I'm a fan of a tall frothy Black and Blue. The Guinness and Blue Moon work well together.

Very slim chance, in my opinion, but you never know.

Knowing what color jersey your teammates are wearing is important.

I couldn't believe how bad the Bears looked last night.

Unless things change, the Bears will have a tough time making the playoffs.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 07:26 AM) Albert Pujols? Okay, sure, but he's not available.

Every week I'm happier and happier that I'm a Steelers fan.

You may get your wish if they can get their O-line up to snuff.

I would take KW's word on this. Unless there's someone he can't pass up on that would require trading Danks or Floyd, I don't see it happening. And realistically, is there anyone out there worth pursuing that hard?

I haven't traveled for Thanksgiving in a long time. Actually, the last time I did, we drove to North Carolina eight years ago. Long-ass drive with a 3 month old. This year, we're going to Columbus the day after Thanksgiving for my daughter's Irish Dance competition. So, I'll test the 6-hour drive with three kids this time.

Unlikely that this thread can be stopped.

Some, myself included, may be perplexed by the last dozen posts or so.

Zero championships for them, I assume?

Xavier is usually playing in the NCAA tournamant.

Bears need to have their SEASON overturned.

I think JD is making a mistake by saying he won't play at DH. I suppose there are a few teams that will seek him out to play RF (or 1st as he says), but there would be more team (White Sox included) that would consider him at DH.

Boston declined the Varitek's option (although he can stay with the team if he agrees to the club option of $3 million). Would he be a candidate for a back-up?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 08:24 AM) Moroccan coffee, with frothy pan-steamed milk and, cinnamon, cuman, a little black pepper and a good dose of sugar, is a nice treat. Sadly, most days it is instant, but at least it's Bustello or Pilon. Oh my, that does sound like a treat. Pardon my double "o" post.

Long time ago I worked in a coffee shop and was able to try many different types. Sumatra has always been one of my favorites.

I need to frequent Binny's more often. I get overwhelmed when I go in there and lose my concentration. I need to go in with a list of beers I want to try. I have tried O'Fallon's Smoked Porter. That is one tasty beer.

The last thing I am is an expert on our minor league system. I pretty much read what's posted here and get my info from that. I like the idea of Danks2 coming up and pulling a Beckham, but do we really think the Sox will strike gold two years in a row? Maybe...hopefully. I like the idea of signing a veteran who can be had for the cash the Sox are willing to spend, and then let Danks take the Path of Beckham through AA and AAA. By doing that, we might have a better idea if Danks is the real deal.
