Punt the lists to one of us who expressed an interest in pitching in on beer summaries and we can figure out how to share info and rate picks. That's what I was thinking. We can still create a list, and some of us could find a new beer to try.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 01:51 AM) The Road was a great movie but horribly depressing. Definitely gets you thinking though. Highly recommended. Great acting all around. I agree. I read the book first, and I found that the movie follows it almost exactly. Extremely depressing, but fantastic.

Ha! It is a very effective filter!

f**ottist is a word meaning bassoon player...how unfortunate.

Caught up with Terriers last night. That show gets better every week.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 11, 2010 -> 04:21 PM) I want Miranda Cosgrove. Until JD realizes he's a DH and only a DH he will stay unemployed. At first I was thinking you wanted Miranda Cosgrove to play for the Sox. Then I got what you were driving at...and I agree.

So he turned down a $3 million deal from the Cubs? Was he saying he didn't want to play for the Cubs or didn't want to play for "only" $3 million? He might be worth a $1 million signing as long as he doesn't mind playing a lot of DH.

Right now I would say Danks. If Peavy comes back healthy, however, he could be up there.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 11, 2010 -> 08:40 AM) So are we submitting Sam Adams or the particular type of Sam Adams I have three different Sam Adams beers on my list. A regular Sam Adams is their Boston Lager, but they have another dozen+ beers that are available, including some seasonal ones.

List submitted. I agree that I could have listed 100 beers. I looked at my top 20 in ratebeer.com and found that most of them many people probably never heard of. So, I tried to include some well known ones that I still really enjoy. I still would be surprised if my #1 or #2 are on many other lists.

I caught up with Sons of Anarchy last night. Great episode. I like seeing Kenny Johnson get some more episode time. I liked his character in The Shield...I hope Tig eventually lets him patch over.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 04:56 PM) I think I'm going to post my list here also...it's not yet set in stone though. I won't add anything I haven't had yet, but I'm trying to figure out what I'm obviously missing. Edited by Balta1701 to remove my list These are high on my list.

Go for it. I like the idea, however, of separating out the "what if" threads vs. the news-worthy threads.

I was thinking about this, and I checked my ratebeer.com reviews to come up with my top 10 or so. I'm up to 390 reviews, and I probably have 20 or so that I've rated excellent. But, some of those are not beer that I regularly drink. I think a beer like Blue Moon will make my list even though it's lower than the top 20 of my reviews. This is going to a time-consumer. Maybe I'll have to go pick up a few to "re-taste"...you know just to make sure my list is accurate.

I'm game for a beer list.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) I think this is a good signing. Kotsay provides a decent bat off the bench and can fill in at 1B and the corner OF positions. Hell, he'd be great as the left-handed side of a rotating DH!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 09:20 AM) Unless it isn't the question Very deep.

Mods, feel free to merge this thread with another, but I couldn't decide where to put it. Anyway, the MLBTR writers predicted where the top 50 free agents will go. Not surprisingly the Yankees and Angels are mentioned numerous times for the top few. The Sox are mentioned only twice. Three of the five writers predict Konerko and Damon. I suppose I'd be okay with that, but it doesn't plug every hole. I'd love to see KW make a splash and grab Crawford or Dunn or one of top 5.

Jolly ol' St. Nick will be here soon.

Does anyone else watch The Good Wife? Pretty good show that does a decent job working in Chicago politics.

Ha. I just saw that, too. Sigh of relief.

This better not be true...

Johnny Damon

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 8, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) He won this award on opening day. I'm not joking. I agree. He's a great defensive pitcher, but that play was ridiculous.
