Wow, I don't think any of us would have bet on that happening. Of course Juan is the sac fly king so I wish he was batting again.

Pods Valentin strikes out again.

I think the show would be more watchable if Stuart Scott wasn't constantly reminding everyone how smart the Schwab is. It's pretty obvious that Schwab isn't one to brag and the trash talk on the show feels so forced by Scott.

Some of my earliest memories of watching the news are of Peter Jennings. He always had a certain calm professionalism about him that few others have. I had no idea he had such a short time left. RIP Peter

I messed around with my video card once trying to make it faster and now there's little glitches in the textures in a few games. I think it also has poor cooling which leads it to overheat rather quickly. Make sure your cases and especially the video card and CPU are well cooled when you're playing graphically intensive games.

I've seen clips of humans getting killed, but I can never watch the ones with animals. I heard about one guy in Belgium who tortured a cat and posted multiple videos to the Internet of it. Authorities were notified and they managed to track down and arrest the SOB. It's sad how many of these people don't get caught.

After seeing the footage, miracle is the only word that can describe this.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) There's no award given for having the best record in the regular season. It's called home field advantage.

What about the contacts that guys like AJ wear to enhance their vision of the red laces on the ball? If those continue to gain popularity, I could see them getting banned in the near future. That and cyborg implants.

I never knew the M and B thing. It reminds me how when I was a kid, I always thought that old Expos logo spelled "elb" in lower case. It was only many years later that I became aware their logo was actually the letter 'M' and suddenly alot of things made sense.

Someone really should NUKE BALTIMORE. It won't be a fun next few months around that team.

Seems like every AJ homerun is meaningful. Not to discount others but AJ homeruns really seem to hurt the opposition.

A four game sweep at home would piss me off too. It's just too bad that they're the Orioles and suck too much to mount any sort of comeback.

Buehrle's quote from his last game was along the lines of "I would rather get the win than go 6 innings." He may get that today.

I feel like no matter the situation, Viz is always giving us a chance to lose.

Come playoff time, I look forward to seeing El Duque on the hill.

I would be interested to see the home/road splits on that statistic. The Sox have played better on the road than at home this season. I think playing half our games at a park where the longball dominates the scoring is the reason for this. The trend for the past few years has been to move the fences in, but that is really counterproductive when you are trying to build a team around pitching and defense with a little Ozzieball thrown in.

Old man poo.

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 10:06 PM) I kinda liked the one that simply said "It's OK, Joe" I did too. Pitchers make mistakes all the time that cost a team ballgames. Joe's defense has still been remarkable this season.

Reports are coming in of explosions in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt. At least 20 dead so far.

If you want to wipe it clean, just do a reformat and then reinstall Windows. Reinstalling Windows doesn't erase documents and old programs and is kind of a messy process.

A "Royal" amount right now but if they ever manage to beat us this season, I'll be forced to recognize them as a Major League Baseball team.

Anyone else here suddenly wish Youngstown Indians was still around?

You can pretty much book it with a 6-stroke lead now. This is a milestone for his career but I don't expect him to be stuck on 10 very long.

Let's face it, the Indians' hitters, coaches, SOMEBODY on that team has figured him out. Maybe he's tipping his pitches to them or they've found a pattern. It's pretty apparent to me that he should be the last guy out of the pen vs. Cleveland.
