Hey Kalapse Is it cool if I use that sig at the Bear forum I post at?

Color is too bright and odd for me. But thats just me. Still, as always appreciate your stuff.

Tied for 7th all time with Maggs in the record books for most doubles. Also led the southern league in runs scored and homers.

Anyway closed the forum down and moved it into the archive section of the board. We'll probably re-open it during the off-season, unless people would prefer to keep all that discussion on the main board (whichever the masses prefer we'll do). I also moved over the two active threads that were in that forum (one made by tony and than the other on Furcal).

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) Did anyone watch the ESPN broadcast... Those two clown announcers were listing guys that Timo had but under his wing and one of them said Damaso Marte... Doesn't Marte actually have more experience then Timo... I mean he's hardly just some kid... Timo has more major league experience. I gotta be honest, I knock Timo and I think Ozzie uses him too much (thats my major problem with Timo) but from what I do know he's very well liked in the clubhouse and has gelled with a lot of the latin players. He's also a pretty heady ballplayer, despite how I cringe every time he tries to catch the ball.

Great win and a great game by the Sox. Job well done Brandon

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) You could be right. But still, there's no way he would be left off the playoff roster. That's all i'm saying. Remember, while I gave Duque his due when he had a few nice starts a couple weeks ago I have been pretty much bashing the move since day one. I'm not a Duque fan and I don't have much faith in him when he goes out. At the same time I've long supported Contreras (well this season). He's shown me a lot and overall I've been impressed (even though he can frustrate the heck out of ya).

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) Okey doke. I'll sport a Bears one if they go over .500. 8-8 or lower....you're gonna get a Colts one. Done

2 starts one way or another don't mean anything. Only thing I know is the guy has some serious skills and has the ability to turn into a front of the rotation starter.

Timo is a major contributor in the clubhouse, there is no denying that.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) The main reason they brought Duque over was for his experience in the post-season. No way in hell they would even consider leaving him off the playoff roster. Ozzie will ride the hot hand. If Duque struggles down the stretch and Brandon pitches like he has since being recalled, it will be a no doubter in my book. All that said, I don't think Duque will stink. I also don't think Duque will be making any starts, unless the match-ups favor it. Things could change though, Count could get shelled his next couple starts and Duque could be the favorite. Who knows.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) Is it supposed to be funny? From the previews it looked serious. Oh no...but it was so awful and unrealistic it was absolutely hillarious. There were so many scenes where we were in stiches and two scenes where I was in tears laughing so hard.

QUOTE(OilCan @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 12:18 PM) Arnie Munoz....starter or reliever? Joe Borchard...trade bait or 4th outfielder for next year?? Ryan Sweeney....AAA promotion or another year at Birmingham to develop some power??? I don't think Borchard will be in the organization next year.

Transporter 2....by far the funniest movie I've seen all year. My friends and I were in tears in the theatre. Unfortunately the rest of the audience seemed to think it was a serious flick, lol. I highly recommend renting it and watching it with friends when it comes out. I can't even speak of how funny this movie is.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) The Bears will not go above .500. I'm confident of that. I smell a sig bet.

Lets not get too worked up. He's thrown a lot of innings and minus a couple starts has been good in Winston Salem.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 06:29 AM) The Itrip seems to be good for some, and not so good for others. I completely agree on the Ipod volume with the Itrip, 75-80 percent is about as high as you can go without getting crackles in your signal. The station I use pretty much all of the time is 87.9. It seems to be unused pretty much everywhere, and I never have problems with the signals. Typically if you live in or around major cities, the itrip isn't very good. I know out where I am they don't really recommend it (this was told to me from a couple people at the Apple store) and actually told me to just go buy one of those tape deck connectors becasue you get a lot better quality. Went to target and picked one up for under 5 bucks and it works awesome. Also, just to restate what Boz said, make sure you don't have your ipod on full volume when you are using one of the car things. You don't get good sound. Turn it down a little bit and than just use the car volume the rest of the time.

Young is the man. Another nice night for Owens as well.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 4, 2005 -> 08:54 PM) Neal Cotts has the greatest turnaround from one year to the next of any Sox player in recent memory. I'd think Konerko 2003 and Konerko 2004 would be right there as well.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 08:39 AM) How do you: A. Know how much under the sticker to shoot for? B. Come off like you are in control of the situation? C. Translate haggling to monthly lease price? Shoot for invoice and than if the company offers rebates you get them on top of roughly invoice price on the vehicle. To find invoice price go to www.carsdirect.com

Sweet stuff fellas. Anything we can do as admins to help out yahtzee, just ask me and I'll do my best.

I'm starting to wonder if BA is hyping velocity again here. They seem to indicate that he can get it up to the mid 90's with ease if he needs to. Not saying he pitches consistently there. I've heard he still has a lot of work left on his chaneup, but that it has the potential to turn into a 3rd good pitch. He's supposed to get a lot of movement on his FB and his hook is nasty. I'm still going to take a wait and see approach because he doesn't have what you call an effortless delivery and could be one of those guys you project to have injuries and durability issues. However, its not like he's totally skinny either. One thing he seems to have is the intangibles of pitching. I've heard a lot of things about his poise and maturity on the mound and how much it impresses opposing managers and scouts.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 10:18 PM) 2 is false... So true on #2. Its why Tyrone was fired. I really was impressed though. Run defense looked strong and offensively the team looked like it was capable of. However, Pitt isn't exactly known for their strong defense so it will be a major test next week against Michigan. UM has a very strong offense and Henne will definately put a lot of pressure on a young, untested ND secondary. At the same time Michigan didn't look all that grand in their victory this week so it should be a pretty exciting game. ND definately has to cut down on some of its penalties, but they were the type of penalties that can be easily cleaned up and you know Weiss won't tolerate those type of mistakes. All in all I don't think Weiss 1st game could of went any better. At the same time, thats probably the easiest foe ND has in the next couple weeks.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 05:22 PM) f*** YES IRISH Heck ya, that was a fun game to watch. Offense really looked good and the defense did its job.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) I wish that statement were true Jas....I'm guessin you mean BG though. Ya, I'm just a little retarded and hungover.
