Lunardi was just on college gamenight. He has SIU and IU in now, so that's nice for me and greasy. I still think we have to get to the championship to get in but who the hell knows. Our resume is really better then most bubble teams but I just get the feeling that the committee won't want to take 5-6 mvc teams, though if you're just looking at the resume, all 6 should really have a good shot. We'll see, it's going to be a fun weekend in St. Louis and if we don't come out the winner there, it's going to be a nervous week.

So I finally get my hotel booked for this weekend in St. Louis and my friends car, which we're supposed to take broke down today.

I don't think we should use the heads good luck game threads until the regular season. But that's just me.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) I ask this question, if everyone is such a sports fan, why don't you care about sports on the ultimate level(worldwide competition)? I never got that. Cause a lot of the sports in the olympics I just don't care about. For the sports I do, the rest of the world cares about the medals more then the U.S. to be honest. The olympics just never interest me. It's nothing against the olympics, I personally just don't care.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) Do all of you guys drive to downtown or something? I would love to have the olympics here. It would be a great thing for the city. Holding the Olympic Games here alone pays for costs and then some. I doubt the Metra schedule changes if the Olympic games are held here. Same with CTA. In fact, they'll probably run more frequent. I'm sure most of you guys take public transportation anyway. I say quit the complaing and have a good time watching a bunch of sports. If I cared about the olympics I wouldn't care about all that stuff but I don't so I do.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) I'm sure he was serious about being productive still, but I can't believe "prime" wasn't a joke. Anyway, as someone around 30, that's immediately how I recognized it, fwiw. Fair enough.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) It was a joke... Maybe you're too young to understand this, but people very close to 30 and 40 love to talk about how young they are. 'After all, it's not like I'm 30!' It's tongue-in-cheek. The way the q and a went, I really doubt he was joking.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) and Jim Thome is in his prime? Never said he was. That being said, Thome is one year removed from having a great season.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) You don't call him an idiot period. I'm sorry but the comments in that article were idiotic. Your prime is between 37-40? Why not take it further and say that el duque is in his prime. GMAFB.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) I think some are mistaken by thinking this blowup by KW is just from Frank's recent comments. As far as I can tell, this is an overall backlash at the kind of guy Frank has been since KW has been in charge. I think the recent interview, while not exactly a thrashing of the Sox organization, was just the straw that broke the camels back. Bingo.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) ...not to mention the absolute chaos downtown. It would be horrendous...absolutely unbearable. That would be my problem with it. When I'm in town for the summer I'd like to actually be able to go downtown and such.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 06:39 PM) Wow this is really out of hand. In May when Frank comes back to Chicago, we will all be remembering the 2 MVPs and what should have been #3 if not for roids and Giambi. We will be remembering his 1st inning home runs. We will be remembering his complete domination of the sport in the early 1990s. I hope so but I doubt this thing dies quietly.

God, I hope not.

Last year I finally thought Frank has turned the corner on this crap but he just hasn't, he's starting to whine again and it really has become ridiculous. I don't like how this stuff is obviously going to become the story following around the team but Kenny has taken the high road long enough on this stuff, enough is enough at some point. As much as Frank has meant to the organization Kenny means more now, and I mean that.

QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 03:58 PM) Uribe is the worst base runner on the team... far and away in my opinion. Seconded.

Anyways, uconn takes round 2. Round 3, March 11th in New York.

Well uconn fans should probably be shot. An overrated chant?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 02:23 PM) Can one f***ing player please leave on good terms? JFC Timo.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 02:22 PM) O' boy, here we go..... My thoughts exactly.

Nova down 3 at half.

Watching these two teams go at each other is so fun.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) Alright, lets make a fair analogy. If BA had said, "no, I don't garden, thats black folk work"--would you be so quick to write it off as "joking around"? I don't believe so. Why the double standard? Why is it OK to stereotype one historically opressed group but not the other? Like I said, I don't think it's that harmful to women that he said that, however I don't believe it's appropriate to "joke around" when issues of sexism, racism, etc or involved. lol, I'm just going to let this go cause I don't want to send another thread down the s***ter. Hopefully my gf has my sandwich ready by now.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 01:12 PM) I think it's an ignorant statement by BA and I certainly think less of him now, however, on a scale of 100 on "things that hurt women" I'd say that statement ranks about a 2. I'll save my bile for wife beaters, child abusers, and rapists. To conclude: ignorant thing to say, but not that hurtful, so I don't really care. Ay jeez, he was probably just joking around.
