I think this is just a reaction to a superbly pitched ballgame yesterday.

Glad to hear he is back...

Welcome aboard, we're glad to have you with us!

I happen to like my new one.

I'll be there this Thursday.

Nice to have positive thoughts about Opening Day now after last year's disaster.

Thank you all.

This is a funny thing the U of L fans are kicking around in email, I thought it was pretty damn funny and hopefully the ILL fans can see the humor in it and not flame me for posting it: As a State fan, we're rooting for ya! Anyhow, here goes.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) i checked that one out and read a review on cnet and it seems pretty poor from what they have said, if i were you i would try to check out some other brands possibly viewsonic as well; with plasma there are other issues too such as higher power usage as a result of the plasma and as well as images "burnt" onto the screen I didn't see a review for the 30 inch on CNET, just the 26.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) Let's make this simple for the Burke detractors. If he holds onto the ball on the Hunter play & Hunter is called out he's the backup C. What we've learned in the first season of OZ is that OZ never forgets. If he sees a play which paints you as weak or gutless in his opinion it stays with him. He never looks at you the same way again. I have no doubt in my mind that this play had little if anything to do with the decision to send Burke to AAA. This statement is based on assumptions you are making and has no facts to back it up whatsoever. Basically what you just said is that if a particular player makes a bad play in the eyes of Ozzie, he holds that against the player for good, which I don't believe for one second. Sorry but this was just a ridiculous statement to make.

I guess you'd need to define elite, if we are talking top 10 programs in the country, no I would not list them there....yet.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 11:08 AM) aboz, I don't know a ton about LCD's other than a friend of mine had a big asses Sony and it was the best TV I have ever seen. He sold it and bought a 42" plasma, which is nice and much smaller in terms of space, but not nearly the TV. Look at the resolution of the TV's. I don't think all LCD's are equal in that regard, but I could be wrong. Also, if you have a bit more space, you might look at some of the new DLP's. I hear they are more economical, yet as good according to some people. Let me know what you end up doing and how you like it. I may be looking for one in the 26" range within the next six months. I was thinking Plasma, but I've heard they don't last as long. I will keep you posted, I really like the price and specs on this 30" Dell, but unless I can see the TV live, I am hesitant to pull the trigger on it. http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/p...s=19&l=en&s=dhs

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) Elarton and Lee above Loshe? Juan Gone even with Jacque? He lost all credibility on that part. Jacque Jones is so much better at this point in career than Juan Gonzalez it's not even close. Juan will be lucky to play more than 70 games.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:59 AM) For my money I really like Samsung... Any particular reason?

Too bad they have no staff. Expert my ass. I'd take Silva over Westbrook any day of the week, Westbrook had a fluke year last year. I'd also take Lohse and Mays over Elarton any day. This guy is a clueless moron.

I would've rather seen Burke, but hell, thats why they pay Ozwaldo and KW to make the decisions I suppose.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:53 AM) If you have the money for a Dell I would do it, if you have to finance I wouldn't. Dell is the worst company I have ever dealt with, bar none. Their customer service is all out sourced to India, and no one makes any sense. They are a nightmare to deal with. I'm not going to finance it, I am just wondering about the quality on their TVs compared to brands like Sony, Sharp, Toshiba, etc.

Crede could be on a shorter leash this year, especially if they feel good putting Ozuna at third at times and he continues swinging a hot bat.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:37 AM) Jesus, how can you be the #1 team in the country all year long and have the #117th class, even with all of the graduations and NBA jumps that are going to happen after this season? Weber must not be very hot on the recruiting trail. Who knows though, these 3 guys could turn into great players, its so tough to tell with some of these kids coming out. With the right coaching and situation, they could become all-americans. Look at Louisville, Dean and Garcia weren't McDonald's All-Americans, neither were Ellis Myles or Larry O'Bannon. Hell O'Bannon begged Pitino for a scholarship and look where all of these guys are now. These rankings are nice to look at, but they can also be misleading, especially when you are going to play for a great coach like Weber.

I am beginning to research LCD Tv's and am looking for input as to what one should look for when deciding on one. I have seen a lot about the Dell TV's, some good, some bad, but it's hard to make a decision on one of those without even getting to see the picture. I am looking to get one in the 30 to 32 inch that is wall mountable for my room. I know there are a few Soxtalkers out there who know something about LCD TVs, so I am enlisting your help. Just some information to guide my search or feedback on any specific LCD TV would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 12:08 AM) On a sidenote, I'll be internetless until Sunday night so if anything happens just shoot an email to any of the admins and mods. Hell, they do all the work around here anyway You got that right....

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 10:58 PM) They're poorly rated on just about every reputable site too. Bottom line is, Clark Francis is just about at every damn tournament there is. And you are right, they are poorly rated on a lot of sites. The fact that the guy has been doing Hoop Scoop since the 80's and has a fairly large subscription base speaks to the fact that he does a decent job. He may not be right on a lot of things, but like I said, his site has a lot of good information to sift through. It's not like I pay for it anyhow.
