NY Times Sports Section

had a nice blurb on how Dusty screwed up his rotation by using two of his starters for so many innings in that 18 inning game and using them in their usual spots in the rotation 2-3 days later.

Same old Dusty, even if he did keep the pitch counts down (in the next start). Couldn’t he dip into the minors for a start to give his starters an extra day off?

Ballhawk got pulled early... (Damn Lou and his double switches)

Unfortunately I wasn’t around to catch it. Had to leave early and just got home in time to hear the call on the radio. Missed the TV replay, but sounded like it went way out there. No idea who got it. If it was right down the line, probably a passerby. The closer to left-center it was, then probably ballhawk dave.

This is an overload of overflow threads

This whole game could have potentially been done in one post.

It's nice to have

I think the overflow threads are neccessary

But we could actually use a better transition procedure rather than one random person saying “hey everyone, overflow thread is up, lets all go over there”.

Al, is there some way to have an automatic post in the current thread every 5 minutes stating that the over flow is up? Or some alternative?

I really don't

see a problem with the way it’s done now. It’s no big deal to me.

they’ve been overloaded more often than not

yeah, but you never know

when you’re going to need them. Better to have them than not.

This ump has had a

very GENEROUS outside corner all day. That should be good for Howry.

by LAcarl519 on Jun 1, 2008 3:41 PM CDT   0 recs

I am assuming that Howry pitches the 8th.

Assuming the score stays the same, does Woody close?

People want to crow about the racism in the “Horry Crow” Fuko shirts then don’t tolerate an amalgamation of American Indian sterotypes that was Chief Illiniwek.

um.

My highschool team was the Indians. So, really, I don’t see a major problem with it. Chief Wahoo, maybe. But Chief Illiniwek looks, to me, to be respectful. And I say that as someone who is 1/16th native american, and my wife is 1/8th native american.

I hate to break this to you...

but 1/16th of anything doesn’t make you more qualified or not. How about if that 1/16th of you actually practiced your Native American heritage. Or maybe that 1/8th of your wife’s heritage actively participated in the heritage.

My point is that there are full-blooded American Indians whose lives and culture revolve around these things and for white people to use them for entertainment is just silly. Frankly, I’d love to see a reservation school name itself the Fightin’ Jesus. That would be awesome.

Anyhow…...wrong place, wrong time for the discussion. Go Cubs!

dood, you brought it up

and while I’d never make the suggestion that I’m a minority, I have spent time with both my native american relatives, and my wife’s, so why don’t you watch your mouth, huh?

I don’t have a problem with sports teams using the Native American as a mascot, provided it’s done respectfully. After all, in order to be a hunter with a bow and arrow or spear, you gotta be an athlete.

you want to discuss it with me rationally, then here’s my email:

he wants you to get a hold of Curtis Enis and get Kerry Collins number so he can return the lighter he stole while they were drinking at Paul Pozluzny’s house.

Who's Paul Pozluzny?

I know who Posluszny is, but this Pozluzny guy must be something else.

Not all universities can hold great players like Tony Pashos, Matt Sinclair and Eugene Wilson. See, Penn State actually has players who are deemed “failures” or “busts” because of their high expectations; U of I alums are just glad to not be pumping gas(yet).

you are flustered by Penn State being a dying football program, and the Illini passing them up. Its understandable.

Lets make claims with no substance about what the future holds, because people are always right about that!

I’m going to bookmark this comment, and get back to you during January 2009; I’ll even eat my own words if Penn State holds a worse record than the Illini.
