Jesus, I get the feeling you all have been to the Lost island.

Heres a question for the people who live in the chicago area: If you want to watch sox or overall baseball highlights for the night, do you turn on Comcast Sportsnite or ESPN BBTN? Oh, and did Danks' ridiculous backhand grab make it on Web Gems last night?

QUOTE(mreye @ May 23, 2007 -> 10:27 AM) She's 17. It's for them and only them to decide. If more parents ran their kids' lives like a (Lord's name in vain) concentration camp, we'd all be a lot better off. Children who live in that type of a household will always rebel at one point or another, its up to the kids psyche to how bad of a rebellion. There is a happy medium between leave alone parenting and nazi parenting, neither one is a good choice. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2007 -> 10:36 AM) Threadjack!!! Congrats PS, you have to share the recipe, because we have one in the oven as well! Man you have strong swimmers.

I watch it for web gems, pure and simple

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ May 23, 2007 -> 10:14 AM) The similarities between him and Buehrle are ridiculous. With the exception of last years second half, I have always felt very confident with Mark on the bump. It was going to be a solid performance and give the team a good chance to win the game. I feel that same way about Danks. Just give him the ball every 5 days and he's going to be consistent and give the team a chance to win. He won't have the sexy numbers every game, but you'll get that consistent start and that to me is as important as anything. Yup. He also made the most ridonkulous backhanded grab ive seen in a long time.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2007 -> 09:16 AM) I get the feeling the Sisco for Prinz swap will happen today. Maybe the Sisco for Matt Murton swap?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 23, 2007 -> 08:25 AM) Personally I think Oden's a bit overrated just because he's one of the better bigs to come along lately, because it's so hard to find a capable big man. Hell Andrew Bogut went #1, and Deron Williams and Chris Paul look like much better selection right now. Oden will be very good on the boards and defensively, but is he going to score enough to be a "superstar"? Dude, dont even use Bogut's name in the same sentence as Oden. His jump hook will be a shot that few if any NBA players can stop. Hes a cant miss in every sense of the word. I really hope the Bulls draft Hibbert or Horford, both would contribute right away. UGH, or not. f*** you Hibbert http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2879914

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 22, 2007 -> 05:29 PM) I can think of a lot of other ways that the Sox could spend $15 mil that would get me drooling more than that. I meant a rental right now. No way in hell I would sign him to that contract.

BTW, up close, Danks' curve is filthy. Its hard to see how much it tumbles on tv.

HIs elbow will explode again, no thanks.

Danks is downright sexy. 1ER last night.

So I had seats right behind the A's dugout last night, right next to the people that are on camera when lefties are up. A buddy and me were just flat out giving it to the A's players in the dugout, especially Buck, Chavez and Blanton. After a couple of innings of razzing, Chavez turns around and says "cant you guys just be quiet", ive never seen a ballplayer whine like that. Everything was in good fun though, and hilarious. Even better when we put a spanking on them.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ May 22, 2007 -> 03:23 PM) Too bad the Twins would never consider trading Torii to the divisional rival White Sox. ^^^^^^ Him in centerfield would like damn nice. 1. Erstad 2. Gooch 3. Thome 4. Dye 5. Konerko 6. Hunter 7. AJP 8. Crede 9 Uribe Im drooling.

Ill be there. Dont let me down Danksy

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ May 22, 2007 -> 02:55 PM) After all the avatar compliments...you rip me like this. Rock...that's so not nice. Sorry buddy, even have a OOTP player named after ya. But still McNabb rules, and if Griese has PMS over it, I hope he has a good flight out of town. Of course this is all pure speculation and it will never happen.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ May 21, 2007 -> 01:27 AM) Couldn't have said that better myself. Shaq had the higher peak. But as far as consistency/longevity goes, I think Duncan wins out. I think Shaq is the most dominant, and has the better personality, but its hard to compete with the consistency of Duncan. How blah is a Spurs/Pistons title game going to be? ugh

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 22, 2007 -> 01:24 PM) They aren't even in the same league as McNabb. Well technically they're all in the same conference but not in the same league. Exactly. If McNabb was a healthy QB for the Bears last year, do they end up winning the Super Bowl? Maybe not, but it wouldnt have been so clear cut.

I think the FBI guys play a bigger role than everyone on here suggests. The connection between those two known terrorists and Tony's crew are large and apparent, even though some of it died with Chris. I thought it was strange how sullen the Agents looked after Tony correctly identified the two men. Im feeling an indictment coming on at the end of the show.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ May 22, 2007 -> 01:17 PM) No...No...NO! Griese is already a little peeved. Could you imagine if they brought in McNabb? Even if they threw in either Griese or Rex. And if THAT were the case, then we need more back that just McNabb. No f'in way. Not too mention the added pressure of winning in your home town. WHo gives a s*** about the feelings of our back up QB. Is McNabb better than both Qb's on our team? Yes.

Question: What would be more valuable on the back page of the Sun Times: Jay Marriotti Palehose 7

Whatever you do, dont lie to her parents about anything. Also dont try to sneak around behind their back if you really want to date the girl for awhile, you have to earn their trust first. Of course there is a flipside to this: She might like you more because her parents are suspicious of you. Some girls who are brought up in a household like that want to sneak around and have their parents not like thier boyfriend, they get off on that. So which ever direction you want to take it, its your call, but there are clearly two different paths to take here.

Oh and sleeper tip: Use only in the right crowd: Complement the bride on having such a great looking wedding party. Makes it a lay up.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ May 22, 2007 -> 12:03 AM) Thats awesome. Are you gonna buy a jersey? If so what player? I'm thinking of getting a Danks jersey myself. solid choice 86. Funny note, in the whitesox tshirt shop on the main concourse, they have every player's t-shirt jersey EXCEPT big daddy Danks.

If Pablo gets his head out of his ass, or crede starts at 3B we win 8-3, no biggie.
