Great...just remind me the day before we 'spring' ahead!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jan 17, 2007 -> 08:14 PM) How about because he has electric stuff in a pitcher's park? There's a reason why the Tigers are turning down talent like Mark Teixeira for Bonderman, and we're getting Rangers minor leaguers for McCarthy. Bonderman and Verlander are two of the best young pitchers in all of baseball. Over his first 4 years in the league, Bonderman has a 45-53 record with a ERA of 4.72* (Granted...last year was his lowest at 4.08). Not exactly setting the league on fire. I'm not saying that Bonderman won't be good, i'm just saying that it's not guarenteed. Personally....considering that the Tigers had issues at 1B last year and picked up Sean Casey....i think they are stupid for turning down Teixeira IMO. *By comparison..MB's first 4 years in the league he was 65-44. The highest ERA he had was 4.14. And he went to hell last year. Bonderman could easily do the same thing

Don't forget about "Wrong Way" Dybzinski and his baserunning gaffe

QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 07:31 PM) No, it was my intent to shove it up the rear of those b****ing about his throwing his former teammate under the bus - which he apaprently did not do. actually Steff...apology or no apology he threw his teammate under the bus. Why did he even mention the other guy's name at all??? If he isn't sure where the stuff came from he should have just said so...as usual..Barry has to blame someone other than himself. Personally, i would like to have heard the phone call between Barry and Sweeney after Bonds' initial statement. I hope he threatened to sue Barry for defaming his character. So much for being good friends.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) Bonds apologizes to Sweeney for amphetamines controversy By JANIE McCAULEY, AP Sports Writer January 12, 2007 AP - Jan 11, 10:33 am EST SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds came out publicly to make it clear his teammate and good friend Mark Sweeney had no involvement in the latest allegations against the San Francisco slugger. He insists he didn't get any amphetamines from Sweeney. He also didn't deny using them. According to a story in the New York Daily News, Bonds failed an amphetamines test last season -- and the newspaper reported that Bonds initially attributed it to a substance he had taken from Sweeney's locker. "He is both my teammate and my friend," Bonds said in a statement Thursday. "He did not give me anything whatsoever and has nothing to do with this matter, contrary to recent reports. "I want to express my deepest apologies especially to Mark and his family as well as my other teammates, the San Francisco Giants organization and the fans." So not only is it not about getting busted taking drugs.. it's also not about throwing his teammate under the bus anymore... Wonder what the next b**** and moan session will be about... Get some new glasses. Steff..I'm not sure if you posted the above story as an example of a good Barry story or not...the way i first read it, it seems like that was the intent. If it was the intent then i got to say that apologizing for lying about a teammate and possibly getting that teammate in trouble doesn't qualify as a good story. If that wasn't your intent then carry on!!

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 06:18 PM) At least we didnt Sign Ted Lilly. I was arguing with a Cub fan the other day at work and heard the same few arguements....things like "At least WE made moves in the off season." I just stood there and said "Dude...your GM just spent $40 million on Ted FRICKIN' Lilly!!!!! If KW did that I'd be pissed as hell. " Enjoy Lilly when Zambrano leaves next year. There wasn't a reply...lol

In today's Sun-Times, I think it was Neil Steinberg who wondered how long it would be until Troutman brought race into the picture. As in "Once again, the FBI is going after a black politician" Frankly, i'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

Nothing says funny like a man crying after getting hit in the sac.... ouch

Here's some bootleg footage of Tom Cruise at his wedding dancing. I didn't know he had the beard for the wedding but hey...look at the man dance

My secret crush is the Old Spice Red Zone girl..... Sweaty can be sexy

i have no problem with big companies doing thing s like ComEd is doing but what i don't understand is giving that money away and then turning around and crying "We need a rate hike...we don't have enough money" You may be short money and what you donate may not cover it all but it ticks me off when you do that.

Everything comes down to poo

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 10:06 PM) This past season of Family Guy has been pretty brutal, IMO. I really wouldn't have missed it had it not been picked up. Hopefully...with a new deal in place Seth and company can concentrate and put some better shows on the air

Production has finally begun on the sixth season of Fox's animated smash "Family Guy," 2½ months after the show's writers were told not to report to work. "Family Guy" scribes were informed Tuesday that the doors had been unlocked, and they returned to the writers' room for the first time Wednesday. Work was halted on "Family Guy" last fall as talks between producer 20th Century Fox TV and series creator Seth MacFarlane on an overall deal had reached an impasse (Daily Variety, Oct. 25). Although MacFarlane's deal wasn't up for several more months, studio execs didn't want to start production only to halt later if for some reason a deal wasn't struck. Twentieth brass also hoped to push along negotiations, which had progressed slowly for more than a year. Decision to bring the "Family Guy" scribes back to work is a signal that progress has finally been made in mapping out a new deal for MacFarlane at 20th; indeed, sources close to the negotiations said a rich pact is expected to be announced imminently. A 20th Century Fox TV spokesman declined comment. Insiders said it was too soon to gauge whether the late start for season six of "Family Guy" would affect the studio's ability to deliver episodes on time. Should the show's 2007-08 premiere appear to be in jeopardy, however, it's likely the studio will spend some extra coin to quicken the production pace. MacFarlane stands to sign a big overall deal with 20th given the success of "Family Guy" and his other animated creation, "American Dad." He's also behind upcoming live-action Fox laffer "The Winner" (along with Ricky Blitt).

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jan 3, 2007 -> 04:12 AM) That's pretty good. I imagine King was clever enough to say something about you "having a face for radio" or something along those lines. actually, after cancelling his interview, he called my PD and said I deserved to be fired. I hadn't been at the station real long at that point so i wouldn't have been surprised if it happened. Turned out my PD was pretty cool and told me he heard it and got a big laugh out of it.

I saw INXS before Hutchence died. i thought it was a kick ass show. I'm sure that band is not the same. It would be sad to see them now.

In a nutshell.....i was working at a radio station. King was to be a guest of the afternoon jock and i thought it was a phone interview not a walk-in. i was subbing for one of the morning hosts when the morning jock asked "What scares Stephen King???" (He was reading from some newspaper article) and without missing a beat (or knowing King was listening) i said "A good long look in the mirror!!!" We got a big laugh out of that until King called the radio station. We went back and forth for a while. of course i thought it was someone from the station playing a prank building up to his interview later that day. After we went to a commercial, i picked up the phone and he called me every name in the book and killed the interview that afternoon. I caught hell for a few weeks after that one, but i can say i got chewed out on and off the air by one of my favorite writers.

Next 5 for myself: 1. I dated a movie star (Granted..she played Molly Ringwald's younger sister in 16 candles and was 6 at the time but hey...it counts). 2. At SIU in 1989, i met a pre-famous Jenny McCarthy at a party. Later at same party....she got drunk and flashed about 20 of us. Sorry to say....pre-implants too 3. I'm allergic to cats 4. On my honeymoon my new wife and I ran into Garth Brooks in downtown Nashville 5. I dislocated both my shoulders playing sand-lot football in high school

In light of Gerald Ford's recent passing..... Gerald Ford eaten by wolves??????

1. I married my high school sweetheart...14 years and counting 2. In college, I met Tom Petty and he let me play a song with him during his soundcheck. (I played drums back then) 3. I broke a window during sex once 4. I've been verbally berated in public by Stephen King 5. I survived growing up with EvilMonkey!!!!!!! (That alone deserves a )

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Dec 21, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) She is pretty, but I dont know that "Rockets" is a good description. Anna Benson is surely deserving of that nickname, but Mrs Dice-K seems like a pretty woman, thats about all. Hard to believe that Dice-K got suspended for having his car towed from the front of her place. How can a team dictate who you date? i could think of another nickname of two for Ms. Benson but there might be kids reading this...lol

Granted..the idea of a scandalous wife differs from the USA to Japan but still it looks like Red Sox nation will have their own players wife to keep an eye on... Meet The Ms. Dice-K As we begin to learn a bit more about Daisuke Matsuzaka, the newest sliver of heroin to the junkies of Red Sox Nation, we, as we all tend to do, take a look at his homelife. Specifically, his wife, Tomoyo Shibata, who, according to the outstanding research of UmpBump, has caused a stir in Japan for rocking the cradle, being a golddigger (not that we're sayin' that!) and working as (gasp!) a sideline reporter. Because the former Miss Shibata is significantly older than Matsuzaka (she's 31, he's 26), she was viciously criticized in the Japanese media for "seducing" Matsuzaka when the couple began their liason in 2000 when he was only 19 years old. Because of the difference in their ages, they began dating in secret, and a huge scandal errupted when it came out that Matsuzaka's car had been towed for being illegally parked overnight in front of Shibata's house (it was such a big scandal that the Seibu Lions even suspended Matsuzaka for a few games). Also, she is known as "Rockets," because of ... well, because of her cans, apparently. And by cans, we mean "breasts," and by "breasts," we mean "rockets." couple of pics....judge for yourself
