QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 26, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) Craig Drummond to Ole Miss. If you want to know the real reason why the SEC is the best conference in America, a guy like Drummond is it. There is no way in hell he'd EVER get into a Big 10 school (which is the real reason he isn't going to Illinois), so he just verbals to Ole Miss instead and I can almost guarantee you he'll qualify and get on the field in short order down there. That's not me being bitter or angry either, it's just the truth, skip every class is a perfect nickname for that league. You are correct sir. He "decommitted" from Illinois because of his grades and immediately was told no by several other schools in the conference. The SEC consistently brings in a ton of kids that cant make grades and is ok with the large amount of non-eligible kids year after year, its not really taboo down there.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jan 26, 2009 -> 01:41 PM) Interesting. I thought owners turned to Craig's list so no one would be looking over their shoulder. Well, its cheap and easy to search which helps, especially in chicago where there are so many properties and people looking for them.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Jan 26, 2009 -> 07:33 AM) What do you mean, he scored the 11th goal for the Westerns. I posted that while watching the breakaway competition.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jan 25, 2009 -> 11:38 PM) Why not? I always wondered if those services are useful. I thought they were free. Alot of rental unit owners turn to these services when they have a place that hasnt been rented out in quite some time, aka pieces of s***. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part they are hard to rent units.

Kaner even got denied in the All Star Game. When will this slump end?

yup. craigs is your best bet. Dont use an apt finding service.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 02:10 PM) I will completely agree that he was unfairly singled out. There are so many guys who don't get enough blame for what they did, even guys like McGwire and Clemens who you hear about a lot aren't given enough heat in my opinion. But there is a reason his stats make your eyes pop out of your head, because they were significantly enhanced. Well he was the best steroid user. How is that unfairly singled out?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jan 24, 2009 -> 12:02 AM) I'm just saying I've seen both teams and I think ISU is better when they are both playing at their top level. ISU is more athletic and shoots the 3 better. UIUC only has the size advantage, this is just my biased opinion however. I hope you mean better than Indiana, because ISU would be about avg in the big ten. And im speaking from player by player talent.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) Noooo! Is Owens going to hit leadoff too? You better hope they move to Vienna, beause Nathans doesnt know what a polish is.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 02:00 PM) Butler having yet another great season and nobody is noticing. As good as programs like Gonzaga, Southern Illinois, and Xavier have been the last decade, Butler has been just as good. I am surprised the Bulldogs aren't getting any attention this year, they are just as good as they were the last two years and they got plenty of attention during those seasons. They are from me, I saw their only loss.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 03:33 PM) These dogs are really good. I'm gonna miss those. Hopefully they put in Vienna Beef. I'm not Jewish but to the exact letter of the law, mass produced stuff like Bests Kosher isnt actually kosher. There has to be a rabbi involved in the preparation, hence Skokie's Jewel keeping one on staff at their kosher deli. False, there are plants in chicago that mass produce alot of kosher materials that are supervised by licensed rabbis to make sure the process is kosher. And to answer the other question, the polish was Best's as well.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 02:04 PM) Nathan's would be awesome. Gross. Keep that NYC s*** out of here. Vienna Beef: Corner of Fullerton, Damen and Elston. Chicago Dog, chicago baseball. They can also provide extremely great corned beef.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 11:48 AM) Let me ask you this...do you really think the Cubs traded Pie for Olson cause they thought that was a fair trade? Yes, a good trade for them since they were going to have to put him on Waivers after ST since he had no spot on the major league team and their manager came out and said they were giving up on him. A box of balls would have been a good trade for them.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 11:41 AM) Because nearly every reputable baseball insider has stated that the deal wouldn't be completed until the ownership situation was resolved. Uh, months ago. Alot have said that Peavy will be the opening day starter for the Pads.

f*** that!!! If they start serving eckrich (sp?) dogs like at wrigley we are doomed. Hebrew National better be power dialing the White Sox. Vienna Beef should be as well.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 03:27 PM) No, it's a matter of coincidence that you are trying to put together inaccurately. To EVERY other country in the world, playing for your country far outweighs playing for a domestic league. That's all I'm saying. I utterly disagree with people who think the WBC is stupid. Do they also think the World Cup of Soccer is stupid? What about the FIBA Basketball World Championships? In my opinion, it's because baseball is supposed to be true to America...it's "America's Pastime" and now that other countries have equal or superior talent, they don't want to be shown up in international competition, i.e., losing to Mexico. The best players in the world play in the World Series and in the MLB games every day. They do NOT play in the WBC. For Soccer, the best players in the World HOPE to play in the tourney, the best players in the world pretty much are indifferent to playing in the WBC, some even think its detrimental to the actual baseball tournament which is the MLB season.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 09:42 PM) Christsake these guys want to restore pride back to this country and their baseball team...they were embarassed 2 years ago losing to Mexico...I dont mind any of them playing at all!! eh, what pride needs to be restored? The whole world knows the best baseball is played in the USA, thats never going to change. The WBC doesnt mean much really.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 11:31 AM) All it takes it one line of dialogue from Ben saying "I lied" I still think in the grand scheme of things he probably can't return after turning the wheel, but it is certainly possible he lied. I'm guessing because nobody really knows when the island is, that its pretty difficult to get back. The scene where he drops off Locke's body at the butcher shop and reveals its all part of his plan is what threw me off. Obviously he lied about not being able to return, and is somehow assuring more people for his crew by bringing back all of the Oceanic 6. Then again I, like the rest of you, have no f***ing idea what we are talking about.

Honestly, I-roid would be a good addition mostly because he hits from the other side, hits for contact and would at least stop a bit of the running game against us. He also knows some of the hitters in our division.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 10:58 AM) I'm of the mind that one of our goaltenders is worth more to us (Khabibulin) as a trade chip than as a time share. I agree. I actually think we are weak defensively right now without Keith which would be nice to bolster.

f*** you lost!!!! How did they come up with this s***, seriously?

They are getting good looks all around but cant bury it.

LOL at the continued MVC hype. The Big Ten is wide open this year and I love it, especially since I see the conference really starting on the upswing if some of the players actually stay in college for a few years. I cant wait for the tourney.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 11:08 AM) The female trainers at my gym look fantastic, you look at them and you know they're trainers. The men, on the other hand, look like average guys. NS72, you're right about the injury factor. Most people at gyms are pretty nice and will show you proper form if you ask. I'll even offer advice if I see someone doing something dangerous. Yeah, I dont know what it is about every gym Ive been to. I know the Xsport on ashland is pretty good for that, but the Bally's and now WAC gym that I've been too have all had bad ones.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 01:22 AM) It seems like the trainers at the gym I go to just make up exercises and routines. The new trend seems to be trying to combine two or three different lifts into one. I see people doing a dead lift and throwing in a calf press at the end of it. I see people doing curls, then turning the dumbell around when it's near their shoulder and turning it into a military press. WTF is that all about? I also find that every trainer at my gym is hilariously overweight. Why would I take your advice when its clear you have no idea what a diet and workout routine should be anyway.
