Sox It To Em

In their neverending quest to reunite the 2000 Sox bullpen, I suspect the Cubs will pick him up.

I heard this too. WTF is up? Why is the deal taking so long to announce? Very weird. Hopefully we'll know details soon.

*Mr. Burns voice* Excccccellent.

Paul Bako? May as well call off the season right now, it's in the bag for the Royals.

Also, who's this Jude character? I've only been watch since early season 2.

Okay, whatever. No hard feelings. Anyway, here's why I think Christian's father could be a possibilty. Like I said, he probably isn't, but he's far more probable that all the people suggesting Sean, Christian, Julia, or Matt IMO. I think Bobolit is the best bets (Quentin would be #1 for me, but he gets attacked next week). Again, if what Steff says is true about one of the actors saying that it's an actual cast member, then Christian's dad definitely isn't the Carver. But humor me: -Christian's dad is a pyschopath. -Christian's dad rapes people. -Christian's dad was never caught. and (possibily most importantly) the storyline surrounding him never really wrapped up. Like I said, it's almost certainly wrong, but I'm just throwing stuff out there for the sake of throwing stuff out there. If it has been revealed that it will be a cast member, then I am misinformed. On an unrelated note, what happened to Anne Heche's character and that boy? Did they get killed by that one guy or was Sean just dreaming? If they didn't get killed, why did they leave to go into the WPP without Sean? ETA: Check this out at TV Guide.com: According to Christian's mom, he looks remarkably like his father. So I might be and probably am wrong, but my pick goes to C's rapist dad.

QUOTE(Steff @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) It's a cast member. They have been clear about that since the Carver storyline was introduced as season 3's main line. I'm sorry if you can't comprehend that... I've done all I can to help you with it. I'm done. First of all, there's no need to be condescending. Second of all, first you stated that it couldn't be C's father because it needed to be a main character. Now you have suddenly changed it to it having to be an actual cast member (i.e. actor). You have not been "trying to tell me that all along." Thirdly, I have said that it's probably not C's father just that I would think it'd be cool. My earlier "book it" statement was tounge-in-cheek. Lastly, it's pointless to argue over this. We'll just wait and see next week.

QUOTE(Steff @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) Yet the creator of the show and all the actors interviewed claim differently.. :rolly Please elaborate. What exactly did Ryan Murphy or any of the actors claim that would rule out the possibility of someone like Christian's father? And, remember, it's not necessarily a main character, just someone we know.

QUOTE(Steff @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) We do.. really..? Who is he? When was he introduced? Who plays him..?? :headshake In my view, the Carver being "somebody we know" can be interpreted in two ways: 1. An at least somewhat major character that we see regularly. or 2. The Carver is a character that we know exists, and not just some random guy we've never heard of before. Hence, he's "someone than we know (of)." Both interpretations are acceptable, IMO. And if the quote is intended to be interpreted in the second way, which I think it is, than Christian's dad is certainly a possibility.

http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1102552...18|1_0_,00.html That's the EW interview, and there's nothing about it being a main character. It's just "someone we know." Well, we know who Christian's dad is (at least a little). However, his dad probably isn't the carver, but I think it'd be an awesome twist if it was.

QUOTE(Steff @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:03 PM) Rumor has it... he's quoted. Where?

QUOTE(Steff @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) The Carver is a main cast member. Since Christian's dad has never been introduced, it can't be him. Actually, rumor has it that Ryan Murphy supposedly said this, but I can't find that actual quote anywhere nor have I ever seen it substantiated. All I know is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carver And Merril Bobolit (sp?) is far from a main character.

QUOTE(Steff @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) Unless his dad is Sean or Bobolit, you are wrong. Until next week, we don't know. It just seems to me that all the main characters (Sean, Christian, Julia, Matt, Liz, Quentin, etc.) have all been ruled out. The Carver is supposedly someone were kind of familiar with, and Christian's mom says that he supposedly looks exactly like his dad. We're obviously familiar with Christian, so if he and his dad look alike it could be possible. The Carver is a sadistic rapist, as was Christian's father, plus he was never caught back then. It all adds up IMO.

*possible spoilers* I think the Carver is Christian's dad.

High-five Mariotti for finally telling it like it is. Great article.

Do we have any sources for this besides some random guy? If not, I call baloney.

Neither of those guys look too hot.

Because we have six starters so somebody has to go, Garland's value is at an all-time high, and he doesn't want to say here much longer anyway, so we may as well get something for him now.

Out of curiosity, have there been any news/updates from Levine about this since this morning?

I'm hoping for Crawford, but that seems unlikely. Another great choice would be Tejada, but that too seems very unlikely. Maybe we trade Garland for a quality CF (i.e. Kotsay) and a solid reliever in return?

^5 Kenny. I lahke it uh lot

Bruce on AM 1000 now.

Miguel f***ing Tejada? Yes! Git er done, Kenny.

Thanks! Great read. LMAO @ the last line.

Obligatory post time... This Kenny Rogers?
