QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 29, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) Salukis own the Redbirds 68-49! Very relieved, that game really did scare the crap out of me. Now back home for the Shocks on Monday. Can't wait to get back there.

No trading young pitching for Rocco.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Dec 29, 2006 -> 01:06 AM) Bahahaha, I see it.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 27, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) 1. As I count, my wall and door to this very room have 14 combined dings and holes from flying remotes and fists. The wall in the other room has an entire body-sized hole resulting from a FT line dunk on a Little Tykes hoop. 2. I pulled a 4.0 last semester, for those of you know that know me...quite surprising. 3. I have only met 1 SoxTalk poster in real life. 4. I do not own a pair of jeans and wear shorts to school year round. 5. Since weight seems to be a trend: I have lost 12 pounds in 2 months by quitting pop. OMG THAT'S ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 27, 2006 -> 12:30 PM) Well as those who have been around Soxtalk and the ESPN board since back in the day, it was a traditions for me to update my screenname each year with the new year. For 2006, I honored a promise I made a long time ago, which was to honor a World Series winner by not changing the year in the name. Well now 2007 is right around the corner, and I can't decide whether to continue the tribute perpetually, to update the name to 2k7, or to break the mold entirely, and come up with a whole brandnew screenname. What say you, the residents of Soxtalk? I say you keep the name as is.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 27, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) Random sox thing my mom found: Hero Decks presents South Side Edition Chicago They are playing cards. On each card is a drawing of a sox player along with their nickname and a little tidbit about them. The suits are divided into an era of players (spades are most current). Furthermore, each position matches a player from that position. Ace is Buehrle, 2 is AJ, 3 is Konerko, etc. Kind of cool. Also, the two jokers? Veeck and Hawk Did you ask your mom where she got those yet? Anywho, most likely count me in for Friday.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 26, 2006 -> 02:05 PM) I'm dragging Justin to the Hawks game tonight. I wonder if he knows SIU isn't playing? They aren't?!?!??!? I'm not going anymore.

No.

From the parentals: For Christmas: XBox360 with College Hoops 2k7 For Hanukkah: The 05 World Series dvd set(for some reason it was the one dvd thing from 05 I didn't own yet), a siu bball t-shirt, a siu hoody, a White Sox license plate thingy, Talledega Nights, 30 dollars in gift cards to Buffalo Wild Wings and 150 bucks.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 25, 2006 -> 10:21 AM) Wow, this might be my last "kids" X-mas, but I scored big time. -X-Box 360 You damn copy cat.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 24, 2006 -> 05:11 PM) They were one of the least deserving comparatively speaking. All teams have to win 6 games in order to win, but they were one of the worst to ever do it(Since '86 atleast). It's not hard to understand and there is no denying this. You act like I'm the first to come up with such a comment. And everytime you watched them they were dominant last season? You must not have watched many regular season games then. They were far from terrific. That said, they do have a shot again at the NT this year. I would just be very surprised if they do it. There are better teams out there. That Florida team was very good, they absolutely dominated the tournament, only had one close game. You can argue that they were one of the worse teams to win it in a while but that can be argued any way. That team was very good and they're very good again this year.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 11:44 PM) And Charlotte is probably the only people in the world surprised. No kidding.

Just got back from the Bulls game. And this is no exaggeration, Adam Morrison might be the worst defender in NBA history, my god he's bad.

QUOTE(RX Bandits @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) good to see another thinking white sox fan. I am so damn tired of people on this board falling in love with players. I call it Aaron Roawand disease. If people are worried about the 5th starter you need to find another hobby or something Right, cause I'm one of the biggest Aaron Rowand fans around and I was so pissed when we traded him. People are allowed to be mad about a trade, I personally have been high on Brandon for a long time and think he's going to be a special pitcher, so I don't need to hear that I'm too attached to a player. I'm attached to Brandon cause I think he's going to be a very good pitcher.

Boo Have fun returning your gift.

Brackets pending it certainly wouldn't shock me if this the national championship.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) Illinois State will NOT present a problem for SIU. Take a deep breath and relax, my friend. Haha, I'm just worried about the look ahead factor. Obviously WSU coming to the arena is going to be a huge game and that's the next game after the ISU game. Human nature makes it to easy to look ahead. I'm a paranoid person though.

Dawgs win a tough game against the Gaels. Move to 9-2 and are done with our non conf till the bracketbuster in February. Valley play for us starts Friday against Illinois State, that game scares the hell out of me as we play Wichita State afterwards and it would be too easy to look ahead.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 02:44 PM) Didn't KW come out recently and say that they are not cutting payroll? So if that is the case, the money has to be going somewheres. If not, KW will get grilled for it. Well this trade isn't cutting payroll.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) Unfortunately for Brandon, Texas is not exactly the best place for him to 'shine'... Yes I know he's a fly ball pitcher in a fly ball park but he'll be fine, you just watch.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 02:24 PM) Does Masset go directly into our bullpen? He'll get a shot I'd assume. I'm not sure what his option status is but I'm sure he'll at least have an opportunity

We're certainly going to regret letting Brandon go. I honestly can't believe we traded him, the more I think about this the more I want to kill someone, trading McCarthy is going to bite us in the ass this year and forever . Danks is fine but Brandon will be the better starter through out his career. As for Masset I assume he'll get a shot at the bullpen this season. I can't believe Brandon is gone.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) Because it's true? If it weren't for a horrible first half last year, Garland is considered one of the elite pitchers out there. Garland has had one good season, how is that elite?

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 22, 2006 -> 09:39 PM) Nice sig, Rowand!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 22, 2006 -> 06:52 PM) Carolina up 1 at half against a very solid SLU team. Hopefully the Billikens can pull this one out. Well so much for that.
