QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 26, 2008 -> 12:32 AM) Wow. How far from Parkersburg are you? What Wite said. The same tornado hit Hazleton though, which is 2 miles south of me.

Gage probably thought I was dead for a while, not responding to his texts. Last year was the freakiest weather we had at home, but I was asleep before the tree fell on to our house. Today was maybe the fifth time ever we went to the basement. We don't go to the basement during a tornado warning or during the sirens if its still light out. My parents both lived through an F5, so they know what they are doing. Today we went down there. This is Parkersburg: http://GOimg.sv.publicus.com/apps/pbcsi.dl...10&Maxw=500

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ May 25, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) I was one of the morons and tried to chase this storm. I have never seen a tornado and want to. I'm from Mason City, and traveled about 30 miles southeast to a town called Marble Rock, and decided to turn around there, because it looked really bad. The tornado started by Marble Rock and I don't know if it was the same tornado that hit Parkersburg, I would guess not because Parkersburg is at least 25 miles away from Marble Rock, but I could be wrong. Anyways 5 people were killed in Parkersburg, 2 people in New Hartford, and at least 50 injured. The whole southern part of Parkersburg was leveled including the high school. The school district of Applington-Parkersburg has produded 4 or 5 NFL linemen, which is interesting. But my prayers go out to them, what a crazy evening. Yeah, you probably couldn't see anything coming from the north, as everything was on the south side.

Here's your hook echo:

:gosoxretro:

Half mile wide tornado.

Iowa City and Cedar Rapids to be under tornado warnings.

Wow. We just missed it, but unbelievable damage. F3-F5 stuff.

OK

QUOTE (knightni @ May 25, 2008 -> 05:34 PM) 12 or 16 inch softball? 4.25" wide, whatever that is.

They're saying the tornado headed towards CF/Waterloo is up to a mile wide. Crazy. Softball sized hail.

They said a town got hit pretty good with F3-F4 type damage. Two large tornadoes on the ground headed towards the Cedar Falls area(Northern Iowa).

Looks like we're about to get hit pretty good. On the news they said a large wedge tornado that'd be about 15 miles west-nw of Cedar Falls.

Pinella costs the Cubs the game by not IBB'ing Bay.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 24, 2008 -> 06:40 PM) During the 8 game winning streak, the team was hitting close to .300. They have 6 or so hits the last 2 games. How did Walker get so stupid so quickly? I just know two things, its Walker's fault if the players don't hit. If a guy like Quentin has more success than he ever has at the major league level, Walker has absolutely nothing to do with it. Of course, not being hurt and having a consistent starting job probably has something to do with it as well.

Nice hammer.

Bad call at first.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 24, 2008 -> 04:49 PM) In the case of the vets it isn't his fault at all and he's actually done solid things with the Sox younger hitters. I'm not saying I'd have a problem if he's ousted, solely because its easier to fire the coach than the entire team and such move may wake the struggling vets up. Bottom line though, it really isn't Walkers fault, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a bad idea to fire him and see if a new voice helps. If he's worth anything at all, he should be able to help them.

I don't see how anyone can defend Greg Walker.

he gawn stellar.

"Dotel making no mistake that he's trying to get him out with the breaking ball away." [92 mph straight fastball down the middle] "And he does!"

And Danks now likely on the hook for a loss. Sucks for him.

Wow, thought BA was gonna be gunned too. Nice job Brian!

Oh goddammit
