My Grandpa lived there for years, when I was a kid. Small world, huh? You ever get over to Port Lavaca or Matagorda Island? Those were great beaches when I was a kid.

Umm try again. Both McGwire and Canseco admitted their supliment usages. Mac's was legal, Canseco's was not.

well I guess that makes him just another famous drug addict, right Roman?

You realize how many things could be considered "preformance enhancing drugs"? That is an awful broad brush you paint with there Roman.

If everyone could play GM for a day, what would people do to prepare for the 2nd half? First. I would stick Frank at 1B for 5 days a week, getting Pauly and Daubach work the other two days, and at DH. Frank is hitting .236 in 208 AB's as a DH with 12 HRs and 26 RBI (OPS846). In 91 AB's as a 1B he is hitting .352 with 8 HR and 22 RBI.(OPS1.212). Why is this even a question? Second. I didn't like the Everett trade at all. It weakens us in CF big time. Plus he hasn't been hitting worth a damn anyway. Aaron Rowand is my starting CF, with Everett playing DH as a starter, and getting occasional time in LF, and CF as a back up for Rowand and Lee offdays. Third. Catcher. IMO Olivo has been playing too much and he is suffering because of it. Get Sandy out there 3 times a week, and Miguel 4 times. Miguel was hitting just fine when this arrangement was being used early in the season, then after Sandy got hurt and Miguel was catching 6 or 7 days a week is when he started downhill. Lighten the load on the kid. Fourth. Get Sanders and espesially Glover regular work. Glover was good in the first month of the season when he was pitching every few days. He also was an excellent set up man when used in that role over the past few years. Don't let the kid rot. With Sanders we have no idea if this kid can pitch or not. Test him and see if he can handle it. With Kelly hurt we need another lefty and if Dave can't handle it, call up someone else (Munoz or Cotts or someone!) Fifth. Tom Gordon is my closer. Billy Koch either needs to go on the DL, or into middle relief until he finds what he lost. We can't afford to lose games cheaply. Plus Gordon's arm has just been electric this year. Use him while he is still healthy. Sixth. 5th starter. Obviously Dan Wright is not right, right now. Give Porzio a few starts and if he can give us a 4.50 to 4.75 era and some consistancy that is fine with me for a 5th starter. If not, if Rauch is healthy give him a shot. I DO NOT want to see Neal Cotts up here yet, until his BB #'s come down. Well that is good for now. I am curious to see what everyone else thinks.

I just saw this and got a laugh out of it. http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/vbullet...?threadid=21854

In a tie all players who have a winning pick get a full point. There are no half points. Also there is no need to lock the threads of who wins, only the picks after the start of a game.

I am still looking for some whining ones, but I have found some other good stuff.

So out of curiousity, Liberia. Do we send troops and why?

Seriously if 5 gay guys approached most men on the street, I think there would be some problems... I wonder how many hate crimes this show will be responsible for?

Hey BMR, if you don't mind me asking what part of TX do you live in? Is it near Victoria or are you further south towards Corpus Christi?

I can't stand just about anything that is country music

I would image they give him at least one AB.

But the team chemistry is what makes the Twins better than us.

Albert Pujols just showed me why he is the best all around hitter in the game today. That second round of his was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in a HR derby. He was hitting the ball routinely the other way 400+ feet! He didn't change his swing at all. If you watched Giambi at all you saw he opened up his stance and was trying to yank everything down the line. Not Pujols, he was patient and if a pitch was out he hit it the other way. I am in awe of him.

Probably every single time someone wishes an injury on, or revels in a rivals injury...

Pujols hit one 478 last night. Frank also has hit one 495 before.

And you called me a Cub fan? I would never campaign for Scammy :sosasucks :fthecubs

Chinatown is just up the road from Comiskey, and about 15 blocks further up Halsted is Greektown. Really good food!

This is exactly how I feel. The whole world leaves him alone if he saids he wants to see his dad.

This is getting so stupid. The all star game is pointless, and that is exactly what the players, coaches and management treat it like.

Heck if Dusty Baker can profess to be an expert of the physiology and the affects of temperature on the races, and Sean Penn and company be political expercts, why can't Limbaugh be a sports analyist?
