QUOTE(jenks45monster @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 08:52 PM) Trying to find a Alexei Ramirez Rookie Card. Anybody know if they're being released yet? Gotta have that thing. Hey man, Google Topps Baseball cards and see if there's any information there---I'm not sure when the companies are releasing their cards but I know they will include many people who are new to the organizations in their set. It may not be the most valued of the rookie cards, though.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 06:09 AM) Boo, you had me all excited we traded for Cain for a minute. Yeah, I thought that's what the whole "Drop off Crede, Pick up Cain" thing meant. Rats.

I would hope that the Sox don't break camp with Hall, send him on a rehab assignment to Charlotte and then call him up when he's ready. It just doesn't make sense to play someone who still isn't that healthy.

And I thought I was going to read a thread full of intellectual thoughts. Bummer.

Eat s*** Murton! I think the Bears just found their new safety, Rouse---cut Archuleta now! How did we get the run before Thome hit his HR? Also, did Linebrink just say that someone said the Sox had a good club house? Don't the Sox have real crappy team chemistry?

1-1 tie. Single my McGee and that knocks the runner in.

Just out of curiosity, what does everyone think about Ehren Wassermann's chances of making the team?

Do you think we'll start BA in LF over Quentin? Is it possible that Quentin could start the season on the DL or in AAA? Anderson looked real good yesterday when I was watching the game on TV.

Does anyone still listen to Macneil, Jurko and Harry? How's that show going?

He would be a valuable asset for assessing individual speeds and might be able to mentor Owens, but it's too early to tell if Cox will work out for us or not.

Bring it, Bedard. Buehrle has just given up two hits in six spring innings with 3 K's and 2 BB's. Should be an interesting game today.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) Some poster continuously replied to posts asking people if they were seriesly (seriously) series (serious). And from the looks of it, it was no accident. Sorry, I should have put my post in green. I found that funny, but I guess I'm beating a dead horse. Proceed on with discussion as normal.

Off-topic: I couldn't help but read this title and giggle at the spelling since we had a whole thread about the word serious. Seriousl = Sirius(ly) = series(ly) Come on now, seriesly.

QUOTE(rowand's rowdies @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 08:32 PM) The Group formerly known as the Rowand's Rowdies, now the Dirty Thirties, would like to add our thoughts into this. As far as Beast goes, this is a very easy diagnosis. He has NEVER BEEN DRUNK Plain and simple. It's like saying you don't like ice cream before you try it. Or that people that get into fights are pussies when you haven't been in one. If you haven't tried something (short of certain drugs), don't rip people for doing it. Alcohol is the cause, but also the solution to many of life's problems as the great Homer Simpson once said. College is not all about learning from books and professors. It's about learning about life. Learn about other people, who you like, who you don't. It's about eating ramen noodles and barely affording books and finding a way to go out to the bar. You are 19, you are young. If you think just because it's illegal until you are 21 it is wrong, you are wrong. How many kids under 21 go fight and die for the country? How many under 21 year olds are given credit cards to abuse? How many are given excessive loans? They can smoke cigarettes, which are, and many times are worse. You, sir, are the Donatello of the Turtles. You need to be more like Mike. If you try drinking and don't like it after a few times, be the designated dave. We all need one of them. And we will pay for your food when you drive us to Taco Bell on the way home. Peace. Thanks, but I'm not changing anything. This has already been established several times.

How many options does Brian Anderson and Jerry Owens have?

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) Boy will they look stupid going out and having fun when you are following these strangers around video taping them because you think they are beneath you. POST THE YOUTUBE LINK!!!!! We've gotten over the fact that I think "people are beneath me", man. Move on.

So, I assume the thin air in Arizona isn't an excuse for MacDougal? What seems to be his issue, lack of movement, location or lack of speed on his pitches?

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 07:14 PM) i think this should become the new drunk posting thread. Yeah, especially since the debate is over. You know, I'm going to ask for a video camera for my birthday, go around campus and put drunk video tapes on youtube or blue box.

QUOTE(G&T @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 04:52 PM) St. Patrick's Day will fall on spring break for most schools. Bummer, why can't they just celebrate it like normal back home?

Why are some campuses having 'unofficial' St. Patrick's Day celebrations?

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 11:52 PM) But, i honestly don't care too much about being that social, so it really never mattered to me. I think that is what it really comes down to for me. QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 11:41 PM) I can honestly say you are the most serious person I've ever met. Why's that?

QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) haha, joke much? Anyways DGS was a pretty decent school. There are much, much worse out there. No, I don't need to "joke much." DGS was a half-assed school with several cliques and corruption of some faculty members and administrators. No wonder the faculty is in trouble for not meeting state scores---I hope some people get canned. I'm confused as to why you've added me as a friend, but that's okay.

Is anyone going to give play-by-play here or in the chat?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 02:03 PM) Yeah. They had Farmio and Singleton on for like 2 minutes and switched it to Paxson and the Bulls. I don't know why the Score is doing that---they are definitely alienating a lot of listeners.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! They took off the online feed! I'm getting the Score's online feed where they are talking about the Bulls. Are you discussing that online feed?
