QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 05:36 PM) There were 2 on last night. The hospital was the first of the 2. The second...well maybe this thread should have a "Spoilers" mark on it. ah crap. I need to find the 2nd one still than.

Am I an episode behind or something. Why the hell did I just read this thread. I just watched the one where they try to release the gas in the hospital.

Awesome works perfect. Does this actually mean I'm getting a true high def picture on my computer?

He hit another bomb today. Really looks like he's gotten healthy.

I have a file on my computer thats an hdtv file. I double click it but it won't open on real or windows media. How can I play this file?

Jim Thome: South Side Lumberjack Interview By Chris Sprow From CSR The Magazine im Thome, a left-handed lumberjack, has a way of talking that reminds you of his swing. He ambles. And he speaks slowly, with a purpose, and not with any sense of immediacy. Like at the plate. He has a slow cadence of practice swings, and his is a posture of patience. He will take pitches, and even his most violent home run cut is a long wave at the ball...MORE

White Sox Cut Roster To 45 By Jason Gage Soxtalk.com March 7, 2006 Prior to playing the A’s on Tuesday, The White Sox dropped nine players from there spring training roster, bringing it to 45. LHP Rusty Tucker was sent to AAA Charlotte while LHP Chad Bentz, OF Ben Grieve, INF Tim Hummel, C Carlos Lee, LHP Corwin Malone, LHP Stephen Randolph and INF Jorge Velandia were reassigned to minor league camp...MORE

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) I thought they would give Grieve a better look. He does look like he is trying to shorten his swing. He didn't look good in the OF, but not many do in March in Arizona, and Grieve has never been a very good fielder. I think he was in solely to keep Charlotte happy. Charlotte has been terrible in the W/L department the past few years and while that may not be a big deal to Sox fans, it is a big deal to the Knights and there attendance. I don't think they ever had any plans of Grieve making the roster.

Told everyone Hansen would be defensive player of the year.

I'll look into that Jim. I think I'm gonna meet up with Quick at the Brewers/Sox game in Tuscon in about two weeks. Thanks for all the comments everyone. Really jacked up to do the next one next Monday.

Very cool video, definately made me sad about how things ended.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) Vazquez is Puerto Rican. I learn something new everyday. I just remember everyone yapping about Ozzie and him being good friends so I just assumed Venezuelan.

Who wants to PM me a way to find tonights episode of 24. My freaking DVR crapped out and had some sort of recording error.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) I'm with Steve, let's get the hair and beard going. My favorite part is when Jason talks about our left-hand bullpen tryout guys and uses the word "crap" about 5 times...he also uses "garbage" and "junk" later on. Not that it's not true, but he just kept going on, lol. I wonder if I should grow a tourney beard for my Hawkeyes. The flaw is it may be nothing but stubble by the time they are out.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 09:42 PM) Wait til special guest Heads. You know we have the ability to do that? Our plan is to get some guests on the show as we go. We may do our 3rd show from TEP and I'm going to see if we can land an interview with one of the minor leaguers (small possibility just because I'm only going to be in TEP one of the days).

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) Gotta love listening to the smooth sounds of Jason. Honestly, this was pretty easy to listen to, good stuff. Podcast of this stuff would be clutch. We should have the podcast set up by our next show, worse case the 3rd one. At that point people will be able to subscribe to it and than auto download it to the ipod's. Plus we'll always have this version. I definately got a little long and loopy at times, but looking forward to doing more shows. Oh and when Iowa wins it all, I'm gonna slam each and every Illinois fan on this site.

Soon to be a podcast. Check it out. Mario and I talk about the pitching staff. All feedback would be appreciated. Hope you enjoy it. Soxtalk On the Air We still got to improve the chemistry, but we'd like to think we'll get better with time.

If they don't agree it would be 94 or 95 million. I should add I just saw Jerry Jones on and he didn't sound very pleased. Said the players could very well reject it. That said, the figure was very close to what the players wanted. If they vote no, than it means the following year will be an uncapped year. No further negotiations would be made.

QUOTE(Felix @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Sorry, but Iowa, depending on the bracket they are in, will not make it to the sweet 16, and has no chance in hell at the elite 8. Illinois can go far if they play up to their potential, but I don't see them in the elite 8 either. I think OSU has a valid chance at Elite 8, but again, more likely will lose in the sweet 16. Defense is key and Iowa and Illiniois defend as good as any team in the country. I think Iowa goes out real quick or they stick around for a while. Illinois will be there. They are battle tested and play exceptional defense. They also have good athletes. OSU relies on that outside shot and they haven't exactly been running away with things. They go down in the sweet 16. Depending on the draw, but I think they will.

The players association will vote tomorrow on a deal that would push the cap to 110 million or so. It is expected that the players will agree to the deal.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) Agree there too. Iowa, Illinois, OSU all make the sweet 16. I think one of them goes elite 8 and may make it to the final 4. My gut feeling says that team will be one of the I's. OSU will have a bad shooting night in the sweet 16 and go down.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) This Gonzaga team is going down SO FAST in the NCAA Tourney, it isn't even funny. If they're a one seed, they'll definitely be the first one seed knocked off. Gosh, I hope Marquette is in the Zags bracket. Duke won't make it past the sweet 16. Soon to be Big West Conference Tourney champ Cal State Fullerton will knock them out in the sweet 16. They are gonna be the cinderell astory of the decade. ROCK CHALK TITANS

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) Well, bubble teams rejoice. Honestly are the Zags that weak that they need to scratch out all these games against inferior competition, or are they just playing down to their level? I guess these questions will be answered in the next couple weeks. They just want the close games so they can be more battle tested come tourney time.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) We'd take them, there is 0 doubt in my mind to be honest. I want them and I want them bad. I want SIU eventually. Why, cause I think we are a better defensive team. Plus I prefer to play lower scoring teams cause I think we are better than almost any defensive oriented team in the country. However playing a team like Duke or maybe even the Zags could give us trouble. Well maybe not, I think we'd shut down most of the Zags and would actually be able to score at will. But Uconn or Nova would destroy us.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) That made me laugh. Its the only funny joke I'll have all month, so make it last.
