Why is Baj only good in the 9th?

Sweeney has a great swing. I still think within 3 years our OF will be Owens, Anderson, Sweeney

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) Tucker looks kinda nasty. K's Smith. 1 out. He was a top prospect at one point. Has a live arm. I think he has some control problems however.

For my money, lopez is our other lefty.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) I was hoping they brought Lopez out for another inning. Let's see what Bentz does now. meh, hes terrible IMO.

At least Garland looks to be dialed in early.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) Beats me... Just guessing. We are definately on the same page with that one.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 02:24 PM) Joined 30 minutes ago and the first post is a trolling flame.. Personal ties Rock.. ya think. NO WAY!!!!!

Wow, I wonder if you had personal ties to the defendants? Once again, I actually share your view. If I had sex with the girl this weekend after a long night at the bars. No matter if it was consensual, if she accused me of rape, I would be labeled a rapist no matter what. I think after seeing the tape of the whole incident, we have to believe the jury. They are the only people who saw the act, and they didnt think it was rape.

Werent all the kids innebriated? Isnt it possible that they all got messed up, decided to portake in this activity, and she just regretted it later? Isnt it possible? Kids these days are sexually active before the age of 16, I wouldnt put it out of the question.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) I think JO is a CF like Pods was. He can play it, but that doesn't mean he should. Owens started in CF because there was nobody else who could. We wont see Jerry starting anywhere until PODS is gone.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 01:15 PM) I'm not a huge fan of Good Will Hunting, although I do like it. But I can't even watch Titanic straight through. Agree with whoever said it was a weak year for nominees because I didn't think As Good as it Gets was really a great film either. There really arent many actresses I hate more than Hellen Hunt.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 01:19 PM) I bought the DVD and Jim watched it and said it was good.. but the begining was boring to me and I fell asleep. I suppose I could put on a pot of coffee and give it another chance... The beginning is somewhat slow, but the movie really is pretty decent. There are alot of movies that I thought were long and boring at first, but really just needed a little warm-up.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 01:10 PM) So loooking through some of the Best Picture movies, the Green Mile is one of the few that actually makes me sad. What year would Hotel Rwanda have been? I also thought that was one of the better movies I've ever seen. I thought million dollar baby was very sad as well.

LA Confidential should have won that year IMO. I do think that was a weak group of nominees however.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 01:05 PM) I thought it was wayyy overrated. One of those movies that kinda got on my nerves...Didn't that old lady get an undeserved nomination? Just about all of the actors and acting seemed ridiculous to me. The part where someone falls and hits a propeller was decent. Agreed. I thought some of the story line was over done. The only real quality part of the movie was when it started to sink.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 01:00 PM) You liked titanic? no, just wondered why you thought it was so bad. Im sure my reasoning is different. I liked the effects and some of the acting was ok. But I thought that any film trying to call itself titanic, should have focused more on the tragedy itself, and I hate DiCaprio.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 12:57 PM) Good Will Hunting is not a good movie. Robin Williams is pretty good, and I like the "Do you like apples?" line, but the acting, overall, is terrible and the dialogue is worse. Worse, still, is that two guys from Boston can't do a passable Boston accent. Agreed, not a big fan. I dont really like much that those two assclowns are in.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) 10 years = deliberate exaggeration for effect. I'm pretty sure that everyone else gets it except for you and maybe White Sox Josh or somebody. Seriously though, stay in school. And besides, 90 to 95% of those movies suck hard. Riiiiiiight. Do you find it hard to ever admit that you hadnt taken into account the facts? There are many great movies in the last 10 years, just as good if not better than the two you listed. Maybe you should try watching something other than TNT and TBS for a chance. And the stay in school comment? I wish I was still in school, the real world doesnt quite allow as many naps.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) I'm sure it is. Out of the Oscar winners I've seen in the last 15 years Titanic is easily the worst film of the group. why?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 12:05 PM) Browsing that list, there have been some relatively weak nominations for Best Picture from 2000 onward. Atleast one undeserving film every year. 2005 easily had the most depth since 1998; if you consider every movie within the category to have a legitimate chance of winning the Oscar. Of course the odds were heavily in favor of BBM and Crash, but if any one of the nominations took the award, it would have been understandable. just because there is one weak film nominated, doesnt discount the quality of the other films. 2004 had an extremely good group of films as well.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 11:50 AM) Link Do these morons know that putting the added stress on just the arm without the support of his legs is going to test his surgically repaired arm to its limits?

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) I couldn't believe how much better Gangs of NY was the second time I saw it, maybe a couple months ago. And I liked it the first time. The exact opposite of what happens with many nominated movies. Read the book. The movie takes place in about 15 pages in the book.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 10:38 AM) Brokeback Mountain? I'm not about to watch a suckfest. No pun intended. Puns are never intended! Why am I still watching Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump over and over and over and over again? Someone make a good movie FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. It's been like 10 years. I'm in the f***ing Twilight Zone over here. You'd have to strap me down and drug me up if you wanted me to watch any of these retarded award shows. My wife had that bulls*** on. I was on my way to the bathroom when I spotted Ludacris? Grown people are watching this nonsense? My own wife, damn.... heres the best picture nominees for roughly the last 10 years.
