  1. Soxtalk did my taxes and now the government is sending me a car. An Audit the paper said... The "T" is silent you know.
  2. QUOTE(Bonderman38 @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 04:19 PM) Jair Jurrjens is starting for the Tigers tomorrow against Cleveland on ESPN. He's got a ton of talent. I heard that Detroit scouted him off of his sheep farm in Iceland.
  3. QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 12:19 PM) Why risk $ 7 mil. on having this kid for 4 years and beyond when you could risk $ 30 mil. on Contreras for 3 of his old age years. "Mmmmm... The sarcasm is strong in this one."

  5. Mariano Rivera just met his replacement last night. mms://a1503.v108692.c10869.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/1503/10869/v0001/mlb.download.akamai.com/10869/2007/open/tp/archive08/081307_balnya_chamberlain_reel_tp_350.wmv?ct3=-1&ct4=mlb&ct5=14-Aug-07
  6. QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 09:09 AM) I highly doubt Fields hasn't earned a starting spot somewhere on the 2008 team. I don't like his defense at third... but LF is where I hope to see him. +1 Someone hasn't been paying attention. This looks like an article from like, June with Richar added in.
  7. That's understandable. Minnesota is chok-ful-a Grinderiness. Grinderstad would send them over the legal limit.
  8. I do. Is this person a man or woman?

    QUOTE(Soxy @ Aug 12, 2007 -> 02:23 PM) I saw La Vie en Rose yesterday, it's a biopic of French singer Edith Piaf. I feel like if I had known more about her before going into the movie I would have enjoyed it a lot more. She lead a pretty interesting life here's a brief summary: Her father was a circus performer, but who then had to leave to fight in WWI. During that time she was left with her mother, who was a drunk and didn't care for her. Her father returns and leaves Edith with his mother who runs a brothel. For the next bit of her life Edith is raised by prostitutes. She gets sick, goes blind, the prostitutes take her to a shrine to St. Theresa, whom she prays to, Edith's sight is restored. Her father comes back, takes her and she grows up travelling with the circus. Her father leaves the circus to become a street performer, and Edith sings with him in their street act. She has a kid who dies of meningitis. She is later discovered, becomes a cabaret singer (only after dating a pimp who tries to force her into prostitution). Her boss/mentor on the cabaret circuit is murdered by the mob (and her pimp boyfriend is suspected to be involved as is Edith). By this time she has a large drinking problem. She then becomes a proper singer, she comes to America, becomes a huge success. She meets a world champion french boxer (who is married) and they fall in love. She calls him desparate to fly to America to be with her, he does, but the plane crashes and he is killed. She gets in a car accident and becomes addicted to morphine. She died pretty early and looking really awful. The movie was well done--but it dragged on a bit. But the music was amazing! I had never heard of Piaf, and the singing was just incredible. I loved it. Wow. You'd think someone would have made a country music song about that plot by now.

    Spiderman 3 ... Not impressed at all. It felt like they took 3 movies and hit the fast forward button every 15 minutes in order to get it under 2 1/2 hours.
  12. His other auction is a box of Der Herr Salzig Brezeln circa 1765.
  13. It'd taste like dirt mixed with old rotten sweatsocks probably.
  14. QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 06:34 PM) I give the Sox a 50/50 chance of finishing .500 for the year, or half of it. 60% of the time, that works EVERY TIME!
  15. QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 08:49 AM) what the heck do I know about dicks?
  16. I'd love to be confident and say "yes". But they're just way too inconsistant.

  18. QUOTE(WCSox @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 12:56 PM) Milo Hamilton (Astros) is also one of the best play-by-play guys in the business. I wish that the Sox could steal him and move Farmer back to color. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Hamilton
  19. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 02:11 PM) He isn't being recalled to hit a bunch of singles, they're calling him up to knock the s*** out of the ball. His 32 HR were near tops in the minors. They should go get Borchard then.

  21. If he's batting .267 in AAA, he's going to have trouble hitting .230 in the majors.
