    It isn't, the spectrum of sunlight reflected to you is. :harhar:

    Sorry. I'm in school year round right now to finish my Electrical Engineering degree. Right now I'm enjoying two weeks off between semesters, then back to the books. One year left.

    My guess would be location. Of the domed stadiums, Tampa is where he pitches most often. Florida has very high average relative humidity. And, while the temperature is controlled, I seriously doubt that they employ dehumidifiers in their cental air system. Therefore the ambient humidity inside will be the same as the ambient humidity outside.

    You are right but you are wrong. Humidity increases air density (more water vapor concentration in the air), and increased air density means more friction on the ball, thus making it move more.

    I doubt they will be spending huge dollars, which is exactly what it will take to get Wagner, on a closer with Hansen in the fold. That is, of course, unless something happens to Hansen (injury, performance issues).

    Tomato/tomahto.....my point still stands. If you are going to contest a point I make, at least make sure it's something I said.

    Top of the order up for Texas.

    Jeter's a diver at the plate, so all of his momentum in going toward right field, thus the opposite field power. It's also why he looks like he's jumping back on pitches that hit the inside corner.

    Sacks full, 1 out

    Why not? The pressure differential from the lower level to the upper level still applies, and that is what was being discussed. I was trying to point out that some people can perform immediately. For a baseball example, look at Francisco Rodriguez in 2002. I didn't say we are relying on that. I'm pointing out that if several variables fall into place, then we may see Hansen up this year. Please read and understand my post before ripping a point I never made.

    The pressure can and will be intense, that is without question. Talent is able to transcend that pressure every once in a while. Many NBA draft picks out of high school flounder, but then there is Lebron James who was a superstar in his rookie year. Most rookie quarterbacks struggle their first few years in the NFL, and some are ruined by the experience, but a talented quarterback on a good team can have success in his first year, look at Ben Roethlisberger. I'm not saying moving Hansen up is something that should definitely happen, but it could. He may be one of those rare people that can play on the highest level immediately.

    There is a wildcard that may end up being played out of desperation if a couple of "ifs" play out. And his name is Craig Hansen. Bear with me here. IF #1. Foulke comes back and is lousy. IF #2. Hansen continues to dominate in Portland he moves up to Pawtuckett. IF #3. Hansen performs just as well in Pawtuckett (think late August early September timeframe). IF #4. The FO feels a real need for Schilling in the rotation going into October (which is the only thing that makes sense to me). IF all those ifs happen we could see Hansen being called up as early as late September. It's a huge gamble to rush a prospect into the pressure of a pennant race, but if he's the real deal (I think he is) he could be a huge x-factor going into the playoffs.

    No, they said, "...that's why you don't walk Renteria with Ortiz coming up next". Thanks for that pearl of wisdom Captain Obvious.

    Maybe the chubby-bunny on the mound should have been worrying about Big Papi instead of Gabe on second? Way to go Papi! 9-5
  15. ORS
    Hawk and DJ are complete jerkoffs. They have decided its time for full on "excuse mode". According to them the White Sox are losing the game because they made too many mistakes in the field leading to Red Sox runs. Uhh, box score shows two unearned runs going your way. How's that help us out on the score board?
  16. ORS
    Big Papi......'throw your hands in the air, cause your a true player'
  17. ORS
    O Captain, My Captain. 5-5
  18. ORS
    Second chance for Billy Baseball, make 'em pay!
  19. ORS
    That's Hawk (who played for the Red Sox) and DJ the White Sox home announcers. They cover all the ChiSox home broadcasts on Comcast and WGN, and yes, they are horrible.

    3.60 ERA in the first inning for Wells. (8 runs / 20 innings) x 9 innings, or .4 x 9 = 3.6
  21. ORS
    He's not pitching bad, just been a little unfortunate. Does anyone else see the White Sox as a paper tiger? I mean, they look good on paper with their win/loss record and pitching. But none of their pitchers are really imposing, and their offense seems to be fueled more by fortunate timing than immense talent.
  22. ORS
    9-8 Yankees, top of the 8th, sacks full, Dellucci up (Dellucci is 4-4, 2 HR tonight). Yankees just pulled Gordon for Rivera.
  23. ORS
    In Hansen's Portland debut tonight, he earned the save with a 9 pitch 9th inning. He gave up one hit and fanned one.
  24. ORS
    Five f***ing runs on three f***ing balls that leave the infield! What is this, f***ing tee-ball?
  25. ORS
    More ammuntition for Bellhorn's Boo-Birds, Marky Mark can't score on that play like Tony G did.
