Nice job Thome. Helluva hustle.

Main reason I'm complaining is that we have Sunday special lineup components (Widger, Ozuna) in a series we haven't won. Need to win this game and head home on a strong note. Nonetheless, we're still going to take this. By the way, it was great to hear Dave Wills on the Tampa Bay call on XM radio last night. Sure wish we could have nabbed him for our PBP guy.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 18, 2006 -> 06:27 PM) Can anyone tell me how to design a skin? And where's the Die banner gone? The banners are different depending on which skin you are using. For the Default skin, which is the blue, it's Dye. For the one Heads just rolled out, it's Vazquez.

Great quote from Elliott today:

QUOTE(JimH @ May 18, 2006 -> 06:08 PM) Not with the lefthander going Alex, I'm thinking Tampa has a lefty going tonite. Good I forgot about that.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 18, 2006 -> 06:06 PM) No wind in the dome makes fly balls easier to Pablo. Pablo is the man. He is the man, but he's not a good outfielder.

Ozuna shouldn't play the outfield. I'd rather see Gload out there than him.

QUOTE(daa84 @ May 18, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) if you make it even for crede, then you have to at least give cedeno even as well.... Everything is up for debate, I'm just glad you guys aren't trashing me like you do Kotex Boy.

One problem I see is that when I do an add reply or a new topic the size of the screen makes it to where I need to scroll horizontally where on the other skins I don't have to. Anyone notice that?

QUOTE(Steff @ May 18, 2006 -> 05:44 PM) Something good must have been going on in his life about that time... :rolly You're bad.

Great, s***ty ass lineup.

I'd take the bet and I love Joe Crede.

Good to see your lazy ass is still good for something.

Last time I checked, they still have 16 more games against us. And so far they are 0-3. To be the champion, you've got to beat the champion.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ May 18, 2006 -> 02:12 PM) Elliot seems like the nicest guy out of all the AI contestants since the show started. He just seems like a genuinely cool guy. No stage presence at all, but still a cool guy. I agree about Katharine. Her reply to Ryan about who that guy was who went up to her at her homecoming was really arrogant sounding. Plus she looked at Randy and Paula funny when they didn't like her last performance. And I want her Mom to sit the hell down. I think Taylor's going to win, but I really see Chris as the best talent on the show this year. Listening back to his Suspicious Minds performance from his last show, I thought that was one of the stronger performances of the whole season, it's just too bad his second performance that show wasn't as great or I have no doubt he'd still be in.

Very cool. Also glad to see she for her sake doesn't look too much like you. HAHA. Just kidding.

Now that Elliott is gone, I'm going to do the unthinkable and cheer for Taylor. IMO Katharine is has let all of this get to her head and hasn't taken any criticism well the past few weeks. Plus I will admit Taylor was awesome this past week. Dancing in the Dark was badass. Also, thought it was awesome the reception they gave Elliott back in Virginia. Of all of the return trips, I thought Elliott enjoyed his the most and he was just geniunely happy to be on the show to begin with. Probably my favorite contestant ever on the show.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 18, 2006 -> 11:42 AM) Meh. He did the right thing. It'd be even a bigger deal if he said no comment or bashed him. Yeah, he did the right thing. We all know what he probably thinks.

Mariotti could write decent stuff the rest of his career and he's still a jackass. Please don't refer to Kotex Boy as god ever again. Also, what's with posting any of this Cubs crap? We're world champs, why are we even talking about them, their fans or what is going on there?

Wow, anyone who defends this bum I have to jump on. I think it's funny he is even defending himself saying he doesn't need to take roids. No one said you did, but now people may start to talk about it since you brought it up yourself.

No reason to chant anything towards the Cubs. Just beat them and keep our mouth shuts. Act like we've done something, since we are World Champs.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 18, 2006 -> 10:03 AM) On paper it looks nice, but the stats go out the window for Sox/Cubs. The most dangerous team is a slumping team, because at some point, they WILL come out of it. The Cubs and Zambrano have looked like just maybe they're coming out of it, or at least have looked better this week. Mark, Jon and parts of our pen have looked kinda vulnerable lately at times. (I realize Jon's not pitching this series) I'd feel better if it was Vazquez, Garcia and Contreras. I never get too cocky about a Sox/Cubs series. Sunday's match up should be a good one. If Thome goes yard off Zambrano, this whole city will hear me cheer. Yeap, exactly right. That's why I said it'll all mean nothing unless the Sox come out and take care of business.

I believe this is already posted on the FutureSox board. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49981

Glad to see some discussion on this. On the breakdowns, I tried to look at things from an even perspective and tried not to show much bias. What I came out with was fair to both teams IMO.
