The Irish slim slim hopes for a national title are on the line tonight. While USC's road to the title game could go away tonight. Lets go Irish. Oh and Arkansas proved they weren't that amazing. I still say LSU is a top 2-3 team in the country (talent wise).

I had no work and I slept in. It was great.

And he apparently has some attitude issues. That said he's a pretty solid player.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Nov 22, 2006 -> 12:44 PM) While I still think KW will go out and find another outfielder, I wonder if there's any chance that it ill come down to a tryout between Owens, Pods, Sweeney, Anderson and Fields in Spring Training for the 2 outfield spots...? I'd throw up if that happened.

We still have an opening a SS or CF for the top of the order. I don't expect Anderson to be here so you make a push at someone like Figgins for the top of the order or go after someone like Rollins. I'd like to think that after we move one of our starters we'll have enough chips to make a move.

Yeahhh....JUAN.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 22, 2006 -> 11:02 AM) The same jackass that stuck Mack in CF for half the season was quoted as saying Podsednik might have been able to play CF on a team like the Brewers, but not on a team trying to win a title. That should tell you a little something about his D.

I watched enough of the Rangers to say he's an upper echelon defensive CF.

On a sidenote, has anyone here downloaded that firmware update that allows you to play burned games? I'm asking because I think it would be nice to be able to burn a copy of the game you own and just play that burned copy while keeping the original in perfect condition. I don't know about you all, but even when I take the best care of games (which I do) ocassionally after a year or two of hard playing the games find a way to get scratched and ocassionally freeze up when that happens. Anyway I was just curious. On a sidenote, tonight I am going to work on setting it up to stream from my computer to the tv so I can watch high def stuff I have on my computer on the tv. I'm hoping it ends up looking amazing, if it does I got to admit, the 360 is an ingenius application because not only can you play rad games on it, but you can also turn it into a total media center.

I'd much rather find a way to get a bunch of chips and go after a Vernon Wells or Torri Hunter. God, can you imagine the amount of money Hunter will get next year. That is if the market is the same in 07 as it is in 06.

Or you can go to Microcenter. It is going to be 299 with a 100 mail in rebate (the price you pay is 399 and than you mail in the rebate to make it 299). Of course its a black friday sale so you may have to wait in lines or something. They also had this deal about a week ago.

Those stats are ridiculously awful. I was just looking through a couple other positions. Pods 3rd best left fielder...need I go on. Figgins 4th best centerfielder...again a joke.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Nov 22, 2006 -> 08:11 AM) FYI you can get the premium Xbox 360 right now on dell's website for $340 with free shipping. I bought mine at Costco because I know I can return it when Microsoft releases there updated Xbox (with HDMI hookup...wireless internet...and my guess of a HDDVD player standard). I pretty much know its going to happen sometime in the future.

Ya, Jr Smith would have been our best offensive player and he's the type of offensive player that can drive and get free throws. Absolutely awful move.

If Sarge Jr. plays like he did the past two years this isn't a bad move. That said its a lot of money but the Angels desperately needed help in CF and help defensively and Matthews does both. But wow, 5 years is too long.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) Sounds like Alamo Bowl for Iowa. They get a better bowl in 2006 when they are 6-6 then we got when we were 8-3 in 2000. Boo. Its great to travel well. This is good because we still have a bowl to sell recruits to. Our season went as bad as it could get and they still were 6-6. Its a long ways from when Ferentz first came to down. That said what an incredibly dissapointing season, but I'm glad I get to see them one last time on the year.

Oh nice...good call. I think thats the original Xbox versoin but it works for 360 so I'm all over that one.

YESSSS

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 01:31 PM) I am pretty sure you can set up the 2nd wireless router and just configure it to only distribute the signal and not try fighting with the other one for command. But would I be able to hard plug into that 2nd router (which is my main goal)?

Jeter should have won it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 11:23 AM) What exactly is it that suggests Nomah will be playing 3rd? Did somethign happen to Betemit? I don't know if you caught the Times/Register after Pierre signed, but Nomar said he was very open to playing 3rd base and Coletti mentioned that as well. Specifically they were talking about how Loney would play first with Nomar at 3rd. Personally speaking I think it would be idiotic because I think Betemeit is pretty damn solid. And by no means was it 100% set in stone that Nomar would play 3rd, rather it was just said as a possibility because they want Loney at first or in the field (and obviously he could also play RF, but from the sounds of it they are trying to find a Rfer).

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 10:03 AM) I enjoy "How I Met Your Mother." Ya, its a good show. Don't get to watch it too much but when I do I laugh.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 08:57 AM) some told me that NPH came out last week... kind of surprised by that one. Ya, it was funny...was at a party and after it we were going to go see Borat...first thing that comes up on my friends cell phone is a message saying NPH came out.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 20, 2006 -> 10:49 PM) Some people are blind to certain systems for instance... some people will only buy a ps3 no matter what because they had a ps2 and ps1 b4 that and its the same thing for people who had an xbox. Also there is the fact that the 360 came out earlier and right now is easier to get..... and than there is the halo which is a major selling point too. But unless you are a huge halo fan and have to get it, the ps3 is by far the better unit and considering what I said about costs its not really a big difference at all when it comes down to it. But hey, if you want a 360... im not going to stop you. Also the Wii is so different from both of these systems that if you have the cash I would suggest buying it along with one of the ps3/360. Xbox also has a firmware update that allows you to play *b*rned* games. So no mod chip crap. But ya, I think Microsoft is going to have to do something about the lack of wireless (having to pay an extra 90) and the fact that you have to pay for online service. That said it works seamlessly with your computer network which is a major plus.

QUOTE(chisoxdavid @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 01:54 AM) Just want to see how many ppl here play or played football on thanks giving. Me and some friends always try to make it out to play. Every year I have Thanksgiving with my family around 2 and than after that I do it all over again with all my friends later on in the evening (my friends mom has a zillion leftovers so we just all come over and mooch) but prior to eating the 2nd meal we have a yearly pigskin game.
