QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 08:08 PM) I love Doug Eddings. That 2-2 non-call on Thome was a filthy pitch. He should of been rung up.

Jackson living on the edge, time to push him over a bit.

I can almost tell how this game is gonna go, hope I am wrong.

Don't blame Cox for holding Jr, but damn, that throw was off line and he probably would of been safe.

Horrible out, Nick.

QUOTE (premo @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 07:39 PM) did CQ make that throw home? sorry all ive got is gamecast Yep. Wasn't in the air but he threw it hard enough where it rolled to AJ in plenty of time.

Defense, baby!

What an athletic play by Danks.

Doug Eddings!

This is Q's first year of actually producing. Hopefully he continues to produce for years and is on next years list.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) Haven't heard his name much this offseason, so I am not sure how much impact he'll have this season. It's a new coaching staff so you never know in terms of playing time until the season starts. Not redshirting him was a big mistake in retrospect because four of the top receivers on the team are seniors and it'd be nice to have him back for 2009 and 2010 after all those guys are gone. Another problem for Lewis is the aforementioned Me'co Brown, as well as a true freshman from St. Louis named Tommy Davis, might see some time in the slot this year because they both have great speed. Yeah, didn't he have like 2 catches his freshmen year? I heard he has had a lot of attitude problems as well. We went to my alma mater so I was curious.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 03:23 PM) I am just going to throw out a name here: Me'co Brown. He's a true freshman running back on NIU from Mississippi, and friends of mine on the football team say he's a dead ringer for Garrett Wolfe when you watch him play in practice and scrimmages. Might be the next great NIU running back, and he's expected to be the punt and kick returner right away, as well as see some time on offense. Is Marcus Lewis gonna ever do anything for the Huskies?

Gaudin looking good.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 04:18 PM) Huh? Do you remember who he even is? Choi never had great value, he straight up stole DLEE, and it was a GREAT move. Choi supposedly had a lot of upside and was touted. Hendry would never have gotten anything for him if he waited another year, hence he sold high on him.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 04:07 PM) I would never boo the Cup, but I'd certainly boo Cheap Shot Chelios. I love the Wings but I can't stomach that tool. You're a Red Wings fan, but it was arrogant and garbage to bring the Stanley Cup, that Detroit won, to Chicago to show it off like we would embrace it.

I was at a Cubs/Sox game a few years ago when Chelios was there with the Stanley Cup and the majority of fans boo'd him and rightfully so since we hate Detroit. Wonder if the boo'd it again today.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 03:52 PM) I just saw that on yahoo...funny stuff. How far was it? A bomb halfway up in right center. Willie looks a tad bigger this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 03:48 PM) Guaranteed...I've hardly watched any Cubs games over the past month. You just missed a Willie Harris Grand Slam to put the Nationals up. Hilarious.

Should of contracted the Expos when the had the chance. Do the Nationals even have any minor league prospects that are touted? I'm still up in the air on Zimmerman.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 02:17 PM) DLEE for Choi Hendry sold high on Choi and Gallagher and worked big time for them.

Alright, here we go. I didn't think "Tropic Thunder" was as bad as a lot of people say. I laughed a few times and was entertained. It wasn't as great as some critics say. McConaghey was awesome and RDJr. It's one of those movies I watched, liked, but won't buy or watch again. The part I laughed the most at, was when McConaghey tells Stiller that he is lucky that he gets to pick his son. Than pans to the photo of him with the cheesy smile next to his son. I have no idea why I found it so hilarious, but it took me like a minute to settle down. Also, like 4 people walked out in the middle of it. I think that is stupid. You pay $7 a piece to see a movie than leave in the middle of it. I have paid to see some stinkers and stuck around for the whole thing so I don't feel jipped.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 10:48 AM) DSL just isnt as good as cable, its fine for some people, but its just not in the same league. Having went from cable to DSL, I don't personally see a big difference. Video still plays smooth and everything. Like I said, only thing I don't like is that it slows down when someone is on the house phone, but that is why we have cell phones.

I'm sure Manu would of helped, but he wasn't exactly playing great before he went down. Had a couple of fouls on him and wasn't finishing or scoring.

Watching the game online, is it wrong that I like it without the commentary? US has to be dominating the boards. Would be nice if they could make more free throws. ARG gets nothing close to the basket.
