Kanye West just said that President Bush doesn't care about black people on NBC's fundraiser. I think we are going to see a lot of comments along those lines in the next few days whether they are warranted or not.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) And there it it. Thanks for being the first person to bring race into this Mike. You self-serving piece of s***. He might be one of the first big name to have mentioned race, but don't think that there aren't a lot of other people who are thinking the exact same thing.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) Wait, lemme guess, he played hard ass again and is focusing on shooting down the looters instead of telling us the plan for getting people out, right? No, they showed him talking to victims and he did seem like he cared.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) Wow, I just saw Bush on CNN and was impressed. What about that glorified photo op did you find impressive.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) National Geographic had this one pegged a long time ago. FEMA had a hurricane hitting NO as one of the three biggest threats to our country back in 2001. The others were an earthquake in San Francisco and a terrorist attack in NYC. Two of the three have taken place since their report.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 12:53 AM) The D does not suck, Far from it. He is not being a homer, just stating the damn facts. He didn't say the Bears D sucked. He said the Bears suck, there is a big difference.

I'm not sure if this has been posted in this thread but here is a blog from a group who are stuck where they work but have generators for power and have been providing images of the situation in NO. LINK

Contreras looks terrific tonight. Only 48 pitches through 5IP.

QUOTE(56789 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 07:47 PM) Still, i doubt he would deny it if he knew it was there. He probably has a s*** load of things to deal with and he never heard about it, or forgot about it. How do you forget about 15,000+ people? How do you not know about 15,000+ people when it is all over the news when it is your job to know? Incompetence

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) 3) Scott Podsednik is not very good. Now believe me, I love Pods, but he really has not been as good as we all made him out to be. He has one tool: speed. His speed is VERY VERY GOOD, but not great. No he hasn't, but his speed is almost as good as it comes when he is healthy.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 12:37 AM) How's this for a prediction: The 2007 White Sox team is the year we're building towards, and this year happened as a fluke. While we've had a great season so far, I don't think this team has enough to win the World Series. However, our team in 2007 should give us another great chance at competing for the World Series. I tend to agree with this, but that is the exact same thing that was said during the 2000 season.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) Because he's been able to play every single infield position. get Blum. And aside from yesterday very well I might add.

Well, if this article is correct, hitting a grand slam in your first at bat hadn't happened since 1898. LINK While I was trying to find this I saw that Dustin Hermanson hit a HR in his first major league at bat. Edit: THey just mentioned that it was 107 years since this was last done so the article I found was correct.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) Super prospect on the Marlins just hit a grand slam in his first career AB. I saw that. Not a bad way to start a career

I don't think this has been posted, but Finley decided to play for SA next year. San Antonio is going to be absolutely loaded next year. ESPN

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 06:57 PM) Good pitching still defeats good hitting, right? Just wan't to be sure of that old addage. Maybe it should be good pitching defeats mediocre hitting, but struggles against good hitting. Good pitching will often beat good hitting but great pitching will almost always beat great hitting.

Good at bat by Timo, and Hawk, Jon had just as much to do with this deficit as the defense did if not more.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 06:03 PM) well we'll have to agree to disagree then He is possibly the greatest leadoff man ever, but are you trying to tell me that Henderson is better than Ruth, Bonds, Williams, Mays, etc.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) Rickey Henderson is the greatest baseball player ever to live (in my unpopular opinion) so he's not really someone to judge Pods off of. Maybe Vince Coleman or Juan Pierre. Its unpopular because it is completely wrong.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) Alisha Cuthbert would play WITH me.... I believe you mean Elisha

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 08:22 PM) Wow. Just wow. Try looking at Buehrle's game log from this year.

QUOTE(ceffa2000 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 05:17 PM) The Illini broke my heart this year but I will always have the best memories from the WHOLE season. All I have to do is think of Arizona and I just smile. Exactly, losing the NC game sucked but when I think back on the season I think of Arizona, the winning streak, Wake Forest, etc. Those memories are all going to be with me forever. I will be somewhat disappointed with anything short of a World Series but I'm just enjoying the ride, however not making the playoffs would be pathetic.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) You want to know where Timo might get a lot of playing time when Pods gets back? CF against righties. Even if Rowand isn't hitting at all against righties I'd rather see him in CF then Timo. Timo has zero range and is one of the worst CF I've ever seen.

Hermanson should not be pitching right now. But except for the bullpen the team looked great tonight.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) Uribe hits a Ford like double just short of Ford. I was shocked he didn't make that catch.
