TIME's Top 10 Worst US Sporting Venues
Texsox replied to zenryan's topic in Alex’s Olde Tyme Sports Pub
At least the targeted the worst part of the stadium. And perhaps it is fair to not allow the great lower section to offset. So perhaps the Cell could be on two lists, the top 10 lower sections and the bottom ten upper sections. I will say after sitting in the first row of the UD for a game by the 3rd inning I was enjoying the seat. But I understand those that complain the UD is too steep. -

Sale back to the rotation per KW, MRI comes back clean

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 14, 2012 -> 02:11 PM) Manny trade was epic-fail. Peavy deal had all the warning signs and then-some. Let's not forgive how hamstrung we've been because of that trade simply due to Peavy's amazing month to start the season 3 years later. What we don't know his how insulated Kenny was from those decisions. Was he the only one wanting those moves or the only one against? Or could they have been ones where "we're all agreed on this"? There are ways in every organization to take risks and not be fired if they don't work out. In fact many organizations (I'm not saying necessarily teams) encourage some risk taking in new products, new directions. But you are correct if Kenny went out on the limb and strongly advocated those moves and was the main driver, he would be in a weak position. -
QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 9, 2012 -> 10:24 AM) Science has been an extremely effective tool to further human knowledge. One cannot say the same for 'revelation'. The Bible wasn't designed as a tool. Science has done an excellent job of furthering human knowledge about God's creation. Amazing actually.

Fukudome complains to Japanese press about sitting

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2012 -> 09:29 AM) OH THE CONTROVERSY! http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...ws&c_id=cws If this team doesn't make the playoffs, we can blame it on this controversy and Robin's inexperience in handling a major crisis with players openingly questioning his evaluation of talent. -
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 8, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) That's a really handy engineer/technician's trick in the field. I may have used that more than anything else I have learned in school.

Fukudome complains to Japanese press about sitting
Texsox replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Do we want guys on the roster that say "I'm enjoying sitting on the bench and collecting my paychecks"? I'm not certain why it would be a bad thing for a player to say he wants to play more. -
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 8, 2012 -> 04:28 PM) I think everyone can believe what they want. I don't see what's wrong with enjoying our 60-100 years, if lucky, and that being that. Given I don't believe in fairy tales and magic and snakes talking and immaculate conceptions, I'll go with the scientific approach. And of course science has always been correct and never changes.

I have five or six days coming up without really clear plans and was thinking about some of the really great lessons from school. Or useful stuff that doesn't really fit anywhere else. For example I learned in a college journalism class that US currency is exactly 6" in length. With the tolerances that it is manufactured under, it is more accurate at 6" than any cheap ruler you may buy at the store. Of course it isn't really practicle for measuing say 2 5/8ths but for whole numbers, it works very well. Anyone else remember something they learned in school that was like that?

Ironic that I am showing Soylent Green in my class this week. Maybe I will print out that article and have them write a response on Friday while my sub is here.

Chris Sale is now the CLOSER?!/Until he's not (Update)
Texsox replied to Steve9347's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Since it is so easy to replace closers, might as well destroy him as a closer rather than as a starter. -

I am thisclose to buying a Ford F150 4x4 from a friend in the north suburbs. I have a few options for getting it to Texas. One I am exploring is shipping, anyone have any experience with a shipper? Also it has a light duty snow plow which I plan on selling. Anyone need one? It was $400 new, I'll take less than half that if you will remove it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2012 -> 08:28 AM) Well we both know Kenny never trades anyone, and he always has the same roster. With caulfields predictions of doom and death, and fathom's worrisome assessment of Robin Ventura through 26 games, and Marty needing to trade everyone and anyone, we should really start to think about the Sox quitting the AL and moving to the Independent league. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2012 -> 09:14 AM) why the green? it is true Fixed. Just pointing out that Cowley would fit better here than we like to think. BTW, great post earlier. -

I've been busy the past few days and honestly not following the team. Imagine my surprise this morning as I read this thread. I kept looking over my shoulder to the window, half expecting the sun not to rise. I don't like that the team is in a position that they feel this is a necessary step. -

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2012 -> 12:29 AM) I wanted to use another example. Michael Richards/Kramer from Seinfeld. He was (rightfully) battered and vilified for comments he made while in his "comedian mode." So if he says things like that while either on stage or in the act of personifying Cosmo Kramer (but theoretically not the "real life" Michael Richards), is that not also excusable under the same protection? And what is the difference? It really depends on who wrote the script and the intent. If an actor is hired to portray a racist, etc. and delivers a credible performance as such, it is wrong to call them a racists. -
