these people are as lame as me posting on a mesage board at 3 am

QUOTE(qwerty @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 05:15 AM) Ya, i know it was on espn. If there was a thread here i missed it. No big deal. It can just be deleted or whatever needs to be down with it. I clicked the link and just watched it again about 18 times. I love the stunned reactions of the other team lol

All this Indian talk is going to attract a certain Indian troll

welcome to last week. kidding aside , it was like 5 of espns top 10 plays a week ago. I think their was a thread about this shot too.

what an awesome pic! Why cant all girls look like this?

That deal heavily favors the lakers. Their has to be something else to why Utah would do this.

nbadraft.net has deron going # 10 and luther going # 40

Is it a coincidence that everything about her some how gets put to public? i.e sex tape, phone hack. Attention seeking conspiracy? Not likely but what if?

ATTENTION Curry Bashers: 1Before you rip curry a new AHOLE make sure this rumor has credibility. 2 If this was Tyson you all would have given him the benefit of the doubt. (I love both Tyson and eddy equally, but some of you need to lay off of Eddy) 3 Never trust New York. ( funny how they always seem to had Curry going to the Knicks the last 3 years, Now we're winning and he wants to leave?) I dont buy it.

http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/gordon_letter_050217.html February 17, 2005 A Personal Letter From Ben Gordon: I just wanted to take a moment to drop you, one of our great fans, a quick note to formally introduce myself to you and to let you know how honored I feel to be playing for the Bulls and representing the great city of Chicago. We had a rough start at 0-9, but you continue to come out to the United Center and watch us compete every night. That speaks volumes about your loyalty. I remember watching on TV how packed the stadium always looked, how excited the crowd was and how much energy was in the building. I can really see that same energy coming back—the buzz of the crowd during pregame, kids yelling, screaming and asking for autographs during shootaround–we're definitely starting to turns things around. Growing up as a kid I was definitely a Bulls fan. Like many of you, I tried watching every game during the championship years when Michael, Scottie and Dennis were here. My favorite memory has to be Mike's last shot against Utah. That was simply unbelievable. This summer I had a chance to play a lot of hoops with Michael over at Hoops the Gym. I tried to pick up as much as I could from him just by observing him and watching how he handled himself. The best advice he gave me was that rest and diet were so important to having a healthy and successful NBA season and career. Most guys will just tell you to go out there and play hard, but Michael really got down to the point with me. My mom has definitely been the biggest influence in my life. All throughout my playing days at UConn and now during my rookie season, she's always there to motivate me. She doesn't know a lot about the game, but the advice and guidance she gives me is so valuable. Any time I struggle, she always tells me to go out there and continue to work and remember that basketball is supposed to be fun. On the basketball side of things, my biggest influences have been guys like Gary Payton, Isiah Thomas and Dennis Johnson. I've tried to take little things from each of their games and work it into mine. I especially admire Gary Payton's post moves and his spin game to the baseline. When I'm away from basketball, I'm very family oriented. I don't get to spend that much time with my family being on the road as much as we are (although they try to make it out here to Chicago twice a month), so I make the most of every chance I get. I love movies and rank “Scarface,” “Casino” and “Soul in the Hole” as my all-time favorites. My music favorites include 50 Cent, Nas and Jay-Z. Coach Skiles is very demanding of us day in and day out. He's always teaching us how to get better as individuals and as a team—his intensity has certainly rubbed off. Come game time, he's as fired up as anyone. I also can't say enough about the veteran leadership we have on this team. Antonio, Othella, Eric, Adrian—they've had an outstretched hand both on and off the court the entire season. Whether it's teaching us defensive strategies or simply encouraging us to play our own games, they've always been there for me and the rest of our young guys. Finally, I want to say that I'm really excited about where this team is headed and I hope you are too. Our whole attitude has changed since the beginning of the season. Everybody is a lot more confident now that we're winning and our chemistry has gotten so much better. My main goal when I came here was to help us make the playoffs, and with your continued support that is beginning to look more and more realistic. Thanks a million for your great support. Sincerely, Ben Gordon

QUOTE(YoungstownIndians @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) That was the past. See we took a nice 3 year rebuild very few teams have done ever. We are ready to contend. Okay and I will come back here day after day to talk Baseball. Come September I will still be here. I am THAT CONFIDENT. I am confident the Indians have their own message board.

This Indians s*** at the very most belongs in the Sports bar . Not in the pale hose forum.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Can we please ban this clown? It was fun for awhile, but its getting real old. He doesn't add anything to any arguement he is in. Its always "The Indians are better than the Sox so deal with it." Never once have I seen any baseball analysis or any general sports knowledge come out of him. If you think the Indians are going to be better than the Sox, let's see it statisicly, or, let's hear an actual arguement based off of some analysis or baseball knowhow. espn predictions are a good backing for his argument :rolly

QUOTE(YoungstownIndians @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) You know what pisses me off is you guys can never realize or accept the fact about things. You guys say the Indians MAY finish fourth. s***..... You are just saying that because you are pissed in every single preseason poll the Indians are ahead of the Sox. Sorry if you don't like it that way but it is true. Say all the s*** you want you guys may be competing for the 3rd spot with Detroit. I try to be fair but you guys flip out so I will to. Your Sox offense SUCKS. You guys have, watch out, Jose Contreas and Garcia. Oh I am trembling...... April 4, 2005 tells the whole story. INDIANS WIN! Want biased indian predictions? Indians.com wtf do you expect here? Do you want us to agree with the rankings?

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) And lets not write the Indians off before '05 starts. They finished..... what..... 3 games back of the Sox last year? And, I hate to say it, but the Indians should only get better. They were not 3 games back when Frank and Maggs were in the lineup. losing your 3 and 4 hitters for the year will probably cost any team 10 wins at least.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) I'm glad that we picked up AJ Pierzynski for the blazing speed he brings to the table. And, I'm sure as hell glad that Iguchi doesn't have any power whatsoever. Oh yeah -- Uribe and Crede, no power there either. Rowand? Yeah, he's a grinder and a slasher, he's a hit it and run-it-out type of guy. But hey, with the exception of Dye, Konerko, Pierzynski, Everett, Iguchi, Crede, Uribe, Everett, and Rowand -- our whole lineup up is full of hit-it and run-it-out type of guys. Great assessment, Killa! BTW -- Where've ya been? I guess you didn't believe half of us in saying to give the offseason a chance to get started before you started b****ing. Haven't seen much of you, lately, though. Funny, isn't it... No one looks at our rotation from the begining of last year to this year. Buerhle = Buerhle Loiaza Garland Scheoney ? people over look the fact that we have garcia for a full season now.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) Thanks to the new V-Cast by Verizon, i too desided to miniturize myself. Damn I knew I shouldn't have let Jose juice my shoes.

QUOTE(YoungstownIndians @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 10:50 AM) Here's the preseason 2005 ESPN power rankings. Note where the White Sox are. 1. New York Yankees: They won 101 games last year and added Randy Johnson and depth to their bullpen. Jason Giambi's status is still a huge question. 2. Boston Red Sox: Alex Rodriguez has become the focal point of Boston's competitive rage; it's like he's the side of beef in the movie "Rocky," and all the Red Sox are taking their shots. 3. St. Louis Cardinals: They lost Edgar Renteria, but they gained a potential staff ace in Mark Mulder. The nagging injuries to Albert Pujols are a concern. 4. Florida Marlins: They could be very, very good -- but they'll only go as far as Josh Beckett, A.J. Burnett and Guillermo Mota lead them. 5. Anaheim Angels: Added two terrific major-league veterans in Steve Finley and Orlando Cabrera, and their only major question is if the relievers will respond in new roles. 6. Atlanta Braves: The biggest story of the spring that's not related to steroids is whether the Braves can sign Tim Hudson to a long-term deal. 7. Chicago Cubs: They're going to need some leaders on their team this year, and who better than Wood, Maddux, Prior and Zambrano? 8. Minnesota Twins: They locked up Johan Santana to a four-year deal; when small-market teams are able to retain their pitching, that's a measure of parity (but not much). 9. San Francisco Giants: Filled their biggest hole with the addition of closer Armando Benitez. But they might want to see if they can play an extra outfielder between Bonds and Alou. 10. New York Mets: And with the start of spring training, the big search for middle relief begins; the rotation will be undermined without it. 11. San Diego Padres: They didn't make any big offseason acquisitions, but they did improve their bench and added Dave Roberts to play center field. 12. Cleveland Indians: They're going to rack up a lot of runs, and if they can hold leads, they should be able to win a lot of games this season. 13. Texas Rangers: Considering the state of their starting rotation last year, they overachieved. Would not be a big surprise if they took a small step back this year. 14. Seattle Mariners: They've added some power in the middle of their batting order in Adrian Beltre and Richie Sexson, and now they desperately need to get some healthy arms on their staff. 15. Philadelphia Phillies: There was a notion that the Phillies' struggles were caused by the fiery personality of former manager Larry Bowa. Now that he's gone, we'll find out if that was true. 16. Los Angeles Dodgers: They've made a lot of changes, and are banking a lot on J.D. Drew to lead the team. How he'll respond is among the major questions heading into the upcoming season. 17. Houston Astros: Lots of offense went out the door with the departure of Carlos Beltran and Jeff Kent. Either a young player must emerge to pick up the offensive slack, or a trade will need to be made. 18. Oakland Athletics: The offense is stronger than it has been since the 2001 season, and they've got a lot of good arms on their staff. The big question: How quickly will the pitchers mature? 19. Detroit Tigers: Jeremy Bonderman pitched like an ace down the stretch last year, and if the Tigers are to have a real chance in the AL Central, he'll have to continue that again this season. 20. Baltimore Orioles: Slammin' Sammy would make more of an impact if he brought along a friend -- say, a No. 1 or No. 2-type starting pitcher? The O's rotation, without a doubt, is really lacking. 21. Chicago White Sox: They decided to shuffle the deck, trading Carlos Lee and not re-signing Magglio Ordonez, and added some pitching (Orlando Hernandez, Dustin Hermanson) along with catcher A.J. Pierzynski. 22. Arizona Diamondbacks: The new ownership worked hard in the offseason to change the face of the team -- but they've got a long way to go, after winning just 51 games all of last season. 23. Milwaukee Brewers: Slowly, they're on the rise to respectability. They should be an interesting team this year, with the expected addition of some high-level, young position prospects. 24. Pittsburgh Pirates: They're piecing something together, and appear to be moving in the right direction -- but can they hold it together for an extended period of time? We'll see about that. 25. Cincinnati Reds: In what's become the usual, Ken Griffey, Jr. is the biggest question heading into spring training-- can he stay healthy, finally? If so, they'll have some depth in their outfield. 26. Toronto Blue Jays: Somebody should raise the idea of rotating the Jays and Devil Rays out of the AL East, because unless the Yankees and Red Sox are run incompetently, it's hard for Toronto to compete. 27. Colorado Rockies: Maybe young left-hander Jeff Francis will turn into the pitching savior the Rockies need so very much. If not, the 2005 season could be worse than it's expected to be. 28. Tampa Bay Devil Rays: Easiest prediction of the year: The fiery and always colorful Lou Piniella is definitely going to blow a gasket as he watches this team lose time and time and time again. 29. Washington Nationals: Baseball's Bingo Long All-Stars have finally found a permanent home. It'll be a while longer before you can realistically expect them to win on a consistent basis. 30. Kansas City Royals: The window of opportunity that seemed to be open last spring has closed, and now they've got to work toward another. sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=olney_buster&id=1994416 As a Tribe Fan I love this enjoy your "high point" of the season.

Indians? wtf? watch out for coco crisp! Jake Westbrook is a force! Maybe millwoods numbers will improve now that he gets to face weak AL hitting *sarcasm* sarcasm* . Espn also had texas at # 30 in last years preseason rankings. If the sox were on the east coast with the same roster we would get more analysis on our team and would be ranked in the top 10.

I guess your not 29, but it's too late to return. Happy Bday

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) Thanks for that post, just ordered a replacement. took me 3 minutes to order. Its free. It's pennies to Mr Gates, but I think this is still a lot of $$$ they might have to put into this nation wide.
