And he pissed away the Hawkeyes season. Stupid jackass...let him rot in prison.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 08:14 PM) Because, it's a good discussion. Don't like it, no need to enter the thread. The Sox don't have to pay a second round pick or a supplamental pick, unlike the past two years, where they've had to spread the money out between the first round picks (Anderson and Fields) and the supplemental picks (Sweeney/Gonzalez/Whistler or Lumsden -- one of the two was a supp, IIRC). The kid's a top ten talent -- IMHO. We can really use some guys up the middle. Why not? I'm a fan of Drew, but his attitude is a definate question mark. I've long said I'd grab Weaver (I love pitchers) but as far as SS goes, I'd look at Long Beach State's shortstop. My buddies have said he's pretty damn good (I've never watched him that much) but he's supposed to be a lot like bobby Crosby and would be easier to sign. Then in the 3rd and 4th rounds I'd tend to draft those talents that have slid and give them more like 2nd round money. I'd rather see the Sox draft guys they can sign quickly and get into camp than someone like Drew who still may not sign. If they could owrk out a deal beforehand or at least have a price range figured out, fine, but thats not going to happen with Boras. Draft a guy you like in the 1st round..he'll get a mill to 2 mill bonus (probably right in the middle) and then in the 3rd and 4th or even another round later draft a guy that has slid and snag him and give him 2nd round money (700-900k). You'll get 3 highly rated guys as opposed to one.

He signed a contract with an independent league team called the Camden Riversharks.

Thats sweet blacksox..its now on as my wallpaper.

Alright, I'm thinking FutureSox needs some wallpapers. If I could get together enough action shots would someone be willing to make a few wallpapers for some of the Sox top prospects?

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) Yah I kind of want a deeper explanation as to why Jason didn't like it. He mentioned the special effects but I thought it was the characters that were the stars, especially Mickey Rourke. I thought the effects were the only thing worth while. I thought the acting was piss poor (and they had all those big name stars) and the story was even stupider. There was absolutely no point to the movie. I was hoping the story would go somewhere or that something would happen..but alas nothing and they even did a pretty shoddy job tying it all in. It was just a HORRID film. You couldn't give me 10 bucks to go watch it again.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) I have not seen it yet but i find it hard to believe it is the worst movie you have ever seen. I sure as hell know it won't be the worst movie i have ever seen and i watch at least two movies a day. Too many good things have been said about it to be that bad. Every place has it at the very worst an 8 out of 10. Trust me when I say every place is dead wrong. I haven't seen many movies this bad. Only one that would even go along with it would possibly be Ladykiller or whatever it was. That movie was even stupider. Usually movies at least have some sort of niche going for them but aside from some decent graphics this movie had the stupidest plot and story ever. Maybe its cause I'm not a comic book person, I don't know, but I know I was shocked when I saw how many people talk about how great it is.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:42 PM) The action was fantastic in HOFD, probably on par with Hero so I guess there was just really something about the Hero story that got to me. I'd also like to think that the romance wasn't the reason I didn't like the story in HOFD, but it probably was. I know it was for me. I just thought of it as stupid, LOL. On a sidenote, I've been growing tempted to start a site on my film reviews. I mean I could save people big bucks telling them what movies are garbage. Hell, they could just pay me the 9 bucks instead of going to the films

I've never figured out how players chewed tobacco or did dip. But ya I used to always have seeds, but I'd only do it while in the field, but if I were pitching or hitting or running the bases I wouldn't have em. I thought I'd choke or something

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) Yah I saw House of Flying Daggers, great disapointment for me in comparison to Hero. But I should have expected it as Hero is one of my favorites of all time. HEro was a really cool movie. I remember as the movie progressed It just kept getting better and better in my mind until I the end when I just said Damn that was a great movie. I was hoping House of Flying Daggers would too, but it never happened.

Steff I'm really sorry to hear that. It really sucks losing a pet...I think all pet owners will understand when I say a pet is a family member. I remember when my dog died it was one of the saddest days in my life. We had it from when I was 4 or 5 years old. I remember the damn dog used to run around and chase me and whenever I got home it would run over, knock me over (remember I was small and my dog was quite large) and would just start licking my face. Pets are awesome and it will suck but you'll always have the memories Steff. Very sad news though..all the best to you.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) you must be talking about "million dollar baby..." Haven't seen that. I did just watch sideways and thought to myself "ehhh". It was way overhyped. It was just a neurtic movie that was rather stupid (but I didn't have any interest in it to begin with). I think I was too young for the humor or something. Although my dad says he's old and there wasn't any humor. Hell the best movie I've seen this year is Kung Foo Hustle. Saw that this past weekend, fantastic. Just an enjoyable movie. On another movie sidenote, House of Flying Daggers was ehh (not near as good as Crouching Tiger or Hero).

I'm into red vines. Just had like 10 of them while watching the Bulls game. But gummie bears are also damn good. Still, I'll take reeses over any of em.

As pathetic as it is, me and my friends are gonna have a small kick back soley for Family Guy (were pathetic people, LOL).

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) I just found some information at: http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article90.php The main problem is the size of the house, but apparently that shouldn't be a problem. Me thinks I'm an idiot and need to reset the defaults on the router before the expander will work. *stupid question alert* using a cable to connect the main PC to the router shouldn't effect the router's ability to broadcast to the house, right? How about XP SP1 compatibility with XP SP2? Will that effect network connections? Nah you should be good in that regards. Good luck getting it to work in that big of a house though. The expander should help, but make sure you have the main router in the middle of the house and go from there (also upstairs if you have the opportunity). My dads place is pretty big, but what made it worse were the phones as well as the fact that the router is in my room which is downstairs on the far opposite end of where my sisters and step moms computers are. Also just know that they bulls*** a whole lot in temrs of the range and good luck with that range thing. I've been told by my uncle (who does network stuff and all this other computer crap for a living) that the expanders don't work like half of the time. They just have trouble syncing in. Hell when I called linksys (I think it was them) to ask them what was up with there product they recommended me waiting for some new product to come out (the router with the build in range extender) because they even admitted the range extenders had a lot of trouble. Hopefully you got one that works though. The next time I try to set up a network I hoep to hell the new N networks are out cause those will be way badass.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) I spent all day setting up a wireless network in a 10,000 sq/ft house. I'm still not done due to all the hallways, multiple floors and funny angles. Anyone have experience "wi-fi-ing" an office or house? I'm using this for the main computer: Wireless Router 54GS and these in two other pcs: Wireless PCI 54GS and this to "bounce" the signal upstairs and down a hall: Wireless Expander "repeater" any tips would be appreciated For us we had to use the new belkin one. THe computers are far away and there is a lot of interference from phone lines and everything else. And the expanders worked horrid. It took me like 4 different tries and the belkin blows all of the other ones away. It wasn't cheap though, but we didn't need a range expander or anything so it ended up being a little less (plus comp USA has deals every once in a while). Although you may have better luck, we have 2.4 GHZ phones in our house and that messes with the network as well. If we had the 5 GHZ or whatever they are it would of worked easier.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) how bout they put in stories that all flow together this time. would make the perfect movie if acting, etc. is same... You mean actually make it a movie...nah...that won't happen, so many people rave about the 1st one which was total GARBAGE.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=7308 Hopefully this is true. I'll make sure to stay far away from that theatre. SinCity was singlehandedly the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life. I've seen some bad movies (and a lot of movies) and my god was it HORRID. People talk about the effects and ya they were cool, but the film was s***, absolute s***.

Hell, I didn't even know they were adding another game.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 08:02 PM) Funny thing is i still see enough people that want him either fired or don't think he the right coach for the bulls to ever win a championship with. What the bulls should be looking to do and i expect it to come this off-season is resigning him for three or four years. I guarantee you the Bulls will be giving more then one long term contract this summer

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) so i really didnt expect the bulls to play so well and be up 2-0 coming into the series but skiles really had these guys ready to come out and as we can see the coaching is making a big difference for us so far Plus just look at the adjustments they seem to make every game. He must be one hell of a coach, especially when it comes to adjusting the game plan to the way the opponent is playing. Its easier though when he has a team that will listen to him and buys into his philosphy (which is tremendous). I f***ing love this team. I know they won't win it all, but part of me likes this team more then the glory years bulls, simply because they bust their asses (then again those Bulls teams always gave it there all). Its just been so long and finally its another winner!!!! I can't wait to watch this team go through the motions and build up. Hopefully they can pick up a game in Washington, but this series is still going to be tough. The Bulls are off to a nice start though.

Fantastic game minus the 1st quarter and damn was Hinrich good. Everytime I would start getting nervous in the 4th...bam he'd nail a jumper. Along with Kurt, I got to give credit to AD, Adrian Griffin, and Pargo who all played tremendous and Noc played hard nose as usual. Damn I'm loving this team. Go get em in Washington
