It WAS a cheap shot, but Sammy immediately recognized this and apologized. Barajas seemed ok with that, though he left the game.

Name tag or no name tag, come ready to debate whether or not God exists. I'll bring the blackboard and chalk.

I laugh every time I think of the scene where the kid opens up his candy and finds a Candy Corn. "They can't all be winners, kid."

Thanks. My wife uses the address bar as a search engine (just guessing what the address might be). I was getting so sick of all of that crap popping up.

I know this might seem odd, but how do you disable the "auto" fill option on windows xp? It drives me crazy. Eg. I type in "www.m", and the address bar shows a screen with 40 site that I've been to that start with www.m. I don't know why, but this feature drives me crazy.

Is this another attendance thread?

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 07:22 PM) 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! Any questions about the "unwritten rules" of baseball should be referred to The Great Curt Schilling. Remember he had a hissy fit when Ben Davis broke up his perfect game with a bunt single. I'm pretty sure the score was 2-0 at the time, bringing the tying run to the plate. Schilling = Pud Pile it on the Red Sawx dickheads.

Valentin could walk onto the set of any porno and find work in an instant. Crede - not so much.

Favorite artist: Mardi Gras 1993. There was a guy standing like a statue next to a sign that said "Living Art." Every once in a while he'd say "BOO!" and scare the crap out of some unsuspecting drunk. Highly entertaining. :puke

6 inning starts from the fifth starter do a lot to keep the bullpen fresh. That's more than most teams get from a fifth starter. It takes the pressure off the rest of the rotation to be perfect every time out.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 09:24 AM) "Special" went out if style with the Ripken era, IMO. The signing of ARod changed loyalty of players to teams and cities. It's all about the $$. I agree. It was better when the players played for free.

Wouldn't a massive monetary investment in the country to our south actually help to keep people in that country? Mexicans are coming to this country illegally because there is little opportunity for them in Mexico. If the US helped build up their economy and stabilize their government (with even a small percentage of the $ spent in Iraq), there would be much less need for Mexicans to come to the US for work. (See Canada).

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) How on earth could you guys touch those females? We're doing our part to help them pay for college. A message we all should have taken from the Live8 concerts.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 08:05 AM) He's not into the stripper thing so likely he isn't doing anything like that. I told my wife that, too. Then I won the bj raffle.

I swear, no matter what I invest in, it goes in the tank. I hope they round up all of these dickheads and set Cumswalla loose on them. Bank One, here I come.

Da Coach is also pro-drink driving and doesn't mind a little gum throwing (if that's what turns you on).

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) Mostly all the Sox fans wanted him out of town as well True. He was booed mercilessly.

I say it every time I see steroid speculation on this board. The players themselves suspected. I remember hearing that Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz would sit on the bench and guess who was taking steroids. Players had every opportunity to get steroids out of the game, but they didn't do it. Therefore, fans have every right to speculate and call into question any numbers that have been put up in the last 20 years.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) There's a lot more guys you can add to that, including a few from our own team. Don't be shy.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 08:59 AM) Sosa was a scrawny guy when with the White Sox and Rangers. Sosa was hardly what I would call scrawny. He was ripped. I'm not saying he didn't take steroids. He clearly did.

I was reading the Jennie Finch Sport's IIlustrated last night and it had an article called, "Tom Verducci's All-Bust Team." 1b KMillar "SLG shrunk from .474 to .385 and he's no longer hooking balls over or off the Green Monster." 4HR/12doubles 2b Bret Boone "Liker Millar, has lost pop in his bat." 6HR 3b MLowell "Lowell's slump is mystifyingly long and deep....A legit 25HR guy, he has jit only 3 and driven in 29." Add Sammy, Thome, etc. Anyone have any theories?

QUOTE(UofIChiSox @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 08:07 AM) Analysts like Gammons and BBTN crew are paid to voice their opinions on national TV. Sometimes those opinions change over time, so of course they are going to flip flop and sometimes or even often be wrong. Agreed. Nothing, to me, is worse than when someone like Mariotti keeps looking for negatives in a story like the Sox this year. Who knows, in the long run, maybe this will be a terrible trade for the Sox. I like the direction they are going (in terms of D, speed, and pitching), though.

Simmons is yet another ESPN guy who roots for either BoSox or NYY. His opinion on this matter means nothing to me. That aside, I look forward to reading his article in ESPN mag every week. Usually some funny stuff. My favorite was the time he talked about dorm sports that guys make up. Worst thing in ESPN mag? Gotta be either Stu Scott's 2way (pointless) or DPatrick's smugfest.

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 05:22 PM) I believe his name is Tito Landrum. And may he rot in Wrigleyville!

There's something so crazy about a songwriter not owning the songs that he wrote. Even crazier is that McCartney gave MJ the advice that owning song publishing is a great investment.
