Cats are awesome.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 12:14 PM) Damn, I wish I was still in Urbana. A lot less people there right now for summer school and two Jimmy Johns close by. JJ's the best super late night food. See, I like JJ's when I'm sober, it was never really my drunk food of choice. Give me Pizza or Nachos(the SIU folks know what I'm talking about here) for that.

Too many to choose from.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) How much time does he have with the Sox? When will it be time to start talking contract? We have him under control for a while. Because of that, we wont start talking contract for some time, or at least we shouldn't.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) Well here are some of his ranks among American League outfielders HR - 3rd RBI - 1st OBP - 4th SLG - 4th OPS - 3rd 2B - 1st So to me that's a pretty compelling case to be an all-star. And Alexei is the best SS in the AL so that's why he should be there. We really should have 4 guys IMO (PK, Santos). That being said, I highly doubt we get more than 2. Honestly, because of the competition, Konerko is probably the least deserving candidate despite having a great season so far. Quentin, Santos and Alexei all should be there though I'm sure we'll manage to get 1 AS.

Konerko has some stiff competition as does CQ. Alexei and Santos should be on the team with out a question.

Is Humber real life? God damn.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 12:03 PM) I wouldn't expect you to like any of our picks, really. To be fair, the 2nd rd pick does seem kinda meh. But the other 2 seem like good risks.

We got a scouting report on McMillen?

This is seriously Jared Mitchell all over again except Mitchell was playing at the division 1 level.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) Is it in syndication? ABC family I guess. 6 in the morning today, that's the only time I've seen it on tv though as of the last few years.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) I feel like you are somehow disagreeing with me. Ha, not really. Just expanding on your point.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) Clayton Richard has been the best of those 4 that we traded, and he looks like a fringe #5 guy right now. The Peavy trade has really not worked out for either team, the only problem is we are paying him a ton of money. Clayton has a 5.97 era this year away from Petco and that's in the National League. And even in a "good" year last season, he struggled hardcore away from home. He's not good. I'm certainly not as big of a KW supporter as I used to be but that's a trade you make every time. None of those guys were going to amount to anything and everyone knew it, we took our chance on acquiring an ace and unfortunately he just keeps getting hurt.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 05:07 PM) Adam Russel (now with the Rays), Clayton Richard (starting for the Padres), Dexter Carter (released by San Diego, back with us already) and one other pitcher I can't recall. Aaron Poreda. We literally traded nothing of value.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 04:07 PM) That's the problem with re-building in my opinion, KW doesn't identify prospects well. I think we need to, but with someone other than KW at the helm. Ya, if we ever go into full rebuild mode, KW certainly isn't the man for the job.

I just got done watching an episode of Boy Meets World. God, I love that show.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 02:45 AM) psssh, high D. Was gonna say. That's a pretty rough scale there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) Well this series is over. The team that wins game 3 in the finals when it was 1-1 coming in has never lost. There's absolutely no way that's true.

f***IN AWESOME!!! DIRK!!!!!!!

I'm one of the few who has always hated Shaq. Happy he's gone.

Ben Gordon sucks, keep him far away from the Bulls, please.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ May 31, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Awesome man, you'll have a blast. It was my favorite race I did last year. I'll be running that again this year too with the girl. It'll be her first half as well; she's in week 6 of training right now. And Higdon is still a great guide for a training plan for the half. Awesome, I'll shoot you a text when it gets closer to race time. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 10:11 AM) I have a severe case of patellar tendonitis in my left knee and my doc said I have to not workout for at least a week or maybe two. Its literally driving me crazy and today is only day 4. It really takes a toll mentally when you have to take any time off for whatever reason. Just when you can, get right back into it and you'll start to feel much better again.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ May 31, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) I hate the Heat even more now that they are a win closer to the championship. This Heat team was put together to ruin lives.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ May 31, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) Hal Higdon is who I used for my first, and my 2nd go around was a more personalized plan but still heavily influenced by Higdon. I know you've been working out and running heavy, but hopefully you got yourself a strong base going. I know it's usually suggested to be capable of running at least 6 miles comfortably, before going into a MTP. Most plans will expect for you to officially have started training a few weeks ago, but I would suggest jumping into one where you're capable and as close to timing it out right with your race to ensure at least one 20 miler and a 2-3 week taper beforehand as well. Which one are you going to be running? Half marathon actually and I run about 5 miles every other day but I've never really tried to push myself much more than that, I think I'm capable of doing a decent amount more if need be. And it's the Rock n Roll half Chicago Marathon on August 14th.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 31, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) A lot of that is the same good young talent they've had for 5 years. It's not as young anymore. They have a pitching staff this year. That's one of the main reasons. Their stats are so unimpressive though, up and down that roster. That's why I asked the question, I know they have the talent but when you look at the collective statistical output by that team, it's kind of hard to figure out how they're in 1st place.
