QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 8, 2008 -> 07:06 AM) Alright. Next time I'm out and having a good time, AND WASTED, I'll just drive home. If I get pulled over I'll just say "but officer, other people were doing it... and they had frisbees, boobies, and shotties!" I didn't say other people are doing it. I said, this is a party area. Known to all. It's a dangerous lake, even more so than Fox Lake is...or was. But, just because he was there, doesn't mean he was drunk. In fact...I'VE been there both drunk AND sober. Neither time I was driving. Cedric put himself in a bad situation, but he is entitled to go there, and if he gets caught, he gets caught. Unfortunately, there are a lot of boats there, and when I say a lot, I mean there will be strings of 10-15 boats. Why Cedric? If he's guilty...he's guilty. But, to use your logic, "but officer, there are lots more boats here, ALL tied up, why ME?"

Well, since my post was ignored before, I'll post something similar again... Devils Cove is a party area. People tie their boats up and drink and eat and party and drink etc. Do I believe he was drinking? Yes. Do I believe he was drunk? According to the law, I believe if you refuse to take a breathalyzer, it's an automatic fail, but you can go to court and say, prove it. And I don't think the LCRA cops went to pick on the "Black People Boat." And if they did, then the problem isn't with Cedric. The Austin Police has come under fire lately for prejudice, but haven't most police departments? I'm not saying this was a smart act, but having partied there, all I've seen is some topless girls, jello shots and lots and lots of frisbee playing.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 7, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) I think that Floyd not going for k's and instead letting hitters get themselves out has been one reason why hes doing better. Instead of trying to make perfect pitches, he makes good pitches. I think the White Sox philosophy is to pitch to defense...except for Vazquez. And Floyd has bought into that, or at least that's what it looks like to me.

Don't feel like reading 6 pages, but the Mental Midget Arises! Two near no-no's in a month! Think Cooper knows anything about hitting?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ May 6, 2008 -> 05:10 PM) oh come on don't playa hate unless it's plagiarism or something. 30 pages left with like 42 hours to go. Maybe later...I was watching a reeeeeaaaaalll good movie.

Archuleta Released

I already have your lemon merengue pie with a file in it ready to be sent. Should I send that to Jordan4Life? Or perhaps Bubba's number one dance partner???

I was going to give you an idea...but...meh.

You know all the things you can make with dirt??? Your kids dirty. The neighbors kids dirty. Add water, you get mud! Add sand, you get dirt with sand in it! Add clay and water and siphon out the dirt and you have adobe! Think of the possibilities!!!

Get a second generation iPhone...look up Google Maps (or any other online mapping service)...go to destination. My friend's GPS almost made us miss a plane. It took us to the mailing address for the airport, which was completely on the opposite side of the terminal.

As I stated before, being a Lake Travis alum...there are places that people dock their boats at the side of rock cliffs, or tie up to another boat and party. Lake Travis is very dangerous...not only because of drunks, but because they rent boats to anyone with cash and a pulse. There are police other than the LCRA, but I can't remember if they are state or local. They also have planes flying around checking on boaters, as well. I'm not going to speculate on what happened, but I do know of others who have been boarded and those cops usually are kind of assholes. Not the, "I'm sorry, I'm just doing my job" type, but the "Don't talk or I'll arrest you" type.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 6, 2008 -> 09:36 AM) Yeah, good point. He was offered the Colorado job but declined so that seems like good reasoning. Does Billy Gardner come with him? Hmmm....

Blackhawks told Dan Kelly his services are no longer needed. Pat Foley back??? Check the Sun-Times.

QUOTE (juddling @ May 5, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) Then again...I guess it's too much for the home plate umpire (who HAD to have seen the tag) to tell the crew chief at 2B that the tag was made. I don't think any umpire will over-rule a call unless asked. Crew chief or not. So, maybe all three other umps saw the tag, but if the 2B ump doesn't ask, they don't butt in. If he asks, then they speak up. I don't know if that's an official rule or one of those unspoken ones, but I think that's kinda the way it is.

Nuff said.

QUOTE (J-MAN @ May 5, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) Several weeks back posted a rant about DHL that lost my shipment of final four tickets! It gets worse! My claim to recover any $ was denied !!!!!!! According to them Negotiable items such as event tickets are unacceptable for transport by DHL!!! THIS IS BULL BLEEP - SINCE I GET MY SOX TICKETS DELIVERED BY DHL. Now I am told I have to get the refund for the shipping on the package they never delivered from Officemax ! Have to wait 21 days and try to get my money from them! NEVER AGAIN WILL I SHIP ANYTHING DHL! Sorry buddy. My wife and I have had some shady dealings with other "service" companies. And I'm really getting sick of it. Service my ass. Call back and talk to the highest person you can, if that doesn't work, start to threaten. Write letters, go to the BBB, say you are going to tell all your friends, family, co-workers, anyone that using DHL is a big ol' pain in the butt. If that doesn't work...just hang up and go your separate ways.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 5, 2008 -> 01:41 PM) Yeah I should do that.I could swap my grandfathers TV with my microwave and he wouldnt tell the diffrence. But, DAMN! That popcorn channel kicks some major ass!

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 5, 2008 -> 01:37 PM) Swap cables and see if you notice a difference. People do vary in their sensory abilities. I have a pretty lousy ear, but make up for it by enjoying what is played on commercial radio. I can understand some people having sharper eye sight and noticing a difference. I work in the video bizness and I notice things that others might not...at the same time, that doesn't mean that it makes that much of a difference. It's a digital signal, and unless, like many others have said, the cable is too long (15ft is the average, but it depends on who makes it and how well it's made, some can make it up to 30 or 60 ft, if made correctly), the difference is going to be in your eye, not the cable.

QUOTE (Bighurt500Hrs @ May 5, 2008 -> 08:42 AM) Hey guys - What are some other options for parking other than the stadium lots? I've heard of bars around where they will let you park if you eat/drink there. I've tried searching around to find out about that but came up empty. Anyone know a good place? Welcome to Soxtalk! The best place to park is in your garage...and take the L! At least that's what I would suggest.

QUOTE (Jim Spencer @ May 4, 2008 -> 09:41 PM) Mullet here also I had a flat top with the sides down to my shoulders. Look pretty cool in 1988 Jim...as a fellow member of the Mullet Club...it NEVER looked cool!

Happy One Year Closer to Death!!!

QUOTE (Brian @ May 4, 2008 -> 09:35 PM) Not really embarassing but in my 3rd year at SIU, I was tired of paying for hair cuts so I just shaved my head, hoping to look sweet. Yeah, not so much. I have a bumpy cranium. Maybe I'll grow into it someday. Are you Scottie Pippen?

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 4, 2008 -> 11:32 AM) Audio/Video cables often have HUGE markups and you can ignore Monster's nonsense about diamond plated phase harmonic inducers that improve signal quality. Go to Monoprice.com and get one for $10. Just did this and am waiting for it to show up. Don't fall for Monster cables. You are paying for packaging and name and not for quality.

No doubt about it... a mullet.
