Welcome!

It's awesome. Also, as I was watching the movies I was telling my friend that I couldn't imagine this stuff being pulled off in a book. And now that I've read this one, it's the other way around. I have no idea how they can condense the story into less than 3 hours and portray this stuff into movies.

So I've read the 6th book now, and I'm pumped about the 7th. This story's amazing. That was the first book I've read in the series. My friend was saying how they start out slow and get much better. And at the time, I was a little less than halfway through the book completely enjoying the story and everything. However, everything completely intensifies later on. It was great. I've got some interesting theories on some characters and what can happen now, but they'd probably be considered spoilers.

RIP Old FUR thread. One of the most underrated threads on the site.

Brian, FWIW, that was the 5th movie, the book coming out next week is the 7th.

As someone that's only seen the movies up to this point, this was my favorite one yet. I really liked the darkness of the story. I plan on borrowing the 6th book to get caught up with the story and then eventually the 7th.

Supposedly Mike Tirico's name is being thrown around to replace DP at ESPN Radio. That could be decent.

Got tix for 12:15 tonight. Wooo.

Next year in New York it should be fun, Arod will prolly do it. I'd be surprised to see ARod do it, Pods has a better shot at winning that. ARod has a horrible history in these.

Congrats to Vlad--it's hard not to like him.

Awesome stuff from Vlad.

Ahh, so this is what my friend was talking about. This looks like it could be good.

Considering the site crashed as I was trying to read this, I'll say do it.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) He mentioned on his show he was asked to audition for "The Price Is Right", wonder if he got it (although I imagine that would be heavily rumored) I've read that he was offered an audition and declined.

Boo. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=1469679 Hawk should replace him.

I agree. I don't really get any kind of sports radio here, so it's sweet hearing a whole show devoted to my favorite team. I love these things.

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/press_releases/pre...sp&c_id=mlb MLB is already going to begin advertising for the playoffs tomorrow night through the end of the season, with spots done by Dane Cook.

Dan Patrick's leaving ESPN after 18 years. http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/arti...PORTS/707090427

This will have things moving better. Below is the link for the original thread, and PHF's first post from the original thread with some useful links for information. I've updated the links to the 2008 class. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=45121 QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jan 6, 2006 -> 01:03 AM) I'll get some links of lists etc, just give me a second.

I'll be pulling for Prince.

Would anyone be opposed to us starting a new Recruiting Thread? This one's really been bogging down. We'll post a link to this one at the start of the new one.

I just saw the first four movies for the first time in June, and I enjoyed them immensely. I plan on seeing the fifth sometime soon (probably this week), and then I will be borrowing a friend's copy of the sixth book and eventually the seventh. I know it's not the best way to follow this story, but I'm having fun w/ it anyways.
