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.

Bad way to go out, but it was a career that will get him into the HOF.

QUOTE (IceCreamPants @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 10:04 AM) The old lady in Kingpin when she puts her nasty leg and thigh up on the couch talking about oral. Absolutely disgusting. What is it about good sex that makes me have to crap?

I am the last guy you would call a blind loyalist, but I trust any move this team makes when it comes to picking up/trading away pitchers.

In the last few days, I've watched Children Of Men and MacArthur. I though Children Of Men was great, gave it a full five stars on Netflix. MacArthur was also really good, but I only gave it four stars. It kept me into the movie, but it seemed to lack something. Plus, they didn't really go into how General MacArthur was sort of a glory hound and egomaniac.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 08:24 AM) by stating my opinion? By insinuating that anyone who gets worried after a bad stretch doesn't know anything about the game.

Danks loves the big games.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 09:04 AM) IMO, if you need cheering up after losing a few games, I am proud of you that you just got into baseball this year. This is a sport of failure and the team is going to lose at least 60 games every year, its just part of a baseball season. We are still in this for the long run. Why do you always make your posts semi-personal like that?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 09:57 AM) 34 successful sac bunts out of 43 tries. That's actually a better percentage than I would have guessed.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 01:00 AM) Having Edwin Jackson makes this quite tolerable. He's acting exactly like a 5th starter should now; keeps ya in the game most nights, but gets shelled sometimes. I think 1st half Freddy was the anomaly, and I suppose this is ok. Look at what Baker did tonight. That guy was their ACE coming into the season. If we can just split with these Twinkies the rest of the year, we should be able to out-horse them. I hate when the word "ace" is used when you're actually talking about a team's "number 1" pitcher. That's off topic, I know...just felt like saying it.
