QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:53 AM) Let me give you an example. I have a very good friend who plays in the NHL. To most, he's a guy that people might not like, but he'll always be a favorite of mine, one because of the friendship I have with him and two because I personally see how he treats people off the playing field (or in this case, rink). No one might consider this guy a favorite, and Heads considers BA a favorite, because he's pulling for the underdog, or however you want to say it. HORDI!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:47 AM) But that's just it, there's no reasoning behind it. For BA to be #2 on any list of favorite players (and I know favorite), just show's lack of judgement. With no back story, which there is none, BA could not have proven in his very sporadic playing time enough to be #2 on anyone's list. It just shows a complete lack of fandom. WHat a ridiculous, retarded statement. There doesnt have to be any reasoning behind it. He's one of his favorite players becuase he is. Simple as that. I dont get some of you guys, it is not about performance, it is about who is your favorite...for whatever reason. Over in the SLAM forum someone made a post last week being glad Schlitz and PBR are making a comeback or something like that. Personally, i couldnt care less and hate those beers. But you know what, if someone says that is their FAVORITE beer, who the hell am i to judge them and demand reasoning. I guess i should just tell them they lack judgement b/c they have a different kind of favorite than i do. Ridiculous...

I just gotta add, that down 2 runs and only 1 out you do NOT send Thome to make the second out at the plate that inning. That is bad base coaching.

Gonna be honest, i've never heard of this guy before right now

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 6, 2008 -> 02:22 AM) Some rookie SP Waters from Baltimore shut out LAA in 8 innings today. Where's our Waters?

He's killing me in my fantasy league right now tho haha But as long as its against the Twins, i'll take it

QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 6, 2008 -> 10:17 AM) Couldn't agree more. Games threads are generally no longer enjoyable. ^^^^^^^

Since there isnt one yet and they have technically started (women's soccer today, men's tomorrow) I figured i'd start this. Norway leads the US women 2-0 in the second half by the way.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 05:40 PM) I bet it won't be close. Bonds may be third behind Mays and McCovey. Christy Mathewson may have some pull there too. As for the White Sox, the fans voted: 1) Thomas 2) Fox 3) Fisk BBTN voted: 1) Thomas 2) Appling 3) Fox

Jason Giambi Derek Jeter Anyone on the Twins roster not named Adam Everett

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 02:57 PM) Yes! When Socom and Socom II were out, me and buddies would stay up til 3am to play online together. That was fun. I did NOT like Socom 3 at all and than is when we started playing. We went back to Socom II a bit but there were so many cheaters. Not nearly as many as the first one, but a lot. Socom 1 pre-cheaters > all the other socoms Seriously, i was in the same boat. If i didnt have anything to do i'd be up till 3 or 4 AM just playing in clan wars or whatever. S2 was good too but not quite the same. The hit detection system in S1 was perfect, i dont know why they had to change it. I remember being involved in some epic matches on gamebattles haha. I didnt play S3 much, got bored quickly, so i'm really hoping Confrontation is good. Frostfire and Desert Glory are back too! It'd be awesome if they brought back Abandoned, Rats Nest and The Ruins too IMO.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Aug 4, 2008 -> 07:13 PM) What are some good multi-player games for the PS3, aside from sports games? I'm finally going to pick up a PS3!! Also, I don't know if it makes a difference because online is the way to go these days, but does the offline multi-player suffer? I would highly recommend SOCOM: Confrontation. It comes out September 16th i believe. I have always loved that series (until CA, at least) and the devs have promised it would be more like S2 than S3, which IMO is the absolute right way to go. Its online only, by the way

Dye and Floyd. Gavin's big game against the Twins gave him the slight edge over MB for me

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 02:48 PM) Oops. yes. Who is the most likely to be in a Sox uniform opening day 2009 Griffey, Crede, Anderson, or none of the before? Anderson, easily.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 09:44 PM) The Ghostbusters game as well as a few other high profile games look like they will canceled. What other games? Link?

QUOTE (rangercal @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 03:19 AM) Both Teams are GREAT at home and below average on the road. Games Left Home/Road White Sox 31/25 Twins 24/30 Games Left vs Current .500 teams or better Twins- 20 White Sox - 30 Sox have the advantage with remaining home games. Twins have the advantage with remaining Strength of Schedule. It is going to be tight. The Twins also have a stretch where they play 24/30 on the road includign 14 straight

What is ridiculous about this series is how we allowed Justin Morneau to beat us and the failure to secure those last outs of innings. Outside of him and Mauer, this team doesnt have anyone that should scare you. The Twins scored 26 runs in the series, but 14 of them came with 2 outs. They're clutch hitting was ridiculous, yet again. However, of those 14 2-out RBIs, 9 came from Justin Morneau. Thats ~65%. On a team with two legit stars playing with a bunch of league average (at best) players, there was no excuse for allowing him to beat us over and over. For the series, Morneau went 5-14, 2 2B, 2HR, 4R, 10RBI (9 2-out RBI)

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:52 PM) My brother heard the Sox are talking to the Marlins, who are interested in Brian Anderson The Marlins have always liked BA and he'd be a great defensive fit for the chasm that is their center field

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:33 PM) If Griffey is signed early, or the Sox reach an agreement with him to reject arbitration, that makes it possible to get the picks. Ok, but is he really going to be Type A? I dont feel like looking it up, but i'd have a hard time believing he would be. So assuming he is a B, that one pick to go with OCab's two would give us a shot at 3 picks, 4 if you assume Crede will maintain B status

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) Your sound reasoning and well thought out logic would get you IP banned at a lot of places. Paulie is going nowhere, as he should go nowhere. Griffey will NOT be on the 2009 Sox unless they keep him on to DH and let Thome go (I'd prefer Thome, he's kept his power better). If you asked me for the BIGGEST benefit to this deal it would be the draft picks we'd get for Griffey when he signs somewhere else as a free agent. The Sox could conceivably get 6 supplemental picks next year - 2 for Cabrera, 2 for Griffey, 2 for Thome (if no option picked up). I'd say that would help the farm system, but I'm not high on the Sox's drafting. Griffey wont be offered arbitration (at least he shouldnt be) but if he did he'd be Type B which means 1 pick. Thome's real close to having his option be automatically picked up so theres no way we get 6 picks. We'd be lucky to get 3.

QUOTE (striker62704 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:02 PM) When is the deadline? 3pm est? 4pm EST 3pm CST 1pm PST

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 11:54 AM) I think he already cleared this season when they sent him down. I don't think he has to go through again. You are correct

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 11:36 AM) I don't think you'll see Griffey in a Sox uni until Friday. Was Cinci at home? Because thats an awfully short flight to Minneapolis...
