QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 10, 2006 -> 08:57 AM) GO GET EM CHARLIE!!! MLB's due for another quality knuckleballer to appear, and the Sox are due for a pitcher to come up and blow someone away in his first start. Kinda like that Ervin Santana kid did to us last year. And oh yeah, he has the #3 offense in MLB to back him up. who are # 1 & 2???

Cinco de Mayonnaise I call it. What a useless holiday. I'm so sick of drunk holidays (I hate St. Patrick's Day too.)

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ May 5, 2006 -> 11:47 AM) He had a reaction to a spider bite last year that took him out of a few games.... oh yeah. I remember now.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ May 5, 2006 -> 08:13 AM) Someone needs to clean the clubhouse of all spiders. huh???

While not agreeing much with the protestors' issues, I have to say that I LOVED THEIR BOYCOTT yesterday. The freeways were clear, no traffic on the surface streets, no one hassling you at Home Depot, supposedly clear emergency rooms - this is how life in LA SHOULD be everyday.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) You can download NES and other emulators online and download all the games you want. Play them on your computer.....can't remember the site but just search on google....the one I always used to get was NESTICLE and you could play all the contra to your hearts delight.... I have a modded xbox with a bunch of emulators, but I'm not sure how to use them. I'll try Nesticle.....

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:20 AM) Without the Sunday lineups, we would have not had the gas we did in the post-season. Therefore, no championship. OR....... we would have won over 100 games and a championship. either way.........

AJ waved when they booed him before the game on Friday. It's possible that he playfully flipped them off, like when you scratch your head using your middle finger, but really I was there - Angels fans made a bigger deal out of this than it really was. We all wore our AJ shirts on Friday night to exacerbate the problem. I wore my replica ring to taunt them.

you are the man (or woman). Thanks!!!!!

about the PaleHose Six.......... who are Tweedle-Mouth & South supposed to be?

is there a way I can get classic Nintendo games like Super Mario Bros & Metroid converted for the XBox? I am new to this whole video game thing.......

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) From the Blog: Ozuna, LF; Iguchi, 2B; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Dye, RF; Crede, 3B; Cintron, SS; Widger, C; Anderson, CF. Javier Vazquez pitching. Two bench players in the starting lineup seems okay, but THREE????????? Why does Ozzie do that? Grrrr..........

QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 11, 2006 -> 11:16 AM) But judging your own relatives is kind of sick. I mean it's like saying if they were not related to you than you would date them. So that kind of relates to this "But for rule" in my criminal law class that I am studying. Which basically is that if it weren't for this than this would have not happen. So it is like saying if it weren't for them being my sisters than I cannot date them. I have to disagree about judging your relatives. Judging them good-looking or nor good-looking does not necessarily imply that someone would date them or not. That thought does not even enter most people's heads. Example: I can say my mom is a pretty lady, but that doesn't mean I think of my mother as anything other than my mother. I would be more wary of someone who tells you that their family is not good-looking. That's weird, not the other way around.

QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 11, 2006 -> 10:49 AM) I am a college student that is true. College students are also young too! Hey how come you want to see me and I can't see you! Huh! You like to all gang up on me and try to become the victor but that's not going to happen! good for you, WSFFL. Who the hell cares what she looks like? She's a die-hard Sox fan - that's all I care about. Also, to add to the judging your sister discussion - I am secure enough to think my sisters are good-looking (they're related to me, so they must be), but I would never evaluate them to the degree I do women I am interested in (ie judging on a 1-10 scale.) So rangercal, you can always take the easy out and just say yes, even if you don't mean it, just 'cause it will make her feel good.

anyone have the April wallpaper? I can't find it.....

I will be at Wrestlemania - so I will have to watch on tape. But I will be there Tues & Wed.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 12:53 PM) yeah that song was pretty bad. Is Bob Uecker still doing radio for the brewers? yes, during the season. Sutton is the normal TV guy.

My god. Someone please tell me they heard that CHEESY Brewers song on mlb radio. unbelievable.

I'm not sold on Oakland's lineup either. But with that pitching, it might not matter. I'm picking Texas in the west.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 12:25 PM) Burly/Sabathia Garcia/Lee Contreras/Byrd I'm about 80% sure of that. I read that's what they were planning last week. Cleveland that is. I know that's our matchups. why wouldn't Lee be their opening day starter considering he almost won 20 last year?

BOOO! I want it to stay in Tucson. My girlfriend has family there & I get free lodgings.

QUOTE(Credepopsup @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 04:57 AM) Yes, there is free agency. If a player is aged 21 or over, he can leave his team at the end of his contract with no compensation to be paid. We call this leaving on a "Bosman" which is the name of the player who got the rule put in place, by taking his team to the European court of arbitration. This rule has put a strain on football clubs resources, as many rely on transfer fees to keep their finances stable - Players worth upwards of £20m can now leave for nothing, so they are sold for less than they are worth before their contracts run out. I read it - good post. Question: What are transfer fees? Is this a commission on top of the money made when one team sells a player to another? Why don't more teams trade players instead of selling them? btw, I support Arsenal.

My head hurts.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 10:10 AM) The Sox were ranked 14th because of the Pods trade only. Most of the critics said it was a terrible move. I also wouldn't call picking up your starting catcher, 2B, RF, 5th Starter, and Closer low risk moves. Those moves totalled around $20 million alone. AJ was a risk because he was a cancer, Dye, Hermie, and El Duque were all injury risks, and Gooch was a complete unknown. Those seem more like bold moves to me. It was not like they were shoring up their bench or middle relief. This year's rating is hilarious too. I don't know if the Sox had the best moves this offseason but they were definitely better than NYY, BOS, and OAK. It was a bad trade. The Sox would've been even better last year had they not been cheap and traded Carlos Lee. Podsednik was an addition no doubt, but he really didn't add that much.
