Milkman delivers

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 08:44 AM) For some reason, I think Quentin is going to have huge, comeback year. Peavy will come back, but as dominant a pitcher he once was. Morel will thrive as the starting third baseman. Lastings Milledge will be the same, immature person he's always been and be released in Spring Training. Chris Sale will be the closer. Dunn will hit 46 HR, just shy of Belle's team record. Seriously, what the f***? Why does everyone think he's this piece of s*** scumbag?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 08:09 AM) Or do the local thing and eat at Ricobene's, then walk to the game (if you can still walk after that). Grab some Phil's pizza (right down 35th from the park), but get drunk beforehand to really enjoy it to the fullest.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 07:16 PM) I would buy the cheapest ticket and let that determine which airport. However, I personally prefer Midway over O'Hare. If you can catch a flight on SW Airlines, that will probably end up being your cheapest option and land you in Midway anyway. Midway is definitely more convenient for me. I live about 10 minutes away from there, and it's definitely way closer to the park. It just usually seems that you'll find a cheaper flight with O'Hare because of the much higher volume there.

QUOTE (NIUSox @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) We used to have a skunk that took up residence in a drain in our driveway. We got rid of it by using some of our own urine. That's right we peed in a cup and put it by the entrances and the skunk moved away.

QUOTE (juddling @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 06:34 PM) Maybe it's just me but the Twins are the AL Central winners and that makes them the team to beat. That said...it would be very nice to see the whole team grab that attitude and hold on. I'd like to play Minnesota and not be sick to my stomach with nerves the whole weekend. I haven't been sick to my stomach playing the Twins in a long time. I just expect them to lose (as does the team), and it just happens.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 05:53 PM) Sox fans aren't the meatheads that Bears fans can be. We can accept the truth. There's a difference in accepting the truth and just downright idolizing the competition.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) pedicures are recommended for those with diabetes. Well, there's an obvious exception.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 03:36 PM) I hope you know who is with Chuck Tanner in that pic. Haha, yes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) link I think the line I bolded is the most important here. Morneau's brain is f*cked up and he might just be permanently damaged. Anyone thinking he'll be 100% anytime soon is certainly looking on the bright side of things. Even if he doesn't come back 100% physically, I don't think he's going to be there psychologically for a long time, if ever again.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) People have been talking 10/300 for Pujols since ARoid signed his last deal. Y'all really are surprised at Pujols pushing for something on that order? QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 04:23 PM) When he has spent the past 2 years saying it was not about the money, yes I am kind of surprised. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) If St. Louis hadn't offered something that even the people who wanted to call Pujols greedy were thinking was insulting, then we'd potentially have the chance to test that. You're sort of changing the argument. You say that we shouldn't be surprised that Pujols is asking for A-Rod money, but then you say that we can't be sure what he's asking for.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) If you hold such stone age feelings as pedicures are super feminine and no man should get them, then yeah, either that or wake up... one of the two. I'm sure you're not going to admit it's feminine, but it is. There really isn't any arguing it.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) Which ones don't you know ? Specifically the one that YASNY just pointed out. There was another one (maybe two) earlier in the thread, but I don't feel like going back

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 12:27 PM) Then the Cardinals should have traded him a year ago and made it clear exactly what his public demands were. Albert Pujols has every right to demand things both ways. It hurts the Cardinals a lot more than him if he walks. QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 12:44 PM) From Feb. '09: "It's not about the money all the time," the first baseman said Sunday in Jupiter, Fla. "It's about being in a place to win and being in a position to win. "If the Cardinals are willing to do that and put a team (on the field) every year like they have, I'm going to try to work everything out to stay in this town. But if they're not bringing championship-caliber play every year, then it's time for me to go somewhere else that I can win." It doesn't sound like he's trying to work anything out to stay. I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to do whatever he wants, but it sure seems like he has changed his position some time in the past year. Yes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 01:16 PM) A manicure sure is feminine, but getting your feet massaged certainly is not. It's not like they are applying f***ing nail polish. You need to grow up. Yeah, that's the problem.

Just clip your toenails and wash your damn feet. No need to do something as blatantly feminine as getting a manicure or pedicure.

You old guys gotta put the names of the players I don't know who any of them are.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 20, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) Pretty much unless Buerhle falls off of a cliff, he will be the opening day starter as long as he is here. This, and it should be obvious to everyone.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 20, 2011 -> 06:46 PM) The calfs were really long but that was genetics. He was one of the type of people who had long legs and a really short torso. He was all arms and legs. As far as PEDS go,, it didn't look like it to me but at that time in MLB nothing would surprise me. It's not about the length of his legs. Google him and take a look at his calves. They are absurdly large.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 11:59 AM) But they absolutely had to know what his contract demands were (Hell, they could have sat down and tried to extend him at the same time as trying to sign Holliday). But Pujols has to know that he can't have it both ways. If he told them to get a big bat in order to keep him, and understanding their payroll, he'd know that it would be damn near impossible to set that team up financially. If indeed he told the Cardinals that they need a big bat like Holliday's in order for him to be interested in staying, he's a jagoff to then go out and ask for $300 million.

I was under the impression that he had already retired, so this isn't a shock to me.

Will the Rock be on tonight?

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 20, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) So, um, eh, hmmmm, any guys on here ever get a pedicure? After years of basketball abuse, I think I could use one. Not gonna lie, kind of embarassed cuz I stereotype it as something women do. That's because it is. I have never once heard of a man (before reading Steve's post above this) getting a pedicure.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) Drink every time Hawk says "Stretch!" A lot of people would die.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) Ok. Alright.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) No one knows if they are right or wrong for many years and we can look back at Sale's career. But for the meantime, I think it's an awful plan. It's not that you think it's bad, that's your opinion. It's that you keep talking about it like it's sure to derail his career and that everyone else is a moron for not believing that.
