Welcome back! I can only imagine what it feels to see your favorite baseball team win the World Series and not being able to post in this message board. But the team we have this season is built to repeat and hopefully every Sox fan will be together to celebrate.

Happy Birthday Rooftop Shots!!!

Ladies and gentleman, this contest has officially come to an end. I have the results of this finale and it was a close one. Let me first say that this tournament was created just for fun. I’m glad you guys participated by voting even though some might have disagreed with the finalists of this competition. I give you the champ . . . *Drumroll* A Day In The Life by The Beatles. The results (numbers in bold are the total votes the song received): 9 Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. 12 A Day In The Life - The Beatles

FINALS. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. A Day In The Life - The Beatles A Day in the Life is brilliant, without a doubt, but like many, I would have gone with other Beatle songs. But of course, this is what Soxtalk chose and it has done superb. The winner of this tournament will be decided tonight at 9pm CT. So if you haven’t voted, please do so.

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

Time is up. I have counted the number of votes that each song has received and the two songs that will go head to head for the crown of Soxtalk’s favorite “classic” rock song is closer than ever! The numbers in bold by each song is the total votes that the song received. Section 1. 13 Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. 8 Baba O' Reilley - The Who Section 2. 9 All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. 2 Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones vs. 10 A Day In The Life - The Beatles

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) quit whining ! GOD, when we asked Yoda what was "classic rock" he said ANY song from like 60-80, so don't blame us for putting any of our fav. songs up there. Actually, when I responded to that question I gave my opinion of what “classic” rock is. Just my opinion. For all I cared, someone could have just submitted “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses. As for the Dylan reference, what would be wrong if “Like A Rolling Stone” did win? The song is terrific and is one of Dylan’s best work. I have to say, before the 1st round started, I foresaw Dylan, Hendrix, and a Beatle song to go deep in the tournament and they have. “Baba O’Riley” by The Who is good, but I would prefer “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” Anyone else feel the same way?

I'll let this go till 5pm CT tonight.

The weather is starting to feel a lot better. I just went outside to get the mail and it’s a whole lot better than it was on Friday or Saturday.

If Barry hits his 47th homerun, no pitcher should pitch to him after that. Unless you want to be printed in the history book as the man who gave up the historic HR, than go ahead and throw one right down the middle.

Happy Birthday BUEHRLE>WOOD!!! Here's hoping you have a good one. . .

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

Time! The votes are in and the results are in as well. Seems like there will be another three way match in the semi since Hendrix and the Stones received 8 votes each . . . Section 1. 7 While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles vs. 13 Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan 8 All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. 12 Baba O'Reilly - The Who Section 2. 8 Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones vs. 12 A Day in the Life - The Beatles

I'll give this round half an hour and then it's off to the semifinals.

There are times when I wonder how the Stones would turn out to be if Jones hadn’t left the band at such a young age. Of course, his psychedelic drug addiction and his resentment with Jagger/Richards wouldn’t last very long and Mick Taylor would come in to replace him afterwards.

Section 1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles vs. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. Baba O'Reilly - The Who Section 2. Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones vs. A Day in the Life - The Beatles

lol I remember how El Duque threw nothing but sliders down and away to Sammy and Sosa struck out twice! You throw him junk down and away and he’ll go after it. What made me laugh is that when Orlando struck out Sammy he got off the mound with such an energetic manner.

No school yesterday so my friends and I spent the whole evening (from 7pm - 10pm) playing football. The thing is that when I’m playing the cold doesn’t really bother me except for my lips. I was barely able to open my mouth just to talk.

No love for Start Me Up? I hear that song in the car and I turn the volume up, up, up. Since some have listed their favorite Stones songs, I'll post mine. It isn't a top 30, but here are 10 in no particular order: Satisfaction Jumpin' Jack Flash You Can't Always Get What You Want Under My Thumb Sympathy for the Devil Mother's Little Helper Paint It, Black b**** Start Me Up Beast of Burden Lately I've been addicted to Shattered. There's times when I can't get that song off my head. QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 05:55 PM) Mother's Little Helper What a drag it is getting old. . . I love how that song starts off.

After this round, as you can probably tell, there will be 3 winners, an odd number. So, to make things even, a losing song with the highest votes will be back for the semifinals. Section 1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles vs. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. Baba O'Reilly - The Who Section 2. Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones vs. A Day in the Life - The Beatles

The results are in. The numbers in bold next to each song is the total of votes it received. Section 1. 11 White Room - Cream vs. 13 While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles 18 Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. 6 Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones 17 All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. 7 When the Levee Breaks- Led Zeppelin Section 2. 11 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen vs. 13 Baba O'Reilly - The Who 11 Pinball Wizard - The Who vs. 13 Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones 17 A Day in the Life - The Beatles vs. 7 Dream On - Aerosmith

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
