Exact same feeling I got during Buehrle's game.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ May 6, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) Does anyone here still think Cooper sucks? Last year, and in 2006 especially, some people were talking about how overrated and mediocre Coop was. Guess not. Depends. How did the previous game's pitcher do? Was he good? Coop is a genius. Was he bad? Coop is overrated and only good for taking velocity off fastballs.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ May 6, 2008 -> 10:16 PM) Question: Does a long offensive inning hurt/help Gavin going into next inning? I would imagine he'd want to get out there ASAP to finish this thing off. I mean... either way... he knows.

8 innings

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 6, 2008 -> 10:08 PM) i know it really affects the outcome! It's just a sacrilege.

Ughhhhhhhhh ESPN is awful at broadcasting these types of games if you know what I mean. Every time one is in progress they mention it every 10 seconds.

QUOTE (Linnwood @ May 6, 2008 -> 09:53 PM) Uribe is 2-3. Hmmm... Cowley should spread rumors more often. I heard they are going to DFA Swisher and Thome tomorrow.

I guess this is one of those "Uribe can carry a team" streaks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2008 -> 09:48 PM) For the reason I'm not going to mention...Gavy is at 87 pitches through 7. Going 9 is certainly within the realm of possibility. You kind of just have to leave him in.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) I was under the (false? probably) impression that the only things you can do to keep a no-no intact is a walk, hitters reaching on errors removes the no-hit bid No. Both ruin a perfect game though.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:38 PM) OMG! Teh power of teh voice!!!111! Yeah I'm superstitious. I was trying to tell my wife what was going on during the Buehrle game and it was like charades. I tried to point at the box score but I got all excited and my finger was shaking.

Someone want to link the chat?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:35 PM) lol@lost. I was thinking the same thing. When we were at the game in Baltimore my friend the asshole O's fan blurted it out really loud and the very next batter got it past Crede. I tried to slap him but I was at a bad angle.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:34 PM) You know, Floyd still has a no hitter. I think it's already the third time this season he's taken a no hitter into the 6th. That's pretty amazing. WTF

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:08 PM) Yeah, but he doesn't score without the error as they didn't even get a hit/walk. Nobody hit hence it's an unearned run.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:06 PM) I am looking at the ESPN box score and they have that as an earned run. How can that be an earned run? Walk Error - to 2nd Flyout - advance to 3rd Sac fly - score Typical Minny way to score runs.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) Man on third, less than two outs.... a Sacrifice Fly? you mean he didnt strike out, hit into a double play, or popout on the infield? Thats unfair. I thought it was bizarre that a guy scored all the way from first but no Twin scored him on a hit that inning.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:43 PM) I think the stations are waiting to call Indiana until the "Lake Michigan" aka "Chicago Market" counties report. CNN has NONE of them reporting anything yet. Kieth Olbermann said on MSNBC it is too EARLY, not necessarily too CLOSE to call. I dunno about Lake/Porter/Laporte but looking at the map right now it seems like he's underperforming there, at least from what I expected. But he's doing strong really close to Indianapolis which I didn't expect.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ May 6, 2008 -> 06:56 PM) They'll call it for Clinton soon enough. They will. It just won't end up in the double digits. None of this really matters anyway b/c Obama is going to win NC as expected so the worst thing that can happen for him is he doesn't gain enough ground. It'll all be up to the superdelegates after this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2008 -> 06:35 PM) Despite that, they haven't called it yet, so presumably that's a strongly biased sample of what's been counted. In PA, they called it with about 10-15% counted because, IIRC, when they looked at the actual results coming in from precincts that were supposed to be strong Obama, his lead wasn't as big in the actual votes as it was in the exit polls, and that's what made them make the call. 17% are in so far, which suggests that the raw data might actually not be as pro-Hillary as the exits suggested if it hasn't been called yet. I'm looking at CNN's map here, and there is nothing from northwest IN yet which right now is assumed to be pro-Obama, and Indianapolis is also 60-40 Obama right now and it's only 20% counted.

QUOTE (The Critic @ May 6, 2008 -> 12:49 PM) Except at the Wolves games when they invariably put the camera on two members of the opposing team sitting next to each other on the bench. Then it is COMEDY GOLD!!!! I think that is stereotypical, offensive, and derogatory towards homosexuals.

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 6, 2008 -> 10:36 AM) Ok. I stand corrected. I'm convinced. There is nothing offensive about blow up dolls. In fact, I'm going to get offline and head over to visit my parents. I think I'll ask my mother for one for my birthday. Thanks for the enlightenment, guys. You've really opened my eyes. If I asked my parents for something like that my mom would probably laugh out loud. And if she thought I really wanted it I think she'd get it too. Only after letting me have it for being a perv though. That's just her sense of humor. BTW just me saying that isn't an endorsement of this or taking a position one way or another.

So WTF can this happen already? Damn.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 6, 2008 -> 10:26 AM) 1) Use the GOP model. (Note: due to the cost of the primary system, if one party makes a change, the other party almost always has to follow) 2) DUMP THE SUPERDELEGATES! I prefer the Dems' dividing the system up proportionally to the GOP's winner take all system, it's the most democratic and encourages them to campaign evenly to get as many votes as possible instead of just surrendering in states where the demographics don't favor them. Otherwise you'd have never seen Obama campaigning in Texas, Ohio, PA, you would've never seen Pander Bear campaigning in NC or anywhere else in the Deep South.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 6, 2008 -> 09:26 AM) After reading her commentary, this line stuck out to me."Do you think the players respect women? I'm not so sure about that." So, if players do this, they don't respect women. How many guys here have gone to strip clubs? Do they now not respect women because they had a good time stuffing a buck in some woman's g-string or enjoyed tits in their faces? How many guys have called a woman a b****? Are they now forever more anti-woman? That sort of absolute thinking is just wrong. ^^ Been waiting for someone who I usually disagree with to say something like that.
