Milkman delivers

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 11:12 PM) I really doubt Rowand was on PEDs. Although he did look kinda ripped. Especially for a guy of his size. Why do you doubt it? He was probably the one guy I was sure used them on the Sox.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) I certainly don't miss Rowand and I don't even really hate the Cubs that much but there's something about seeing ARow in a Cubs uni that would irk me a bit. My stance on the Cubs has changed so dramatically in the last few years. I no longer hate them or fear their success. It's just become pathetic and I can't even take them seriously anymore. I still don't want to ever see them win it all (and it will be a long time from now if it even does happen), but I just pity them.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 10:50 AM) Black Swan is neurotic, but beautiful at the same time. Portman does an amazing performance as the ballerina trying to hang on to her ultimate dream while psychologically spiraling out of control. There are actually many similarities between Black Swan and Aronofsky's last film, The Wrestler, which was my favorite of 2008. I like the story in the Wrestler better, but Black Swan is aesthetically more impressive (a lot of black/white, with interesting use of mirrors) and the tense nature of the film allows the score to build more effect. **** I want to see this, but I'm definitely not going to see it in theaters.

I can't believe people have this many preferences for where they piss.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 01:57 AM) Is it cloudy in the Midwest? Clear skies on the East Coast. It was snowing pretty well for a while, and I can't see a thing right now.

Too cloudy. It would've been cool.

QUOTE (IChaseBlackWood @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 01:02 PM) I love you!! hahahahaha

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 05:07 PM) why is that? It said it wasn't available, and I tried it a couple of times.

I'm not using the little kid urinal, sorry. If I have to piss right next to you, I will, and I'll have no problem doing it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 05:39 PM) Paul Even though the video doesn't work for me anymore, I'm so glad those two are making another movie. I've been waiting a while for it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 03:11 PM) No. I wouldn't mind if we got him though. Although if Ozzie plans to use him against right handers...I don't want him anywhere near the team. Just sign him and Freddy (hopefully for a discount), and call it an offseason.

Did Byrdak sign yet?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 01:26 PM) Milk, I never meant to diminish your experience. I'm simply trying to argue that there are other angles present here as well. My apologies for not communicating that more clearly. Sorry, I went overboard

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 12:26 PM) Oh come on Milk, we need to stop the public sniping. But what else do you expect when you say 'I'll take my personal experience over any argument you could possibly make.' Don't you think that flies in the face of logic and reason a bit? And whether you like me or not, or whenever it is that you remembered that, it was pretty clear in your reply to my post, which began with the innocent phrase "I don't necessarily agree," that you followed with 'Well I lived there for 6 years, but whatever you say," that you had every intention of the tone of this debate being exactly what it has been. Why do you think what you say is logic and reason? You've watched TV and read articles. I have lived it. If I were to say that everyone who lives in Las Vegas is a whore-mongering, gambling-addicted coke head, then I would expect you would have more knowledge of the situation than anyone else on this site. Just because I watched CSI or Casino a few times and read an article in the newspaper about Las Vegas, doesn't mean I know the place.

Haha, I'd be satisfied with the current list. Kyyle, you gonna take a break from the baby for one night or what?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 11:34 AM) Confirmed attendees at this point: Bigsqwert Milkman Delivers (this list better f***ing grow) Um, isn't lost the whole reason you thought of this? QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) But is milkman coming? QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) Ask his girlfriend. Nicely played by both of you.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 05:05 PM) You do that. And I'll take the same sports discussion I have had with all kinds of their fans, what I have read in their newspapers and on their message boards, the numerous games I watch on television via ESPN and the Extra Innings package and NESN, the articles on national and local websites, the interviews of former players and coaches, logic, reason, past history, pop culture, and we'll just agree to disagree. Ah yes, attacking my intelligence because my personal experiences are different than yours. I had forgotten why I disliked you, but thanks for the reminder.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 11:09 AM) You coming milkman? I think I said yes like three times already. Yes, I am coming

I hate all of the anti-smoking campaigns. I don't need these commercials trying to depress me when I'm just trying to enjoy watching TV. Nobody is going to stop smoking because of your s***ty commercials.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) We will not have a drink in your honor. We'll pour one out for him, seeing as his life is officially over. QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 06:40 PM) I am seriously tempted to drunkily buy $600 return tickets for this nite right now.... (if someone will gimme free accomodation in Chicago for the w/e that is...) That's hardcore.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) Over the top Red Sox fans remind me a hell of a lot of the Ohio State football fanbase. Completely irrational. I don't know much about Ohio State football, but Red Sox fans are also really, really racist.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 04:41 PM) I have. And I've done the same with New York. And Philly. And Chicago. And LA. Red Sox fans are what White Sox fans would be if there was no Cubs. We would have the entire City of Chicago supporting us and we would be in an all-out war against NY for annual supremacy. We would hate NY and the Yankees, and we would be obsessed with our own team because of the resulting rivalry. Red Sox fans are smart, and they are certainly passionate. But they are not like NY and they are not like Philly. They support guys like Kevin Millar and Billy Mueller and "Mikey Lowe" because they are working-class guys who bust their asses and care about the game. Certainly if Bobby goes there and s***s the field and doesn't give a crap about his weight, then yes, he will catch some heat over it. But he would catch heat over that in any major city in the US. But if he pitches well and contributes to the Red Sox success, even if he has some tough outings, they aren't going to turn on him and all bring "FATASS" signs or something. Boston is a working-class, blue-collar city. Bobby is a working-class, blue-collar kind of guy. IMHO, he'll fit in just fine. Agree to disagree, I guess. I'll just take my years of first-hand experience being surrounded by their fans, going to their games, listening to their sports talk in person and on the radio over whatever argument you could possibly make.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) Hey, great reply! I guess I'll just take your word on all things Boston because you happened to live there. I mean, it's not like there is tv or the internet or anything... Since you're the expert Milk, maybe you could argue your case? Obviously if he goes there and completely bombs, he'll face some adversity, but he's not coming in as some savior or anything. They've embraced all kinds of guys that are down on their luck or are just mediocre players in the past, simply because they seem to like them personally or they have made their best effort on the field. Go listen to a sports radio show in Boston. Go read a website dedicated to their teams. Sure, they have fans who are just as level-headed as any in baseball, but they have many more over-the-top fans than most places (I assume, but certainly more than Chicago). And they are a lot meaner and far less forgiving.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) I don't necessarily agree. Sawks fans, while rabid fans, are not necessarily brutal in the personal sense that Phillies and NY fans can be. I think the fans will identify with him and he'll do pretty well there. I lived there for six years, but whatever you say.

I don't see this going well for Jenks. The media will tear him apart if he's anything but very good. The fans and writers will rip him relentlessly for his weight and work ethic. If you're one of those people who thought we treated him unfairly in Chicago, get ready for something special.
