QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 15, 2007 -> 05:09 PM) What an awesome movie. I'm genuinely pissed after just heading to Twin Galaxies to see who has the world record.. *plenty of spoilers* The Mitchell tape controversy REALLY pissed me off. I found myself wanting to strangle that f***ing referee. The final scene in the movie where they had an update to the standings had me cheering from my seat and later jumping for joy. They build up the characters throughout the film so damn well that you can't help but become emotionally invested in the ups and downs that Webe goes through and flat out HATE Billy Mitchell. And yeah, checking the standings on the website after the movie upset me as well.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 11:14 PM) Where fans standing for each at bat? Probably in front of their seats.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 10:06 PM) Duh, you can so predict a players worth in less than 300ABs. If they havent hit .350 and hit 12 dongs in 150AB, they are junk. I love how he can project the 37 year old gooch as well at the end of his 4 years. But even beyond that, at this point in their careers Iguchi is a better player than Richar, how much better is of course a matter of opinion but I think we can agree that Iguchi is better. So what is the point? Iguchi is better, what does that have to do with anything? Who cares?

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 08:31 PM) Iguchi .... good. Danny Richar ... so far, bad. Point being?

Even if the Sox didn't sign the draft pick (though they definitely would) they'd get that same exact draft position the next season so that argument definitely falls short in several departments.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 07:34 PM) Yep, Ozzie and ARod have a great relationship. Better than his relationship with Pinella! Oh, wait . . . s***.

Another question. What can the Sox offer that the Angels can not?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 07:10 PM) I guess the Sox could offer A-Rod the third base position if he still wanted to play there. That's the ONLY thing I can think of.

They should have just as much money to spend as the Sox if not more.

Can anyone name 1 thing the Sox can offer that the Cubs can not?

Matthews' name was mentioned in connection to illegal suppliers back in February.

I've been told I look a lot like Calista Flockhart which I think is bulls***. If I were to compare myself to anyone on Ally McBeal it would be Portia de Rossi but with a better ass.

Thome needs to hit it tonight. I'll actually be able to see today's game but I'll be busy all day tomorrow so that's a no go. As Thome's biggest (probably a tie) supporter and fan in Chicago it's very important that I see it live.

Why in the hell would ARod come here over say either LA team or the Cubs and Sweet Lou (AKA: Father Figure)?

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 11:03 AM) I could of predicted this without seeing it. Just going by the trailer for the film I knew it was going to be terrible but I couldn't imagine a movie that employs the talents of Odenkirk and Arnett could be THAT miserable (I do remember chuckling once during "Let's Go to Prison".) It's by far the worst movie I've seen this year. On a related note; just going by trailers and the cast list "Mr. Woodcock" might just give "The Brothers Solomon" a run for its money.

Actually, .250/.300 is horrible unless his slugging is somewhere around .400 then maybe it's acceptable. When compared to the 12 SS that qualified for the AL batting title this season a .250 batting average from Uribe would have been the 2nd worst with only Julio Lugo being more futile. A .300 OBP would be the 3rd worst with Lugo and Pena Jr. being the only SS more pathetic. Hell if Juan goes 14 for his next 20 he'll have a BA right at .250 and an OBP right around .300. Just looking at his numbers it's amazing how terrible Juan's average's are this season. AVG: .230 | AL RANK: 12/12 OBP: .282 | AL RANK: 11/12 SLG: .394 | AL RANK: 9/12 OPS: .672 | AL RANK: 10/12 AB/SO: 4.5 | AL RANK: 11/12 AB/2B: 32.6 | AL RANK: 12/12 AB/SB: 457 | AL RANK: 12/12 AB/CS: 65.3 | AL RANK: 12/12 SB%: 13% | AL RANK: 12/12 AB/HR: 24 | AL RANK: 1/12

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 11:50 AM) Greg Walker said Todd Ritchie would in be in his opening day rotation in 2003 at the end of 2002. I don't take much seriously when the guy in question is 38. Greg or Nardi?

"The Brothers Solomon" was just flat out horrendous. Will Arnett needs to stop doing Bob Odenkirk movies because they're ruining his career. He's gone from being the funniest character on the funniest/best show on television to staring in terrible comedies along side some of the most annoying/least talented people in the business (Dax Sheppard and Will Forte.)

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Sep 13, 2007 -> 01:29 PM) Let's see how Thome is when he's 39.5 years old... two years makes a big difference when you get in your upper 30's. Then why are they even being compared in the first place? If the difference in age makes them impossible to compare then why are these comparisons being made? Maybe it's about time they end.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 13, 2007 -> 12:53 PM) *waits for post about how what we got back for Iguchi was the equivalent of what a bum would bring back* *waits for another post from someone explaining why there was no reason not to trade Iguchi* *waits for dumb response from someone about how we still should have kept Iguchi for two months* Go. I'm shocked, SHOCKED that there are still people who don't understand that whole situation. It simply amazes me.

You find me one instance where a sane person called Iguchi and bum and I'll give you 50 bucks.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 12, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) If we don't establish it and drill it into people's heads, they're going to ask why we don't draft someone like Felix Hernandez. I still see the occasional "let's trade the top pick instead" post. Ok, that's fair. So for those who don't know you CAN NOT trade draft picks and you CAN NOT draft non-residents of the USA/Canadia/US Territories. High School players have to graduate and not attend any classes at college in order to be eligible, students at 4 year colleges must be either seniors or graduates or over the age of 20 and you can draft any Junior College player you like, doesn't matter if they're a freshman or Junior they're eligible.
