QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) DKnobler @DKnobler Red Sox say Tim Wakefield will announce retirement today That's too bad. I enjoyed seeing him floating that knuckleball towards the plate every year

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 16, 2012 -> 07:05 AM) Any tips on how to break dog of jumping on people? I have tried water bottle, ignoring him when he does it, etc. He will be 2 in May so I am starting to hope he just grows out of it. People think he is attacking them at first and all he wants is attention. Not biting or anything. Have someone enter the house. When the dig goes to greet them and jumps on them have that person stop and stay still and not acknowledge the dog. You need to tell the dog no and make him go down or shoo him away. Have the person go back outside and re-enter a few moments later. What your doing is teaching the dog to greet someone in a calm and "respectful" manner. When the dog finally realizes this reward him and allow him to be pet by the "guest". Eventually they will learn. But it takes some time

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 12:41 PM) I wonder if the people who purchased a Knicks Lin jersey will be able to exchange them for the Erie Bay Hawks jersey he'll be rocking in 3-4 weeks. Or maybe give them a coupon for buy one get one 1/2 price small popcorn at Madison Square Garden. Based on what?

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 10:58 AM) Other than the Metrodome (where I could see a few Cubs games scheduled) are there any Major League parks standing in cities where new stadiums were built? Old Tiger stadium still standing?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 08:52 AM) Coach D'Antoni @Coach_D_Antoni Floyd Mayweather thinks Jeremy Lin is overrated, which is funny because Jeremy Lin has managed to be undefeated without ducking anybody. That's actually awesome

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 12:46 AM) Wow, heck of a box score. I'm tempted to watch that to see how that's possible. 12-14 from 3?! That's a very weird box score. SIU didnt turn the ball over, took 50% more shots (with a 50% FG%), shot well from 3, only had 6 turnovers and lost by 20

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 09:34 PM) I enjoy Walking Dead. Never read the comic. I never read it either and have been enjoying it but I am losing patience with it. Laurie is so damn annoying that it's becoming hard to watch any scene with her in it. And they need to leave that farm. I want to see how the group fares surviving in this world surrounded by the walkers. Not how they survive by themselves on a farm. Story line has got to start moving along or I may stop watching soon. Last episode had a good first 3 minutes and a great last 10. Everything in the middle was pointless time fillers

QUOTE (YASNY @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) A small minority of idiots? Remember, you are talking about Cub fans. Cubs fans are the small minority of idiots. The rest are just people who choose to go to Wrigley field in Cubs attire.

Did the Sox make any money off the Marlins game here several years ago?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 09:36 AM) How much minor-league WAR would he have to put up to be worth $20 million? Ask the Royals

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) How can you leave the Blue Jays out of this? AA is worth at least 3 WS titles alone in that time frame

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 10:23 AM) Just general banter here-- I'm not going to just default to putting this down. Get talented people, get creative. That line of thinking worked with Sergio Santos and increased his value dramatically over a short period of time. This is more of a reach than that, but I'm not opposed to low risk-anything Guy threw 90 after not pitching in 6 years. This has zero risk at all. He's only 23 and is obviously an athletic individual. Criticizing is just criticizing for the sake of doing it.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 08:56 AM) Another signing you'd expect from Kansas City. No wonder interest is at lows I have never experienced. Yeah because guys like Sergio Santos and Nestor Molina never happen

Ivory Coast and Zambia advance to the 2012 AFCON Final. Really quite a story with Zambia. Final will be played at the place where their team tragedy occurred 20 years ago or so. And Ivory Coats finally has a chance to win something with this generation of stars they have

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) I actually wish the Bears would sign whichever of the Chiefs they don't franchise. If it's Bowe or Carr, so be it. Both are tremendous players that fill areas of need. And I went to school with Carr. As a Chiefs fan, I really don't see either of them being gone. But if one is, I hope you end up with Bowe. I think he's much more replaceable than Carr. Carr (and Flowers for that matter) are extremely underrated CBs that don't get the recognition that they deserve. Even in a down year, if they can retain him they have a secondary (with Berry too) that could be outstanding for the next several years

This year's season of The Franchise is supposedly going to follow the Marlins. And I'm probably going to watch it

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 08:46 AM) I want Bowe badly...he and Cutler will be every bit as good a tandem as Cutler and Marshall back in Denver. I don't have any desire whatsoever to sign Manningham...he's just too inconsistent. So is Bowe. Drops too many passes and takes plays off. Also doesn't like going over the middle. He's a great talent, but he can also be frustrating.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 11:38 PM) Good chance Bowe is available too. The Chiefs have to choose between him and Brandon Carr for the franchise tag. KC will probably franchise Carr but the best bet is still on Bowe returning to KC. They had contract discussions throughout the season and Bowe has stated that he would prefer to remain there. Doesn't mean it would happen, and I kind of want him gone anyways, but at this point I think there's a pretty decent chance he stays with the Chiefs

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 10:53 PM) This is a White Sox message board. If you want to talk NFL without reading Bears posts, I'm sure there's a Seahawks message board. Oh it is? Thanks for the info. Just figured it'd be easier since 75% of the posts in here are related to one specific topic. And it's not like we never break out anything else from the TV/Movies thread into their own threads. Oh wait...

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) Wow. That just screams cover up.

Can we have a Bears thread in addition to an NFL thread? It's tough for people who aren't Bears fans to weed through 75% of posts related to them, especially once the season gets closer to beginning

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) Sox need the General Manager to have a bounce back decade. hahahaha Yeah the last decade was the worst!
