Whitewashed in '05

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 12:11 PM) KW's evil laugh when Bernstein asked him about Ordonez using PEDs is all you have to know about the situation. When did this happen? As far as Maggs leaving goes, he was my favorite player for a long time. Him leaving for Detroit wasn't what upset me, it was the fact that he hired Boras even though he knew the sox have a tough time with Boras. Looking back at the whole situtation, Maggs probably wasn't planning on staying which is why he hired Boras. Another thing that I didn't like about the whole situation was him refusing to have the sox doctors examine him before offering/signing a new contract. I was never bitter about it at all even when he came back from the injury with the Tigers and started raking again. His money was well spent in 05 and had he still been here, we probably wouldn't have been able to sign the important pieces to that championship team.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 1, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) Just turned on ESPN and saw Thome destroy a pitch to deep center. As you might expect this made me feel great. I caught that at lunch as well. That thing was a no doubter. It was the first time I've seen him in a Twins uni and it didn't feel right. I don't like that feeling... first seeing Crede and now big Jim!?

Ozzie's infatuation for some of these players he coaches just goes too far sometimes. Just because he loves that these guys play hard and are "grinders" doesn't really mean they should be put in situations he puts them in and he loves doing that.

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 06:38 PM) MLB Network projected Beckham's #'s this season in their fantasy special: .287 23 HR 86 RBI I'd take that.... I'd love to see how many doubles they project as he hit 28 in 103 games.

Great, I missed it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 02:11 PM) So I got the Show and FF13, I only had time to watch the intro of FF13, but the graphics were amazing. The game play is back to pre FF12 (active time battle), but it seems to be some what of a hybrid in that you dont necessarily control all members of the party, but instead assign them roles (ie medic). Ive only really read the instruction book, but judging from the into/storyline its going to be great and im hoping that there will be 100+ hours of game time. It appears that weapons are more customizable and suggested up to 100 different variants. I just need to finish FF8 (dled it over the holidays) and then I can start really working on this one. Thanks for the FF13 update. People are really complaining that it kind of deviates from the old FF's, but I don't think that's a big thing... then again I haven't played it, but I'm not so anal about that type of stuff either. I probably won't get it anytime soon because its just going to collect dust until I have time so I'll just pick it up for cheaper when I get the chance.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 9, 2010 -> 10:11 AM) Well it seems Im the only dork who is looking forward to the first Final Fantasy release made for this generation of consoles. I am too. I am surprised that it was barely mentioned. Can't wait to play it.

Anyone hear about GURU from Gang Starr slipping into a coma after a heart attack? http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1632854/2...ang_starr.jhtml Praying he makes it through.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 09:48 AM) Am I the only person alive that enjoyed Crash? Nope, Crash was a very good movie. A lot of people I know liked it.

I read the game is about 8 hours. Kinda sucks for $60. I have to try it out one day though.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) Once again the Cubs will lead the league in injuries in "simulated" games I just picture Lilly slamming his mitt on the mound. Actually... that would be a cool gif...

Got my tickets today for the game. I was there for his return, will be there for his retirement, and plan on being in Cooperstown for his induction.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 08:26 AM) Got the PSOM in the mail on Friday, with a full writeup on Heavy Rain. This is going to be one of the best games of all time. Heavy Rain Preview I know we've spoken about it before, but everytime I hear something new about this game it gets me more amped. I've been very interested in this game ever since I found out about it recently. I do want to buy it when it comes out, but I have no damn time to play it. I'll try to wait to buy it until I have some time or might just get it when it comes out if I hear great things about it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 06:13 PM) im really enjoying Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix That's a really good album. I can listen to almost that entire album without skipping songs.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 12:15 PM) cowley tweeted that ozzie said why he hates cj wilson, i wonder what he said and why he was mentioned Yeah, why the hell is CJ Wilson a topic at soxfest?

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 06:17 PM) Randy Williams last year at Yankee Stadium was the worst ever, I hope he does not make this team. Thanks for reminding be about that moment. My first trip to Yankee Stadium, New Yankee Stadium at that, and that's what I had to watch.

Isn't Buehrle taking part in a shoulder strengthening program this offseason for the first time? I thought I remember reading an article about him going to some camp that other players have had success with after attending.

ITS 120 Info Tech Interaction ITS 370 Data Communications and Networking ITS 372 Systems Administration and Management ITS 480 IT Project Development and Management My schedule sucks. I have to go to school four days of the week, two of those days for just one class. Sometimes they make it hard to go to school full time and have a part time job.

There was an interview after the season a couple months ago and Dye mentioned he would listen if a team wanted him to learn a new position like 1B, but not if they wanted him to DH only. I believe he said "don't even call". Unless his options are dwindling, I don't think he is willing to take on a part time role.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) I think that was a staple in games made by Midway. I remember many an NFL Blitz game where I'd be up 28 & all of a sudden everything I throw is getting picked off. I love the old Blitz games!! The newer Blitz League game blows. The NHL Hitz or whatever was good too, but I prefer Wayne Gretzky 64.

I finally saw Extract and have to say I was very disappointed. I wasn't expecting another Office Space from Mike Judge, but I was expecting better than what it was.

I was at the Bulls game last night. Very good game, especially for my first Bulls game. I don't know why I waited to so long.

I wouldn't really call these new years resolutions since they have been goals of mine before new years. Finish school ASAP. Go to the gym 3-4 times a week and grow some mass. I was doing good until school got too busy for me and had to stop going in Sept. Advance my body of knowledge in my field of work. As JPN put it, get paid more! Lastly, HAVE FUN!!!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 08:11 PM) If one of the four main characters dies at any point, they stay dead. Just throwing that out. Also, in The Show, does anyone else find the full MiLB rosters online (made by players...) and use them? Really? I'd be the type to replay the level so I wouldn't die.

"That's gold Jerry! GOLD!"
