I don't know... Hermy gives uo two runs. He sucks. It's time to trade Konerko for Mariano Rivera.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:18 PM) You know what, I really love that. You can't have a big enough lead against Boston. There is no lead big enough in baseball. I hate it when people say: Hey don't steal or try to hit homeruns so late ina game when yuo are 5+ runs up." Forget that... This is not football, basketball or hockey. There is NO clock. A team has all the time it wants to make-up those runs. Keep running!

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:05 PM) Oh God. Timo is working his way into staying on the roster. :headshake Is that bad thing?? I mean, I know there are many that hate Timo, but if he is doing the job...why is that bad? That's good.

Move this to "The Ledge" sub-forum (see, we need one)

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) Please... Pretty Please...

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 06:54 AM) Yes we have a 10 game lead, but things don't look great right now. :headshake Can we create a new sub-forum called "The Ledge" for our suicidal posters??

Yes they do.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) Not surprising. Florida, it appears, cannot get the specific deal they want. Frankly I expect this to drag on for a few more days, I sense a bluff game is going on between the Marlins and the other teams wanting Burnett. It always heats up the last few days before the deadline, remember the Contreras-Loiaza thing came together the last few minutes, just under the wire. I think we don't his contract, more than him. KW probably wants Florida to pick up a hefty chunk of that contract for the remainder of it's term, not just this year.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) I work with the nastiest MFers ever. We have two urinals and a permanent lake underneath them. There is a divider in the middle of the urinals, and I watched one guy lean back onto the divider and aim from literally about 3 feet away to piss. I was ready to piss on the back of his leg, I was so mad. I didn't know you worked at Wrigley Field!

We got Season passes to Great America! I love going there, but the Water Park is out of control. June was busy but fun. We had a great time up there...but July has been insane! Get there early, it opens at 11:00am, or forget it. We got there at 12:00pm, it was crowded as all hell. The lines to go on any of the slides were too long. The kid area was over-populated by Teenagers and adults who didn't want to hang out at the over-crowded areas. The wave was never much of a wave pool anyway, but it's a nice big pool. But now they have it fenced off, something they didn't do in June. They only let a certain number of people in at a time. f***ing Stupid! The staff were rude to anyone who asked why. "Because we can" was the company line, I guess. The lazy river line is asinine. Only one entrance, one time around and that's it...Unless you rent a blue raft to carry around the whole day, then you can cut to the front and stay on as long as you want. But those prices are horrible. The food is bad and costs more than the general park's food. Upon leaving (around 2:00pm) we noticed there was now a line to get into Hurricane Harbor. Waiting time 45 minutes. They let people only when people leave. When we got out to the Southwest Territory, we noticed the end of another line under the train bridge! These were people waiting in line to wait in line to get in!!! That line was a 90 minute wait!!! Six Flags did NOT anticipate the crowds for this new water park. They are seriously unorganized and under prepared to handle this. The regular park is still tons of fun!! Crowds are smaller too during the day. I've been to the Disney water parks many times. I have never seen people treated like this. More people in their parks than Six Falgs, but the lines are moving. The wave pool (and what a wave, wow) is open for all. The lazy river has no line becasue you can get on and off anywhere. You don't have to rent a raft...etc. I will enoy this again in November. They should take a page out of Disney's book on how to treat the patron. My analysis: Skip it. Go to other parks in the Dells. If you have young kids try Cypress Cove in Woodridge, it's awesome!

QUOTE(mreye @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 08:18 AM) Let's just get a suite. Rememebr that scene in Caddyshack when the caddies get to use the Country Club pool?? yeah...like that.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 07:51 AM) http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-mar...ports-headlines He's a guy we could trade for this year, maybe Uribe and Contreras for A.J. Burnett and Alex Gonzalez. We would probably have to add a prospect, but we wouldn't lose anything as Gonzo is just as good defensively and better offesively. However, he would make a lot of money next year and Uribe will still be reletively cheap. Also, I still like Juan and think he could turn it around this year. But, just something to think about. Throw Todd Jones in there and maybe...

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 07:57 AM) If they can do that, there’s no reason why the Sox can’t advance all the way to the World Series. Hopefully, the Cubs will be there waiting for them. They'll need someone to park their cars, I guess. :fthecubs

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) I don't know. Stephen A. Smith was pretty good as a fill in for Jim Rome. Is he still saying the Lakers will beat the Pistons?? "Did I stutter?!?" What a jerk.

Could someone change my title from "September call-up" to "Resident Plushie" Thanks!
