QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 20, 2008 -> 07:06 PM) In Steve's defense, his prediction hinged on LT playing. Technically, he did play (got hurt later) but probably wouldn't have been that much of a difference. Point is, it takes balls and is a mistake (not smart) to bet against NE. Pratt's been saying that from the get-go. It looks like only Farve (mind you GB and NY are still playing now) stands in Brady's way.

Steve's prediction was 10x worse than mine. Least I could say mine through the Colts beating the Pats or a SD upset.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 10:11 PM) Thefolosha makes some bad turnovers on offense it seems but he is a great defender, was breaking Baron Davis's legs all night the other day, and gets a lot of rebounds. When Kirk gets back... I might like a starting lineup of Thabo with him. I got home late today, but I did catch the 4th quarter and Kirk was playing tonight. What an effort by Noah (aka Tyson part II with a higher b-ball IQ) n Sefo whose really been comming on. He's still improving n shuting up his critics. He's been damn good the last few games. We probably will see some more Sefo. Duhon got injured n it could be serious.

This team is on a mission.

Lang 0-4 career in shootouts gets the GW. Wow.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) Man, I'm not trying to be Mr. Badass. Take it easy. You were wrong, you're still wrong, and if you want to talk about it, do so IN the NBA thread instead of bringing it up in here. Nice of you to repeat my post. Ugh... Ima PM you in a few on what I'm talking about here. We'll talk in private. But usually I would just watch any other game. It feels strange for me to watch hockey games. I'll PM you about this as well.

JD would need to have a MONSTER year (ala 06) to put up those numbers.

How good has Kane been lately? Nice pass by Havlet. 1-0 Hawks.

QUOTE(Pants Rowland @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 07:24 PM) Sorry. I misread the original comment. As far as my avatar goes... http://youtube.com/watch?v=KwSOx_FYZkc Enjoy. P.I.M.P

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 07:23 PM) Don't know if that's exactly fair to just state that you figured out sometimes I just don't "get it" when half of Bulls nation would agree with me and presumably more. The Bulls giving up on Tyson at 23 so they could sign an old guy whom they wanted to do the exact same thing but for 5 mill more per year is still rather questionable. No doubt Tyson has benefited from Chris Paul, and it was also understandable that Paxson wanted to get Wallace from the Pistons to take us to the next level. I was just saying that I adored Tyson and didn't really understand the move, and it's looking like (regardless if Paul is on his team or not), Chandler is the much more valuable commodity as he continues to grow into his body. Please do not turn this thread into an NBA thread. If you wanna be mr. badass smart guy, then re-up the post in the NBA thread or PM me and we'll talk about it. (I will obviously say your wrong in that aspect, other than saying what I posted about Paul in your second paragraph) You do know your hockey, which is why I thanked you n others in my post. I want to learn more about the game, players, etc. Just drop the b.s.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) How is Miranda not in that Top 10? And I have a really hard time putting a 16-year-old in the Top 10. I wonder how much BA actually knows about the kid. Yea I believe it was Bureau who put it best that BA might only get one pick right which is obvious (possibly/sometimes the first two) but after that it's basically moot. IMHO, the two guys in the quote in my sig based on potential, should/would be well up there. (I'm not even counting Griffith or Silverio)

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 06:57 PM) No -- you make the same stupid ass comments time and time again. I could care less that it's Krush -- it's when unreasonable people like yourself start insinuating and looking for stuff that isn't there. You have a history of doing this exact same thing -- is it that difficult to be a reasonable person? Apparently so... So yes -- get a f***ing clue. Understandable. Steve, your an awsome poster n you do know your sports but sometimes you don't "get it" (kinda figured that out when I was trying to explain to you the Tyson C. debate, but just didn't bother anymore cuz you weren't getting it.) But I gotta thank all of you guys for your knowledge on hockey especially considering I'm just learning the game and really wasn't into it/hated the game until this season (mostly thanks to the young guys) So Andrew, Keith, Tony, Steve, Jeff, Mike etc.. etc.. on this board in this hockey thread.... thank you.

QUOTE(ROC Sox Fan @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 08:25 PM) I woke up in a girl's bed last semester and she told me I got up and peed on her chair in the middle of the night. Apparently that wasn't any reason not to let me back in her bed though. Don't get black out drunk. Happens to the best of us bro. I once blacked out (was high as well) peed on myself and some random chick who was passed out earlier, a "friend" of mine peed in a 40 and I basically drank it, threw up in my friend's car, got into a fight (I forgot why) made out with a chick (...giggady and discusting for her hehe) passed out, woke up in her bed (I thought I did the deed) and I saw another girl by my leg (thought it was a hellova night) then looked again n it wasn't a girl. It was some rocker dude with long hair who my friends tease me and said he played with my pee-pee. I proceded to throw-up one last time. (Two other people got arrested that night but thats another story.) Best and worst night/party of my life. (it's been... 4 years now, I was 17) I got a couple of other crazy ones though. QUOTE(hi8is @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 11:24 AM) welcome back to soxtalk posting fun with hi8is lol When the hell are we gonna drink man? I gotta buy you a drink sometime, then we breed with Katy... fo eva.

QUOTE(gbuk @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 07:50 PM) Now for a legit post since I don't watch too much of the Bulls, how much has Tyrus been playing since the Boylan era began? Dude should definitely get a bunch of PT, clearly one of the best options down low. Really not much (you could say that for most of the young kids from the shortened rotation) but him mostly. It's a damn shame cuz to me he's fun to watch. He's still raw though in his game so he's non-existant down low but it will come in time if he puts in the work. I'm one of the biggest (if not the biggest, defend his ass alot) on the board so it's coo to see another fan of his.

We have an Ozzie Guillen sighting.

QUOTE(gbuk @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 07:38 PM) Your protege that's who. And I'm ya daddy nugga. This game needs more Tyrus though but Sefo is lookin damn good.

QUOTE(StatManDu @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 07:23 AM) AT U.S. CELLULAR FIELD (AND BEYOND), IT WILL COUNT 2003: Major League Baseball announced that the winning league in the annual All-Star Game will receive homefield advantage in that season’s World Series. Owners unanimously approved the proposalafter the 2002 All-Star Game ended in an embarrassing tie in Commissioner Bud Selig’s hometown of Milwaukee. The 2003 All-Star Game at U.S. Cellular Field -- the first hosted by the Sox since 1983 – would be the first game played under these rules. The American League won the game at “the Cell” the following July. Very good stuff right here. Completely forgot we were the first.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 01:24 PM) Skiles was fired on Dec 24. Your comment was on Dec 31. PWN3D

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 01:17 AM) Sounds like Wallace needs to go. Now. Let him go elsewhere and play half-ass. I agree, even though alot of people/the average fan will blame Noah cuz the kid can't keep his name out of the paper even if he's right in this situation. (Wallace & Joe Smith laughing/joking around during a blowout) Ben Gordon's quote isn't exactly trilling either. Hopefully Pax is taking notice. Oh, and dammit Boylan play the kids more.

Hawk was on ESPN radio bout a week ago and even HE said Detroit is better. Pretty decent interview. Hopefully Contreras has the whole divorce situation resolved and pitch well for us this season.

QUOTE(BaseballNick @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) I'd love to believe you, but if what you say is true, then how do you explain Rick Porcello slipping past us last year? I really hope that a change of personel (who even knows if Porcello was ranked higher than Poreda on their board due to our s***ty/questionable picks over the years excluding Fields) from us can maybe make us do things differently or if Jerry/KW can put up with Bora$ (both unlikely) but we will see. I doubt a talent like Pedro will even be available to us even with Bora$ as his agent, but if he is, we better take him even if he doesn't sign. (get the same draft slot next year) I'm kinda excited to see how the changes we made in the farm system pan out and see if can rebuild the farm and have a future.

Swisher was the main example of the book. Hopefully he didn't "get an edge" in the minors/majors. I'm still surprised Beane traded one of his last/main Moneyball player(s). Supposedly, Street and Chavez will be next.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) Nah. New England and its fans are already charging tickets to Arizona, as they should. Your right. IMO, the Colts were the only team that could've gave them a run for their money. One of the rare teams that played them very well in the season despite losing. (Pats beat SD by 4 TDs) But like they say, the playoffs is a different situation so we'll see. We'll see if Steve's prediction is correct.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 01:47 PM) Except, you know, I'll be correct. We'll see. Your prediction is no better than mine was. I've learned my lesson on trying to play with fire even though historically on this board, I've been damn good in predictions. In a way I was right though. The Colts shocked the world by getting a SD upset (w/o LT and Rivers esp. late) Now I'm just trying to find excuses.
