My friends and I, none of whom are White Sox fans, want them to win because it will put pressure on the Cubs organization to work their asses off for a title. Before, they always had the Red Sox and White Sox to fall back on. No more Red Sox after last year. Hopefully, no more White Sox after this year. No more excuses either.

But I also want them to win for the sake of Chicago which hasn't seen a baseball championship since 1917.

Yes, congrats to the ChiSox.

And I agree with almost everyone here that Instant Replay in the MLB would be a bad thing because it would make the game take that much longer than it already does. I hate sitting through the IR challenges in the NFL. They take friggin' forever.

You were confusing me a bit there Devilman. Try to keep us all sane by putting the link movie in between the actors that are linked by it. For example, "Lori Petty (Cadillac Man) Tim Robbins..." and not after the second name. I kept trying to remember when in the hell Brad Pitt was in Shawshank Redemption.

David Gilmour (Deep End) Pete Townshend (White City) Andrew Wilde (The Bounty) Liam Neeson

Almost didn't get that one because Deep End is the only thing that Gilmour was in that is not listed as video, TV, or anything other than movie. And this was buried down in his appearances as himself.

Happy Birthday Usher Raymond.

Didn't know about #1.

Regarding #2... the ump said that if you go back and watch the entire game and his signal calling, you will see that it is no different in that play than throughout the rest of the game. Mike Scioscia's complaint was that the hand signal made by the ump was akin to what everyone else uses to say that a batter is out, while the ump says that the signal was the same as how he called the rest of the game. I dunno.

But you can't do anything about it. This will just go down as one of those ubercontroversial plays. Why argue it? It's set in stone. Controversial plays have happened throughout professional sports. If Instant Replay doesn't exist for baseball, why worry? They can't recall it.

they not New Jersey's teams, they North Jersey's teams. South Jersey wants no part of the New York teams, their loyalties go to the Philadelphia teams.


Is Jersey big enough to warrant being divided up into north and south? I can understand California, but Jersey is a speck by comparison.

And I only meant "New Jersey teams" not in terms of loyalties but because the Giants and the Jets physically play home games in the state of New Jersey.

Oh, and I will be at the Bears/Viqueens game on Sunday. Wish Da Bears some luck. They need it.

Well, you gotta do the Matt Dillon thing and have your photo taken at Jimi Hendrix's gravestone.

I was a fan of heavy metal and hair bands, too. But what was cool about the grunge invasion is that it made some of these bands have to rethink themselves somewhat. They had to evolve or die. Some made it, some didn't. And I think those that made it and are still around are all the better for having done so. They may not have as big an audience as they once did, but they are still loved.

Here's what MLB.com has to say about it...

"So when is a strikeout not an out?

When the ball touches the ground, in which case the catcher must either tag the runner or throw him out at first base to make it count."

According to them, the pitch was in the dirt in which case the catcher should have either tagged the runner or thrown him out. He didn't. No play was made so the ump couldn't make a call, could he? Unless there is some vital piece of information I'm missing. Correct me if I'm wrong.
