DJ White will not be the best big man in the big 10 next year. Gregory Oden.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) Why not just start showing it in the 3rd inning, after the other game? I don't see whats so bad about that. Then show it in it's entirety later. They are showing some live look ins on SC though. Vernon Wells just K'd with the bases loaded. With that said, anyone know if Comcast Users get Deportes? I know where I am Cox users are getting a free month of Deportes so we can watch the games. May be the same with comcast. In fact it probably is.

Cuba and Korea are the two teams that impress me the least. Mexico is pretty close. The rest of the bracket is pretty solid.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) DEPORTES.... It will be tape delayed on ESPN2 at 11PM your time... 1AM here.... I think. Why is ESPN lame enough to make the USA game on tape delayed. I'd watch it on deportes but I think there homerun call gets old. Especially when there isn't any decent programming on right now anyway.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) Bold prediction that will make everyone nuts, myself included: Cintron will be the sox starting SS by the end of the season. I actually think he'll be the starting 2nd baseman when the season ends. I'm really high on this guy. And I may be high for saying this.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) His glove is below average... D'Backs fans wanted rid of him, and they've seen plenty of Royce the Choice™ down there. Its funny though, from watching the baseball classic you'd think he was pretty solid defensively. I know that hasn't been the case, but the WBC games have been about the most I've seen of Cintron and count me as impressed (albeit in it a limited sample size). Very nice swing and if he fields like he has in the tourney, thats just a plus. He doesn't have much range though for a SS, which is why I think he gets knocked defensively.

What channel is this game on? I just got done watching the Puerto Rico game.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) Not a bad radio edition. Obviously their wasnt much to talk about on it, but the radio people did Very well. This can only get better . thanks. I don't think I stopped laughing much of the 2nd half. During the break we were cracking quite a few jokes and I caught a case of the laughs. We still have some more adjustments to make, but personally I thought this one was a bit better than the first. As always we are open to any comments or critisism's. They'll only help make us better.

Definately a different opinion from mine, but its nice to have two sides. Everything I write on the main page goes with my belief that Borch is the better fit. OH, FourofaKind was the person that wrote it. He's going to be doing a weekly Who's Hot, Who's Not during the season. The stats are actually a day old because I'm really busy with school and didn't get a chance to update them. That said the way Borch is hitting this spring, he's really digging himself into a hole.

Who's Hot or Not: Spring Training Edition By Tyler James Soxtalk.com It is now time for the debut of the weekly Who’s Hot? Who’s Not?. This week is a special Spring Training Edition. Here is a list of players hot and cold as Spring Training starts separating the boys from the men...MORE

QUOTE(hi8is @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) whats the deal with podcasts compared to the other format? streaming vs. downloadable? When we get podcasts up, you will be able to autodownload them into your itunes. With the mp3 format right now its only streaming. So ya what you said

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) Sorry fella's, too busy tonight (marathon training again), should be able to get my first one done, correct lettering and size tomorrow. Thats cool. Take your time.

I'll get it up right now and post it on the main board. Than when we get the permanent one from deploder, I'll actually find a specific spot on the board to have the graphic up (since it'll be a weekly piece).

I'll repin this thread tomorrow, but there is a lot of site stuff up there right now.

Soxtalk On the Air This time Mario and I break down the lineup, but we also discuss Hermanson a bit as well. The show runs around 50 minutes. Starting with our next show, we will have podcasts.

Soxtalk.com will continue its expansion today, by launching a site, one devoted to the beloved Chicago Bulls. This site, TalkBulls.com, is the 2nd step of a large network of Chicago Sports sites that we will be building on our new network, TalkChicagoSports (TCS). We recently launched TalkBears.com, now its TalkBulls.com and in the near future we hope to launch a few more sports sites. We hope to expand the passion that is Soxtalk to other teams fans and try to create that same passion on the web for Bears fans. So if your a Bulls fan or have friends/family that are Bulls fans please tell them to check TalkBulls.com out. The site will begin as one forum, but will eventually expand to have offtopic discussions. Once the site takes off we will upgrade to the version of the site that is used at Soxtalk and in the near future TalkBulls will also have a front page. Hopefully everyone enjoys it.

FutureSox All Prospect Team: Hitters By Josh Wolff FutureSox.com The Sox All Prospect team will comprise of a player at each position and than an honorable mention. The first part of the article will discuss the hitting prospects and on Wednesday an article will be up with the pitching prospects. The Sox farm system is heavy in outfield talent even after trading top prospect Chris Young, who currently ranks as the 23rd best prospect in baseball by Baseball America. However, the Sox some quality arms in the lower levels.MORE

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) I am just wondering if the Sox would consider giving both of them roster spots if they both pitch well for the remainder of ST, considering what happened to Hermie. If Hermy is down, I think the Sox will pick up a veteran thats on the bubble somewhere else. Thats my guess though. We need bullpen help and badly. What hurts worse is the fact that our system isn't going to have the people necessary to allow KW to go out and get players (which means if we trade for people at the deadline, he'll have to take on salary, imo). And if he does trade the few prospects we have left, than we'll have zero chips. If it wins us another WS fine, but I think Kenny is going to be a lot less active (in terms of giving up prospects) in 2006 than in past years.

The Angels are the most ridiculous farm system in baseball. They have some insane hitting prospects. The Angels and Dodgers are in a whole other league when it comes to farm systems (at this moment).

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) No, I am almost positive he has been floating around before. Wow, was a season kick off. Ya, he was usually in the scenes where they sit around the construction yard talking up sports and everything else. Great episode though. And I don't think he's dead.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 09:52 PM) Early 90s, even to the mid 90's. It's not as far back as Makita and Hull, don't take it back that far. But yeah, i wouldn't wast the time with a hawks forum, tony and i can just talk on AIM, lol. An illini one would be golden, especially if it's the complete opposite of IB. Actually I'm thinking a college board may be the next venture (after the Bulls site). Both Notre Dame and Illini would be solid starts. Do you guys know if there is a lot of competition in that regards? Ie, are there good Illini or Fighting Irish sites out there?

QUOTE(Felix @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:38 PM) I'm looking forward to the new skin Its up right now as the default. If you don't see it, go into your control panel and change the skin to the Invision Power Orange One

The Bulls site will open tomorrow AM. Bears site is going to get a sweet color makeover thanks to Heads.

I remember last year I enjoyed this thread as I was following Fullerton's climb in the NIT.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) is the podcast up somewhere yet? If so could you tell me where it is, or how i could get it? thanks Just the mp3 file. We are doing the 2nd show tomorrow and Mario is the one who knows that stuff, but he was going to talk to someone. Hopefully by tomorrow we'll be able to have both set as podcasts as well.
