I really wanted Derek Johnson, our linebackers all 3 would be just so beastly.... plus it would lessen the blow a lot when/if Briggs leaves in f/a.

Its ridiculous because some teachers get paid over 100k while others get paid half of that or something. What they need to do is get rid of the fat paychecks and create a balance. I dont care how long a teacher has been working there they dont deserve over 100,000

QUOTE(palehose23 @ Nov 8, 2007 -> 03:52 AM) For all the people who want to watch the youngsters develop remember this fact. Only 3 players were drafted, cultivated in the system, and played on the 2005 World Series team Aaron Rowand Joe Crede Mark Buerhle all the rest were thru trades and free agency. GET MIGGY C NOW!!! Yeah but we traded for Garland when he was still a prospect, gotta count for something.. same for Jenks

QUOTE(Shadows @ Nov 7, 2007 -> 01:32 PM) Its not impressive for a professional to play their own song, it is impressive for some nobody to be able to play a 7 minute song that is prolly harder than ANY guitar hero song they have ever made, and not only that but get 4 stars and 89% note hits.. Basically to answer your question, you have to be a fan of guitar hero and play the game to understand why people are so amazed by it.. otherwise yes, we just look like idiots playing a plastic guitar.. but people are very impressed if you are good at the game Obviously its more impressive that one guy can play that fast... and he gets his due credit for being fastest in world possibly. But also keep in mind this is a video game thread lol not a music thread... not 2 mention dragonforce are a s***ty band and while he plays fast atleast the songs they have all suck.

I got Cod4 also, game is pretty amazing, except I hate how some of the online maps seem soooo small.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) There is a real chance Arod may end up taking a pay cut, and you have to wonder if Boras would let him do that. Ummm, Boras doesnt have the power between the two lol.... if A-Rod wants to take a pay cut than he is going to

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 4, 2007 -> 09:11 AM) I agree on The Departed, I thought that was a wildly overrated movie. I think people just assumed it was great based on the director. But I saw American Gangster last night, and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. Crowe did indeed carry that role pretty well. Definitely recommended. Now that I finally won a coin toss with my wife for who picks the movie, Into the Wild is now out of the theatres nearby. I'll have to go try to catch it this week while travelling. I dont even know who directed Departed and I loved the movie, and Im pretty hard on movies in general. I think you guys just saw Titanic and refuse to giveLeonardo Dicaparo or however you spell it a chance... he was also great in Blood Diamond.

its 3 games, we have had slow starts during all our playoff runs with this core.... everyone needs to relax... i know with sox/bears your thinking worse but no worries.

anyone not named uribe or eckstein.

Maybe we can expand this deal and try to land Betemit and Melky from the yanks. Offer up Crede, a bullpen arm and than someone like Broadway. Our infield would be a serious downgrade defensively but it also would be young, cheap, and hopefully better offensively. Than if we want we can try to sign Hunter still or go after Coco Crisp. That will fill up all the holes in the lineup that need to be replaced and we still can trade a starter to free up salary and get some prospects or whatevr KW decides we need.

I know Kobe is the best player in the NBA, but ill personally be very sad and a little pissed if Deng is gone.

If we going to be any good this year Pruitt needs to be huge, he da man

Yeah, Id love to get Melky Cabrera... we might need to add something in to make it work.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 09:00 AM) Show me where he has said stuff like that about any other player recent. The other guys have been here for awhile now, but when they were new you heard crap about Deng and Gordon.. especially Gordon. I've heard lots of positive stuff about Tyrus this off-season including the shooting however many free throws each day and working out with Deng. Im not going to let typical Skiles garbage make me think Tyrus is lazy now, its like how Parcells was in Dallas and always saying bad stuff about Romo lol.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 30, 2007 -> 10:16 AM) You have seen the rest of his quotes, right? This was from two days ago. Or this from the beginning of camp... Or this from after their first exhibition game He pretty much called him lazy, unfocused, and out of shape. Heck even the "compliment" you posted was pretty weak. Skiles says junk about that about every player it seems.... so I dont see how that makes him lazy. Again you are jumping to conclusions based on very little. A reporter that from what I heard has ripped TT since day 1 and Skiles who calls out every player not named Hinrich.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Oct 28, 2007 -> 03:44 PM) I've made up my mind. I'm not gonna get a 360 nor will I upgrade my current PC. Instead, when I get my laptop (which won't be for at least a year), I'm gonna make sure it's loaded w/ close to top of the line stuff. I wouldnt do that, first it costs more because its a labtop... 2nd they get to be big that they might as well be desktops lol.. 3rd ofcourse everything breaks down once the warranty runs out and they arent easily upgraded. You can build a PC with same or more power and buy the 360 with your total cost being smaller than the labtop.

no way in hell im including both Deng and Gordon... hell I dont want to include Deng at all really.... wait until Lakers drop their price significantly or dont get Kobe... im fine with that philosophy.

whose willing to pay more than the yanks, idonno doesnt make much sense to me.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 28, 2007 -> 07:05 PM) They are both similar players at the resepective stages of their careers. Kemp came into the league straight out of high school as a skinny kid with freakish athletic ability, an incredible amount of potential, and not much refinement in their games. Kemp's problem's were two fold, one he was a complete idiot, and two, he let success go to his head. Thomas already seems to be not understanding what he needs to be doing, what is going on around him, and what is being asked/expected of him. How he procedes from this point could very well determine what level of success he will have at the NBA level. I really think thats not as true as some of you believe, maybe he could of done more but if it was really a problem we would of heard something from skiles or something. And I know at times in the off-season Tyrus was spotted with Deng so they had to be doing more than watching WNBA games.

More so Archuleta it seems... and I thought he had a really nice week 1 too along side Mike Brown.... but since than been horrible.

Idonno why not, he can be probably brought in fairly cheaply and have him compete with Richar for the starting 2B spot, whoever loses can be a bench player... gets rid of Cintron lol.

We knew when we took Tyrus he was going to be an extremely raw player to begin with, Id expect him to be a little better this season and maybe in season 3 or season 4 when we finally fully see the real TT.

I kinda liked Tony Pena when he was with KC, id have no problem having him be part of our coaching staff if he doesnt get the gig.

Lol you dont think some of it has to do with the redsox having 2 of the better post-season pitchers in recent history and 2 of the better hitters in all of baseball?

I know the purpose of the last movie was to see if he would forgive or seek revenge, but from number 1 Jigsaw's whole thing was having people realize they are leading a bad life and because of it they need to earn the right to live. Well how did those 3 victims get to choose if they wanted to live or not.... it was all out of their hands. So, to teach 1 person a lesson he is basically willing to sacrafice 3 without letting them give themselves a legit shot at survival. And whether he set up the traps or not doesnt matter because he atleast had a role in them.... and in number 2 and 3 they went completely against what his supposed purpose was from number 1.
