brickbreaker for the blackberry keeps me mighty busy.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) My MO has always been the same. If I say something based on the Red Sox, I'm not going to sit and be mocked when some idiot is wrong in my opinion. I'll just have to deal with the fact that there are some people who don't know two s***s about baseball and laugh at it. It looks like your MO is just to insult others who dont share your opinion on the Red Sox. Usually apologies or explanations of bad behavior do not include calling people idiots, and claiming that you know so much more about baseball than others. A kid your age still has much to learn about the game and about how the MLB is run, maybe that should be something you need to think about as well.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 01:14 PM) I'm an alliance character, so you should create one of them. Does the hunter character interest you? you can tame wild animals and make them your pet. gotta get to level 10, however. Not hard to do. I have dinner tonight til about 10pm EST, so anytime after that. ill be whatever, I dont care.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 01:09 PM) hellscream, you mean? cool. what kind? even if you don't play this character, there's a lot I can teach you and then you can apply that to your other characters. I'm really good at leveling human and dwarf characters, I know their level 1-40 quests really well. yeah thats what I meant. I created a Tauren just to try something different. I will create whatever you think works best.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 10:28 AM) Tonight I can play. I got onto the hellcat server a little while ago so I could create a player on there.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) That's my problem here. Gordon won't be anything more than a 6th man specialist shooter in his career Somehow that 6th man gives you 20 points a game though.

Coop said that his mechanics and rhythm were out of whack.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) I totally agree about the expansion. It's really for people 60+. I think Wednesday night I'm going to be on, so anyone looking to play should PM with character names so I can look out for you. Again, I'm on the hellscream server. PA, have any time to go over it in the next few days? My name is the same as my SN

Ill be there.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 01:07 AM) Cora sucks? Oh, of course.. I forgot Alex Cintron and Pablo Ozuna were gods gifts to the world. That's obsurd. He was incredible off the bench last season, as he always has been with the Sox as he's known his role and played it to near perfection. No true fourth outfielder!? haha. Middle relief pitching!? Starting pitching!? hahaha.. When did Soxtalk become a haven for complete idiots. Go make a post about how Iverson is on his way to Golden St, you'll fit right in that way. So why are you on a white sox board again? QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 14, 2006 -> 02:32 AM) I hate Red Sox oriented threads. It's always the same thing. Yet its continually allowed to happen.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 02:10 PM) ^^^ I enjoy the posts too... Anything is better than the "nuh-uh", "uh-huh" type arguements that seem to be going on perpetually... not my fault, im "on weed"

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) We have 3 CB's that could start for almost every team in the NFL, and Hester is still there as a project. I wouldnt mind us taking a safety though because of MB. I would agree with you that our CB's are pretty decent. Hester shouldnt see the field in that position IMO. And I would really like another big Corner with shut down abilities. Either way, a safety should be something that we look at. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 01:27 PM) I am a huge Benson fan and I love seeing him carry the ball. he seems to be catching on in the NFL schemes, and I would like to see more touches for him. Jones is hurt AGAIN and its just about time to deal him or give him up. Benson should start next year with Peterson the 3rd down back. I would be perfectly happy with that.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) The only other reason I could think of is if he REALLY hates Toronto/Canada, or something like that. Or the fact that he will most likely never see a World Series playing for that team in that division.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 01:22 PM) I'll be laughed at but the Red Sox made the three best signings of the offseason, without question in my opinion. Based on money, team needs, etc. eh. JD Drew was a pretty awful contract. They played this situation out perfectly though IMO, Boras would have convinced Jim Hendry to give him 20 million a season.

The Bears need to address some DB's in the upcoming draft because of Mike Brown. We have some good late round talent who are filling in, but it would be nice to have a serious shut down corner or an extremely talented safety.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 09:02 AM) I thought WE backed out after getting the med records on Buckholz. Thats the report.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 11:23 AM) I would be gleeful if we could sign Giles on the cheap and then deal Tada... Marcus would be very marketable for the Sox. A career batting average of .285, including 2 seasons of .300+ and a penchant for hitting doubles (45+ in two seasons)! Plus, he is still just 28. We could get a great return on Gooch if we wanted to deal him. I would love to pick up giles, he had one down year and all of a sudden hes washed up. He hasnt even hit his prime yet.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) Whoa, that sucks! Now what do you do? You put a fraud alert on the credit report sites. You also fill out a form online saying your social has been stolen. Its the same as if you lost your wallet. I get those fake paypal emails all the time that says, enter password and credit card info, I always enter something funny, and I never thought anyone actually got scammed. Guess not....

QUOTE(astralpanda @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) So you're saying anybody over 25 in the minor leagues is useless? This isn't fantasy baseball, these are human beings and as much as we'd like to think that we can predict the future, we can't. I really couldn't give two s***s about Redding and Farnsworth in the grand scheme of things but the fact is they're solid, they helped CHarlotte to the AAA playoffs(and lost miserably), and both have pitched in the majors before. I'm done with this discussion. No, not all players over 25 are useless, but those two fall into that category.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) I've read from a lot of places that the 1080P on screens 40 and smaller that the difference between 1080P and 1080I is almost non existent and that you might as well save the money and go with the 1080I set. Personally I was looking between Plasma, LCD, & DLP and fell in love with DLP. I realize its not as trendy as the Plasma and LCD but I was able to purchase a 50 inch 1080P TV with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio (something I don't think many, if any LCD's are capable of doing and something that is standard on almost all Plasma TV's) for 1500 (and i had to pay zero tax and zero shipping fees). I have a Samsung and the thing is amazing, with two HDMI inputs as well as a couple component inputs (the thing has all the extra connections you could want) and is rated as being one of the best TV's out available at a fraction of the cost of most of them. Yeah, I guess I never thought of getting a TV smaller than 40. DLP is the s***, I actually have an LCD projection from hitachi that is about 3 years old, and the HD is amazing. Basically, if you go with a decent brand, get a good warranty, there isnt much wrong you can do.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 06:47 PM) Just speculating, but there may be some bad blood between Giles and the Cubs after Giles ended "Glass Joe"/Mark Prior's season a few years back. Giles is still a stud, I cant see how nobody would want him.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 06:33 PM) I can't predict future trade scenarios, but if Williams does trade Garland with the intention of acquiring pitching prospects, anything less than Hirsh/Buchholz will be a rather large oversight on our behalf. Again, because I know some people misinterpret everything unless it's hammered out syllable by syllable, if we're intent on trading Garland it should lend us no more than the equivalent of these players. That is, atleast two of an organizations top pitching prospects. I think with this deal being pulled by KW, he sees that Garland must net us a better return than those 3 guys. I like that he is selling high.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 05:32 PM) 1080P seems way overpriced to me... I've watched several things on 720P and that seems serviceable to me. I'd rather not pay through the roof. trust me, 1080p is really worth it. There is a reason why you pay a little more.

I really believe that KW is waiting for Toronto to get desperate.

f***, I would love to trade for Roberts and Hayden Penn. I would also like Giles. If im the cubs, im signing Giles right now. He had a somewhat down season last year, but is still younger and capable of producing at a high level.
