The Critic

HIGHLY f***in' doubt it. I'd be willing to bet my 30% of the inheritence ( ) that at some point your "financial help" will be requested. This smells like an Internet scam to me.

So if I go in there, do I yell out, "I'm from SOXTALK, where's my free beer, BEEEEEYOTCH"? It woule be easier to spot the members of our SoxTalk "community" if SOME people would get off their asses and design some T-SHIRTS.....not naming names, of course.... ....we wouldn't have to scream BEEEYOTCH in a place of business!!!

Tried to watch it, but the camera work was awful. Couldn't watch - bleccch....

shhh.....can you hear it?.....that cracking sound?...... ...it's the sound of a basketball team imploding.... Curry's another "little big man" ( get in the boat with Lazy Dazey ), Cryford is a selfish baby, Chandler's fragile, "E-ROB" ( do bench players with bloated contracts deserve nicknames? ) was a complete waste of money, etc etc etc... everything can change in the blink of an eye, everyONE can change in the blink of an eye, everyone can QUIT in the blink of an eye.... History In The Making - These Guys Are History

A rare laugher, but IMO this all but guarantees that the Jackets will pummel the Slacks on Saturday in Columbus, so the Slackeys can grab the "honor" of the longest road losing streak in franchise history. Even when they win, they lose....

But the Dodgers have to buy the scotch from one of Worst's distributors so that Drunken Andy Griffith can get the money AND the buzz!

YES!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Testes and Fassero in Coors??? Some OT at the baseball manufacturing plant!!! Rockies pitching

Opponents will tear through him like hot bats through butter....

She has a rich vocabulary and a wealth of knowledge of the language... Yeah, Steff, I'm CRACKIN' YOUR EGGS!!!!

A disgruntled, disillusioned White Sox employee??? GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!

It's always stressful around the SoxFest holidays.... Wrapping the SoxFest presents, decorating the charred remains of the burning bush which symbolizes the annual arrival of SoxFest, cooking the SoxFest Goose ( cuz the Sox' goose is cooked every year ), and so on - that'll stress ANYONE out!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe only "Mr. Excited", Max Kellerman, gets to decide who gets points and who gets muted on that show. I could very well be wrong, I'm not able to get through very much of that show when I happen across it. Kellerman is great as a boxing studio guy, but as a talk/game show host.....he's a great boxing studio guy.

Has it been there long? I lived in that area from 1992-2000 and I don't remember ever seeing a place called Bobby G's. Maybe it was called something else then?

The usual rambling of the professional windsock. Doesn't bother me. I'd expect nothing else from him. As usual, he takes grains of truth ( and there is a grain of truth in the gist of that column ) and blows them up into a hyperbolic hemorrhage of useless bluster. Have you ever seen him on that horrific mess called "Around The Horn"? I've never seen anyone so visibly pleased with his own self-perceived humor. That "ain't-I-somethin'?" look on his face is really grating. The one "joke" he should drop first? That stupid reference to USCF as "Whatever They're Calling Comiskey Park These Days". Hey, Jay, they've only changed the name ONCE.....hardly enough cause for that dumbass line you always use.

I think I'm going to wait til he gets a few major-league batters out before I break out any t-shirt money.

Uh oh....he wears #22....wonder if E6 is gonna give it up? Although Takatsu should wear 0, right?

And if you still hate him, you can always use the name against him, like so: "Mr. Zero....must refer to his number of interesting posts!" Something like that!

According to rotoworld: Diamondbacks signed outfielder Julio Ramirez to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. I have no smart-ass remark....they're all too easy....

http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/story/7024838 Shingo Takatsu, Japan's career saves leader, has agreed to a deal with the Chicago White Sox, the Associated Press learned Wednesday. THE BIG SOXFEST DEAL HAS BEEN STRUCK!!!!!

That may be a problem, Heather, but the bigger problem is this: ALL NINE of those teams have AT LEAST as many points as the SlackHawks have so far this year. Don't blame expansion for the sorry state of the West Side Hockey Club. Their demise is of their own doing, and they deserve every bit of the indifference they receive in this city. Their game reports barely make it ahead of the high school basketball scores in the Sun-Times! The ONLY time the Slacks are front-page news is when an alcoholic over-the-hill 12-step dwarf gets in a bar fight and the disorgan-I-zation covers the incident up for him, or when they fire someone. They are a sad pathetic joke, but no one's laughing....except the fans of the 26 teams who are better than them!

They really should come up with a similar phrase for women. It still strikes me as weird when I hear a woman say ( or even type, apparently ) "bust my balls". How about... "Crack my eggs"? "Twist my tubes"? Okay, all the other ones I'm coming up with are unfit for....anything, really...

....and that was enough for you to go all pink smiley on us??? Okay, Miss "Platonic Crush On Cotts" Girl....

I was most bothered by GW's continued use of the word "nucular". I heard "nucular" at least 7 times.

Steff, They said it was a "feel-good" story, not a "want to get a good feel" story....

I'd hate to be the guy who tries to make a case against Gagne. "Well......he BLEW THE SAVE at the All-Star Game!!!!" "He.....he.....he WEARS GLASSES!!! YEAH, and he's FAT TOO!!!"
