Well even though 'wrong is wrong'....as long as the ramifications arent endangering or hurting anyone around you...go for it, you only live once

Preliminary votes are in....Scheyer to Duke "According to various sources on TheDevilsDen.Com"... Let the meltdown begin...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2005 -> 08:29 AM) Isn't Oden pretty sold on IU? Last I had heard Oden is heavily favoring OSU...Hes also looking at Wake Forest and Indiana. For some reason hes kinda following Conley around waiting to see what he is goin to do even though Oden is the #1 guy in the class. There is also a chance he could jump to the NBA but both him and his 'camp' continue to guarantee he will attend college. IU has a shot at him but alot depends on where/when Conley picks a school, what kind of violations OSU gets ruled on them come July. Also if some other school starts goin hard at him (I've heard rumors of UNC and MSU increasing their interest level), it could hurt IU's chances even more. Notice that I never mentioned Illinois once yet there are still a number of orange kool-aid drinkers thinking hes coming here

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 17, 2005 -> 12:43 AM) Anyone think that the Illini's shot for Oden and Conley just went up with Ohio State possibly facing more self-sanctions and more probabtion time as there were 9 more violations NCAA investigators found against the basketball program including money given to players? Conley - 5% chance of coming here Oden - 0.05% chance of coming here So nope I dont see a change...

I think the new E3 looks pretty darn cool...I'm gonna have to get one solely for the aesthetic pleasure it provides

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2005 -> 07:48 AM) Don't both getting upset... it is sooooooo not worth it. Yes I know, common sense is one of my strong points

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ May 17, 2005 -> 07:25 AM) heres what id do send timo down and bring up anderson send walker and cotts down and bring up adkins and Bmac Do we really have to start the BMac in middle relief discussion again?? Timo has a guaranteed contract...he would have to clear waivers and probably won't so that wouldnt happen... And your gonna replace two LHP's with two rightys? Should I even be getting upset or should i just shut up?

Am I the only one who doesnt want to bring back players like Michael Ruffin and Donyell Marshall from the Forget-a-bulls era???

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ May 17, 2005 -> 07:17 AM) After the Mench homerun that almost hit me in thehead, I felt it was over...eternally pessimisstic...what can I say? Tsk Tsk Tsk...I was there to the oh soooo bitter end... And I'm heading back out tonight I really felt like we had a good chance to tie that game in the ninth. It had that kinda feel to it...But I guess I was wrong...Although seeing Tadahito's AB one of the better I had seen in a long time, was well, AMAZING!

QUOTE(Steff @ May 16, 2005 -> 01:15 PM) They are. Playing the Rays. C'mon Steff...that was a rhetorical question if I've EVER read one...

QUOTE(Spiff @ May 16, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) no laugh track Ahh...he answered for me! Couldnt say it better myself

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 16, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) As if horses weren't lucky enough to be.....well 'horses'. http://msn.foxsports.com/horseracing/story/3618790 This board is called the "FutureSox" Board...Maybe I could cut you some slack if it was called "Down on the Farm" but still... WE ARE WAYYYYY OFF TOPIC!!!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:44 AM) To bad Gload is hurt or we could bench Konerko here and there. I agree..Gload at least is a more viable alternative. However, his injury sounds very odd...Inflamed Shoulder, unable to throw and barely able to swing a bat, he could be on the shelf for a long time. We really dont have any insurance policies at first base right now so Paulie has no choice but to step it up.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:26 AM) I dont know why you put that in Green. I have just about had enough of Pauly and his "new" stance and the plate. He is in a contract year, and cannot make contact with the ball. Something is wrong with him, and if I was KW, I would be either shopping him around, or definately NOT working on signing him. Paul's approach at the plate is not only worrisome, but lacks true commitment to the way this team is trying to play baseball. K's and dp's do not fit into our offensive approach. I would be fine if he did not see the field in the next few games. I think it would be fine to bench him for a game...but Chris Widger as our everyday first baseman? Thats comical

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:35 AM) Ideally, they'd open the park 10 mins. before batting practice starts, have the Sox take BP 1st, then have them stretch, sprint and sign autographs while the visiting team takes BP. Which owner was it that it MANDATORY for his entire team to sign autographs before every home game last year? Was it the Rangers?

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ May 15, 2005 -> 06:50 PM) I thought Kingdom of Heaven was bad.... Yup...VERY disappointing As for Crash-put me in the 'heard it was good, went to see it last weekend club"

QUOTE(Steff @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) LMAO.. I'll get right on that. Think they will listen to me.. ? ( ) I'm not sure! Sorry...had to do it

QUOTE(Steff @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) I would think they would welcome the option of people eating and drinking in the park for another hour.. Wouldn't stop me from tailgating on the weekends.. and we would likely get there earlier on weekdays if we could get in the park. I agree...at least on saturday and sunday the gates should open earlier...make it happen And I better include Mr: as he has made an appearance in each of our last four posts.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:12 AM) My solution. Bench Paul Konerko. Everett's at least getting his RBI's each game. PK gets them one game of the week in a bunch and you don't hear about him til the following week. Bench his ass and have Widger play 1st. Here let me fix that for you: My solution. Bench Paul Konerko. Everett's at least getting his RBI's each game. PK gets them one game of the week in a bunch and you don't hear about him til the following week. Bench his ass and have Widger play 1st. Ok carry on

QUOTE(Steff @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) Yea.. now that I am thinking about it.. I remember getting there right from work downtown in '96 and '97 and watching them. Maybe it would be something they would reconsider doing if there was fan request for it. I think the gates opening 1 1/2 hours b4 game time coincided with them allowing tailgating in the parking lots. I guess they figured people can spend that time outside tailgaiting instead of being inside the park for that extra half hour...I could be wrong

QUOTE(Steff @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:04 AM) Did they used to open the gates eariler than an hour and a half before the game started also? I think they used to open 2 hrs before the game prior to 1998

QUOTE(The Critic @ May 16, 2005 -> 02:17 AM) You know, I wanted to be able to get into Arrested Development, just because I've seen so many people talk about how much they like it, but I just don't enjoy it. Something about the pace of the show or something, I don't know what it is, but I'm just bored by it. Never saw Jack & Bobby. So yeah, you might be the only one who did... Ok...I had the same thought about Arrested Development until I watched the DVD of the first season. The pace of the show is off-beat but in line with the comedy...I really enjoyed the DVD and now am a huge fan of the show. and btw...what channel is Jack & Bobby on and wtf is it?
