QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 04:20 PM) So Ozzie at worst is a top 10 manager. Out of the 30 people who are currently acting as a manager in Major League Baseball, sure you can argue that. That doesn't mean there are people who are currently bench coaches, minor league managers, former players not currently doing anything, out-of-work managers, or guys walking down the street who may also be better.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) Could be the way you are reeling it in, or how deep you let it drop before you reel. I have even had people cast for me. The vast majority of the fish I catch are on other people's reels while they're off taking a whiz or something. I'm just a very unlucky fisherman.

To anyone who works in Tech support, you are a better person than me. I consider myself to be an extremely patient person (and I believe everyone I know would agree), but I had to just hang up on my mom while talking her through a simple computer procedure. I feel like I might as well have been talking an Alzheimer's patient through brain surgery.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 16, 2010 -> 11:34 AM) See: the Ronge, anyone in the front office I'm getting the same feeling I did when jphat finally started turning to the dark side...

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) Lets get this straight, some of us saying that Jenks has been bad and needs to improve or saying Kotsay is garbage isn't being negative, it's pointing out the blatantly obvious. STOP RIPPING ON JENKS!

I know the exact feeling. I think the biggest reason football is so much more popular than any other sport is the short attention span of Americans, and more importantly, the American sports fan.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 10:16 AM) Have to know what to cast and where to cast it. I actually love playing guide when I go on canoeing trips now, I don't even do the fishing - I just put someone in the front of the boat who wants to fish, and I show them what to put on the line, take them to a good spot, and show them where and how to cast it. You have to know how to "read" lakes and rivers to find the best spots for what you are looking to catch. No, I mean I'll be fishing off of the same dock as someone else. We'll be using the same bait/lure/weights and cast our lines about five feet apart. The other person will catch fish all day, and I'll maybe get lucky with one.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 01:08 PM) 1) Because of that dome that they use to play in 2) Because Ozzie respects them too much and the team respects them too much to retaliate (see Torii Hunter/Byrnes or Quentin getting hit on purpose the other day) 3) Because national baseball experts always pick Minnesota to win the division Man, that pissed me off. No retaliation whatsoever.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) God we are starting to sound like Bears fans. There's always something clearly better out there. No manager will ever be good enough. They should just run the team based on fan voting before every game, I think we'd be set then. Funny that you should mention the Bears. Similar to that team, the White Sox and Ozzie will always be defended for a title they won years ago. Ditka is still considered great by idiots all over the city. I wonder how long Ozzie will get the free pass due to 2005?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 16, 2010 -> 01:03 PM) This is cool by Neyer... Johnny Dickshot? That is a great porn name.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 02:00 PM) Last night was as close as I've come to muting the TV during the game. Hawk is just unbearable, and it's even worse in big games. There's a huge difference between rooting for the team and being an outright, ignorant homer. Worse yet, there are plenty of fans that buy into his argument that one pitch or one call lost the game for the Sox. As the majority here realize, that wasn't the storyline last night. Since this has been the topic of conversation on the Score the past 30 minutes, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. I can't stand Hawk and the way he harps on a single "mistake" the entire game/series/season. In fact, there are many things that I can't stand about Hawk, but the bold part is the absolute worst part about him. He breeds and perpetuates ignorance on a large scale. I cannot stand that.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 11:41 AM) a, c Same here. I wouldn't mind it if they got rid of him either way, though. And I feel like he's going to be here next year either way.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) I'm telling you we need a good ole fashioned bench clearing brawl with these f***ers. EDIT: HA!!! Juan Nieves agrees with me. He wants a brawl too! On the Score this morning he said we have no fear and he wants Thornton to go out and smoke Mauer once and see what happens. I would LOVE to see this.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) I said "so far" because he's only pitched four times. First outing was a walk and a hit and got pulled. Since then, 3.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K. The first outing was the only one I've seen. Glad to hear that he's done much better since then.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 16, 2010 -> 03:02 PM) I'm a pretty over the top guy I still remember that arm wrestling tournament you won to regain custody of your son.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 16, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) A team that put up a 25-5 run, and was sustained good for like 2 months, and you don't think they have it in them to win more than 3 straight again? How does that make sense? The only personnel changes since the big run started are Teahen (who is hitting again) for Viciedo, Jackson (who has been very good) for Hudson, and Sale (who looks darn good so far) for Threets. Do you think those moves somehow killed the Sox? If not, I fail to see your logic. Has Sale been that good? I have been out of state and (mercifully) haven't seen a game since Thursday. I'll say this much. We have the right guy on the mound tonight.

I've only been fishing a handful of times in my life, but I really like it. The only problem is that I'm just a terrible fisherman. I guess it has more to do with luck than any particular skill, as I do the exact same thing as the person/people I'm with, but I will never catch anything.

That was the first PPV I've seen in well over a year, and what a shocking ending. John Cena overcomes massive odds to win the main event of the night?! Don't see that too often.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 16, 2010 -> 09:01 AM) I, too, took in this unspectacular film over the weekend. My wife was a big fan of the book, so I and 120 of my closest female friends went to see it on Friday night. First, I can sit through some slow movies. This sucker takes the cake in terms of boredom. As one of the few who hasn't read the book, the main character (Liz) comes of fas someone who instead of confronting her issues runs away and bangs hot guys, then with her endless wealth flees overseas to forgive herself for dumping all over her husband. Now, the wife says that in the book, the husband was much more of a dick, and things were explained better. What I got out of this movie were a lot of really nice to look at locations, a pretentious b****, and a really solid acting job by Richard Jenkins. In terms of films I've sat through in entertainment value just to be a good sport, I'd rather watch "The Notebook" or "Dear John" than this one. It was just really slow and boring. Well, at least they had perfect casting.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 11:10 AM) How many times do we have to see another team push us around? We come off as a bunch of pansies. I couldn't agree more. And not that I want us to be the aggressors, but it always seems that other teams will plunk one of our guys if things start going badly for them. They don't seem to have any fear of doing so, yet I never see a Sox pitcher do the exact same thing.

Seeing Linebrink mentioned here made me think. Is his contract one of the worst ever given to a reliever?

I like the comment about the missing vowel on the Pete Rose energy bar.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 08:51 AM) lol, zing! My fiance read the book and loved it. Though, I suspect it's because she liked the idea of every day woman deciding "hey screw this real job thing" to travel the world, eating good food and finding spiritual peace (and some dudes in the process). Who wouldn't like that? Especially that last part.

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 09:27 AM) Part of the condition of surrendor was for the emporer to go on the radio and tell the nation that he was not a god and not infallibel. Haha, that's awesome.

QUOTE (IceCreamPants @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 06:16 AM) I cant think of any. I am numb to that stuff though. But thinking back on it I dont think there is any sexual or weird scenes in it that a 13 year old shouldnt be watching. Perhaps the part where Ferrell's mother-in-law is forced to describe the sexual acts between him and her daughter? That's about the only thing I can think of, and those were so vague that I doubt a little kid would really get them.
