Does anyone know how to download those highlights they show on the Sox homepage? They've had some really good ones lately and Id like to put together a folder of em.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) I wanna know the game that you just get the sudden urge to play. I'm not gonna go back as far as Atari and Nintendo and Sega but only Nintendo 64 and Playstation. To me, for some strange reason, I love going back and playing NHL Faceoff 2001 and Twisted Metal 4 for Playstation. It is nice to just go back once in a while and re-live what you once thaought were the realest graphics ever. So much fun...how about you!?!? Dude, how can you NOT include the real old systems when talking about "Throwback" video games. My favs, in no particular order. Operation Wolf ( Arcade ) Double Dragon ( Arcade / Nintendo ) Metal Gear Solid (PS1) RBI Baseball ( Nintendo )

Mine would have to be when you go to a fast food restaurant and your drink ends up being a cup full of ice with a little soda poured on top. Curious to see what the rest of you find annoying.

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) I've seen a lot of guys who have jumped this year,and i was wondering your thoughts on thats,. I personally cant stand them its just annoying when people dont support the team and then when they are good say i knew it i love the sox..even the people who were sox fans but when they got 2nd last 3 years they weren't seen now they are in 1st they are all coming out...whats your thoughts If I suspect someone's a bandwagon fan I ask one simple question. Who are the starting 5 for the Sox. If they can't answer ( with maybe some wiggle room for Duque being hurt ) I throw up the "talk to the hand" gesture and turn away.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 03:18 AM) If the Hawks were going to hire a former star player it would have been Denny Savard. I like this Yawney hire, though. I don't care about media impact, I want the Hawks to play some good hockey for a change. Didn't Savard already have a stint as head coach? I think he did for a time during the really suck-ass years of the late 90's.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 05:25 PM) McCain - Lieberman McCain - Hagel Edwards - Napolitano My early wish list. Probably in that order. Guiliani - McCain would be my dream ticket. They'd win by no less than 15%

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 02:40 AM) are you kidding me? That movie was great, that has always been one of my all time favorite movies to watch.. well favorite war movie anyways.... I was rooting for Ed Harris the whole time. There were 3 parts when I couldn't stop laughing though. First is when they captured one of Zaitsev's buddies, dressed him up in a German uniform and made him crawl out there like one of the cable installer guys then dude got popped in the head by his own people. Second is right at the beginning when the boats are crossing the river, or trying to, and the German planes just f*** em up with bombs and machine guns. What a hapless bunch the ordinary Russian was though. When they tried to jump off the boat and dodge the machine gun fire they got shot full of holes by their own officers. When Ed Harris strung up that stupid kid toward the end of the movie I laughed for 5 minutes straight.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) Until that magic number hits 0, nothing's a lock. Agreed. Forget about the division being a "lock" for now.

Jude Law falls under the "didn't meet his potential" category. He was such a pussy in "Enemy at the Gates" he almost spoiled the whole movie.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) you 2 obviously never saw the original or read the book :puke .... Guys anyone who knew anything about the movie knew it would end that way and to be honest I think its an awesome ending. Im sorry not everything needs to end with us nuking them or something like that...... In the original WoW story the Aliens all die from airborne bacteria. This followed the original story perfectly. I just got back from the theater and I'd have to give it an 8 out of 10. I cheered out loud when that infantry squad took out the alien drone at the end of the flick but then I was let down by the ending. Funny how this nice area in Boston is perfectly intact while the rest of the city was flattened by the aliens. Then, of course, Tom Cruises wife and her parents come out of the house looking like armaggedon bypassed them totally. BLAH. There was plenty of carnage to go around, however, so I was pleased.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) Linky YEAH RIGHT WILLIE! LOL!!! He should just go back to washing dirty jock straps in the clubhouse and shut his trap.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 06:27 PM) Nope, these new MREs are self-heating!! Add water to a bag with a mystery chemical powder in it and you get a massive exothermal reaction. Put all your food packs in the bag and put it all back in the box for a couple of minutes and you're eating in style! I finally figured out that NUKE just enlisted for the fine eats! Fine eats huh? Try eating those things every meal for 4 months like I once had to do. :puke

Compared to what the British had to endure during the blitz of the early 1940's this, while tragic, was nothing. The British are a tough bunch and aren't going to be swayed by a random act of violence such as this.

You know what's really amazing to me is that the economy seems to be getting stronger even in the face of spiking oil. We had a nice jobs number come in today and unemployment fell to 5%, 1st quarter GDP was just revised upward, consumer confidence is strong and retail sales are very strong. Additionally the markets have totally shrugged off both oil and the terrorist attacks in London.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 12:47 AM) I just saw Clerks for the first time tonight. It's really incredible how good the writing was when considering how low budget this is. Kevin Smith really is a genius writer. WOAH.. Where have you been for the last 11 years. That movie is a new classic.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 02:15 AM) NUKE..... Why do you even attempt to sway those here that think that the US is the most barbaric and inhumane country ever? I mean, c'mon. Common sense went out the door years ago with the few radicals on this board. Like radical islamo-facists, they cannot be dealt with reasonably. Do as I do now..... ignore them. Life is good when the Sox are 31 games above .500, the Cubs are pushing the panic button, and SoxTalk is getting shout-outs from Hawk and DJ. Don't waste your time trying to deal with the few here that make SOXTALK their political bully pulpit. You're just feeding the monster within. I know, for a fact, that if you just ignore them, they will cease to post their ridiculous BS because they will not get the desired reaction out of you. No matter what you post, you will ALWAYS be wrong and they will ALWAYS be right. For every point you make, they'll make a point to counter. Thus, a vicious cycle. Just let it go. It's not worth it. You're probably right. Facts don't seem to have any effect on people who continue to defend vicious murderers.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 12:13 AM) Why do I seriously doubt that you have read the Geneva Conventions in full? Could it be that your jingoism is attemtping to demean me because I don't have the same viewpoint as you? Could be. But more likely, it's that you are acting like a Conventional scholar when you are in fact not one. The article which you quoted actually refutes your claim if the word "Party" can be interpreted in any way shape or form. Now unless there's some "Geneva Convention in Exile" group that I'm missing, please show it to me. The bullet I want to note is: (1) Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict, as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed forces. Now either way it's hard to argue whether or not the terrorists were part of the original conflict, as none of us really know. What has to be done is an assumption of whether the terrorists, if placed along side the Iraqi guard and the American forces, would act as independent and attack everyone or just one force. Without any doubt whatsoever, the terrorists would fight alongside the Iraqis and have probably done so up to the announcement of MISSION ACCOMPLISHED and LOOK HOW BIG MY COCK IS. If any mercenary or member fought alongside the Iraqi forced, they would fall under protection of the Geneva Conventions. It's not as simple as you put it, as usual, NUKE, there's a lot of wiggle room in these documents and you're not allowing for such. Once again, everything isn't black and white. Also, please respond to French comment, I'd love to see you refute that one. Now you're going to tell me that based on your speculation that they would have fought alongside an organization that now ceases to exist that they are acting within the Geneva Conventions? That's ludicrous! To further debunk that point, with their indiscriminant bombings of U.S., Iraqi Army and Iraqi police forces and civillians the facts of what's going on there serve to answer your question of who they would side with for you. The answer is neither. These people who are conducting this insurgency have sworn loyalty to Zarqawi who has sworn loyalty to Usama Bin Laden. The answer to the question of who they would side with is ultimately Usama Bin Laden. To go further than that, even if they did fight alongside the Saddam-era Army it has been 2 years since that force was rendered defunct and their actions since then, under the direction of an illegal terrorist organization and not as members of recognized armed forces remove any air of doubt as to their status as illegal combatants. Had they been captured fighting alongside Iraqi forces during the initial invasion then your point would be valid. Not today. Also, how can you account for the foregin fighters who have entered the country illegally since the end of major combat operations and engaged in activities which violate the very laws of war you are trying to protect them under? Additionally. I can't help but scratch my head at why you are so eager to split hairs looking for any loophole you can to assign rights to these terrorist criminals. In the question of your little French paratroopers analogy I had to do some quick reading but your analogy is a little off. The French engaged in such activities as electro-shock treatment and drowning among other things. They did it with the tacit approval of the French government and as a result none were punished. The murder of Iraqi's by U.S. soldiers and other acts like sodomizing prisoners and the sexually explicit photos of prisoners was not tolerated and all the soldiers found to be involved were prosecuted.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:56 PM) You might enjoy my next article more Nuke, it's an exposal of cbc.ca's poor journalism or as you would say liberal bias. I'll look forward to it.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) Patterson and Dubois sent down. Dubois is a scrub, it doesn't surprise me... but this Patterson crap is nuts. What are the Cubs doing? Why Now??? If they are this low on him... why didn't they trade him 2 months ago when people were asking about his availability? Nobody ever accused Flubbs management of being particularly smart.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) man i didnt want to hear this from an amazing player, every player is going to be promoted at his home park, im sure spod wouldnt have done as well if we werent at home for those three games of voting edit: tampas fans might have done the same Tampa has fans? Last time we were there I seem to remember Sox fans outshouting them as we whooped their ass.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:22 PM) Let the national media say what they want. I look at the standings and that tells me all I need to know about the White Sox. BRAVO!!!!
