QUOTE(Wanne @ May 4, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) The Sox have done what they needed to do to start the season. The bullpen is still a HUGE question mark though. Something needs to be done about Cliffy though...I have ZERO confidence in him when he comes into a game. Record could have very easily been 23-5. Glass half empty approach, but it's true.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 11:53 AM) they've barely pitched. Why all the sudden this year is everything a "concern". So far this year we have had threads about concerns on Scott Pods Iguchi Thome Crede Anderson Garland Garcia Pollite Cotts Thorton Logan Jenks yet here we are in first place and tied for the best record in baseball. Because they're the go to guys in the bullpen and after them...it ain't exactly pretty.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 05:24 PM) One of the problems could be(might not even be a problem) is that our starters are going to go far in ALOT of these games, and Oz is going to be hard pressed to find spots for these guys. I think rust has alot to do with Cotts and Cliff struggling. I also think we are putting Boone in a bad place. Logan is a young kid that needs to see batters. He isnt getting that here, and when he is, its 7 or 8 days at a time. Get another SOLID arm this pen, and send Boone down, maybe even Thornton... Why get another solid bullpen arm if he's just going to rot away in the bullpen? Kenny got this five man rotation assembled so he wouldn't need anyone after Jenks, Politte, Cotts and McCarthy.

Happy birthday, brotha man.

Being in the writing field, I think you need to strenghten your thesis. You say curses don't exist, which I agree with...but I think you need to back that with what the fans and media had to say. Talk about how the Curse of the Bambino was used as a springboard for Boston to strive that extra mile. Talk about how the Curse of the Billy Goat further adds to the Cubs desperation. Back that desperation with quotations. Counter the curses with the White Sox, how our fans never believed in the curse and pointed fingers where they should've been pointed: management, players, etc. You have a lot of good material in there, I just think since the curses are fan and media created, you don't do your duty in the paper by leaving them out.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in '05 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 06:03 PM) and Hawk said he was going to be a star right about now. I've learned not to listen to Hawk evaluate talent. He thought Julio Ramirez was the next Willie Mays. Hawk just doesn't seem to like to look at the "big picture" in a player. Just because he can do something with a crazy talent, doesn't mean he can do the rest. (I.E. Julio Ramirez ran as fast as a horse, Olivo through as hard as a bazooka. But neither of them could hit for their life, and Olivo couldn't catch the damn ball or call a good game.) I believe Hawk also loved McKay Christensen, D'Angelo Jimenez, Carlos Pena, and Jeremy Affeldt. "Give me nine guys like Pablo Ozuna and I'll show you a winner.) ...Right, Hawk.

He starts off with a PROSPECT that is projected to be a mid-rotation starter. What the hell?

I was one to ciritsize the Sox early on after a 1-4 start, but they look ready to take off. When and if Politte and Cotts kick it into high gear, the Sox could run away with it again...even with how good Cleveland is. This Sox team is really, really good. Thome has been an amazing addition.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 11:19 PM) If you are looking at someone in the bullpen to worry about... see Cliff Politte Indeed.

QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 08:32 AM) I used to get annoyed by the angle, but I haven't noticed it lately. I remember last year ESPN tinted their cameras yellow so a Chevy advertisement would show up better. Now that was annoying. That's where I draw the line.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 03:43 PM) How is Shawshank only 22? It should be at least top5. Why? It wasn't very daring nor was it hugely original. A great story indeed, but I think 22 is pretty accurate for that movie.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) Agreed. Memento didn't accomplish much, it just took after the trend Pulp Fiction made in 1994.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) It's on every single top 100 list. Never saw it... but plan on it this upcoming week. The plot is pretty damn dumb from what i can tell... and a few people have told me how retarded it is. But then again it cannot be anyworse the life aquatic with steve zissou... most overated piece of s*** i have ever seen. There are so many backers to it... f***ing mind boggling to me. Every year though there are those movies that people have to grasp onto and back no matter how good/bad it really was. Eternal Sunshine is written by Charlie Kaufman. He also appears at #74 with Being John Malkovich and #77 with Adaptation. Kaufman is EASILY the best screenwriter in the business. The Eternal Sunshine plot is anything BUT retarded. After all, it won Best Original Screenplay, a response that garnered from many, "Finally Kaufman gets what he deserves." I dare you to find anyone else in the business as talented as Charlie Kaufman. All of his movies are giant successes with the critics and audiences that will take it in themselves to see a movie actually worth seeing. (3 of his 4 screenplays have been nominated for best original screenplay. His only bomb was Human Nature. He also wrote Confessions of A Dangerous Mind which was picked up by George Clooney. Unlike ALL of Kaufman's other movies, Clooney cut Kaufman out once he picked the screenplay up. And an interesting piece of dialogue about it from here, or below: CLOONEY: That was a good script. MILLER: Not a great movie, but a great script. [Laughter]) As far as The Life Aqcuatic, it wasn't Wes Anderson's best...but it had some pretty good moments. The asthetics were great as always, but Anderson lacked co-writer Wes Anderson for this film. Oddly enough, Anderson's TLA co-writer was Noah Baumbach who wrote and directed The Squid and the Whale last year...a breakthrough film for him.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 11, 2006 -> 11:38 PM) So I'd like to know who thinks they are cool by rating each article we put up as a one star. We don't suck that bad.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) Man with hand in pants feel cocky all day long. OH! Snap!

QUOTE(HeGone33 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) So we are 12-5 in our last 17 games!!! I'll take that any day of the week. After reading through all the negativity here today, everyone needs to take a step back and ENJOY the season. I think the Sox will be fine, but it's hard for me to look at it that way. It was fun to start last season 17-8. And yea, they're the World Series Champions, but it's a new year now and they're 1-4. ...Doesn't seem to feel as good.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 03:33 AM) Meh. Move Dye to LF when he comes back then. Is it that big of a deal to have a lefty in left? It's not a horrible idea, but it's usually not a good idea. If Sweeney had an above average arm it might work out well, but at that point it'd be more ideal to have him in right and a Dye in left and have two hand cannons that don't have to spin their body around to make throws on balls down the line. If Sweeney has no arm, they'd lose a lot in defense regardless of where they put him unless he can cover a hell of a lot of ground. Plus the Sox already have two lefties on the bench. Believe me, I'd love to see Sweeney instead of Gload, but it doesn't make sense. They lose out on his bench power and they'd just trade a lefty for a lefty when they need a right handed hitter on the bench with Mackowiak and Cintron.

Yea, and f*** the Man too!

...On the other hand, it's a giant venue that serves alcohol. What do you expect?

QUOTE(KWs OK for Me @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:10 PM) I'm only in my 20s but I feel more qualified to discuss classic rock than modern rock (minus Nirvana and Audioslave, the only two bands of the 90s-00s that I have followed). Just because you didn't live through the era doesn't mean that you can't get into the music. Yes, I haven't seen any of these bands live (or at least live in their era, before they sold out and started playing $60 concerts to 50 years olds DAMN YOU EAGLES), but thats beauty of music. Most of it is saved for posterity and is easily accessible. Thank you. Somebody said it.

Gives me shivers every time I see it. I feel blessed having grown up watching Michael Jordan play.

I've done it with Domino's (being a poor college kid) and it works well. You get the pick the time you want your food and everything. It's a pretty cool thing.

QUOTE(Yoda @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 06:09 PM) This tournament started off with 40 songs and now it is down to two songs. The contest has encountered some difficult matches and some that are no brainers for certain people. But this one proves to be, in my opinion, a good one. Vote for your favorite song by bolding it. FINALS. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. A Day In The Life - The Beatles

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 01:11 AM) If Dylan wins a classic rock contest, someone's windmill is burning. You still don't know what classic rock is. Will you please quit b****ing and become educated on what music really is? (I don't even think Like A Rolling Stone is Dylan's best work in the first place, but it is certainly a classic rock song. Is it impossible for a folk artist to make a classic rock song? Seems plenty odd that you'd think this impossible considering he's made more than folk, classic rock and country music. Why don't you pick up a damned Bob Dylan album already and figure out what the man has done. Most of the terrible songs that were originally nominated would have never surfaced if not for Bob Dylan and or The Beatles anyway. Furthermore, Bob Dylan isn't a folk artist...he's FOLK-ROCK.)

QUOTE(Yoda @ Feb 19, 2006 -> 07:50 PM) Vote for only 1 song in the three way match. Bold your picks. Section 1. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. Baba O' Reilley - The Who Section 2. All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones vs. A Day In The Life - The Beatles
