QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 05:41 PM) Did I say that America should get it's head out of it's ass and watch more FIFA? No. You're kind of coming off as elitist.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) You sound so arrogant and ignorant it's unbelievable. Since when does America run the f***ing sports world? Give me a break. The clock has nothing to do with dramatics. Why? Because that's how it's always been. FIFA rules do not suck. There is a reason people laugh at American soccer, because they are trying to turn it into an American sport, something it isn't, and something it will never be. There is plenty of drama with a clock counting up. If you actually watched European soccer, the game gets frantic after the 80th minute especially when it's close. Sitting on the edge of your site for 15 minutes in soccer is far more dramatic than any 10 seconds in American basketball, football, or hockey. Stoppage time is stupid? It's there to make up for the foul time, injury time, and substitution time where there is a pause in play during the half. There is nothing more dramatic in stoppage time. A team down 2-1 and they have 3 minutes left to score. Nope, no drama at all. I don't mean to sound anti-American, but god damn, this is the s*** that pisses people off. Fire head coach Dave Sarachan said there is nothing going on and that they did pursue him, but nothing could get done. And nothing has been said or heard from Zidane's side yet. Well, you sort of do, too. In your opinion. If you don't like America, then you can geeeeeeeeeettttt out.

QUOTE(bad at best @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 02:56 PM) I knew picking up Erstad was a bad idea. It just gives Ozzie the opportunity to dick around with Anderson's playing time. Anderson better damn well earn that spot then. If that happens, we have nothing to worry about.

I'm feeling confident in this team (of course, that'll all change on opening day all the way up to the end of the season). I'm going to say this team tops the 2005 one. Overall record of 100-62 and an 11-0 run through the playoffs.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 04:30 PM) The Cubs hat ..............ecchhhhhhhhhhhh. reminds me of a highschool teams hat. Same with the Black Jays. Sorry, what?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 09:12 AM) So it doesn't step on any toes when Austin stunners Umaga to gain the win for Trump/Lashley. And then stunners Vince to get him in the barber chair. And then stunners the entire "creative" team for putting everyone through this. I think you absolutely nailed how it'll go down.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 01:01 PM) RIP Mike Awesome. It is sad that such a talent felt the need to extinguish itself. Just saw the news since my net has been out the past few days. Hooray Perfect going into the HOF. I marked HARD when that came on. Who do you think does the induction? Heenan? I can't wait for their discussed Mr. Perfect DVD set. I can't see it being anyone other than Heenan really. And honestly, that's just...perfect.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 06:59 PM) Yeah, I believe that about assures a repeat of "most pessimistic" award. That's what I call a man's prediction. Haha, basically every aspect of this post is pessimistic...even the stuff not concerning the Sox. Kudos

Happy Birthday!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 10:59 PM) Ha, I was just going to PM you about that. I figured you would be all over it. hell of a collage with all of his good promos. I wasn't even watching, but the tv was on and I was vacuuming the dorm. I happened to glance up and saw him, so I immediately dropped everything and watched. I didn't even know why they were showing it...and then the HOF thing came up and I was pretty damn giddy. This is a good day for me and for wrestling.

Perfect's going to the Hall. I f***ing love it.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 07:31 PM) I just laugh when I see ads for the Simpsons movie. I can't bare to watch a free 20 minute episode why the hell would I pay to see a 90 minute episode? They should have made it 10 years ago like they talked about originally. I thought I heard that it was actually written a long time ago? If so, it actually may be good.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 07:55 PM) Or Jim Hungry doing it with relievers starting with Dumpster and Eyre last year. I know he has had a hard on for Soriano for a long time but I think he's going to regret that deal. Howry.

QUOTE(shoota @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 05:49 PM) I'm guessing you say him play Maris in 61? Yes, but he also really does look like him.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 04:58 PM) Turn into a tool and you got it. ^^^^^^^ Though I was gonna ask why you'd wanna look like an idiot.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 03:04 AM) It's not the idea of DiCaprio going under cover, but having to sit through prison for several months as a precursor. I thought DiCaprio had a decent look when Damon began to turn his head sideways, which forced him to hide alongside a store. His reluctance to first provide the information, then soon after leave is what I was referring to. I dont' know why I wrote he failed to provide his information, as it would have made the entire chase sequence useless. I agree about not having to explain every detail within a film, or rather, having everything represent something other than itself. David Lynch's films can be absurd at times with this idea. For me, Damon staring at the dome made it appear as if he had a connection with it. Whether something happened there, or he just felt emotionally attached. I don't believe it was the same church he was an alter boy for.... I'm pretty sure it was the state building, and I think they even mentioned that Damon aspired to become a politician or something like that. Plus, the Van Morrison version of that song is awesome.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 02:45 AM) I wish there was some way you could bet on WWE, I'd be filthy rich. It's so damn predictable. I don't watch that much, but when was the last time Cena lost? He has never lost.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 02:34 PM) You probably already know this, but you can check out the interview along with some others by clicking on the links on this page (scroll down and you'll see the links under "Spring Training" on the right): Interviews I just watched those and I must admit, I had no idea Eduardo Perez was American.

QUOTE(shoota @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 12:37 AM) This actor always reminds me of Foulke. http://imdb.com/name/nm0001608/ He reminds me more of Roger Maris.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 18, 2007 -> 11:47 PM) So Helms finally lost the belt, huh. How long did he have it? Had to be over a year. I miss the Hurricane.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 18, 2007 -> 07:41 PM) My how Benoit has fallen down the ladder since a couple of years ago. That guy bores the hell out of me.

QUOTE(bigruss22 @ Feb 18, 2007 -> 05:41 PM) uhh lets see, u just said one and done, thats what kenny is trying to prevent by having a surplus of young pitchers with high ceilings to replace the overpriced free agents. and i guess your right, why would any free agent want to come to a team were so many fans are so negative on their general manager who won the world series only 2 years ago and now wants him fired after winning 90 games in baseball's toughest division, yeah i wouldnt want to sign on that team either because of the negativity that fans like you bring onto a team that has once again a very good chance to win it all this upcoming season and in the near future. and poor trades? how do u know that the trade is poor before spring training hasnt even gotten into full gear yet? if floyd is as good as our scouts say he is (and our pro scouts are quite good) then he could have a very surprising season in the 5 hole, and some scouts think gio is the next liriano, all for a guy who was being paid 10 mill for next season, probably wasnt going to resign, and had a dead arm for half of last season, oh by the way everybody (atleast almost everybody) knew and wanted him outta here danks is projected as a little bit better than mccarthy, who even tho with a year in the bullpen and some outstanding performances as a starter, still wasnt any garuntee stud. someone else posted saying that teams tend to struggle versus pitchers with little or no scouting on them, and that def happened. im not saying hes going to suck, but he may not turn out to be as great as everybody thought, plus he gave up a ton of homers as a starter and reliever, then masset could also start, but seems better fit in the bullpen and has been seen as the next jenks, which i wont complain about getting cotts, as incredible as his 2005 season was, has been wildly inconsistent, as his ERA has been up and down throughout his major league career, and to get a power arm in aardsma in return sounds pretty fair to me, plus i like wat KW said in that he is trading for players who fit well in the Cell I do agree that KW has said some pretty stupid stuff (beurhle situation) and he needs to improve on PR situations, like the Frank Thomas one THE ONLY WAY THE FAN BASE WILL NOT BE UPSET IS IF THE TEAM WINS GAMES AND CHAMPIONSHIPS, and that is what kenny is trying to do, he did once and i have faith that he can do it again very soon What? QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Feb 18, 2007 -> 07:31 PM) What other moves has Cashman made this offseason when has cashman not gone out and traded for/gotten an FA that the fans wanted? It didnt' always work out but to compare cashman to williams is ludicrous. Williams is already setting us up for a huge payroll slash in 08 and I will just about vomit if the Sox do that. Yeah, that schmuck Cashman hasn't even won a WS in years with a payroll which happens to be the highest in all of baseball every single year he's been the GM. It is ludicrous to compare Cashman to Williams, and a slap in the face of KW.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 18, 2007 -> 04:29 PM) I'm sorry, but this is bad business... I can see JD, Buehrle, and Tada all being highly annoyed that KW felt the need to talk honestly about this. It would annoy them that KW said he wouldn't hold it against them if they wanted to test free agency?

Jenks looks noticeably skinnier to me. Does it seem to everyone else that our guys seem to be coming to camp in better shape this year than last?
