Milkman delivers

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 05:08 PM) Realistically I think they want Matt Thornton in the 8th Inning and Sale in the 9th and I don't see them deviating from that plan to get Sale's arm stretched out to start. And no way do I see Sale starting even if Peavy isn't ready until mid May. With the off days in April and probable rain outs we can probably get Peavy back May 1 while only marching a scrub from AAA out there 3 or 4 times max, which isn't going to bury us. And regarding Freddy, doesn't he suck in ST typically? I recall just recently Ozzie talking about how people need to understand his style in ST and how he doesn't really get going until the regular season. If he gets bombed in ST I find it hard to believe the Yanks will just trust he'll be the same guy as last year and take their chances, but then again, what is 2M to the yanks.... I think 4 starts is the maximum he'd miss in April without rain-outs. As I'm confident that we'll have at least one game rained out, I'd let Peavy sit until May and rely on a minor league for 3 games.

I'm confident that Pujols is on some form of performance enhancer. It's just a matter of time before it comes out.

In my attempts to avoid work today, I was looking up some older stats. In doing so, I realized that Don Sutton retired in 1988 but didn't get elected to the HOF until 1998. Why did it take that long?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 13, 2011 -> 11:13 PM) Saw The King's Speech last night. Gonna be some serious competition for Best Actor, but I think Firth deserves it. He was just brilliant. No there won't. Firth is a shoo-in.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 13, 2011 -> 06:22 PM) It's your money, not mine. I don't understand what you don't get. The guy has the package so that he can watch the games in Austin, but he's asking if anyone is in the Austin area that wants to meet up for a game or two.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 01:32 PM) I type so fast it usually doesn't matter. No, I mean when it adds things to your search. Instead of searching just "Jim Morrison," it might search "Jim Morrison quotes".

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) So what is Cowley's new job at Suntimes? Not sure, but I liked his article yesterday.

I voted for Danks, but if we're going to ask who is the best at their job, it would be Thornton.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) Listening to Bill Melton on ESPN1000. Still calling him Chris Sales. Mid-season form for that guy. Everyone says that. I don't know what's so hard to get.

Does Google bother anyone with how they predict what you're typing and automatically add something you're not actually looking for?

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 01:50 AM) You both look beautiful in your avatar.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 06:15 PM) Viciedo? You think I was bad after the Hudson trade? My wrath would be godlike if that abomination were to occur. Then I hope it doesn't happen solely for that reason.

This rumor is already making its way around, it seems. I walked into my house and the first thing my roommate says to me is that he heard the Sox traded for Michael Young. Unless it happened in the 15 minutes it took me to get home from work, I knew it had to be false, but checked online anyway. He said he was told that it was Young + cash for Teahen + Viciedo + a minor league pitcher.

Couldn't Undertaker basically just say no to the idea of losing to HHH?

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 04:25 PM) I watched one of the most heavy-handed documentaries in a long time. It's called GasLand and while it's an interesting and informative movie and topic...I don't care about how the filmmaker breaks down because some stream reminds him of home. It's about natural gas drilling and how it's affecting the environment and people around the drill sites. Also, how it's poorly regulated, if at all. But MAN...gimme the facts, not your personal opinion. I wanted to shoot Josh Fox, just to put him out of his misery. Is that the one where some guy shows how there is gas coming out of his kitchen sink and he lights it on fire? They had a guy on the Colbert Report once who talked about that topic and showed a clip from his documentary.

I'm glad that a lot of people seem to agree with me. I thought I would get jumped on for that.

I hate formulaic nicknames for every professional athlete. A-Rod, ManRam, CLee, etc.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) They also seem to love gay actors that play straight characters...NPH, Cynthia Nixon, TR Knight...at least those are the gay actors we know are gay. Will from Will and Grace wasn't flamboyant, but the Jack character was. The doc on Grey's Anatomy is gay..she isn't flamboyant...I think there was another doc that was gay and not flamboyant, but she's off the show. I don't know the more you dig, I don't see that as the case. Flamboyant is funny though...I don't think it's insulting, but maybe Rex speak better to it. The chick from Flashforward was a non flamboyant bad ass FBI agent. As was already mentioned, Cam is incredibly flamboyant and so was Jack. I'm pretty sure they both won awards. Every single character in Milk was extremely effeminate. I've seen videos of Harvey Milk, and he didn't seem quite as (I guess) expressive in his motions as Sean Penn played him. PSH in Capote was also very effeminate, but these last two were based on real people, so who knows.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 11:33 AM) I dunno. My eyes got all watery and I had to pretend that it was delicious.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 11:33 AM) I dunno, I love the legit TCQ bat flip. Iguchi's has some braggadocio, TCQ's flip had that plus it was so emphatic. He'd launch that bat. Agree to disagree, but you're wrong.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) I imagine it added to the flavor

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 11:25 AM) Their SS list had Jeter at 3. After I saw that a couple weeks ago I stopped caring about anything else they said in this series. That's the one that screams bias. I'm sure everyone else had the same reaction, but that name and rank just jumped off of the page.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 08:22 AM) No offense to PK14...but TCQ had one hell of a bat flip. In recent White Sox history, nobody had a better bat flip than Tadahito Iguchi.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 03:06 AM) No f***ing contest, my friend. Keep in mind Konerko was hit in the head by a pitch earlier in the game, I just assume he hit the 2nd while suffering from a severe concussion. (the 2nd was off Borowski) That homer comes up every year, and every year I remember the best avatar in Soxtalk history. It's of that homer/pose with a subtitle saying "Konerkowned".

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 11:21 AM) You think these lists are biased? Well, it's really bad. They're either biased or just not good at making lists.
