QUOTE (Shadows @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 11:42 AM) Who was traded for Marty Booker and a 3rd round pick just so they could move on and get him off the team.. Brady Quinn would cost a LOT more than that, guaranteed Miami isn't cutting or trading Ronnie Brown, he is coming off knee surgery and Ricky Williams has looked great so far.. people are looking too far into it I was responding to the fact that the Bears never make a move, not the availability of Quinn or Brown.

the Bengals proved that they really dont care what you do, or how many times you do it, and re-signed Chris Henry Odell Thurman soon to follow....../green(?)

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 10:49 AM) That's f***ing ridiculous. It's too bad it's impossible to see these games on tv. ESPN ran the highlights today. I couldnt find any highlights on the webpage though i do have to say, Schierholtz slide, while retaliatory, was way out of line. it wasnt a slide, it was Torii Hunter-Jamie Burke part 2, but the Chinese catcher didnt even have the ball. After it happened, things went crazy. Matt LaPorta's beanball was really bad though, and it was after the slide/collision. He took it off the back of the head, and you could tell that the pitcher put it right where he wanted to

I dont know if any of you saw the highlights of the US vs China baseball game, but it was all kinds of dirty http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer08/bas...ecap?gameId=646 Matt Laporta was beaned in the head after a hard slide at home by Nate Shierholtz(who was beaned twice), the US team was beaned 4 times in the game. at the end of the game with US up 9-0, chinese player Yang Yang hit a meaningless homerun and ran around the base with his "number one" finger pointed up the entire time and pumping his fists like they just won. Chinese manager Jim lefebvre, Pitcher Chen Kun, and pitching coach Steve Ontiveros were all thrown out of the game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 07:49 AM) They showed a view of the play behind homeplate and it looked like Cabrera held up his mitt quickly, as if to tell Mark and Alexei that he had the throw. It must not have been intentional because then he pulled up as if he expected Alexei to take the throw. Who should take the throw depends on baserunners and who is hitting. From the sounds of it it should have been Ramirez throw, but I am guessing Alexei deferred to Cabrera because of the brief holding up of the glove. I didn't hear the post game show for an official comment, but that is how I saw it. the way I see it, that is ALWAYS the shortstops ball. Cabrera has all of his momentum going towards first, Alexei has to stop his momentum and throw across his body to make the play if he takes the throw. The only time the 2nd baseman should be taking a throw for a DP should be when it is coming from the SS or 3rd baseman. Just my two cents.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 07:45 AM) Even if he becomes available the Bears won't make the move. They NEVER make the move. (cough, except for, cough, Rick Mirer, cough) They made the move for Ogunleye.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) only if you touch yourself We usually wait for you to show up before all that stuff starts

I dont think its over by a long shot. I havent seen either QB completely distinguish himself during the two games I have seen. Orton starts the first game and fumbles a drive away, and looks completely ineffective. Grossman starts the second game, gets exactly .01 seconds to make any decision, throws a pick(a tipped pick at that), and is ineffective. Like everyone says, this position is going to be set up by the O-Line, and as of right now the O-line is just flat out awful.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 04:20 PM) Anyone going to be in there tonight? maybe just maybe. If you promise to show your pretty face

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) No Orton I am very suprised! time to buy into that whole re-broken clavicle thing, eh?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 10:56 AM) With the Batman franchise, I don't scoff at anything. They marketed the hell outta that thing almost two years prior. agreed, there was tons of viral marketing. Thats a well made fan poster

I just dont see how a Catch-All thread is a downfall of this site. It doesnt detract from the amount of posted threads IMO, there is still plenty to sift through. To me, specific threads are like the newspaper, and the catch-all is like sports talk at the bar with buddies ("hey did you hear what happened to so-and-so?"). They each serve a purpose. Maybe something should be done to curb the amount of posts in the catch-all (maybe a 25 page limit before the catch-all is dated and archived), but I definitely think that it serves a good purpose. As this site has grown, it has obviously matured. Some of that is driven by the people who have grown up and moved on to a different time in their lives, some of it is driven by the image that this site reflects on the rest of the Internet. There is always other sites that people can move on to if they dont appreciate what ST has to offer, some people swear by WSI, and thats fine by me. Im here because I enjoy the banter and the people on the site, when I feel that has changed, I might not post as much, but I will always read.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 07:12 AM) I think we won a few series there in the last couple of years. I know its the first time they won consecutive games there since 2000. Honestly the only time I can remember the Sox coming close to taking a series was in 2005 when they had that crazy series where a bunch of people were ejected and Dye ended up playing shortstop.

I havent had problems with comcast, but I know people that have had many problems so I know what you are saying. I think the problem for you is that they are your only option because your mom doesnt want a dish, and AT&T isnt available where you are. My neighbor has WOW cable, but honestly I go nuts watching TV at his house, the interface is a total mess. To me it looks like you either suck up your pride and get comcast or go for the lesser service

Happy Birthday NUKE, hopefully many happily said naughty words come out of your mouth

Quentin looks like he is taking his game up a notch. the closer the Twins have gotten to the Sox, the more Quentin mashes. The guy is simply unreal this year. TCQ

This week in White Sox Retribution brought to you by Dick Allen's unwavering support Seriously, everyone who Dick defended earlier this year are making a good portion of us look dumb and impatient(myself included). Konerko seems to have found his stroke, Uribe is an amazing asset at third, the team looks like they are finally rebounding from a slow start out of the gate after the All Star game. 2 out of 3 aint bad, but it is kind of disappointing considering they could have swept. Time to do to the Mariners what the Twins did to them.

nice double entendre. there are other ways to get people to look at your threads without insinuating other things Tex

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 03:10 PM) It isn't based off of one friend. This is based off my experiences around him and friends who have been around him as well. I'll drop it though. There's no convincing Bears fans that Urlacher is nothing but a stand up, awesome, fun guy. Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Maybe Im not buying that he is a big douche because you have friends(plural) who have had experiences with him and your own experience which you havent even talked about? Maybe Im just saying that he likes to be a private guy who has had his private life put on blast by the Suntimes, which would make any nice guy an ass to say the least. Maybe im saying i dont know the guy personally, so im not going to judge him based on some 2nd hand accounts that arent even close to be substantiated.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 06:49 PM) Hey kyyle, you're gonna get this right? (PNSFW) I am now. Im really surprised that Nintendo is making a title like that, they usually shy away from heavy violence games with a lot of blood. QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) i got myself a wii yesterday, i'm pretty excited about mlb power pro's Hopefully the second wii version is a little harder than the first(the PS2 port). Its a fun game, but I thought it was ridiculously easy. I had everyone on my roster with 30+ homeruns after may, and 3 players with 40+ homeruns.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:43 PM) Danks truly is an ace in the making! He is getting out of jams and that is key of becoming a successful pitcher in this league. Alittle more offense would have been nice but a win is a win. Lets take tommororw and hope to get some help from the Mariners... A little more execution with runners on base is more like it. Just like always, the Sox have such a hard time getting runs across the plate in Oakland even when they get a lot of hits

Leo Mazzone's creepy laugh is driving me nuts. I dont think his partner is too fond of him either

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 12:43 AM) Ben Gordon says he's played his last game for the Bulls. I say good riddance, curse some other team with jacking up 20 random shots a game. I like how he says that he suffered the most after the Big Ben trade because the Bulls picked up guards and Gordons minutes were reduced, but fails to acknowledge that he was one of the reasons that trade needed to be made(ie. lack of production)

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 08:54 AM) I liked them, too. I thought they were pretty solid wrestlers. On the TNA thing, that was a bush league move by TNA showing him in some desperate attempt to make themselves seem more legitimate by f***ing over some mid-carder. At the same time, WTF was he thinking being at that taping anyways
