QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 12:03 PM) Pablo actually is a pretty decent bench player. He plays multiple positions, and isn't afraid of tough lefties. He just is not a starter. And he can bunt, move runners over and run. I love Pablo coming off the bench.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 10:11 AM) I would have to say that the only time we truly saw Uribe go on a streak was when he was the superutility guy coming off the bench in 2004. Maybe he has to have his comfort level taken away from him This is exactly how I feel. I might be in the minority but though he'd obviously be an expensive bench player, I'd rather keep Juan than to just dump him off, I really think he holds a lot of value playing that super utility role.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 28, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) I find the great exaggeraters amusing. People who say that any one of those things won the championship are selectively ignoring much of the picture. Pitching was number 1, no doubt. But defense, Pods' presence at the top, lots of home runs, good situational hitting when the team needed it, some luck, some small ball, and even a little bit of that intangible grindiness all came into play. No way that team wins the title without ALL those things. This is so freakin true. Good stuff.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 12:45 AM) Has anyone ever done High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)? If you haven't, google it and take it under consideration. I'm in the peculiar position of training to gain weight, but meanwhile burning excess fat. I didn't want to abandon cardio workouts in the process, either. So I found HIIT and decided to try it out tonight since the temperature outside was around 40. And let me just say, it knocks the living hell out of you. The concept behind the entire program is running at maximum effort for a short period of time, walking for several minutes, then repeating the process. I would run as fast as I could for 15 seconds and rest for roughly two minutes. It seemed fairly easy in the beginning. After about set four I could no longer run at 100%, but I trudged along anyways. Then the maximum effort decreased, and the breaks became longer than two minutes. By the time I got to my 8th set I was about to pass out. Couldn't do anymore. People swear by this, and judging from just one day I wouldn't blame them. My entire body is exhausted; and I'm in shape. I previously would jog at a moderate pace for 30 minutes. The only reason I abandoned jogging was it seemed to be holding back my muscle growth. It's a good program and I"m sure people such as Tru have heard of it. I'm intrigued.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jan 28, 2008 -> 12:10 AM) even though ideally I do not want owens starting, b/c i want to see quentin in our OF, I think some people's opinions of him are a little too exaggerated for the amount of time we've seen him. His power is a big issue. But he does have a good eye and makes contact. And while he likely will only be a 4th OF, if this kid can hit over.300 while getting on base another 60 to 80 points above that, with his speed and who's behind him, he would have quite a few teams bidding for his services in my opinion. And I don't think those numbers I mentioned are out of the realm of possibility by any means. edit: and that last statement, to clarify, was my way of saying he could find jobs starting on more than a few mlb teams. I'm pretty sure everyone would be fine with Owens starting if he could put up a .360-.380 obp. That isn't happening though, ever.

I could not get any good pics of her. Sorry guys.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jan 27, 2008 -> 12:41 AM) Watching SIU this year makes my eyes hurt. Ya, well we never play the prettiest of basketball but this year is just gross. But this game was fun as hell, pretty much reminded me why I never want to graduate, good times. Might have been a disgusting game but it was fun as all hell to be there. And Erin Andrews is better than advertised. Jeez.

Best 48-44 game of all time.

Gameday was pretty fun. My uglyness at one point was the only face on tv, so that's kinda scary.

Waking up at 8 is hard.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 25, 2008 -> 11:42 PM) Have fun SIU boys tomorrow at Gameday. I'll do my best.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 25, 2008 -> 04:59 PM) Where they setting up their stage? Take a pic of Erin Andrews with your phone and send it to me. I'm not 100 percent sure(I read it a while ago but forgot). And done.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 25, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) I think RPI is more important in College Basketball, what are those number right now?? http://kenpom.com/rpi.php

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jan 25, 2008 -> 03:55 PM) Link? We're not good, but I would imagine DePaul has a top-20 SOS. 20 on the dot.

Everyone better watch College Gameday tomorrow. It'll be the highlight of our season.

I'll take Memphis and UCLA up against any other teams. For my money, those are the two best teams in the country.

Major city by far.

Lost on another buzzer beater on a phantom foul. Unreal, this team can't catch a break.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) Guitar Hero is more addictive than heroin. That's all. Heroin hero?

1. Chicago 2. New York Everything else My least favorite big city is easily L.A.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 12:51 PM) Five hours. I urge people to support everyone's favorite mid major playing major college athletics, Iowa State. GO CLONES

There have been some deals that I haven't liked just looking at that deal only but I really like what Kenny has done overall. But once again, the starting rotation scares the hell out of me(sorry balta).

Best: 2005, nuff said Worst: Last years SIU-KU game. Felt like my world just ended.

:cheers
