Only in the instance of provocation, not twenty minutes after-the-fact.

Read it again...."outside the park"...what park of this do you not understand?

Man sues baseball player for breaking his hand as he slapped players wife....

[guinnessman]

My, you have an awful lot of anger. Are you a democrat, by chance?

[kinghorse]

ad hominem much. I pointed out what I didn't like about the Chisox. So that garners a smart jab at me? keep on topic.

[judgeandjury]

Thanks for the information in your post #89.

I went to NY in 1997 and I never found a friendlier bunch of people. I grew up in Chicago and no one was EVER as nice as the people in NY.

"The Houston teams never "threw" a game..."

Sure couldn't tell by the way they play. However, that would explain giving up a walk-off homer to an individual who didn't hit one homer all year. Someone get Ronnie Earle on the phone I smell another scandal in Texas! :)

[guinnessman]

Let's just remember that it's still a game.

[kinghorse]

sure thing!

See ya tonight at 7 CST.....be there!

BTWanyone planning to slap Biggio's wife? I'd imagine her security will deal with any attempted assault..."Texas Style".....

Since when is Kentucky (where Jefferson Davis was born) part of the Midwest?

[guinnessman]

LOL! Great picture!

When was it taken? The Sox player is Robin Ventura, he hasn't been with the Sox since 1998.

I didn't write the definition. Check out the link in post 89. It explains where the term comes from and why the states in the definition are included.

Two wins and you think your team is unbeatable, well you are sorely mistaken. I am not as worried about the Black Sox as I am about the umpires putting players on base for phantom hit-batsmen. Damn in the early 1900's you had to worry about players being paid off now you have to worry about the umps pushing the Sox through in the Angles series now this one.

As for the Texans, I don't really see how that's relevant, they suck and we know it. But we aren't bandwagon fans so we will stick by our teams and not just jump on board when the post season starts. Cough, Cough *Sox fans* cough *bears fans* cough *bull's fans* cough.

I was reacting to the map, which showed Kentucky colored as Midwestern. The definitions in #89 leave out Kentucky.

[A Texan]

That's Nolan Ryan beating the tar out of Ventura and I believe that was in '89. One of the funnest things I have ever seen in sports!!!

[A Texan]

Correction that was in '93.

I noticed that too. The entire Wikipedia entry for midwest doesn't mention Kentucky. Although they do discuss Virginia's claims to the Northern Ordinance "Old Northwest" territory. One might presume that claim to include the current states of West Virginia and Kentucky.

Oh please, this is the ball park that invented the word assault!

[in hoc signo vinces]

Have I said anything that wasn't proven by replay? I think not.

The SOX are getting the calls, that happesn, but their play isnt anything that should give them warm fuzzies about rolling through the series.
