The Old Stuff Yes, But St. Anger is freaking joke. s***ty Production does NOT equal Heavy. Sorry Guys. Seriously, have you listened to the entire album? Or did you listen to a few songs and give up on it? I can see why you might feel that way if you had pre-conceived notions going into it and didn't give it a chance. I had to listen to it (it being the whole album, all 11 songs, nearly 75 minutes worth) a few times before I got over the "shock", as it was a very different sound. Metallica has changed styles quite a few times in their 20 years, but that's what all great bands do. If a band doesn't change and evolve, they will not survive very long, and will not be as successful as Metallica has been. When I first heard St. Anger, I had a grade of about a C in my head. Maybe a C-. But now, I'd give it a B. That's coming from a big Metallica fan, so granted it's a biased rating, but it really does get better every time you hear it. And if you were expecting something like Master of Puppets or The Black Album, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Oh, there's plenty of metal left in them. Rob has given the band a new burst of life, and they're back to doing what they do best -- kicking their fans' asses.

Sure, go for it -- I stole it too, so feel free.

I will be in that sea of humanity yelling my lungs out for the Tallica boys. They're probably the greatest live band ever, and tonight I'm gonna find out first-hand.

N-O. Not worth the risk bro. The odds of it working are about 100,000 to 1.

Clujer, that's one of the funniest damn things I've seen on someone's sig. I actually laughed out loud when I read it, and I don't normally laugh when I just read something. Haha, thanks. I saw it at an apartment complex on the community bulletin board this morning, and thought it was really funny. Glad you enjoyed it.

Sitting and reading a book isn't for everyone. I know I have a very hard time doing it unless it's something fascinating to me.

just wanted to say.........
Texsox, something to maybe add to your sig, what about Jerry going with Carl (who was hitting almost .350 over the past week) against Mulder despite his poor career numbers against him? Aside from MB, Carl was the player of the game yesterday, as he saved the game with his robbed HR. Give Jerry some props for having faith in his player!

a little update on olivo
I would presume that surgery would end his season, and I think some of you are vastly underestimating how much this could affect the Sox if we make it to the post-season. In the playoffs (as we saw in 2000 vs. Seattle), games are MUCH lower scoring, and "small ball" really is vital. Part of "small ball" is base stealing, and with Olivo out of there, that will re-open that option for our opponent(s). If we were to play Seattle again, a single/walk by Ichiro would stay as such with Olivo -- without him, that single can very easily turned into a double (or triple) by the speedy Suzuki. Miguel's lack of offense is well-documented (at least in '03), but our playoff chances are not going to hinge on Miguel Olivo's bat. Let's hope he doesn't need surgery.

You're welcome, 'Chelle. Just wanted to do something nice for you to "bury the hatchet", and show there are no hard feelings.

You'd be right except for one thing -- previous actions. Jeremy Shockey has a history of running his punkass mouth off, and more than once he's made degrading remarks about homosexuals. Kobe, on the other hand, had a SQUEAKY clean image prior to a few weeks ago. Shockey made his initial anti-gay comments on Howard, which is heard in dozens of cities and by about 20 million listeners every morning. Kobe, on the other hand again, was in a hotel room with 1 other person. Only they know what happened. And yes, I point out that he is innocent until proven guilty because that's one of the things our legal system is based upon. Nice try though.

Who edited Jordan's first post? Jordan, did you? Or did a mod come in and censor you?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH23.............
Do you drink everyday? Seems like you're always "having a few". Do you have a problem with alcohol that you need to address?

MLB feats
Weren't the '95 Mariners like 9 games behind the Angels with about 3 weeks to go and then beat the Angels in the 1-game playoff? I know it was a HUGE lead that California (now known as Anaheim) choked away.

Goddamnit, Manuel...
Why worry about something insignificant like facts? Everything JM does is either wrong or lucky.
