagory that Bart may reach this year is innings pitched and some baseball fans might consider this a plus based on our bullpen woes early in the season. After tonight, this will be his 2nd most innings pitched. Corg, I guess by the time I got around to reading your posts they were all after the start which is why you were generally wrong half the time. I'll be more attentive in the future. Now back to watching paint peel.

Are you saying I don't have that many friends?

Unlike other senior citizens, at least corg is regular This week's is different, he jumped in before the game, not waiting for disaster. I admire that. I also know he'll come around tomorrow and be happy he's wrong maybe eat a little crow. Of course he'll gloat if he's right. Guys (?) like him are necessary on the boards. They add charcter and charm, like the peeling paint on an antique. I would love to start a collection for corg and Bart to have lunch and discuss their differences. As long as he's wearing a WS Jersey I'm cheering him on.

It grows longer when she talks to it. Sometimes a few beers. oops, what are we talking about

No, Steff, not 'whiney'. Stated flat out, the guy makes no effort for us. Where did you ever read me post anything 'whiney'? No effort. For the sake of debate, I'll agree with you and say ok no effort. Then I will still take Bart and no effort over 2/3 of the MLB pitchers. A no effort 2 hitter is a nice thing to watch. I'm enjoying our rotation around here: Mark - no comment from ncorgbl E-Lo - no comment from ncorgbl Bart - Tub of Goo thread restarted or new from ncorgbl Garland - no comment from ncorgbl Whomever - no comment from ncorgbl ncorgbl, keep on posting I love your stuff. I almost never agree but I love your persistance and consitancy. I also can't believe the same people rush in to argue withh you. They can't win. It's like trying to wake a person pretending to be asleep.

. . . or Wednesday or the next time we play Minnihaha

Let's see how I can make it. Early flight from Harlingen, Texas to Midway via. Jackson, Mississippi. $497 roundtrip Cab from Midway to the Cell $55 Tickets, Hot Dogs, Beef Sandwich, Italian Sausage, $65 Beers for all my Soxtalk friends $675 Hmmm, is the game on ESPN?

Not bad for a 5th starter that shouldn;t have made the team

The more the talking heads annoint the WS winners of the division the worse the sickening feeling in my stomach. Anything less than a quality playoff run will leave me very frustrated at this team. The underachiever thread could be very long. On the bright side looking around the team everyone seesm to be playing at their best or near their best. Far better than a big first half and hold on.

4-hour lab. What class?

I'm just looking for a few posts to reply to so I can reach 1,500 and a new title

Ncorgbl your record is sticking, bump the turn table

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.

Who will win the series (CHW/MIN/Split) (2 points)? CHW 2) Will any of the games go extra innings (Y/N) (2 points)? 1 3) How many errors will the Sox make (4 points)? 1 4) How many RBI will Paul Konerko have (4 points)? 4 5) How many homeruns will the Sox hit in the series (5 points)? 5 6) How many relief appearances will the bullpen make (5 points)? 9 7) Which Sox starter will give up the fewest earned runs (4 points)? Bart 8) Will Carlos Lee have at least 4 RBI in the series (Y/N) (2 points)? Yes 9) Who will lead the AL Central after the series (2 points)? CHW 10) Will Michael Ryan hit a homerun (Y/N) (2 points)?

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.
