QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ May 22, 2008 -> 11:34 AM) I think cutting Thome would do unreplaceable damage to this teams chemistry Why would they cut Thome?

What's up with the Wilder thread? It disappeared to be worked on? And now the "placeholder" thread is closed too? Did somebody say too much?

I know Figgins plays all over, is he stronger at any one position?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois. It is very nice and about 5-6 hours from Chicago.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ May 21, 2008 -> 12:11 AM) My favorite Fisk moment was when he yelled at the batter(Rickey Henderson????) for not running out an infield pop fly. Pudge was all over him,right in his ear. Deion Sanders, I don't think anybody had to tell Rickey to run.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 19, 2008 -> 05:53 PM) Wasn't there something about Clemens's dying mother making some kind of predictions before the world series? It was kind of cryptic, she predicted a sweep and then muttered something about Group 4.

I live in St. Louis now. Out side of my dad and my girlfirend, I think I have met two other Sox fans living here.

So in the 12 team league I am in, not a Soxtalk league, there have been no trades made yet this season. Is this normal? Is this lame?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ May 17, 2008 -> 12:35 PM) Anybody have any strategies for finding bands that you like that youve never heard? After going through every avenue to download songs from the bands Ive heard of and becoming curious to find more Ive been trying some new tactics to find new bands I like but have never heard of. Things like looking up the music in tv shows or movies I like, going to billboard.com and so on. Become friends with somebody who works at a good record store, preferably an independant one. One of the guys from Plaza Records turned me on to countless bands when I lived in Carbondale.

I saw Wilco last night, the current lineup of the band is phenomonal.

Swisher will be on Rome is Burning in about 2 minutes.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 15, 2008 -> 10:02 PM) Anyone know the fastest pitcher to 10 wins in one season? Kalapse? He is about to be 9-0, barring an implosion. They're trying.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ May 15, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) Theres the three "s's" of being a hick *please note that Im not using hick as a derogatory word or to offend anyone Im simply repeating what I heard when I went away to Carbondale* soda, supper, sofa Funny, cause it seems most SIU students are from Chicago.

No love for Ski?

Has anybody here ever seen the Dancing Outlaw?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 15, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) I bought an NBA official breakaway rim today and a universal mounting bracket for my backboard. I'm excited. Can you dunk?

Oh yeah, I forgot one. Posters who take credit for a win because they started a thread.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 14, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) This is where you step back and smack yourself in the face and then apologize for your previous post Thank you, I wasn't sure how to respond to that without getting myself in trouble on here.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 14, 2008 -> 09:47 AM) Anchorman is one of the top comedies of all time. Tell me how you feel the 30th time you watch it. That's just like...your opinion, man.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 14, 2008 -> 02:05 AM) Anyone here enjoy Umphrey's McGee? I've seen them live, but I can't say I'm a fan.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ May 12, 2008 -> 09:53 PM) I was probably getting f***ed with but I thought I heard that, or maybe the guy who owned a bunch was running for mayor I cant remember his name right now, but I'm pretty sure the guy who owned Stix ran for mayor a while back.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 13, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) I agree. I'd almost go as far as to say that all 4 teams, and perhaps even all 5 teams, are one move away from turning it on and going on a run. What move would you suggest for our boys?

Robbie Alomar & Carl Everett returning jokes stopped being funny a few years ago. "(fill in the blank) says hi." As a way to refute somebody's post is way overused as is the method of "fixing" somebody's post.
