Bulls Vs. Spurs
They got it done to 7 and made it interesting but Gordon is turning the ball over left and right, despite the fact he's at least shooting decent this quarter. He's got a long way to go before he's a good NBA player. Its 6 right now early in the 4th.

Honel rediscovers his attitude
Very encouraging sign, it would be great to get the old Kris Honel back, but I'm not gonna count on it with just one outing. I'm encouraged at least a bit because I think a large part of his issues last year were mental.

Bulls Vs. Spurs
The 1st quarter was probably one of the best played quarters by the Bulls all year and the 2nd was well, forgettable. Of course there seemed to be some really tick-tack foul calls. Bulls are in trouble though and its too bad because I think they match up well against the Spurs. I still think they could battle back into this, but Hinrich, Curry and Chandler are going to have to play careful basketball and thats not good considering how Parker is driving all over them and Duncan is gonna be able to take advantage of two big men that are gonna be protective.

LB andf WR adressed thru FA?
Supposedly they made an offer to Ike Reese yesterday although the Eagles also want to retain him.

Willie to Milwaukee rumor
Personally i think it would be absolutely foolish for the Sox to deal Harris. Considering you could have Crede struggle at 3rd or Iguchi struggle at 2nd or even an injury Harris is what I'd deem a valuable asset since I fully believe he's capable of starting at 2nd base and that may happen. Plus he had a .360 or so OBP against righties last year.

FutureSox Top 25 Prospects: 21-25
Ya, that 50 was absolute hell, especially since you guys had to deal with me cause I'm a royal pain in the ass in regards to being so slow at getting stuff formatted. Looking forward to next time around Cerb, missed not having your normal insight on this one. Of course there was plenty of debate coming up with the numbers.

Soxtalk Keeper League
I figured early morning not many people have plans. Cause its tough to make it work for everyone. Anyway, Porzio's keepers are: Prior Tejada Beltre Carl Crawford On a sidenote, for those that won't be there for the draft, I'm gonna have a whole keeper list done tonigth and you need by hand move those guys away from your pick list so you don't auto draft them.

Soxtalk Keeper League
League has been filled and I'm gonna make a list of the keepers for every team nad post them so hopefully I have everyones minus the few players that will be straight drafting. I need to do this to ensure that I can figure out away around the accidental draft by someone not there.

What restaurant would you eat from everyday?
Cheesecake Factory. Don't go there much but every once in a while I do and its so damn good. They have a whole book of af menu to so you could get something different pretty much everyday. I'd be a real fatass though after a few weeks of that.

Soxtalk Keeper League
Would you guys prefer that? Then we can do it at whatever time possible. We got to decide by Saturday. I really have no problem with that. Actually regardless we should do it that way, but we have to make sure everyone is there because there is no auto draft feature.

more on harris rumor
QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) This sentence pissed me off What? Willie Harris gets on base at a .360 clip vs. righties, and can steal bases. Timo Perez? how is this guy blocking Willie? He hardly broke the Bowa Barrier last year vs. righties(.264/.301/.368)... I railed on the need to get a platoon partner for willie in the off-season. After all he's terrible vs. LHP. (.186/.234/.233) Yet, demonstrating his prodigious ability in outmaking, Timo is even more inept in that department too(.154/.201/.191) Timo blocking Willie! What a f***ing joke.

Fox News Spawns Hate for Canada
Oh man, funny ass picture. And Kip, don't be shocked if you like O'Reilly. As far as I'm concerned he does a lot to just try and be unbiased so to speak. I enjoy the show but sometimes I think hes so freaking wrong. I only watch this stuff on ocassion though because if you watch everyday during a week you basically hear the same crap over and over. Oh ya, and Greta on FoxNews is absolutely god awful. My life would be complete if I never had to see another glimse of her awful show. I had how all she focuses on is the stupid trials in america. Who gives a rat ass about all these celebrity trials???? I sure as hell don't.

Long local rant
Geeze, I bashed my school a lot, but in reality I can't complain. It set me up to exceed in life and while it, like all schools, has its problems, its nowhere like what your describing Mike. Really sucks to see the place you've grown up in fall apart because people are looking at numbers and quotas in regards to graduation numbers and not making sure high school does what its supposed. My long argument if I ever took over the educational system would not be to piss more money into the system but to restructure it more in the way of Europe or even parts of Asia where its simply a building block to the next step whether that be trade schools or college. I'm sick of the crap being fed down every kids throat that they all need to go to an ivy league school to be sucessful or whatever. I went to a state school and as of now there are jobs all over the place for me to get. Hell school needs to get back on teaching people and making sure that students at the end of the semester have learned things that they will need later on. Obviously you got to teach some of that retarded boring stuff that interests some and not others, but still, people have to be gaining something out of it and of course the parents have to be involved in there kids lives as well. Luckily where I live most of the parents actually give a damn and I think that helps. When parents are volunteering and putting in effort then the teacher isn't stuck alone in a sense.

LB andf WR adressed thru FA?
No 6-7 mill is the number without the money thats set aside for the rookie so thats 6-7 mill to spend on FA's. However, Gold is nowhere near a 4 mill a year linebacker, plus the Bears can't tie up that much money. I'm not saying Gold wouldn't be a good pickup but the Bears have to be smart with that money. Vet OT, vet WR, vet QB. Thats the three needs and you can also include vet OLB on that list, however, they may fill that need with Johnson. At the same time, if they pick up all these spots, it all but guarantees Ronnie Brown/Ced Benson in Chicago.

Update from ST
I wouldn't count out Willie yet. He's gonna be a good major leaguer.

Soxtalk Keeper League
The only other option would be for us to change the draft to like an AIM draft and then I can enter in everyones picks. However I'll look in the tools and see if I can make it where certain guys can't get picked or something.

MVP Baseball 2005
I'm still royally sucking ass at hitting. However, I was able to get my first double digit hit performance, but I failed to score any runs, LOL. I did a fantastic job hitting into 7 double plays and then getting myself thrown out twice at the plate, haha. I even cut every freaking player that makes any money to get my team on budget to make 17 million in the first year. They better cause I'll need that money to make my minor league stadium bigger. I still can't buy myself a hotdog stand.
