QUOTE(CubKilla @ May 1, 2005 -> 11:01 AM) Then the US better get moving. This $2.29 a gallon crap is getting out of hand. More oil isn't the solution; alternative fuels is what will keep oil prices down. I've done a lot of research into the "oil problem" and more oil will have little to no effect on future prices. As of right now about 25% of U.S power plants are run on oil (only 8% on nuclear power), build more nuclear power plants, invest in solar, wind and geothermal power. Finally there's nothing like a fuel efficient car, if everyone was getting 40 miles to the gallon we wouldn't have this problem.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) That's what I never understood about the whole "war for oil" argument. Iraq produces, on its best day, about 2 million barrels of oil. That's peanuts compared to nations like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and even Iran. If you really wanted to talk about a war for oil the correct place to look was the first Gulf War and that's because Saddam Hussein was poised to sieze most of it in the gulf region. Iraq might not have the capabilities to produce large amounts of oil now, but the Iraq oil reserves are supposed to be over 100 billion barrels. Thats second only to Saudi Arabia, so there's plenty money to be made off Iraqi oil.

QUOTE(toasty @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) has anyone seen a pitch count for garland? 106 after 8.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 10:48 PM) "Go Bulls" Hawk is certainly on crack tonight. Yeah, but it's a good kind of crack

I thought Aaron was gonna plow the catcher. Still haven't seen a decent home plate collision this year.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) I feel this is a key here. People were not criticizing Crede after only a few games they were criticizing him after 2 full seasons of below expectation play. It a new season, the guy should be given a chance. I don't get how you can count a guy out after 5 games, like many people seemed to have done. You know what, I'm gonna stop arguing his point, sit back, drink a beer and enjoy a Sox win. Who cares, the Sox are 13-4 and isn't that what really matters.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 10:06 PM) Because Rowand is good and Crede has been bad for 2 years plus the first couple games of this season. Let me start by saying I'm a huge Rowand fan, but 3 1/2 great months shouldn't cut him that much slack. With that said I don't think he should criticize Rowand after only 16 games; he was justing pointing out people shouldn't have criticized Crede after only a few games.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 09:54 PM) Critical of Crede after 2 years, not a few games. Yeah, but people seem to have it in for Crede. If Crede was still hitting .200 people would be b****ing left and right, while one person says something negative about Rowand and everyone comes to his defense.

I take this is a shot at all the people who were critical of Crede after only a few games.

Charlotte loses 7-2 BOX SCORE -Borch 1-3 with a walk, hitting .189 -Anderson 1-3 with a walk, RBI, hitting .306/.396/.543, .939 OPS -Davis 1-4, now hitting .258 -Phillips (L, 0-2), 4.0, 7 Hits, 5 ER, 2 BB, 5 SO, 10.80 ERA -Charlotte is now 2-13 -Bullpen pitches well: 4 IP, 2 Hits, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 SO

QUOTE(winodj @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) The EU Constitution is a joke. They left out all the areas of disagreement so they could have a document. Baby steps, you gotta have a base to start from. Eventually they'll argee on a strong constitution. Remember, we didn't get it right our first time around either.

QUOTE(IndplsSoxFan @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) I haven't been paying too close attention, but are the scouts seats always that empty? How do those go unfilled? PS. Great win tonight! The $175 price tag, that's how.

Best news i've heard all day, something about Timo really pisses me off.

Plenty of good pitching today: Kannapolis- 3-1 Loss -Liotta 5 IP (guessing), 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 SO http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/mil...ashafx_kanafx_1 Winston-Salem- 4-2 Loss -Haigwood 4 IP (guessing), 3 ER, 3 BB, 6 SO http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/mil...wswafx_kinafx_1 Birmingham- 4-3 Win -Pacheco pitched well, 5 IP (guessing), 1 ER, 5 SO -Fields with 2 hits http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/mil...biraax_jaxaax_1 Charlotte- 3-2 Win -Bmac 7 IP, 1 ER, 10 SO -Borchard 0-4 -Brian Becker 2-4, solo-HR http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/mil...colaaa_chraaa_1

Now that's a f***en baseball game!

QUOTE(quade36 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) You know they are going to lose by a run now.... Or not That's what you call f***EN CLUTCH!!!!

Well done

Confirmation of a little paranoid child yes, although those pants do look a little queerish.

f***en hilarious!

Just to point out: Duhon averages 10.3 PPG per 48 min while the opposing PG averages (when Duhon is on the floor) 20.7 PPG per 48 min Now, that is probably a little skewed since the Bulls play a decent amount of zone, but he's clearly being out produced by opposing PGs. The rest of his and opponent production if your interested: http://www.82games.com/04CHI2C.HTM

QUOTE(Butter Parque @ Feb 27, 2005 -> 06:29 PM) I haven't seen many Bulls games this year, how has Chris Duhon done? Is he almost as good as Ben Gordon? No, not even close. A 34% FG% is laughable, but he has shot better the last 10 games (40%). Duhon is a good back-up PG, why he's starting on a NBA team is anybody's guess.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 11:49 PM) Why? He can clearly get more money in free agency. He can just as easily get injured, lose his stuff, etc. Nothing is a given, I'll take the guaranteed $40 million and look to score big next time around.

They did step up with a pretty good offer, if i was him i'd take it.

On mondays all tickets are half price, it doesn't matter what time you order them.

They got a pretty good pitching prospect, he was rated really high in the Cubs system. So, yeah, they did benefit.
