I'm impressed that some of you guys can still get excited for this. Certainly a nice comeback but I can't get into this whatsoever.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) Used to have an airbrush business, but got tired of the business end of it. Got to the point where I hated it painting anymore. After a 7 year break, I recently started doing it again for ministry work within our local church. (murals. paintings, etc)It became enjoyable again. No longer doing what I felt "Forced" to do because of customers demands, but now doing it for reasons that I "want" to. That's badass dude

Scary stuff.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) How so? You mean Mark wouldn't have retaliated at all after Paulie got hit in the face and then the ump would have issued a warning to both teams after Pierre got drilled later? I mean that I'm sure Mark wouldn't have come out and said that he did it on purpose.

Beckham still has a ton of trade value and to answer the original question, No he needs to stay.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 07:45 AM) I kind of agree. It was too ridiculous to have Chad Ochocinco have that much of a role and I don't like the inclusion of Rafa. They already have Taco. Seemed like they calmed down the Taco character for that episode. I agree about Rafa, he's pretty lame but overall I liked the episode a lot.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 01:06 PM) Don't drink a pint of Hennessey and then have a 6 Blue Moons and then go to the club and drink 3 Long Island's because great things will happen if you do. Good drink selections. I have not been drunk in 2 weeks. Life sucks.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) Have you ever seen a fox? And then realized "s*** that's a fox, I've never seen one in real life"? No, so I guess my answer to the 2nd question would also have to be no.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 06:47 AM) Yes, because 3 starts is a legitimate body of work to judge a guy by. And for the 4375274734274844 time, Jackson was pitching under the same conditions and flat sucked. And it looks as if he's reverting back to his hit or miss self with us. Just a putrid trade by a GM that's been absolutely brutal the last 2+ years. While the rest of your post is valid, it's way too early to jump to this conclusion. I agree with everything else though, the trade was a bad one from the beginning.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 07:36 AM) I thought it was great. My favorite scene was this: Affleck: I need your help...I can't tell you what it's about, you can never ask me about it later, and we're going to hurt some people. Renner: Whose car we taking? Agreed and agreed.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) Mark said he was "told" to do it. It was stupid for him to say it. He should have just said nothing, or said, "It slipped", or said, "I didn't mean to hit Cuddeyer just as Pavano didn't mean to hit Konerko." But you never admit you did it on purpose. The Sox under Ozzie still haven't learned how to handle this type of thing. I'm pretty sure if we were still in the race it would have been handled differently. At this point, who cares?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) My inclination is to say that it was Mark's call, as Ozzie has shied away from hitting people in the last few years. I want to use a stronger term than "shied away," but I'll just say it was Mark's call and that's it. Indeed.

I've been a huge Kenny backer through out the years but at this point I really don't care if he gets removed. Ozzie has to go though imo. That being said, we all know that they'll both be back.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 07:12 PM) Illinois up 21-3. Where is the guy that said SIU was going to win easy? QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 08:01 PM) He's right here JUST WAIT 'TIL BASKETBALL. :unsure: :crying

I'm somewhere between single and dating. Ya, I don't get it either.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 11:50 PM) And our GM is Kenny Williams. They'll both be with other organizations this time next year. Sale isn't going anywhere. Morel just might.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) 22 I can't believe we've had 71 votes and no one under 18. I started posting here when I was 15. 23. But ya, I also started posting here when I was 15.

Sale!

One more fastball close and he gone. He has nooooo shot if Chris throws a strike with the heater. That works too, two down!

f***in Willie Bloomquist would be the leadoff hitter this inning.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) Obviously, he would not be the hold up. Noah is a fine player, but it's easier to replace him than it is to acquire a Melo type talent. Taj Gibson would not hold me up either. Derrick Rose becomes the second option. That is incredible to think about. Rose-Brewer-Melo-Boozer-Przybilla type big man (maybe add him to a Rudy Fernandez trade), you have a fighting chance against Miami. While adding Melo and giving up Noah certainly makes you a better team, I still really don't think you have that much of a shot against the Heat. Now if we can add Anthony and keep Noah then you might just have a somewhat legit shot at winning a title.

QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 06:53 AM) I am officially married. Awesome wedding in Bar Harbor, Maine. Yikes, sorry to hear that. Just playin, congrats

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) And if Boise wants to get more respect then play these BCS non conference games back to back to back. Right now they only play BCS teams when they can get an extended period of time to prepare for them. They are off this week before playing Wyoming on the 18th and then Oregon State comes to town. So they are basically getting another month off to prepare for 1 game. This you just gotta stop with. It's not Boise's fault that they can hardly get any bcs teams on their schedule. They gotta take whatever the f*** they can get.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 10:35 AM) Boise State has played Washington, Oregon and Oregon State several times since 2002 (as far back as ESPN's schedules go). They're 4-3 against the "mighty" Pac-10 over that stretch, with zero games against usual contenders USC and Cal (though Oregon is legit). If you expand it to all BCS conferences, they're 7-7 over that period. People also seem to forget that they've lost bowl games to East Carolina, BC, Louisville and TCU as well as losses to Fresno State and Hawaii that would be a pretty major black mark against a good major conference team (well, not TCU so much). That's the beauty of their current situation: they play 1-3 games against BCS teams (including Bowls) a year instead of the 8-10 for power conference teams. No one remembers when they lose because it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, and when they win they're the mighty underdog that should be playing for a national championship. Sample size against consistently tough competition is pretty key. Someone like Northwestern (a decidedly average major conference team) has some pretty major wins over the same stretch, but no one cares because they also see them lose consistently to teams like Ohio State and Penn State as well as dropping the occasional game to Minnesota, Michigan State, Syracuse, ect. Boise State doesn't get that because they play in a weaker conference and rack up impressive win totals against teams that most BCS teams schedule as their out of conference games to make sure they get enough wins for bowl eligibility. Boise State really hasn't been the Boise State that everyone talks about though since 2006. And since that time they've only lost to one team from a bcs conference. And if you're going to bring up Northwestern, the reason they might be able to pull off a big upset every now and than is because they get a ton more opportunities to face that competition so that argument works both ways. And yes, I'd absolutely love to see these guys in the title game, they wouldn't and shouldn't be favored in that game but there's just no way in hell that they get blown out by any team in the country, it's just not happening.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) The whole Thome thing is a gigantic buttload of hindsight being 20/20. Not at all, considering everyone in the f***in world minus Ozzie Guillen thought having Thome as our dh over Kotsay/Jones was the way to go.
