QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) this was also from neyers chat. It would be funny if this was all from Soxtalk and one thing led to the next.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 07:19 PM) That's not what he said. Ahh, ok. I didn't think he would say something like that.

I think I may be taking this out of context. "He said the Sox would rather blow the division or lose in the 1st round of the playoffs with what they have, than to add a bat." If that is indeed what he said, how is that saying good things about the team? I see it as bashing management fro doing somethey can't control, something he should not be involved with. Maby I'm missing something here?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) ^^^ Does this count. I think my prediction was just about the same as his statement, I'm proclaiming myself the winner. I had already read your prediction earlier in the thread, your point? Those are my thoughts, whether you predicted them or not.

f*** Konerko. Shut you damn mouth already. I can't wait to get rid of him next year.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 03:31 AM) For anyone who knows, will I be able to transfer my memory from X-Box (say, saved Rosters, Dynasties, and Settings) to X-Box 360? To play X-Box(Not 360 games) games, I would assume so. But I believe I heard the 360 will be limited backwards-compatable wise. Not sure what that exactly meant, but I'm assuming you might not be able to play all original X-Box games on the 360.

This got me pretty excited for the Rev: http://cube.ign.com/articles/642/642885p1.html Nintendo to be revealing the full system anywhere from tommorow, to a week from tommorow.

I could be wrong on this, but I believe the original post had the names of the guys, until he was asked to edit it, ruling out Kapler or whoever else.

Illinois is still in the running, per AAU coach.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 05:43 PM) It better not be ridiculous... I thought they would come up with some horrible, unplayable thing with the controller(I mean, It's Nintendo, makers of the Virtual Boy). But apparantly UbiSoft announced big plans for the Revolution today, so it can't be all that bad. Plus, they tried it with the handheld department, and that did wonders for them.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 05:34 PM) What part is gonna be free? It's already been stated that the old games are gonna cost us. I'm excited about the idea of playing a lot of those old games, and if I choose to buy a system I do believe it will be a Revolution, but I do agree that the nostalgia is going to wear out pretty fast. It'll be the great new games that Nintendo is famous for that'll be their main weapon. I just hope the graphics hold up to the other systems. The free part will be be playing the games online(basically, an equivalent to X-Box live, except free). EDIT: Also, Nintendo hinted at be able to play older games online, once you download them of course. That would be interesting.

Some other things announced at the Lepskrieg Gaming Conference(basically, just think e3): -Mircosofts conference was just about the X-Box 360 and all the pricing and details and things, we knew that. -I don't believe Sony had a conference, as they will be putting their resources towards TGS(Which both the PS3 and X360 will be playable at, for the first time). -Game Boy Micro priced at 99$ and will release September 19th. -New color GameCube coming out(White, heard it looks really nice). It will come bundeled with Super Mario Strikers, although that may be in Europe only. -UbiSoft pledges support for the Revolution. -Zelda: Twilight Princess delayed until 2006. Also, Nintendo will also be finally announcing details about its Revolutionary and innovating controller in the next week or 2. I'm interested to see what it is.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) What's a joke? THe price? Yes. That 299$ is pure s***. No reason to buy it. Looks like Microsoft will be the only company still using cords. The 399$ is way to expensive for a gaming system. It's bad enough they make you pay to play games online. Also, for whatever reason, the idiots over at Mircrooft decided to skip out on Wi-Fi. I am dissapointed in Microsoft. They had everything going to take the market share lead for next-gen(God knows it won't be Sony and their 1000$ PS3). Now they go ahead and screwed this up. I was interested in buying one, but I'm skipping out. Right now I'm going to stick with the Revolution. It should be about 200-250$. Free, dedicated online play. 100% Wireless. Wi-Fi enabled. And the best thing ever on a video game system: every Nintendo game ever is comes available with the Revolution(Yes, all NES games, SNES games, N64 games. and GameCube games).

QUOTE(farmteam @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) What does "Xbox Live Silver" membership mean? Basically absolutly nothing. From my understanding, you're not allowed to play full multiplayer online, so I don't get the purpose of it. It is free with the X-Flop 360 anyway, so it's not really included.

EAT s*** NUKE!!!!

What a f***ing joke.

^^^^^^^^^^ Also, just because some of the other hitters are good does not mean their on steroids. It's not fair to throw their names around like that.

Let's just sum this up for all of Soxtalk: f***

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 02:16 AM) Let's all remember that Brian Aderson's hit was less important. Because it came with 0 runners in scoring position. :rolly If the great Timo was not on the on-deck circle, BA would of done nothing. We all know this.

TIMO IS GOD'S GIFT TO CLUTCHNESS

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) why would you say that? they only return 2 starters from last year...... stop drinking the orange kool aid Yeah, me and My Illinois degree, which I don't have, just scream Illini homer. :rolly

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) They weren't actually confirming anything and both the Kansas boards put little stock in what that station was reporting. Rush's mom recently said she did not know what he was doing and a Kansas source who actually is very well connected to the Rush family has said no commitment has been made by Rush yet and Rush intends to talk the situation over with his family tonight. Aight. I shouldn't take my news from the idiots of at Illiniboard.net. I could go to Phog, but they banned me.(Apparantly, a Bucknell-KU game analysis is trolling). I still think he will end up at KU though. Most of the signs are pointing that way.

Per Kansas Radio, Rush to KU.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) no. Why? They are easily one of the best 15 teams in the country. A National Title this year would certainly not be out of reach.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:56 PM) Hold me to this. If Indiana doesn't make the tournament. I'll ask to be banned from SoxTalk. Nah, I like you too much.
