QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:41 AM) Is it me or does it really not appear that his hand is not even on her?

I find it funny we're now talking about keeping Uribe around for next year when most of this board wanted him gone for a bag of baseballs not too long ago.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 10:03 PM) So I'm going to college in a few hours. Yeah. Odd. I miss college. I may go up to visit for a night during rush in a couple weeks, but i definitely miss the whole no responsibility, do whatever you want when you want, drink 5 nights a week atmosphere that college was haha

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) Well I had a fun weekend. Basically I was up with 20 people in upstate NY and we rented this huge house for the weekend, only cost about $90 to rent for each person. It had a hot tub and a huge outdoor patio area. Basically one of the guys got absolutely wasted. He dove into the hot tub about 20 times on the Friday Night (with about 10 people already in there), and then he leant againt the railing on the patio and proceeded to fall off and onto the grass about a story below. I don't know how he didn't hurt himself more seriously, but he proceed to come running back up the stairs and jumped back into the hot tub. Later on he started calling himself the Calcium Kid, and poured about a gallon milk all over himself, wearing nothing but one of the girls' underwear. Oh and Svedka Vodka is one of the best I've ever had. Where were you upstate? I was actually downstate visiting friends. Ended up playing beer pong at 5 am when we got back from the bar...that was a horrible idea.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 07:10 AM) SOS is somewhat deceiving. Here are the remaining opponents still in the playoff hunt: Sox - 3 vs TB, 3 at BOS, 3 vs LAA, 4 at NYY, 3 at MIN = 16 games MIN - 4 at LAA, 4 at TB, 3 vs CHI = 11 games The fact that they have 7 games AT LAA/TB and we only have 6 and at home could end up being huge.

I think i read in the recap this is our first series win in Oakland in 7 or 8 years

Goin into NYC tomorrow night for a friends bday party ($45 all you can drink top shelf liquor with the rooftop section reserved for us). I believe its in the Village (E. 29th St by Park ave). But im thinkin about hittin up the Bronx zoo in the afternoon. Ive gone into the city countless times and have never bothered checking it out. Anyone ever been to it?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 10:54 AM) English, Irish, German, Polish though i'm about to play an Arab kid in a show. and i can also look hispanic. and i can also look italian. and almost jewish. Must be the Irish in you

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:00 PM) Giambi 2000. ^^^

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 08:30 AM) I read somewhere that, if they were revising the list to take into account the first half of the season, that Chris Getz was even getting some consideration for #1 and definitely #2 prospect in the system. In some ways, that's a little depressing, because many don't project him to be much more than a good utility player in the majors, but it shows how far and consistently his stock has risen as a prospect since signing. I find that really hard to believe

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 09:59 AM) Does anyone know if it can be arranged that they play on same AFL team? Teams are allowed to send 5-6 guys usually and they are assigned to the same team along with the guys from 4 or 5 other orgs too

25% German, Slovak and Polish and 12.5% English and Scottish

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 01:43 AM) Wow, Cuba stands a lead off triple in the top of the 10th inning. USA has a chance to win it in the bottom before it goes to wacky rules. Talk about another crazy injury; the US batter fouled a bunt off his face and was bleeding pretty bad. Cuba beats the US 5-4. How stupid are those extra inning rules? Never had heard of that before this. Ridiculous

Jose Valentin's moustache made my list

I almost put Joe on my list but decided not to at the last minute. Also, just wanted to point out that that stat line of his in the WS looks good on paper, but is kind of misleading to how he performed in the series. Just sayin.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 05:13 AM) It seems to change a lot, last year it was Phoenix and the year before that it was Scottsdale. I'm gonna be in Lake Havasu for a week in November...anyone who lives out that way know if Scottsdale or Phoenix are within driving distance from there?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 03:46 PM) I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about Lance's performance today. Great job Broadway. The results were obviously good, but how did he look?

Wow people update wikipedia fast

QUOTE (hawksox13 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 03:29 PM) Boston did it off the Yankees last season in Boston I believe. Has anyone ever hit 5+?

I say Quentin should also come out of this game for Wise and wouldnt mind seeing a Royal get plunked, seeing as how CQ got hit again

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 03:25 PM) WOW. When was the last time the Sox hit FOUR HR in a row? Wow, Toby wanted a HR there so badly he swung at a pitch nearly at his head, LOL. When was the last time ANYONE hit 4 in a row? I'm sure its been within the past few years but i just cant remember

Ya this isnt really new, i remember my history professor talking about him in a senior seminar on baseball and the outside world class a couple years back. Interesting nonetheless however.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:07 AM) I think the WBC is part of the reason it has no spot in the Olympics. In pretty much every other sport, the Olympics is the whole shebang. Thats what its all about, thats the ultimate challenge. Haha, this Japanese guy was forced to wait to do his pommel horse routine. If he loses, the Karolyi's should blame the officials. You cant use the WBC as a reason without mentioning soccer then. Comapred to the World Cup, the Olympics isnt nearly as big of a deal. I'd aruge the same with Tennis. I dont agree with baseball being dropped and the reason is b/c there are a lot of countries that play. I dont know how qualification is done so I dont know why there are 8 teams. Maybe that is how it was set up, but between Asia and the western hemisphere there are many more than 8 teams that play the game.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 05:24 PM) 3 way deal done today... CLE gets: Mo Williams (MIL) OKC gets: Joe Smith (CLE), Desmond Mason (MIL) MIL gets: Damon Jones (CLE), Luke Ridnour (OKC), Adrian Griffin (OKC) What the hell is OKC doing? They already have Durant/Green/Wilkins/Gelebale/Weaver to play the 2/3 positions and Collison/Wilcox/Green/White at the 4. Not that Ridnour was worth anything with Westbrook/Watson at 1 but this just doesnt make any sense except clogging up their 2-3-4 positions even more
