Milkman delivers

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Apr 3, 2007 -> 08:42 AM) If it's not Ozzie and KW's fault, it's Anderson versus Erstad and Pods, and once again that becomes Ozzie's fault. If it's none of the above, it's Walkers fault. If it's not Walkers fault, it'll be Razor Shines fault. Blah blah blah... If you move Iguchi down in the order, and he cannot hit, it's Iguchi's fault, it's not Walker, it's not Ozzie, it's not KW. If you can hit #2, you should be able to hit #7, #8 and #9, too...these are major league ballplayers, not t-ballers. No excuses should be necessary. The CONSTANT whining on this board is getting really old. If it's not one thing it's another thing. You know what I just realized...this board (almost the ENTIRE thing) is represented by Randy Quaid in Major League 2. You're not happy unless your b****ing about how much this team sucks, and if the team happens to do well, you'll just say, "it won't matter...they're just gonna blow it in the playoffs anyway." The characters name in ML2 was Jonny. All of you b****ing in this thread = Jonny. You're right. And leadoff hitters should be able to hit clean-up. And like somebody else was arguing the other day, LF's should be able to pitch and C's should be able to play 1B. I mean, they're professionals! It shouldn't be the manager or coaches' responsibility to put players in a position where they're more likely to succeed.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 2, 2007 -> 09:44 PM) 20 teams, but no room for WGTT???? I had the same thought. That's what made me think there'd be a 3rd Royale. Then, I remembered Carlito and Flair, so I thought they'd win it all.

I'm just glad they've given the belts to an actual tag team, not some makeshift one they've thrown together. I still think they were trying to unify the tag belts.

Ugh, I bet there will be a 3rd Battle Royale tonight. If Cena and HBK don't retain, Carlito and Flair will win the belts off of them. OK, I was wrong with that one...but, I really don't think the Hardy's were supposed to win that. When Kendrick threw himself out with Chavo, it really looked like they weren't supposed to go out. And it looked like Murdoch was listening to someone on the mat telling him what to do afterwards.

I used to hate HHH, but not in the "good" way. Now I wouldn't mind if he had another run as champion. Him or Kennedy would be nice. There are way too many faces in wrestling today, if you think about it. s***, even Flair's a face.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 07:50 PM) Well I'm 1/1. KENNEDY! 2/2 Khali I stand corrected... Don't understand the logic in having Edge's first wrestlemania loss be in an 8-man match.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 05:32 PM) I thought of you today with the Perfect induction, Milkman. Was gonna drop you a line to see if you'd seen it but, alas, I saw you had here. Hooray! You better believe I was watching.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 04:56 PM) There are some I disagree with, but not to the point of arguing; however, what the hell dude? Just look at the numbers. Not even a healthy Pods is as good as Dellucci, and it's really not even close. Anyways, kind of a cool story, my boss back in Bismarck actually played youth baseball with Hafner. He wasn't nearly the monster that he is now, but he said he was still quite a bit better than everyone else. Kind of funny to think that the best hitter in the AL (IMO of course) is from a town of about 200 people. And a High School graduating class of like 6 (literally).

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 05:29 PM) I'm fine with him when he's at his real position, but his lack of a batting eye and any defensive skills whatsoever in the outfield give me nightmares. I also love his hustle and heart, don't get me wrong. I thought we were discussing him as an infielder. My bad. I dislike him as an outfielder, too, but it's picking your poison between him and Pods.

Has there been a definitive update on Hall or what?

If you don't like Ozuna, you suck...and I hate you.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) No, in fact, the higher the score, the more it says about your team. The Bears have a 64, but we know at least 20 came from one source. Kind of an aberration. The Cubs are 7. Doesn't that sum up their prospects? Surprisingly, the Blackhawks are 111. I assume that's got something to do with Canadians. Apparently the Cubs have absolutely no game...or they're smart enough to protect themselves. I still go with the former.

Edge won't lose because they wouldn't have his streak broken in a match like this. If the streak were to be broken, it would be in a one-on-one match to put the opponent way over. Streaks like this are a great story. I think they would only break such a streak to really help some storyline. Why would they throw him in this 8-man match and have his streak broken when they can easily throw in another wrestler (like Flair or Carlito) to take up the 8th spot? I said streak roughly 27 times in this post.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 04:07 PM) Yes, 1 = the best, 2 = second best, etc. The Sox in 2007 were #52 in STD. Sadly, we'll never reach number 1 in that category. I think the Bears pretty much locked it up for the next 5 years with that whole Paris Hilton thing. I assumed 0 would be the best possible score. But I guess maybe it's impossible to be a professional athlete and not have some kind of STD.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 03:33 PM) Woot, WrestleMania tonight. My picks: WWE title match John Cena © vs. HBK Shawn Michaels World Title match Batista © vs. The Undertaker Battle of the Billionaires- special referee Stone Cold Steve Austin Bobby Lashley (w/ Donald Trump) vs. Umaga (w/ Vince McMahon) Money in the Bank Ladder Match Mr. Kennedy vs. Edge vs. Randy Orton vs. King Booker vs. Finlay vs. Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk US Championship match Chris Benoit © vs. Montel Vontavious Porter Women's Title match- Lumberjill rules Who Cares ECW Originals vs. the ECW New Breed Kane vs. the Great Khali Definitely agree with the Women's title match, ha. Definitely disagree with the Trump/McMahon one. I don't see any way in hell that Lashley loses. And I might disagree with the MVP one, though I don't watch Smackdown enough to know.

I wonder how the Sox rated in the STD category. Is it like golf where the lower the score, the better? I would hope so.

Won't lie, I got a little misty-eyed watching the induction. It was awesome how the fans chanted "Mis-ter Per-fect" for a few minutes there.

Has Ozuna improved in LF at all since last year? I haven't been able to watch any ST games.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 31, 2007 -> 11:57 AM) I'm not sure how old you are, but there's always one or two songs in each film where I think: OMG, I remember that song and I haven't hread it in a long time. They're kinda like a random B side classics collection of his favorites. In this film, there is sometimes a direct connection between the lyrics and what is happening in the story. I'm 21. And I've noticed the connection between the songs and the plot of the movies.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 31, 2007 -> 11:21 AM) C.C., Sowers, Hafner, Sizemore, Dellucci, VMart, and possibly Barfield (I think he's going to thrive away from San Diego). I agree with you on all but Martinez and Barfield. We just couldn't have Victor as our catcher. He's absolutely awful. And I'd take Iguchi for this year, though Barfield may be better in time. Hafner for sure over Thome, though. I bet a lot of people wouldn't want to say that.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 31, 2007 -> 11:16 AM) You know milk I was gonna suggest you go and get tickets and see the ceremony. I think they're actually selling them at face value on EBAY unlike last year, when Bret Hart got inducted. Ha! Oh man, I'd go, but then I'd have to fly out and I'm a poor college kid. It's funny that I actually crossed your mind when you saw it. It seems everyone on the board knows about my unhealthy obsession. That can't be good.

I am way more excited for the induction tonight than you would believe. I'm gonna get hammered and watch every second in awe. It's gonna be great.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Mar 31, 2007 -> 10:12 AM) Good deal for both sides. Sox give him the three year committment and he gives the Sox a break of a million or two each year. Let's hope that's what actually happens b/c Tad is an invaluable player for us, can bat anywhere in the order, never complains (maybe cause he doesn't speak english,) gives us a solid hitter, you know what your gonna get #'s wise and fields his position. Please be true. JD s gonna be the hardest one since he has played out his contract as the biggest bargain in baseball, so noone can fault him if he wants to go get his last big payday. IF he does leave the Sox for more money, nobody should be pissed cause he came year in 2005 for less money than elsewhere and never made a stink about making $5 million per year when he clearly was worth mid teens last year. Absolutely agree about Dye. And of course, I'd love to re-sign Iguchi. Hell, he's better than a few pitchers that are actually on the team.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 31, 2007 -> 02:42 AM) It took a really long time to get going, so I didn't really care about the characters once it finally took off. Sandler has potential for serious, dramatic roles. As a music lover, I like that he makes a point of including his favorite music in all of his films......especially this one. I agree, rental. The soundtracks to all of his movies are always awesome. One of the best soundtracks, though, has to be the Devil's Rejects.

Wow, ask and you shall receive (maybe I hold some power around these parts) Thanks, man.
