QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) There's going to be a long line at the doctor's office tomorrow. Lots of sprained ankles from people jumping off the bandwagon (not in this thread, but it's definitely happening with some Sox fans). You used that line last year. Get some new material.

Hope the move goes very smoothly for ya Los.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 10:48 AM) Which if I am not mistaken, is the name of the game, is it not? To be friendly to those that support you versus being a jag who doesn't have the time of day to even respond to a compliment of "nice shot"? I don't care what Phil is, but I've never had a bad fan experience with him and had several with Woods. Thanks for answering the analogy; that puts things into perspective for me. I feel I just put less emphasis on what they do outside of their sport, as I consider them my favorite athletes and not my favorite people. However, Tiger would have a hard time acknowledging the crowd when they're saying he has a nice shot. Golf crowds have completely changed since he's come on the scene 10 years ago. No matter what he kind of shot he makes you'll always hear "GET IN THE HOLE! YOU DA MAN TIGERRRRR! GREAT SHOT!" After a while you're just going to block that out. His father taught him to block distractions like that out at an early age. When he was little, his dad would try interrupting his swing by making noises, throwing keys, etc. at him during a shot. He's really just doing what he was taught. Good discussion. I'm on my way back to Bloomington in a matter of hours, so I probably won't get to see anything after this until sometime tomorrow afternoon when cable gets hooked up again at the apartment.

Fair enough. Just to put this all in perspective for me, what's your opinion of Michael Jordan? Because a basketball analogy of the two players, Tiger reminds me so much of Jordan and Mickelson of Barkley.

I like the way he is. He's genuine and IMO carries himself like Michael Jordan did during his prime. He understands his skill level with the hours upon hours of work he puts in to maintain and change his swing year in and year out. He does A LOT of charity work from the books, etc. I read. He may not be in the public eye, unless he's playing in a tournament; however, I think that's good for him. I have no interest in his personal life, or what he does off the course. And he's a billion times better than Phil. Phil is the fakest person in the world. There's no way he's happy after he double bogeys a hole.

Very sorry to hear all that Nick. Congratulations on the birth of your son, and I hope things get better from here.

HB Tony!

12 majors and 51 wins.

You've got to wonder what sport is clean anymore. Sad.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 05:18 PM) Update: Got offered the job today. Thanks everyone for your help and advice. I really appreciate it.

That's why I love this game. I tell you what DJ, I've been in this game for 78 years, and I can definitely say I've never seen that. :uhoh

Series Preview: White Sox @ Twins By Tony Mazzuca The White Sox have just finished up a disappointing four-game split with the Kansas City Royals at home, and now travel to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome to take on the Twins for a three-game set. The rival Twins are two games back of the Sox in the Wild Card race, making this late August series an important one. It's pivotal the Sox show a little more energy in this series than what was displayed against the Royals. MORE AT LINK

Verlander's a Frank fan:

I haven't forgot the past couple days. Yesterday, there was only one pic of Contreras crying. And today CBS didn't release anything.

Have a good one!

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 3, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) Fort Wayne's going to be in a story on the Daily Show tonight. My friend's family owns a roller rink, and that's where it takes place. They'll be spoofing Indiana having the most terror targets in the nation. My friend is the girl with the shorter hair skating around in the back.

Boo. The Daily Quickie on Page 2 of ESPN.com is no more after August 31.

Yeah, I was curious to see how he did too. However, I was at work and didn't get to see any of it. I think it should be decent with Tirico and TK. I'm not a big fan of Theisman though.

Not bad, and welcome to Soxtalk!
