Rowand44

This is the first time I've seen a full show but have any of the women completed the hand bike? They always had trouble with that thing when it was at the start of the eliminator in it's first go around, I can't imagine many being able to conquer it, ditto with the treadmill thing.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) The Sox need a power hitter on the bench? As of today two of Uribe, Crede, and Fields will be on the bench. Neither Crede or Fields will be bench players. Crede will either be starting or gone and Fields will either be starting or in aaa(better be starting).

Love it. I'm actually starting to get excited about this team, that scares me.

Last year I definitely went with the no shaving until SIU lost a game and it went nearly 2 months there. The beard was out of control.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 20, 2008 -> 03:59 PM) BTW, Row, our agreement is working out. NCAA championship, man.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 20, 2008 -> 01:00 PM) Crud, just noticed Wednesday is the annual Sure Loss for SIU. @ Mizz State. We won there last year. Two in a row would be nice. I'm sure we'll play horrible though.

Depending on what happens with the Crede/Fields situation, I think at this point we're looking at: OCab ss Swish cf Thome dh Konerko 1b Dye rf AJP c Crede/Fields 3b Quentin lf Richar 2b

Well we're still better than the 2 worst teams in the Valley. So that's good news. Mini Rant: We've lost on two buzzer beaters this season and we also lost a game where we blew a 9 point lead in the last 4 minutes. We win those 3 games like we should have and this whole season is completely different. Obviously, good teams usually find a way to win those types of games but it sucks to think about what could have been. sigh.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 10:12 AM) I think he was a bit surprised that the puck came back to him, really. It bounced around a little from the pokecheck and came back to him with everyone else out of position. He did all the work to create that play, and in a huge situation (down a goal in the final minute of play) - it was a true "playmaker's play". Ya, good call.

If Danks and Floyd produce decently then we have a shot. That's a huge IF though and I just can't see it happening. We really improved our offense and I think our pen is going to be pretty solid as well but once again, the rotation scares the hell out of me.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 09:36 AM) Why not include a vesting option? I think that's fair. But if he wants more than a year guaranteed then we just have to move on.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 10:00 AM) I still give the slight edge to Toews, just because the goalie screwed up the pokecheck on Nash's goal. Both spectacular goals, though. Both really cool to watch. Nash almost seemed like he was surprised that the net was so open at the end

Kenny has forgot more about hockey than most of you guys will ever know. Not trying to be a jackass but it's true. That's all I have to add. Nice to see the Hawks get another W. Hopefully they're starting to get themselves healthy.

Bull. They can't have him.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 01:40 PM) What is, realistic? After this off-season, I really am starting to put less and less stock on what players are making. As you say, "11 million over 2 years would be quite a stupid risk" Why? Because it's too much money? If the Sox are comfortable giving Dotel 5.5 a season, why shouldn't I be. With as bad as the pen was last year, Dotel might be the biggest boom or bust signing on the market, and if the Sox are going to compete this season, they are going to need some guys go BOOM, so why not? I would love this deal because it's only a 2 year deal. 5.5 is a lot of money for a reliever who has been injured for a while now but it's only a 2 year deal, it's not a contract that would be haunting us for a few years. It would also add more depth to the pen, having Jenks, Linebrink, Thornton, MacDougal, Dotel, Wasserman, Logan, lots of options there.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) I'm shocked that people actually want the fatass, over-the-hill Colon back. I think I'd rather take my chances with someone like Garcia over Colon. When you have Contreras, Danks and Floyd in your rotation, an insurance policy certainly wouldn't hurt. Colon most likely is done but if you can sign him on the cheap, I see no reason why you shouldn't.

That was pretty sweet.

So what's going on?

Cut Curry, sign Tatum.

QUOTE(rackemup @ Jan 17, 2008 -> 02:58 AM) Both Damaso Marte and Billy Koch had tremendous game blowing ability Brandon Mcarthy - I swear the rangers visited this site daily and never watched his game footage in order to give up danks for him. seriously, thanks soxtalk for over hyping this trash pile Damaso was fantastic for two years. Brandon's era was almost a full run better than Danks' last season.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jan 17, 2008 -> 12:09 PM) http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?S=78&F=14...1&t=1867592 There's the video. Watch the end of it and find a punch thrown. He stops before he even gets to Paulus, Paulus gets bumped in the nose by another FSU player before Reid even gets there, this is all after Paulus punches at the ball in the FSU players hand and then proceeds to try and kick anyone in the balls. God I hope his brother isn't as big of a b**** as he is. Paulus didn't punch anyone there, he stripped the ball and then proceeded to kick like a baby but he definitely didn't try to punch anyone. Looks to me like Reid hit Paulus a bit but nothing too major, he still threw a punch at him though.

Easiest. Semester. Ever.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 06:27 PM) I know we have a few posters that are currently at UIC. How the hell do you guys not have Comcast Sports Net??? One of my buddies who lived in downtown last year didn't get it either. Made no sense.

LIEFERRRRRRRRRRR

That's different.
