QUOTE(Brian @ May 25, 2007 -> 11:12 AM) NBADraft.net has the Bulls taking Noah...more like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-ah. Him and Big Ben could be the most offensively inept front court in basketball.

ill be there. Keep my streak alive!!!

I dont think its selfish, I plan on hving something tiny at a destination somewhere. I personally think Huge weddings are a bit selfish as some people want more gifts and some people just love being the center of attention for a day.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 25, 2007 -> 11:06 AM) How are you so sure of this? Besides the fact that she has been charged in the past as well?

Classic move working in a bar, especially if you leave your card there overnight. If you are wasted they will do this to you, of course it could be a simple charge for the open tab and a credit later, but most likely they just typed in the tip wrong or did it in haste. The only time we really overcharged people for stuff was when they left their card there overnight and I remember them being assholes.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2007 -> 10:50 AM) Aren't you a little old for 17 year old girls? Hey, its legal isnt it? IM like the MLB, I like to draft em straight out of high school.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxFan1 @ May 25, 2007 -> 09:58 AM) Yea goes to uic. Shes going to a party tonight and letting me and her hang out at her apartment. We are just planning on watching movies though. Nice, right by me. You mind if I take a shot at her?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2007 -> 10:27 AM) And none of it justifies what Dukes threatened, and has done to her. Nobody said it did. But trash flocks to trash, and I wont make her out to be a saint like many will. This is a tale as old as time, and can been seen in its entirety across the country.

Im sure she has done some messed up s*** to him as well. If there is this situation, and she has just now come forward, and she has also been arrested for violence, usually there are two sides.

QUOTE(bmags @ May 24, 2007 -> 10:20 AM) rick usuallly replies with a "thank you", but Phil Rogers has been so great in emails I've sent him. Big fan of phil. I agree. Its funny because I havent ever had a single reply from Mariotti, and I have written to him respectfully several times.

Will Russell get a chance to move up this year?

QUOTE(Damen @ May 24, 2007 -> 10:22 AM) I'm going by the Hal Higdon and CARA program. Short runs Tues/Wed/Thurs with Weds progressively becoming a longer run. Saturday is the long run day. Ah ok. Im following the runners world schedule. I found my back was getting sore after the runs so I started using wed as a huge core day.

Dont listen to them heads, I went to college at 135 pounds and quickly put on 30 lbs of muscle and topped out at 215 at one point. IM now a healthy 185. QUOTE(Damen @ May 24, 2007 -> 09:47 AM) Yeah so I'm training for the marathon which means I'm running 4 days a week and doing an hour of cardio on Sundays. Obviously I'm not going to be bulking up as well, but anyone know what type of routine I should be doing to add more overall tone? Im training for the half marathon. You are probably running too many days a week. I make my long run on sunday and rest mon, wed and sat. On those days I do lots of free weight and core training. Core training is a must to strengthen your back and abs.

Well if anyone would have told me that we would take 4 out of 6 of our first games against Oakland, I would have said you were crazy.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ May 24, 2007 -> 09:29 AM) It was a fantastic article calling out the hypocrisy in sports writing. Everyone is now guilty until proven innocent. That's usually what I think when I hear someone calling Ozzie out for his tirade or AJ b****ing about playing time or whatever...I would rather have a manager that backs his players and players that want to play every single day thinking they are giving their team a chance to win than wishy-washy players that are only playing for their next paycheck. Maybe they are uncouth. Maybe they say stupid things. Maybe they say things in the wrong way. But again, as I said in another thread, that's what I like about the White Sox...that, to me at least, sums up the South Side of Chicago. You may not like what's being said, but it's the truth. You may not like the style, but it's 100% every time. Thank you Rick Morrissey, thank you very much. Seriously, email him and tell him that. He is very responsive, which is a good quality in a journalist IMO.

Its not like this guy wasnt shutting down other teams. We were actually putting some decent swings on the ball as well. I think we rebound next time out.

This guy's fastball has some late sink on it.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 23, 2007 -> 08:10 PM) Actually I am soon, me and some work buddies are gonna catch a train after work in the coming weeks. And I will definitely ante up on that beer niiice. I was there last night, 1st row behind the A's dugout, awesome.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 23, 2007 -> 08:07 PM) Gooch going back on a ball scares me. You going to a game sometime soon? I believe you owe me a beer.

Ugh, if I have a daughter im going to forbid her from dating until she is 21

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 23, 2007 -> 02:05 PM) I wouldn't call him a stiff. He's not athletic, that you're correct on, however he's obviously got the size and he does have very good moves on the inside plus a very nice hook shot. Still, I like Hawes, I'd be very happy if the Bulls land him. Hibbert gave Oden, the best player in the draft, a really really tough time. The guy is going to be good.

The bats will wake up. remember, NOBODY has been hitting this guy.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ May 23, 2007 -> 06:57 PM) I hope that everyone on this board read Rick Morrisey's column today. It exposes all the absurdity that follows the "puritan commando" style of Jay Mariotti, and does so in a classy, yet critical way. It is the ultimate indictment of hyperbolic, holier-than-thou, emotional sportswriting. And it is beautiful. Wow, funny story, I actually emailed him this afternoon telling how much I liked his column and he replied in about 5 min telling me thanks for the review.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ May 23, 2007 -> 01:23 PM) I watch Comcast but they seem to be geared toward the cubs. I am not sure if that is the negative media thoughts I posess toward cub coverage or reality. I actually disagree with this. I feel like Comcast has made an active effort to favor the White Sox as far as coverage goes.

He had a very straight and uncontrolled 100 mph fastball. Since then he has put some cut on some and can now sink some of them as well. Couple that with the change, slider and his hammer and he can dominate.
