Yeah. I think KC will come in third but thats due more to the horridity of Cleveland and Detroit than to their own goodplay. Id say theyll finish something like ten games under. 76-86. I just hope we dont get to the point where KC trolls start to come into existence. Thatll be the day... And apu, I dont think Ive ever seen you post baseball. Maybe I just missed it but its nice to see everyone getting some baseball posts in...

Hes a specialist. Hes always been called on usually to get one guy and it seems a lot when he doesnt get the guy he comes into face, hes gonna be taken out. Sometimes he starts an inning and goes the full inning but when he comes in during the middle of an inning, hes usually only gonna face a guy. And Rick White isnt that bad. I think he could be quite good. Everyone sucked during the KC series so White should be forgiven like all the rest...

Yeah. I read something in a letter to the editor of the local paper the other day and the writer quoted something from the Art of War. Im doing this off of memory so bear with me. It was like "If you understand yourself but not the enemy, you can expect some defeat and some victory. If you understand the enemy and yourself, you can expect total victory. If you understand neither, you can expect nothing but defeat". The writer then said we fit into the last category...

11-1. Sweeping Cleveland and flushing their season (and probably this season too since they started rebuilding) down the toilet was the high point of last year. I hope when we meet up with KC again we show em whos boss. I really dont think theyre as good as they look. Brett freakin Maynes hitting .545. That wont continue. Harvey and the rest will come down to earth. The only really good players they have are Sweeney, Ibanez, Randa (I hate that guy) and Runelvys Hernandez (who threw a two hit shutout thru seven today). But thats not enough to compete. Theyll be gone soon and it will be just us and the Twins...

Does anyone think this KC team is the real deal? I thought they were a fluke after our series but now theyre beating up on other teams too. Im really not sure. We played pretty bad in our series so Im not surprised they won. What do you guys think?

So Stewart is going tomorrow and Colon is going in the first game of the series against Cleveland?

I actually forgot most of the book (it was homework) but I seem to remember the kill the ruling family thing. Not sure why. Maybe because we always recall that part in class. I never remember reading it...

Konerkos gone 2-4 today. One was an infield single but its still something. I said from day one that our offense would do fine and with seven runs today I think I may have been right...

Not very Machiavellian there Dubya. If any of you all have read The Prince youll know that any good leader who throws out a government kills the former leader and his entire family...

He really took a stand out there today. Yeah it was a weak team but when you keep em hitless til the fifth, youve done great. Good job Esteban!

My brother and mom are both Cubs fans and today they were watching on TV when Sammy hit number 500. They both yelled for my dad who was downstairs and he came up, heard the news and said "Oh the miracles of modern medicine". I was laughing my butt off. But the other two didnt have a clue. But Im kinda proud of my brother. He seemed to care that the Cubs were losing and he quit watching. Breaking from the usual path for Cubs fans. Theres hope for him yet!

Can Daubach play first? I think Konerko needs a day off. But whatever, just see how Daubach does...

Whoa. Them Tiggers just got a murderous offense. 2 runs on ten hits in three games. And we thought our offense looked bad...

You'd be correct Molto! hell good or bad I'm always proud to be a Sox fan. CWSOX45 I got the whole 159 games left thing right off the bat. And sometimes I get mad, but I will always love the Sox.

I hate war but sometimes its the only option. But I respect your opinion apu. And God be with your friend during these hard times...

"And when he gets to Heaven To Saint Peter he will tell One more soldier reporting sir Ive served my time in Hell" This sums up war in a nutshell. For or against it, war is hell. There is nothing else to describe it...

In laymans terms please?

Konerko sucks. Val made effort. Konerko just sat there like a schmuck. Heck, let Frank play first, he says he hits better when he does and he cant possibly be lazier or more lacking in range than Konerko...

Especially to open the season. We have not gotten out of bed on the right foot so far...

Crede is here for D. If he continues with all the mental screwups he had today he wont be around long enough to worry about his ops. But Id go with clujer in that his ops wont be so high...

Well I guess philanthropy is a good thing. I just hope youre not being sarcastic. I really do care for the Iraqi people, if that is what you are referring to...

Now THAT'S irony. Oh so very true. You guys really dont see through this guy? He doesnt believe all that crap he spews. He wants attention. The best way to get attention is bash a country we love. Hes sure to get a reaction. Why stoop to his level? Yes, bmr, who are you talking to? Me or apu? Its not real clear. I dont bash America and if youre accusing me of doing so Im less than pleased. But apu doesnt do it for attention. I kinda do it for attention but not really. Would you mind clarifying your post? And apu, what does philanthropic mean?

Since I am leaving this boards political discussion Id just like to say sorry for anytime our discussion got overheated. Now I am done. I am done on my own will because talking politics no longer appeals to me. So sorry apu. Just wanted to let you know...

I wont talk politics. I despises your politics arnett. But dont think I wont defend myself. Just because I post on a political thread doesnt mean Im talking politics.

I think he was trying to get the point across that OldRoman's statement of "All liberals suck." was also painting with a very wide brush. You quote me as saying ALL liberals suck. I just said liberals suck. Im not talking politics, Im just defending myself. Please, you dont have to agree with me, but dont quote me as saying things I didnt say. I dont appreciate that...
