crazy. i saw matt long pitch in high school a few years ago. i had no idea this was the same matt long.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 06:29 PM) I love Barry Zito. oh, really? not that there's anything wrong with that.

i knew about carl's statements, which didn't surprise me. he's a fundamentalist christian, and sometimes those folks aren't very tolerant when it comes to homosexuality. i did not hear about smoltz's statements, though. i'd guess there are gay players on every team. general societal statistics would probably support that. i couldn't care less myself. i don't care about anyone's sexual orientation any more than i'd care about someone's religion, race, ethnicity, etc. i'd hope we get to a point in this world where those things are less of a concern, but that's probably a pipe dream. to the original poster, i've never heard about zito being gay. he's kind of a flake, but that's about it.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) Then what's the point of message boards? Just because you may not be able to change something directly doesn't mean you can't b**** about it. true enough. my comment was directed at the poster telling me "THREADS LIKE THIS MAKE ME SICK." he's entitled to that opinion, as i'm entitled to tell him that his sickness over a thread on a message board isn't going to make the team better. if you want to offer up constructive criticism, great. it might not accomplish anything, but i enjoy reading various opinions that i agree and disagree with. imho, "THREADS LIKE THIS MAKE ME SICK" adds nothing to the discourse.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 02:41 AM) YAY!!!!!!!!!!!(positive part) let's all stick our heads in the sand and pretend everything is perfect. THREADS LIKE THIS MAKE ME SICK because what we do makes a damn bit of difference to what the sox do. maybe if we all cry and b**** and moan, somehow that will make the team play better. sounds logical to me.

color me a homer, but i still like what i've seen this year out of this team. frankly amazes me that people have s***pants over the recent rough stretch. it probably shouldn't amaze me, but i guess people thought we were just going to kick-ass from beginning to end. sorry, that doesn't happen. this team will be fine.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 11:00 PM) Turner is going to be in Champaign on an unofficial visit. McCamey won't be there as St. Joes isn't in that tourney. EJ, Rose, Tisdale, and Cole will be playing though. could be a really productive weekend. i like the fact turner is choosing to go down there and visit when so many signees and potential signees are going to be on-hand. hopefully some former players will be able to make it as well.

dye!

i don't have a premium subscription but i'll take your word for it. i have no doubt zook will pursue him hard until signing day. hopefully vontae and juice can provide some assistance in that pursuit as well.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 07:46 PM) I'm pretty sure that we are still on Benn's list. USC is off and we are on...this was posted incorrectly! I still se no way we are going to get him but I thought I would correct the original post. then something must have changed since may 25. in the interview at the link his quote is: i know how recruiting is and kids are fickle, so i suppose it's possible he has kicked off usc and added illinois. any link for this? not trying to be an ass, it's just that as an illinois fan i'd be very excited if we were back in the picture.

five-star 2007 recruit evan turner from st. joseph's has declared illinois as his leader. turner and teammate demetri mccamey will be in champaign this weekend playing in a basketball tournament. also attending will be 2007 illinois commit eric gordon, and 2007 target derrick rose.

benn narrows list to five notre dame, southern cal, florida state, miami, and maryland.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ May 25, 2006 -> 04:29 PM) Pods actually got clocked by Barrett too... who knew bill cowher was a sox fan? lol.

if a.j. gets anything it will be complete and total bulls***.

i like stephen, but i tend to like his show better than his commentary on other shows. when he's in other places (nba pregame show, sportscenter spots) i think he overexaggerates his already boisterous image. to me, on his show he seems more laid back and comfortable and not as given to bombast.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) Well Dumpster will get to talk about his blown save, loss tonight after Todd Walker made a game saving play on the previous batter. sucks to be ryan dempster this week.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 20, 2006 -> 07:34 PM) Anyone else think The Legend of Boone Logan will appear today? *shudder*

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ May 20, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) Thanks, doc! hey no problem. i saw it elsewhere and had to share, especially for folks like myself who are stuck with new york-new york.
