QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) It really sucks that the bears wasted their second round pick on Tank last year -- I think that Jonathan babineaux could end up being a steal in the DT spot. Babineaux definately has a real good initial burst. Made great strides since shifting positions.

Personally I think the media is completely blowing that incident out of proportion. If they want to talk about Moss, talk about him walking off the field the week before with 2 seconds left against the Redskins. Don't talk about him celebratin after two touchdown dances. I also love how the media fails to mention a Packer tradition in which many of the fans moon the bus as it leaves lambeu following a Packer victory. Moss was just giving a little back and its not like he mooned him. Personally I thought it was actually one of the few times I had some respect for Moss, who while amazingly talented is an assclown, but this past playoff game isn't the reason he's an assclown, imo.

I don't know if you can buy them in advance or not, for some reason I think it can only be a couple days in advance or something along those lines. But you can get the deal either online or at the box office if I recall. Of course someone will quickly post exact details.

I don't use the ignore feature and never will use the ignore feature. That being said its a great feature for those people that just can't get along with a particular poster.

Was I one of the only people who really enjoyed the first two remakes? The first one was a little slower then the original star wars but it kind of had to set the story. I really liked the 2nd but the 3rd one is going to be quite dark and should be absolutely fantastic.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) I know most on this board would probably be in total disagreement with me, but if Kenny got a package of (just using an example) Byrnes, Dotel, and a highly-rated prospect, I'd definitely pull the trigger. Rowand is a solid player, but if some team would have been willing to really, really overpay for him, I'd definitely pull the trigger... Ya, thats the only deal I'd do with the A's and I doubt they would pull the trigger, but I like dotel and once again I like the idea of a strong bullpen and that would definately give the Sox that. But at the same time I like Rowand a ton and think were really just a starting 2nd baseman or shortstop away from having a FANTASTIC offseason.

Goldmember will be joining the admin/mod team on Soxtalk, specifically the SL&P forum. Goldmember has been nothing but a great poster since joining the site. He gets along with all posters, treats all posters with respect and will make an awesome mod. Welcome aboard Goldie

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) Well, this year it seems alot of teams are interested in rowand. Understandably. That stated and the fact the Sox hate arbitration and don't like to continue to arbitrate two years in a row, tells me that they could consider trading him. Its not a great situation but if they could get bynes, they could indeed trade arrow away for the pitcher or 2b they want. Who knows its total specuation. I believe I sense that KW is not done. It would be interesting if they acquired Byrnes and Octavio Dotel and were then able to deal Marte or another reliever for a middle infielder. I'd definately agree with that. But I think we both realize its quite unlikely, but with Kenny anything is possible (I mean that in a good way cause I truly think he's always open to finding new ways to make the team better and I love that, although its not panned out thus far I really think it will this year).

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) well next year he should start for the Barons and thats where we find out if he is the real deal... put up good power numbers there and your good enuf to me regardless if he is 24 or 25 or 26... late bloomers are ok with me they have more respect for the game when they get there chance. Thats the dillema. Obviously ROgo will be in Bham, but he may be playing outfield now or at least there is a good shot at that. Still I wonder how many at bats he'll get. I'm guessing he'll be nothing more then roster fodder for the minors, but you never know.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 08:01 PM) 10-9 at home. Damn Bulls announcers for saying 6-5...BOO, lol. By the way, I gotta give Harrington credit. I've b****ed plenty about him but he's stepping up when they really need it.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) Iguchi excites me, but KW and his agent are so far apart in negotiations, so I'm not optimistic. I think its all negotiating tactics by both sides. Iguchi will be playing with the Sox or he'll be playing in Japan.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) As i have speculated earlier in thread it could mean that the sox would trade Rowand. It seems they are at an impasse with his contract right now, and many teams like him. I am not saying I like it or saying it will happen. If they did sign byrnes, it reopens that door, for a garland and rowand trade to the D back for vasquez. For whatever reason KW is fixated on that guy. I am sure it won't happen. Whats the update on rowands contract? this is why it could happen. I'm guessing they will go to arb or get closer. Although they may of passed some deadline, but I doubt it. I only think that deadline applies to unrestricted free agents not free agents. Worse case the Sox will sign him to a one year deal now and then continue to work out an extension over the offseason.

Plus I really think Kenny loves Arow. YOu never know though, but if they deal Arow they better be getting one hell of a ballplayer in return.

Game over...Bulls win and are now 6-5 at home. Perfect timing too, 24 is just about to start

I should just add I get lazy and I have two jobs. One I don't work too often, the other is more my full time job, and once I had my boss (at my part time job) tell me to shave and I basically said why and he listened. Its not like I have a thick beard (not that it would matter) but I tend to get lazy. But I always get my job done and am one of the harder workers and he agreed. I just get pissed when anyone tells me what to do to be honest

Duhon just put the game away hitting an open three and giving the Bulls an 11 point lead with exactly 1 minute left.

Jesus, 6 point game with 1:30left. Thank goodness...Chandler just get an offensive put back making it an 8 point game and then the Bulls steal it on the following posession.

Things have gotten awful quiet. My guess is the Sox are close to adding another infielder. I bet it happens by Wednesday. My gut tells me it will be Iguchi, but it may just be Cora.

Not a big fan of a 24 year old 1st baseman still in A ball, but then again I'm a Rogowski fan so who knows if this guy is any good. Sounds like he has some offensive ability but god is he brutal defensively. I do agree that Prince has slowed his development. He's gotta be better then Brandon Bounds.

Just curious, but where the hell does ESPN think Byrnes is going to play? I don't know if anyone has mentioned that yet in this thread but with Spod, Rowand, and Dye the outfield is full and none of these guys can play anywhere else. If they acquire Byrnes either Spod is going elsewhere or they think Thomas is going to be out a while and plan on DH'ing Dye or something (I don't think thats the case). Sometimes I really wonder what the news media is thinking when they write rumors. I'm a Byrnes fan by the way and I'd like him here, its just not going to happen this year.

I demand a refund Goldie. You just ruined the movie for me....couldn't you of labeled this a spoiler Damn I'm looking forward to this movie. I think it may be the best star wars yet. I still am holding up that they decide to make Episodes 7,8, and 9.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) Anything is funny with the proper chemicals . . . Not true, I remember watching without a paddle with a nice buzz at the movie theatres thinking it would be hillarious...not so. All of us just stared blank at the screen utterly dissapointed. We figured drinking would be wise just in case it sucked...boy were we wrong. Another movie that would be that bad is Club Dread. I watched like 10 minutes of it on one of the movie channels the other day and good god did it suck.

Wowzers, Nocioni with 4:45 left in the 4th the Bulls get the first field goal of the quarter.
