QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 09:25 AM) One source insists that, with the Kings trade, Bulls GM John Paxson felt his team had made enough moves. If thats true he wont have his job for very long.

They came back and won too many miracle games last year. Everything went right. When the Sox had a season like that, the next year everything went wrong.

Wow, bad loss for OSU. Turn them over and they can be beat. Another example of how bad a coach Matta is at times. He has a much more athletic team and needed to go to man to man and eliminate the open looks for 3. He stayed in the zone and they got beat. Turner showed how much development he still needs in college. If he stays another year, he prob avg's almost 20 ppg.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 07:57 PM) Illinois is extremely subpar, a good small conference team could easily beat them in the first round. A good small conference team could beat any team in the country in the first round, so whats your point? So officially that was the worst Ill could play, at least they showed it to the public.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 05:35 PM) AKA the place for me and fathom to complain about how bad the NL is compared to the AL seriously though....i liked this thread last year and thought i'd start a new one this year For some reason every year, the cubs worry about the leadoff spot more than any other team (maybe the have no other holes to fill in i guess). I'm not sure why they would even hesitate to put Theriot in there...he walks more than he strikes out, and will steal between 25-30 bases. While he doesn't hit for any power whatsoever, he will be on base alot for their big hitters Miles and Theriot will prob split duty, although I am not in the norm thinking Soriano is bad in the leadoff spot. His OBP may not be good, but his power is scary up there and its obviously where he performs the best. IN the middle of the order he is just a strike out machine. Also, the back end of their pen will implode this year, so will Harden's shoulder.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 11:36 AM) Wow, this guy made a generalization of Bobby Jenks life after spending less than a day with him. Can you say character assassination? WTF, this guy is chewing some serious sour grapes I didnt think he did at all. I really enjoyed the write up and I didnt think Bobby came off as bad as players like Turnbow did.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) I'm pretty sure you can order them "naked" or without the breading. My favorite all-time wings are from Tres Hombres in Carbondale. Right, but I think the hooters wings are better breaded. f*** it, I like all wings anyway, even the bake em yourself ones from Jewel

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 10:42 AM) i heard Quentin and thome are, dont know who else I posted it in the St thread. Most of them are there.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 07:37 AM) anyone else here thing Hooters wings are over rated? I like em, but they are not buffalo wings to me. I dont think breading is part of a true wing, but they are pretty tasty nonetheless.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 12:01 AM) I thought about jumping for joy, but I was merely satisfied, not joyous. And Montana has everything to do with it. Seems like OSU is putting all their eggs in one basket though. Is that smart? Dont know, they told Montana that he was their guy if he committed early. Folks are expecting it within weeks per his dad and also Nick. Looks like OSU decided that it was him and him only.

To be honest. Aramis Ramirez came out with a quote yesterday that I cannot agree more with. He basically said not everyone was "part of the culture". Not every player cheated, and the ones who did shamed the game.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 17, 2009 -> 06:58 PM) I have a really hard time judging ARod. Yes he admitted it but (and I hope I have my facts straight) many of the tests back then were taken to establish weather MLB actually had a steroid problem. There wasn't a list of banned substances or penalties for taking any of this stuff in baseball at the time ARod is admitting to taking steroids . So basically he wasn't doing anything forbidden. If I'm wrong someone give me dates of when MLB instituted a policy against steroids and when they started making lists of what substances were banned . I do believe he was guilty of trying to keep pace with his peers and did little wrong according to the rules established at that time. Yes, but then he came out and completely lied about what he took, why he took it and the frequency of when he took it. He's a filthy liar regardless of what the tests were about.

is Ptak around to talk about how ridiculous this could be?

I didnt think the article painted him in a bad light at all. I think that was who Bobby was at the time. I thought the article was actually a GREAT read and loved it when i read it.

Im a birdsnest guy myself though buffalo Joe's in evanston is tough to beat.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 17, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) Havlat with some magic moves that result in a Bolland goal giving the Hawks a 4-3 lead in the 3rd period against the Lightning. The Hawks had trailed 3-1. Stamkos with 1st career hat trick for TB. Kane finally scored the Hawks 3rd goal. Im glad they won that game because that was a game they dominated.

So, is she single?

I must admit, I eat buffalo wings at least once a week, usually twice. I cannot get enough of them. Hot, mild, BBQ, hot BBQ, it doesnt matter. I will be attending this event this weekend, and I thought I would put this info on here for you other addicts who want to help a good cause. http://www.wingfest.net/index.html

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 17, 2009 -> 04:13 PM) Got anything to back that up? Because that would be news to me. Not to say it isn't true, just that I haven't seen anything about that. Check out the trib today.

Seriously, when does the season start again??? I'm getting ready by watching youtube vid's of Pryor

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Feb 16, 2009 -> 01:59 PM) the latest polls have Duke #9 on both AP and ESPN/USA Today Illini jump to #18 on AP http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/rankings It must kill voters to put MSU that high, they are determined to keep Big Ten teams as low as possible or off the rankings entirely. No matter the RPI or SOS of the conference, they are too damn slow!!

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Feb 17, 2009 -> 01:15 PM) Seriously, the show is all over the place right now. HRG getting kicked out of his house saying he is going to try and get better and then getting kidnapped by the hero posse. Sylar rescuing the little pain in the butt kid. Lots of other stuff. What's your take Rock? No idea. We know Peter and Hiro get their powers back somehow, not sure how that happens, and what is with Ando's power? There has to be something more to it. I hope they are setting something up, cause right now they are treading water.

f***ing Heroes, give me some damn direction!!!!!

Still playing stupid Rock Band. Making the transition from medium to hard is killing me
