QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:01 AM) I was trying to think what the baseball equivalent of that odd goal would have been to win the World Series? Same here. A ball hit just above a yellow line on an outfield wall that everyone assumes was just a double, and 15 seconds later the umps convene and signal a home run for a walk-off?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) "It was probably the worst celebration in the history of hockey" Patrick Sharp. I'm very happy for it, but that finish was sort of deflating. "Oh, it's over...yay!"

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 05:54 PM) Who knows, maybe someone will manage to make a video game movie that actually works. I like how the story seems to be about Scorpion for the most part. Reptile was downright creepy Silent Hill creeped me the hell out. I think that worked.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) Ahh, you talked about your wife's vajay-jay to thousands of strange men. Yes, you win alright. Oh wow, you actually used that term.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 04:01 PM) but at least that's YOUR wife and not some random person on a message board You know, because it's YOUR dog, get it?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:03 PM) I do not consume and animal products and I try to my best ability to avoid purchasing/using any products that contain animal products. There are some things that aren't feasible such as tires on a car or bike, some computer parts, etc. And I first went vegetarian because of concerns about the environment. As I read more about the conditions about factory farmed animals I knew I wasn't doing enough by simply avoiding meat so I figured the least I could do is switch to a vegan lifestyle. It's not as difficult as it might sound to make the switch. Just look at Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez or Twins pitcher Pat Neshek. There are hot dog, sausage, burger alternatives that do not contain animal products. When I go to the Sox games I'll either tail gate beforehand or eat before I go to the game and just buy beers. The Cell offers a veggie burger but I'm not sure if it's vegan. It may have egg in it. Those have animal products?

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) One strikeout short of the mlb record in a debut. Just behind Bob Feller...pretty good company.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:09 PM) we certainly shall see. With all of the players that have been in the game and those that are currently around, I like my odds.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) That was just the Sox obviously. I mean baseball as a whole. There's some amazing young talent in the game right now. I know what you mean, but I'd still say 2005 because the White Sox are baseball to me.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:02 PM) this is history. straight up history. we're watching the debut of the best pitcher baseball's ever seen. i don't care if people think i'm just buying into overinflated hype, and yes this is the pirates, but barring injury, MLB watch the f*** out. Yes, I think you might be overreacting after just one game in MLB.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 05:44 PM) I'm so f***ing stoked for this. This has been the most exciting time for me as a baseball fan since 1994. Well, besides 2005.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 04:08 PM) Not trying to bicker over who the better pitcher is, because it is definitely Danks right now. But the way Floyd used to effortlessly pitch 7-8 innings when he was on, was something Danks will never be able to do. Danks has to work too hard to get to the 8th inning. What happened to that good Floyd, the one who would take no hitters into the 6th like it was his job? That's why we can't sell low on the kid; he's better than this and his contract isn't hurting us at all. QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) People are going to keep saying this until both of them retire. And then that happens, Floyd will still have the better numbers and been the much better pitcher throughout their careers. See, I'm right now. That's what makes what you said wrong.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 05:10 PM) I'm pretty happy that instead of having another 2 full seasons coming up where we're going to have holes that need to be filled in our lineup, we only have one more year of Pierre. It's gone pretty much unnoticed, but Pierre has been played pretty good ball for the last 30 games or so. Because nobody's f***ing watching.

Wow, usually I know about this series weeks in advance. I didn't even know it was coming until I saw this thread.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) Mitchell has an outstanding sense of humor, and Beckham seems like a kid that recognizes how talented he is and takes it in stride. Sale seems like a kid who could throw a no-hitter, and shrug it off as not a big deal. He's going to have to make it a perfect game to impress anyone with the way things have been going recently in baseball.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) Yes, because results for a half season mean more than their entire careers. Peavy is a #1 and has gone through 2 major mechanical tweaks this season alone. He will be our Ace for the next several years. If you dont believe Danks is a #2 then you havent been watching him. He is one of the better LHP in the AL. Buehrle is having a bad season, how many good ones has he had? Just because the results arent there for a few months, doesnt mean thats the type of players they are. I completely agree with you about Danks and Buehrle, but I'm not sold on Peavy. I'm sure he won't be this bad if he continues to pitch for the Sox, but I don't think there's any guarantee that he'll be our #1 or Ace (especially because I think Ace is very subjective, and there are only about 10-15 in the entire league). In the AL, I don't believe he's as good as he was in the NL. The key will be just how much of a difference that switch makes.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 11:42 AM) Disagree on selling low on Floyd. I still think Floyd might end up being a better pitcher than Danks. He doesn't seem like much of an injury risk with his easy delivery. With that curveball and his ability to go deep into games, he's one of our few quality contracts. AJ has to go now. People are going to keep saying that until both of them are retired. And when that happens, Danks will still have the better numbers and been the much better pitcher throughout their careers.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 11:10 PM) If you are saying that you strangle the salami (I don't think that one was used yet in this thread) more when sexually active than you do when not sexually active, I don't think anything is wrong with that. It seems like the idea that people grab the goods more when alone than they do when seeing somebody is kind of a myth IMO. That's definitely the case with me.

This is getting creepy. EDIT: Damn Sqwert, you beat me to being a smart ass.

It's weird to think, but all of the players from 2005 may be gone before the end of the season (and almost certainly before the start of next season).

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 09:27 AM) I actually re-watched Animal House over the weekend and man that movie is not anywhere near as funny as when I saw it as a kid. I watched Caddyshack about a year ago. I didn't laugh once.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 05:13 PM) English spy so you need a fake accent. Hm, so I have to acquire an English accent, and then use said accent to attempt a poor American accent? I can do that.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 12:31 PM) I dunno but im feelin that you are from the UK I get the same feeling, which is weird because I've been asked a bunch of times if I'm of English descent. Not sure exactly what an English person looks like, but I imagine it's my monocle that gives off that impression.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) Settle down, Dane Reynolds! Nice, and my gimmick?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 11:51 AM) All the regulars in this thread, you will know be given names so Soxtalk can copyright them and make money off you. T R U, you are now Alvin Hendricks. MHizzle, you are now Gary Becker. The Critic, you are now Lloyd Savage. KyYle, you are now Thomas Garrity. And I am now King Awesome. That is all. What the hell? I'm not regular enough?!
