Living in the early 1st millenium Rome would have been quite scary for many commoners as well.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 03:43 PM) That would have been terrible! I would have been such a hermit back then ...I would have been in my home trying to invent hand sanitizer and bug spray!! The problem is that no, you wouldnt, and that's why it was so bad. You would have a family that needed tending to, land that needed work, and good that needed to be purchased from the market. The thought of diseases being communicable was not fully understood. (Hell, some towns burned and/or banished Jews because they thought they were the cause). And with the lack of sanitary conditions then, even hypothetically locking yourself away would not have worked. Rats were ever prevalent and the fleas they carried would find you. Avoiding contact with the infected was virtually impossible unless you were massively wealthy or royalty.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) How about during the Bubonic Plague? It killed 1/3 of the population of Europe in the 14th century. Wiki I was actually just about to say that.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 03:00 PM) You guys are so old! lol. Funny you quote a college student when you say that...

Spain completely dominating this game too. If the Swiss hold on it would be one of the most outplayed wins in quite a while

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 04:10 AM) HoT FiRe What?

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) Am I the only one who's really concerned about Dayan's lack of walks? He doesn't strike out at an alarming rate though, especially considering his power potential. Remember how young he still is too. And it just seems that Cubans are fairly free swingers. I'm not too concerned.

Christiano Ronaldo is such a little b****

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 06:53 PM) The 360 is better than the PS3 will ever be.. bluray can suck a dick, I have a bluray player for that.. This is one of the most absurd comments in the history of Soxtalk.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 04:11 PM) Right. So now it's ALMOST as good as the PS3? Wait, not even close! You have the free online service, the bluray capability, and the whole RROD thing that they still havent' fixed, then add to that the fact that the 360 is graphically maxed right now while the PS3s graphical capabilities haven't even been remotely tapped. Keep trying. Winner. As for E3...i'm really hoping Blizzard makes some announcement about D3.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 04:36 PM) I'm one of those guys who reads live feed reports and is always spoiled by nominees and vetos. Don't care. The 3 hours on CBS don't show or mention the good stuff. The Big Brother After Dark on Showtime is ok but you have no choice which feed you want to watch and it is sometimes boring. Last year, there were so many good fights. LOL i read the live feed updates too. I stop when they do nominations and veto though. I like seeing it on tv.

I also love watching Manny play. You never know what he's going to do.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 04:10 PM) Thought I was the only one here who religiously watched Big Brother every summer. Ha True Blood premiere was good. Love Big Brother. Only reality show I watch other than Amazing Race

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:53 PM) In no particular order: Cano, Crawford, Ichiro, Fielder, Pujols, Mauer, and Longoria. Forgot about him. Completely agree.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:26 PM) And you could be right BLAZE, Italy in a bit of trouble at HT. Italy is old. How awesome would it be if Giuseppe Rossi had decided to play for the US? Talk about a talent we could have used. Same for that Serbian defender.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:24 PM) Since there's no Sox game today, I was thinking about which performers in baseball do I keep the channel on when I'm flipping back and forth thanks to the Extra Innings Package. I would have to say that my top 10 are: 10. J. Heyward 9. P. Fielder 8. J. Hamilton 7. S. Santos 6. T. Lincecum 5. C. Blackwood 4. M. Cabrera 3. A. Pujols 2. J. Broxton 1. S. Strasburg What about you guys? I'd add Carl Crawford and Hanely Ramirez. And Ubaldo. I also love to watch Chase Utley play. Mike Stanton might start go get talked about too pretty soon.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 01:53 PM) Because all that matters is that Obama did it.

Watched the US match at a bar in NYC. Incredible atmosphere. Bar erupted when that goal went in, USA chants started every time Howard made a save in the second half. I really wish the game Friday was an afternoon game so I could go down again. It was definitely a lucky goal, but I thought it was a fair result. The US had some chances and didn't look outclassed. But Jose Torres had to be in that game in the second half. I dont know what Bradley was doing there.

Thought this was funny, from the ESPN chat transcript: Pardon the interruption but too funny not to post: Pizza Hut will be offering Irish customers free pizza for every goal scored against the French today.

What a strike. Rolling ball, cross body, almost full sprint, upper 90 far corner. Beautiful goal.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 11:16 AM) Sucks to be DePaul Ship them to C-USA and invite Memphis.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 12:14 AM) A 20-team Big East?? Their basketball tournament is already awful, with that many teams, it might be tougher than the actual tourney. That would be a b**** for regular season scheduling too. Awful? As in tough to win? Cuz i think it's the best conference tourney there is. Often you have multiple legit championship threats and its at MSG. Doesnt get much better, but of course as a UConn fan I'll admit i'm biased.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 07:42 PM) Newest rumor is Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and Mizzou to the Big East. Holy s***. There'd be no more doubt about who the best basketball conference would be.
