  2. QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 09:10 AM) Scarlett Johannsen She looks like she's a fish gasping for air. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 09:10 AM) NATALIE PORTMAN is the obvious, obvious choice here. She is extraordinarily ugly Seriously though, maybe it's because you guys don't like women? I'm just trying to come up with a reason for the insanity...
  3. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 09:45 AM) To call Chandler's help defense anything more than average is pretty far out there You must be thinking of his man defense, because he's one hell of a help defender right about now. SGs and SFs are getting their shots altered whenever they penetrate. Show me a 7 footer in this league that is quicker on his feet than Chandler. People are just SLEEPING on the immense defensive potential, as always. He showed you this when he was with the Bulls, but he's only getting better at it. He just turned 24. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 11:58 AM) How can you take Mike Murphy seriously after he said on his show that Ron Artest is a poor defensive player? 'That Ron Artest, I know he had a good night offensively but he doesn't wanna guard ANYONE!' - Mike Murphy Murph ain't no NBA guy. I'm just entertained by him, and it's been that way since 1995 or thereabouts. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 02:07 PM) When Brand was 22 he averaged 11.6 rebounds a game. He also can score. The trade made no sense. Chandler is so elite, Paxson couldn't wait to dump him. Dick, you said that it was the worst trade in the history of sports. Defense and rebounding reign supreme in the NBA. That's how you build championship teams. There should be no confusion as to why this is. While Elton is a all star caliber player, he is an undersized PF that can play a little man defense. The dude ain't even 6'8. His wingspan is average. His feet ain't that quick, and his vertical is decent. He works hard on the glass, but he does not have the potential to lead the NBA in rebounding. Chandler does, and I've been trying to tell people this for years.... They're starting to catch on, though. Well, not really.
  4. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 04:34 AM) There's no defending the Brand trade. That may have been the most stupid trade in the history of sports. Hmmm, you're not much of a basketball guy, are you Dick? Chandler is at what, 11.5 rebounds per game? He's a potential rebounding champion at the age of 24. His help defense is also bordering on elite. Worst trade in the history of sports? Good God, man.
  5. QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 11:15 PM) I think Tim Raines deserves in the HOF, possibly Shawn Dunston. Gossage should get in, he's getting close.
  6. Do you guys like women? Sorry, I had to ask...
  7. QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 11:28 PM) Remember, players don't win championships, organizations do. What a jerk. What Krause meant: Players by themselves don't win championships. It takes an organization, and the players are a part of that. And that is 100% correct.
  8. QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jan 10, 2007 -> 06:55 PM) Hell my wife is from norridge and the basic chicago style bungalow houses are selling for 400,000 and people are buying them and knocking em down and building mansions. Why you would do that in Norridge, I don't know, but there's tons of it going on right now. If you're Polish, Norridge is the place to be. For every old person trying to move out, there are 20 Polish dudes with construction businesses trying to get in, and they all want extremely large houses so that they can have enough room for their brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. The Polish stick together like you wouldn't believe. They're like Mexicans, except they have enough space to house everybody. My one-level house in Norridge is approaching $400,000, and I got it for a little less than $200,000 back in 2002. It's my first house, and a humble one at that, but somebody is gonna overpay in order to put up a monster. You have got to be either a cake-eater or a dumbass to even think about entering this market. You're going heads up against Polish dudes who are absolutely BANKING. Good luck to any and all who plan on moving to the NW side.
  9. QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 08:34 PM) I love Murphy. Yep, I love him too. I've been listening to him for over 10 years now. If I was just a little bit dumber, I'd be a Murph basher. I couldn't care less about the fact that he's a Cubs fan, though. I think that you're a meathead if you do, but that's just my opinion.
  10. QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 05:32 AM) Great tune, and probably his best from a studio/technical production standpoint. But I'll take Little Wing as my all time fave. I like the Clapton, Stevie ray, and Sting covers of that one, btw. That might be my personal favorite from Jimi too. He did an incredible instrumental version of that track with Paul Butterfield at the Cafe A Go Go back in 1968, and it's in soundboard quality. There's also a bootleg titled "Little Wing" with 15 different live & studio variations of that track. Great stuff. And yeah, I spaced out on the Stevie Ray Vaughan cover. He has a few variations of that track on bootleg, plus an extended live version that he performed in Canada back in 1983. SRV's instrumental versions of "Voodoo Chile" and "3rd Stone From The Sun" are outstanding as well.
  11. I love me some Van Morrison covers: Friday's Child (Los Angeles 9/5/71) Bring It On Home To Me (Los Angeles 9/5/71) It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (Kansas City 2/17/74) Everybody's Talking (Los Angeles 2/15/73) Some of my favorite jazz fusion covers: Dennis Coffey- Whole Lotta Love Dennis Coffey- Ride Sally Ride Overton Berry Trio- Hey Jude Wes Montgomery- A Day In The Life Cal Tjader- Morning Mist Charles Kynard/Bernard Purdie- Something Ernest Ranglin- Love & Happiness My favorite dub reggae covers: Lee Perry- Popcorn Dub Specialist- Popcorn (titled Greedy G) I can't think of much else at the moment. And yes, "All Along The Watchtower" is arguably Jimi's best track, period. If we had a "Favorite Hendrix Song" poll, that one would most likely take the cake. QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 02:15 AM) Except for the fact that Michael Hedges did it better, IMO. This is some "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" type s*** right here.
  12. QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jan 9, 2007 -> 10:47 PM) It is ridiculous that he belongs in the hall for that record alone. Ridiculous. QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jan 9, 2007 -> 11:37 PM) Hmmm...ok, Cal Ripken: AL Rookie of the Year 2-time AL MVP 2-time All Star Game MVP 2-time Gold Glove 8-time Silver Slugger 19-Time All Star Most Home Runs for a SS His career range factor is higher than Omar Vizquel He paved the way for taller SS (see: Alex Rodriguez, Miguel Tejada) Mark McGwire: AL Rookie of the Year 12-time All Star 1-time Gold Glove 3-time Silver Slugger Yeah, not so much. This is how you silence the meatheads.
  13. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 10, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) Um... yeah, that will do. Dude, it's a lost cause.
  14. QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Jan 10, 2007 -> 05:14 AM) 65 RBI (Bench player) He has 33 RBIs in 500 career ABs. Are you saying that he's gonna double his career total in the 200 or so ABs that he'll be getting this year? 65 RBI in 200 ABs would put him on pace for 195 RBI in 600 ABs. In 2008, perhaps he will fulfill his insane RBI potential with a full season's worth of ABs and pass Hack Wilson in the record books. What's the difference between Sox fans and Cubs fans again?
  15. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 6, 2007 -> 09:41 AM) If you don't enjoy their show, your probably one of the idiotic callers that they rightly make fun of to no end. It's must hear radio, great show. I think you're right if we're talking about the posters at: score670.com I've never seen so many bitter b****es in my life. On the other hand, I have friends who won't listen to B&B because they don't understand all of the inside jokes and what not. It's definitely an acquired taste.
  16. QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 06:45 PM) Diane Lane One of the sexiest women of the past quarter century or so.... Yeah, definitely strange.
  17. QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 05:34 PM) Gina Gershon from Showgirls key word: strange Dunno if Gina Gershon would qualify.... QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 05:37 PM) Suzy Kolber EvilMonkey, take notes.
  18. QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 04:59 PM) I'm imagining there aren't a lot of conversations. They don't just nod at each other and then head up to the hotel room, lol. You have to be able to hold a conversation with a complete and utter moron just so you can get your two minutes of pleasure, give or take half a minute.
  19. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 4, 2007 -> 10:33 PM) So could having a Papelbon in the rotation. Well, I'll go with the tried and true. Papelbon is/was a legendary closer in the making. You and Epstein or whatever his name is can speculate all you want. And when it comes time to close out some of those 7-6 slugfests, and they have Julian freaking Tavarez on the mound, Lucy is gonna have some explaining to do.
  20. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 4, 2007 -> 09:54 PM) Everyone did, until he tanked. They apparently are bringing him in to compete for the closer's role. Closer by committee worked out so great for them last time. God damn man, they have a guy who is arguably the best closer in the game, and they're trying to put him in the starting rotation? That closer-by-committee crap could be the difference between 90 and 95 wins.
  21. QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jan 2, 2007 -> 04:19 PM) Then, once that athlete gets to the pros, between the young ages of 18 and 22, and they have women throwing themselves at them, groupies, so to speak, what do you expect? Shoot, I was a barrel of raging hormones in my college years and early 20's. Again, not to condone it, but after years of that, I expect someone to have a breakdown and give in at least once. And once you get stuck on that slippery slope, I can't imagine it would be easy to stop. Ahh, it's just a bull**** excuse. Your typical groupie is dumber than a box of rocks. How he can even hold a conversation with someone like that is beyond me. I'm envisioning some Beavis & Butthead type conversations.
  22. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 4, 2007 -> 03:23 PM) At the time of the Pineiro signing, it looks like garbage, so I think foresight is also 20/20 Yep, looks like garbage to me too. I thought that he was gonna be a damn good starter back in 2003, though.
  23. Rum and coke. That's about all I ever drink nowadays.
