Official Recruiting Thread II
QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 06:37 PM) As a Tennessee fan, I would be ecstatic to get Prater. He's visiting Knoxville this weekend. But I just don't see us getting him in the end. He apparently really wants to enroll early so I think he'll end up at ND or Illinois since he probably knows those schools better than UT. One plus is that his dad supposedly really likes the staff at Tennessee. So much for Prater at Tennessee apparently with Kiffin gone. Might USC be back in the mix?

Video Game Catch-All Thread
QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) OMG yes please! My brother and I spent so many hours playing World Series matchups in that game. While we tried playing with different teams, it always seemed like the best ones were the Twins vs Tigers, which is ironic because we both hate those teams so much now. But Kirby Puckett, Chuck Knoblock, Dan Gladden, Kent Hrbek, Shane Mack, Cecil Fielder, Mickey Tentelton, Lou Whitacker, Travis Fryman, Rob Deer, Twinkie Wells...man, those teams were fun back then. Sadly, I was playing about a year or two ago, and SNES shut off, erasing all the players names. That was a sad day. Never had a chance to change them all again (except the Sox, of course). Randy Johnson's fastball/slider combo in that game made it possible to throw a no-hitter every time. And who could forget Ken Griffey's home run cheat? Left, Left, Right, Right, Right, Left, Left

How to make a protein shake that doesn't suck...
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 06:28 PM) For more general people, (not you) it's recommended that a post workout recovery drink have a 4-1 carbs to protein ratio. Especially if you really push it hard. I drink the new forumla of muscle milk as both a snack or small meal replacement or a protein supplement. Heres a recovery drink http://www.puresport.com/products/index.html And to plug Tony's as well. https://extranet.securefreedom.com/MillionD...&AddToCart= Chocolate Milk is actually a very good recovery drink as well. And it is the most delicious food ever. At least, in my opinion.

Official Recruiting Thread II
QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 12:00 PM) Kyle Prater just decommited two days before he was to begin classes at USC a couple others too I believe. Plus there is a bunch of guys who still have yet to commit that were leaning USC. I would love to see him go to Illinois, but I have a feeling he is going to choose Tennessee. Also, Illinois is a finalist for a 4-star CB, but the name eludes me. As big a Illinois fan as I am, if I am Prater, why would you choose Illinois at this time? I think his best option would be Notre Dame actually (who I hate). Big stage, needs some help at WR, wide-open offense of Brian Kelly and top QBs coming in all the time.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) One of my favorite non-regular characters was Mr. Bookman, the guy who hunts down overdue books for the library. Also some good flashbacks to Jerry & George in high school in that episode. Can't Stan Ja!!

Classic Kramer from the Junk Mail episode: Kramer, showing Jerry his mailbox: "Check it out. Rain and sleet may not stop them, but let's see them get by... these bricks." Jerry: "Where'd you get the bricks?" Kramer: "Jerry, the whole building is brick."

Who pinch runs?
While Nix doesn't have the pure speed that Lillibridge does, I would rather keep Nix and his versatility over Lillibridge. Nix did fine with the Sox in SBs last year and although his minor league totals are much worse than Lillibridge (SB/CS ratio), Nix is superior in all facets of the game excluding speed, which Nix is pretty solid anyway. Lillibridge can pretty much only pinch run while Nix can play almost anywhere and provide some pop occasionally.

I just felt the need to start this and discuss the best show ever created even though it's been a decade since new episodes. I was watching the episode, "The Slicer" yesterday and was just thinking how it is my favorite episode. So share your memories folks.

What's your resolution?
Run a sub-90 half marathon. Seriously, I am done with college and working for four days a week this winter/spring/summer until I go to law school in the fall. All my friends are still at college basically, so I will have nothing to do, but concentrate on running my sub-90 minute half marathon. I am also taking suggestions on what to do with my boredom for awhile.

Who is your favorite MLB team outside the Sox?
Cardinals as well. Generally the Cubs biggest threat and since Cubs fans hate Cardinals fans and vice versa, I figured why not hate on the Cubs some more.

Official 2009-2010 NHL Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 11:47 AM) Spoiler Alert. The meatball conglomerate is in EVERY sports city. Yeah. It's similar to the argument that (blank) city has the best fans. There is always going to be the truly die-hards, the bandwagon, the idiots, the apathetic, etc in every city, and in my opinion, roughly equal percentages. All fan bases are about the same, I think. Now one team may have more based on geographical location, but I think the City A has the best fans and City B has the worst fans is the most pointless argument (except when referring to the Cubs' fan .

Viciedo at 1b?
The Sox signed Viciedo because they saw he has 40+ home run potential and could be an RBI machine. If the he hits the way he should, it doesn't matter where he plays. After watching the movie Sugar last night, I think Viciedo's numbers were great for his first year in the United States. We cannot imagine how stressful and uncomfortable it must have been for him, at 20 YEARS OLD, to be living thousands of miles from his family in a couple new environment, hitting .280 with 12 HRs (in a horrible hitters' park) and 78 RBIs was a tremendous accomplishment. This year, I wouldn't be surprised to see him double that HR total, especially in that park in Charlotte while maintaining his BA and improving plate discipline.

Joe Posnanski article
Actually just recently re-watched the movie Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck. It's funny that Frank Thomas is the one who replaces him as the Yankees first baseman. It was a sad clip though to see Frank in a Yankees hat. Also a pretty funny movie overall. Just thought I'd share that tangent. Also, noticed Sosa in the Frank video, that was funny also. Who would have thought at the time those guys would combine for over 1100 home runs?
