The Beast

A tribute to Blink 182 Maybe Adam was right... "Adams Song" I never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest, who'd have known? I traced the cord back to the wall No wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine, I didn't think enough I'm too depressed to go on You'll be sorry when I'm gone I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait 'til I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never thought I'd die alone Another six months, I'll be unknown Give all my things to all my friends You'll never step foot in my room again You'll close it off, board it up Remember the time that I spilled the cup Of apple juice in the hall Please tell mom this is not her fault I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait 'til I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never conquered, rarely came Tomorrow holds such better days Days when I can still feel alive When I can't wait to get outside The world is wide, the time goes by The tour is over, I've survived I can't wait 'til I get home To pass the time in my room alone

"Contrary to what you all believe I think I look better wet, I've been campaigning this for about two years now, so throughout the show you will see me getting sexier and sexier as the show gets hotter and hotter!" "You'll also see Tom getting fatter..." "Why would I be getting fatter!?" "because...BOOBIES!" "What?" (giggles from crowd) "Well your to young, to understand..." "Whatever, man, lets play the next song," "The next song when I had a lot of alchoholic beverages and got kicked out of school, and here's how it goes, here it is." From Blink 182's "The Mark, Tom, and Travis show."

Always have been one of my favorites. I usually roam the halls listening to the Mark Tom and Travis show. They'll be back, I know it... Maybe Adam was right...

Look at his wristband, its so incredibly awesome, he's cheering for us! Mine snapped, the filthy bastards didn't make it well. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to sell to me?

We're a mutt team! I'm glad the way baseball has evolved into different races, I think its breaking the age old racial barrier. And you know, its hysterical that Ozzie is so silly with his voice.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 05:24 PM) What on earth is a WinMx? Music company that has sick comptrollers in the chat room.

Let him walk, I don't need his lazy ass on this team...yeah his numbers are good, but he lazily plays D and I think Tyson Chandler is a bigger threat.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) I'm real sorry that I can't interpret what you mean, okay? Don't say stupid things... I didn't say something stupid, I just didn't read what I say, alright buddy? I'm not going to get heated with you over this, it would be stupid to do so.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Anyway, I do agree with the principle that Everett will be a solid performer while Frank is out. Which is what I was meaning to say...

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) So, because Everett is faster than Thomas, we'll be fine? Ha ha, very funny, you are quite the comedian, eh?

QUOTE(quickman @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Jim I don't believe it at all. he has to say that because he wants Willie to play hard. A hard playing Willie makes for a better trade. People will be watching this spring. He gone by opening day. I hope I never see the little s*** again. Tell him to take his cell phone with him. quickman's back to him old self now... thanks for those tickets...

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Feb 17, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/NASApp/ml...s_stl&fext=.jsp I really wonder who you guys think we could get in return for Harris...of anyone GOOD?

We'll miss him, but I do believe Everett is faster than Frank, so in the time being, I'd have to say we'll be fine...tho we need Franks power numbers.

QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) Easy lightning. Do you know where I got that saying from?? Nope. I was only kidding Jim...are you going to be with terry on opening day?

QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 11:09 PM) I can't wait until Alomar retires or gets his 3000th hit so we won't have to see any more of these supposedly funny remarks about trading for him again. Sorry ... but it's been posted about 100 times in green sarcasm font and it's gotten very lame. Shouldn't you be in bed with the wife? Good, I thought we'd see a better player for him.

Spitball? Gumball?

QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 08:34 AM) I think that will be defined as Charlotte. I'd rather hear the words "unconditional release"

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 06:16 AM) I agree here. Burke and Valdez should make this team as the 24th and 25th guys. Burke can spell Crede at 3rd so Uribe can concentrate on SS and only SS. Let Valdez be this year's Uribe seeing time at both 2B and SS. Trade Willie for a minor leaguer and let's gget this season going. I'm disagreeing with you on trading Harris. If you are bringing in an infielder, why are you losing one? It makes no sense to me. All I know is I want Borchard out of town. I'm ready for the season. 2 days, 6 hours, 26 min, 40 seconds and counting...

I think we could have a big thread with all the names on the roster and the roster invitees. Then after whoever gets cut, or released, we can update it as we go. It'd be interesting to say the least, I'd think.

I don't see why this is such a big deal. I don't think Escobar can come back from the injury to be the top ranked player like he was, when he was the key component in the Roberto Alomar Indians/Mets deal a couple years ago. I'm hoping that now my boy Jamie Burke makes the team as a utility player. He can be played at 3rd, catcher, and outfield. I better not see that sorry piece of s*** Borchard on the team come April 4th. I hope they designate his ass for assignment, or release him, because he's a pain in the ass. You don't sit there and wait on a guy who got a bonus and hasn't lived up to anything. This year it is make or break for him, and since I saw what I saw in the Mexican League release, he's already behind. I'll rip on him all I want, because look at his numbers, and I'm not even seeing any injuries, so there's no excuse. I don't see any major infielder coming in, seeing as how we have Iguchi coming in to play 2nd base. And these relievers? I thought our bullpen was set...or are we discussing the sake of a 25th man here? Am I confused? rockin emoticons guys

Lots of ppl have moved on from the board. Maybe the youngins have grown up a little bit

He was a lot skinnier there...oh, and anyone want to guess why he's called the tiny one...ahem, down there,

I'm going to beat my 20 something games from last year. I'm a suburbs boy.
