QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 11:32 AM) I'm as big a defender of gun rights as anyone here, but, that statement is ridiculous. You think a shotgun is better than a dead bolt? Or an alarm system? Or calling the police? Or any number of other smart security measures? Crowbar > dead bolt Police and alarm systems take time to respond. Time you may not have. Besides, it has been tested in court and affirmed numerous times that the police force's duty is to protect the community, not the individuals. http://www.totse.com/en/law/justice_for_all/policeno.html Keep your gun locked up and next to your bed. You hear someone breaking in, quietly and quickly unlock the safe. Its not like the intruder is going to charge into the bedroom first. They're probably going to root around the living room and other areas for electronics and other valuables and avoid people. A lock isn't that complicated to open, its not like putting in nuclear launch codes.

Places I've been: Arizona California Colorado Pennsylvania New York (Buffalo Maryland Washington, D.C. South Carolina Florida Texas Wisconsin Michigan Indiana Ohio Missouri Hawaii Canada: -Niagara Falls -Windsor Mexico (via cruise) -Cancun -Cozumel -Vera Cruz -Mazatlan -Another city on the Pacific Coast that I can't remember Places I'd like to go: Vegas London Germany Italy Ireland Australia Pacific NW Eastern Seaboard Various Caribbean islands SE Asia Hawaii (again) Africa My favorite place that I've been has been Hawaii, hands down. I went there with my parents for 3 weeks back in 2005. Spent a week each on Maui, Kauai, and Oahu. Paradise on earth.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 01:26 PM) I doubt it. Probably Rodney. Thome is on pace to break the AL record for Walks with 183 (held by Babe Ruth - 170). If Konerko doesn't start hitting better there's no reason to pitch to Thome.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 01:23 PM) Some of the worst ABs I've ever seen from PK and Dye. Good job of tying though! Is it me, or does Mackowiak bring a lot of the intangibles to this team that Pods doesn't? He brings tangibles like decent OF defense, too.

Haha, that's an awesome story.

Big Bad BB.

Paulie K's looking. Better than the damn shrug, I suppose.

LOL and DJ gets in a good rip on Uribe

QUOTE(Phil McKrevice @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 09:40 PM) I'll even overlook not getting anyone in with the bases loaded. That's going to happen from time to time. As long as you make up for it later. 5 walks for Thome. That's ridiculous.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) Wow that pitch sequence to Mack-o-whack was horrendous. Way to go low and inside against a LH batter idiot. Mack has been pretty good in LF IMO. MUCH better than the alternative. Yeah, he had one dumb play out there. At least it didn't bounce off of the top of his head.

Sox are knocking them around right now

2 runs will do just fine.

Another run or two would be very, very nice here.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 09:30 PM) I don't understand....you bunt in the 7th with a guy on first, no outs. In the 8th, you have a guy on 2nd, no outs in a tie game, and you don't bunt? As I said in another thread... Logic + Ozzie = Does Not Compute.

JOE CREDE!

JD looks so much better at the plate this series QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 09:28 PM) What in the world....where's the freaking bunt? Terrible, terrible managing we're seeing. HE WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!! HOW DARE YOU QUESTION HIM!!!!?!?!?!?!????

That'll do, too.

Great inning by Thornton here Offense needs to step it up. Guess its dong or go home still.

Sit your ass down, Lofton.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 09:19 PM) Horrible AB. It's sad when Chris Stewart calls an infinitely better game than AJP. Ozzie....this will be #2. It's not very hard to just go low and away with a breaking pitch to get out 75% of the lineup 99% of the time.

Paul Konerko, hang your head in shame.

Ha. Little predictable.

Fastball down the cock and he watches it sail by. He wanted to swing at that one...

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 09:17 PM) No Didn't think so

Does Thome have an AB this game?
