Reddy

that's. awful. and i laughed.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) Yeah, no obvious truths allowed here. Nice sentiment there. Love you too, Reddy. ok come on now. its just this overwhelming sence of pessimism is really getting annoying. so it's ok to be pessimistic about the Sox, but when i'm annoyed at the pessimism that's not ok?

QUOTE(rcm4833 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) I'm sorry but I would much rather have their lineup than ours. I'd rather have Hafner than Thome. i dont like that as a first post... *sigh* i hate white sox fans...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) take it easy son.. sometimes people will misinterpret light-heartedness

QUOTE(hi8is @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 07:30 PM) letgogetanewnickname dont listen to him go AROW!

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) No one said you had to like him, believe he took steroids all you want.. I really dont care what your opinion is on it.. it makes sense to me and thats all that really matters No Im not saying that if there is no failed test then they have never taken steroids.. but if there is no failed test you cant prove s*** Just because my "logic" isnt the same as yours doesnt mean im wrong ok so what about the grand jury testimony... that was right out of bonds' mouth...

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 06:12 PM) Im probably the few who likes Barry. And why because yes he did use steroids but that only helps your power not your eye contact, he has to make contact with the ball in order to put the ball out of the yard. Regardless of his future hes one of the best hitters and will be a hall of famer. ok but even before the steroids he was ALWAYS a good hitter with a high average. So adding the steroids just added the homers - obviously. His higher average comes from the fewer at bats he gets over the course of a season - a direct result of the homers which are a direct result of the steroids... yes is is/was one of the best hitters but he will not be in the Hall. Rightly so.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) yeah, I noticed the same thing from where I was sitting. What happened to dye ? Where was crede? Did you see that fight? the fight was f***in hilarious i was thinking the same thing about crede/dye when cintron came up in the 10th i was like "Where's Joe Crede!?" we woulda won if he was there...

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) One game doesn't mean he's ready, no matter who he's facing. He was highly mediocre in AA last year. oh i know i know

QUOTE(bmags @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 05:27 PM) well the theory is when the steel was heated it expanded, detaching from the floors, which then collapsed, so the steel collapsed after the floors, as you seethe floors hitting and blowing out the windows sooner...i don't totally buy it though because of examples of high rise flyers that have happened before... I don't neccessarily think it was a gov't conspiracy at the WTC but i do think maybe the towers were infiltrated earlier. i'm not saying its a conspiracy either... but if it were infiltrated what does the government have to hide by not telling us? ya know? and with the pentagon... i dont buy that either... doesnt make any sense... that one to me is the weirdest - if it wasnt a plane... what was it? and who sent "it"? its a really intriguing question.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) Yeah, staff that's what I mean. Like I said long weird day. I didn't know that about state flags, I think I had heard it about Texas, but never really occurred to me. The thing that drives me batty is occassionally I've seen the US flag half staff and the state flag not, so it ends up being higher than the US flag. tex i've never heard 'half-staff' just 'half mast'.... interesting...

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 09:01 PM) The real difference between the two is that the Marlins have two All-stars in Cabrera and Dontrelle. I think the guys the Marlins are playing are a little more green than the Royals though, even if they are more talented. Ramirez especially should probably still be in AAA this year, instead he's batting leadoff. Their pitchers are also a giant mystery right now. he's also 4-5 w/ a double and 3 ribbies... who knows for sure. they wont be great, but they wont be the royals. i just think that they have such a good group of guys, even 4-5 years is long in my book, 2 or 3 and these kids will be kickin hard.

scored 10 runs of Andy Pettite today, currently leading 11-0 over Houston... Damn i'm glad i have Josh Willingham on a couple fantasy teams. But seriously, I think they have a shot - no not at winning - but at being a very good team, especially considering their average age is probably 23.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) I do have all the information, there is no failed test, and there is no PROOF that Bonds has taken steroids or he would have been suspended or banned from the league. There is a reason neither of those things have happened, they cant proove anything.. Like I said, if it comes out to be true and Bonds is PROVEN to have taken steroids I will gladly eat crow and you can flame me all you want.. The only person who knows 100% about it is Barry Bonds.. but I guess admitting to taking steroids is far worse than lying to a grand jury, losing everything, and going to Prison.. EDIT: Also, there are plenty of people that are in better shape now then they were in their early 20's.. You cant just assume that everyone is doing the same thing, people do work harder than other people.. out of pure curiosity what do you think about sammy and mark mcgwire?

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) Like I said, thats your own opinion.. If he fails a test, I will be the first one on here eating crow about it.. Feel free to blast me all you want, thats fine, but I dont agree with everyone elses opinion.. I dont need to read excerpts about people who write for a news paper claiming Bonds has taken steroids. There is no failed test, there is no proof aside from saying "Well he hits a lot of home runs and is big, hes on steroids" Thats all it ever is anymore.. Someone doesnt do good, they must be off steroids.. Someone does good, they must be on steroids.. Did it ever occur to anyone that 20+ years of personal training, growing, weight lifting, supplements.. The guys job is to take care of his body year round, has been for decades.. Its not as impossible as you make it seem to add that much bulk when you're in your upper 30s just through doing the same things as EVERYONE ELSE and to be in better shape at 41 than when you were 21 is not naturally possible... but see heres my point - there IS proof in Game of Shadows. thats why its such a huge f***ing deal. ok, and if you dont want to call it proof, it's the next closest thing to bonds just saying he took steroids. if you want to make informed opinions you should have all the information about a subject...

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) Barry Bonds IS A SNAKE ON A MOTHER f***ING PLANE! ps that made me laugh my ass off

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:11 PM) Why because people THINK that he has taken steroids? I should be banned for liking someone and not agreeing with other people? Makes sense.. Where is the failed test? There is none, and you know they have tested his ass on more than one occasion.. dude have you read that excerpt from Game of Shadows in SI? if not you should. he's a horrible person who needed to "be the best" whatever means necessary. He pumped himself up so full of HGH and all those others that he'll probably go the same route as Caminiti. He also had a way to avoid having his tests come out positive... again... in SI... Look at the numbers, look at his head, look at his body, it's OBVIOUS. i dont know what there is to even like about the guy at all... even if he didnt cheat i'd still not want him to break the records, he's a f***in jag.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) Thats just your opinion on him. I fail to see where he has "cheated". There is no proof. Most of you are just pissed that hes the greatest player to ever play the game and use that as a scapegoat to make yourself feel better about it. why were you banned again??? jesus... thats like asking for a flame war dude...

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:49 PM) So he's on pace for 162 HRs with an average distance of 439.5 feet um... whats with the green?

by the way you've all failed to mention that hawk and dj said he was TRYING to throw the slower stuff and work his control, location, curve etc. that he was going at this from a new approach - an approach i think is ridiculous... but a new approach all the same. i dont think anything is physically wrong with freddy.

Aaron Miles 4-5 2 doubles and a triple

thats awesome - I knew i picked him up for a reason in the soxtalk league 6!!!!

QUOTE(bmags @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 01:11 PM) i remember at nfl-fans we had a huge thread on this and we basically easily discredited most of the WTC s*** like no windows, the shadow, missiles, and the demolition style - though that one we didn't REALLy debunk. We had no explanation for that sister building falling. The cell phone thing was pretty stupid and disregarded. But we had a lot of trouble with the pentagon. That one really is confusing. And i'd really like the gov't to release that gas station video. I think we have a right to see that. yeah the pentagon thing is bizarre... the hole in the wall was smaller than the wingspan of the plane... plus very little debris... bizarre... also the demolition thing is freaky too... cuz there really WERE tons of little explosions preceding the main cloud on the collapse... just makes you think.

i'm pretty liberal all around but this is just bulls***. i agree with pretty much all of the sentiments expressed on this thread - its america, you should be able to display/wear/whatev the american flag wherever the f*** you want. wow... i hate political correctness...

QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 08:57 AM) I'll never forget that grand slam by valentine. i was at that game - so freaking cool... as for the names thing - it'd be funny to go back and see who was named what back in the day... i'm boring, i havent changed
