Fields to start in 2009?
QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 11:07 AM) It will be much harder to replace th defense and defense is what wins games. Plus if Creded is healthy you have a 30 homer guy that is a clutch performer. I am in the group that believes things will still happen this off season that can change this story line I can't wait for Crede to be gone, just so I can stop reading your posts about him.

KW got it right
QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Oct 30, 2008 -> 06:11 PM) I am hopeing we sign Crede and Uribe both. Uribe can give us solid insurance at 2B and most certainly as the super sub. It is rather sad to see a player of Ken Griffey Jr's caliber being listed as a Type B free agent. It's all in what do you have left and done for me lately though. I don't see him abck with the Sox, but I think he did bring some class to the organization and helped us ger to the playoffs What the f*** else are you going to base it on?

2008 World Series - Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays
I have to admit, even though the series is possibly almost over, I've slowly been rooting more and more for the Phillies. I wouldn't be upset with either team winning, but there are plenty of guys (especially older guys) on the Phillies that I'd like to see win it all, while the Rays are mostly young and may have more chances in the future.

Bruce Levine on ESPN 1000
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 29, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) 7 RBI in 2008. 3 RBI in 2007. Toby Hall blows. I'm not using it against him anyway. Get someone else. His .902 OPS against lefties meant squat, and defensively I feel he leaves a lot to be desired. There are better catchers sitting at home. He more than doubled the runs he produced. Give him a few more years and he'll put up record numbers.

The end to this game is turning out to be extremely interesting.

QUOTE (Shadows @ Oct 29, 2008 -> 12:07 AM) Quarantine was pretty cool The worst part of it was that the previews gave away the ending, other than that I thought it was good I'm guessing the final scene was when she got pulled away by an unseen character?

Possible UFO footage in Texas
QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 07:14 PM) I'm no biologist, but why are we always looking for water in regards to alien life? Is water really the universal building block of life outside of Earth? I doubt we could possibly know that. And "aliens" always seem to have two arms/feet and are more or less a weird version of us. What are the chances that there is a universal life structure? As for the government holding information, NASA has been sued multiple occasions for withholding such information about the Kecksburg UFO sighting. I do find that interesting. They still won't give up anything. This led to a solid hour of Wikipedia for me.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 02:59 PM) The "old" part is fairly new. He has transitioned from playing a active badass to the guy you see in the Gran Torino previews, sitting on the porch complaining about everything. He can still kick alot of ass, but he would rather complain. He played that character to a T in Million Dollar Baby. I have become a big fan of the movies he directs too Are you on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences?

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 26, 2008 -> 04:06 PM) 'Burn After Reading' was good, silly fun. Brad Pitt is an under rated as an actor, he does comedy pretty well. Brad Pitt is incredible in supporting roles, yes. He's pretty bad in lead roles, though.

2008 World Series - Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays
QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 26, 2008 -> 01:49 AM) I really thought that last dribbler was going to go foul. This World Series has been very disappointing, as neither team is playing at a high level. Eh, it's a close series and each game has been close. As long as the White Sox or Cubs aren't in the World Series, I'll take this every time.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 10:14 PM) Heights is my greatest fear. I have nightmares where I am falling and wake up shaken. I will NEVER go up in the Sears Tower and I HATE flying. I'm not particularly scared of heights, although I'm sure I'd be terrified on a ledge or something. But, I can see what you mean. At least with some kind of animal, it's you vs. something else. I know a person with agoraphobia, and I just feel awful for her. It's not something you can really avoid.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
QUOTE (BobDylan @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) I don't think it was the worst, but the humor has gone south this season. Too much of it is childish and I don't see much dry humor any more. The episode "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis" is probably the only episode from this season on par with anything else previously. They've strayed away from those taboo subjects and the plot lines are nonsensical and not very interesting. They've played off of Charlie's stupidity far too much and they're making the characters more into archetypes of themselves rather than building on what they had. This season hasn't been terrible, but in my eyes, they set the bar high and they aren't getting there. I agree with this, although I would have tried to make it sound less douchebaggy if I were to have written it.

Country-themed mini-parties
QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 07:47 AM) It's good to feel wanted. . . The rumrunner is one of those drinks that 10 different places will make 10 different ways. Not as bad as some of the things that pass for mai tais, but close. The original rumrunner was created at the Tiki bar, Holiday Isles on Islamorada in the Florida Keys - a big treehouse kid of hangout that was probably the best bar in the upper Keys (Developers have targeted it for demolition and that may already have happended). It was a drink made specifically to use up excess inventory of banana liqour, blackberry brandy, and 151 rum and became an unintentional sensation and signature drink. It was always served frozen in the original form, but most other places have non-frozen versions as well. Here's the original recipe: ½ oz Bacardi Select Rum ½ oz Barcardi 151 Rum (I usually use Cruzan 151) 7/8 oz Hiram Walker Blackberry Brandy 7/8 oz Hiram Walker Banana Liqueur (I preferr Juacim's or however it is spelled. Stay away from DuKuyper as it is way too overpowering, or cut the amount back if you have to use it). 5/8 oz Grenadine 1 oz Lime Juice Freeze in blender and serve in 12 oz glass. If you're not doing frozen, this recipe is going to be too strong and unbalanced, so a couple of ounces of pineapple and orange juice will be needed to cut it back. A lot of recipes use the Roses wsweetened lime juice but I use fresh in the Tiki bar version. Play with it a little to balance the banana liquour. But DO NOT omit the blackberry brandy and banana liquour or else it isn't a rum runner. Don't forget to have some Red Stripe on hand for the beer drinkers. In no way am I directing this post towards you, Flasoxx, but I have a few in me and feel like saying this. Who else reads threads they're not really interested in until they see a post that seems too long to read, and then just completely throws the thread away? I do it all the time.

What movies have actually made you cry?
QUOTE (TheBlackSox8 @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 06:07 PM) Road to Perdition brought some tears. God I love that movie. Ah, mostly due to Paul Newman. That scene where Hanks shoots him is very good. The end of Tombstone is pretty close, too, with Doc laying in the bed.
