QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 09:23 AM) Yes. But I thought it was classless. And he got much worse than a "mixed" reaction -- the crowd really gave it to him, sad to say. I'm kind of going the other way. Watching it on TV I thought it was pretty close to even with most of the boos being from obnoxious people. Either way I'm sure most people there are not supportive of him, but I thought most seemed to be respectful other than the small percent of loud booers.

What about Baseketball, come on guys let's think outside the box, haha.

QUOTE(southsidehawkeye @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) i did, graduated last May. Where are you originally from?

you know if I do this, it'll be hard for me to keep increasing my post count, so I don't now if I can do both, haha jk. I'll try to get more involved this year.

A little high, but Bush has got a good arm.

Go Kansas, represent the midwest (or since I picked them to win.)

My brother was pissed they lost. He's going to South Dakota more than likely and he said this might be the only championship he'd get to see them win.

Let's win it all Kansas!!!! Damn, they should've tried for a quicker basket instead of waiting til the end.

QUOTE(southsidehawkeye @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 04:57 PM) yeah, seems like we've been drawing them an awful lot lately... i kinda like it though, good to start the season off with an inner-division rival game. Plus CC vs Buehrle is always a fun match up. Lets start the season off with a solid win! Welcome aboard, do you go to Iowa?

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 10:30 AM) If there is anything this thread has proved, it's that your major is probably worth jack s*** for what one truly wants to do. Not many people seem to be doing what they specialized in through college. Should we all be accountant or business majors? Screw the safe route. I'm not in creative writing for the job. I'm in it because I like it. Yeah there are tons of people that aren't doing what their major specializes. If anything a degree is just to show you have the work ethic to deal with a job. College can't give you all of the experience you need to succeed at a job.

AL/NL East Rays/Nationals AL/NL Central Royals/Reds AL/NL West Rangers/Giants AL/NL Wild Card Orioles/Pirates Haha actually I'll go with: Red Sox, Mets Tigers, Brewers Mariners, Dodgers Indians, Diamondbacks I'll keep the Wild Card tradition of being the World Series going and say Indians over Mets.

All of that stuff sounds really tasty.

ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is this, the 4th year we've opened with the Indians? I know it's at least the 4th year.

When ARod was on the Rangers they were always in the top 5, and I thought that was funny since they were bad. Hopefully this doesn't happen to us.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 10:57 AM) Impressive. Shouldn't be too long before one of you coughs up a lung and you've got your basketball lol awesome But that is cool to see a basketball hoop out of that. Maybe I'll go start buying candy cigarettes to try it, haha.

The White Sox are the bad guys in a lot of movies. Angels in the Outfield, Major League 2, and consequently because of the Black Sox scandel Field of Dreams and Eight Men Out.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Mar 29, 2008 -> 11:45 PM) I do actually. heh. I love Bernie Mac. They just had my favorite part of Bull Durham. "You told him I was gonna throw the deuce huh?" "Yup... Boy that ball got out of here in a hurry didn't it? Anything that flies that far's gotta have a damn steardess on it." lol yeah I love that part too. That's my favorite and was glad to see it just now. Since I'm from Iowa, I have to watch The Final Season sometime, it's about a school that had won 19 of 23 State Championships and they are going to have to consolidate so the rookie head coach has one shot at bringing championship #20 to the town of Norway, Iowa.

Yasny: Rookie of the Year A League of Their Own is a great one, that was on WGN the other day. I also didn't mind The Babe, especially if nothing else is on. Fever Pitch was better than I thought it was going to be. I honestly haven't seen all of Eight Men Out, I really need to. Anyone like Mr. 3000? haha.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 29, 2008 -> 10:06 PM) Please go pro I'll second that.

Field of Dreams I just watched Angels in the Outfield a few months ago. I hadn't seen it in a decade easily, but it was fun watching because I caught a lot of things that I understand now as an adult, so that was cool.

One thing I can't stand about college basketball refs is when someone on defense basically knocks over a player to get the ball, nothing is called, then he goes up for a shot and is either entirely missed, or slightly hit and they call a foul. I hate the inconsistancy of calling fouls.

Louisville needs to get their act together. I picked them in the Final 4 in my money bracket. I'm looking like an idiot.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 29, 2008 -> 08:25 PM) Here we take 4th and 5th outfielders and make them leadoff guys and starters. Haha with the way Dye played today all the outfield spots are a blur to me.
