Milkman delivers

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 10:53 PM) Well, the Sox play the Jays the 31st of May. On the 31st of May last year, Frank hit his 11th of the season. Things could get interesting...... I really wouldn't mind seeing Frank hit that 500th homer against us...at home.

All he needs is 13 homers. He'll get that, injury or no.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) Right. Gary Jules cover is incredibly different musically from the Tears for Fears version if you are looking to download it though. And the Gary Jules version is the one from the commercials for the game?

I don't know very much about the Beatles, though I know a lot of their songs. But, I have a friend who is a huge Beatle fan, and we both said we'd go with George Harrison if we were forced to choose one. So, my question to all of you is which one is your choice? I'm pretty much doing this because I'd like to get the views of some of the older members who've had more time and experience with the band. Anyone who says Ringo should be banned.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 12:06 AM) Thought so too. But the song is by Gary Jules not REM. What's the name of the song?

Haven't read the thread, but I'd like to add my view. Dane Cook wouldn't be nearly as famous as he is if women didn't find him so attractive.

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 13, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) you would think that if we wanted to upgrade SS/CF, we would use our SP's to get them and not prospects. WTF did brian anderson do to piss everyone in this organization off? That's the real question. He sucked a lot at baseball.

We can use a CF, LF, and SS. I trust that KW will bring in two new players at those positions. Hopefully he'll acquire another reliever through a trade and one through FA.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 12, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) Giving up a reliever who you can control for the next 5-6 seasons, for a SP who was likely to be a FA the next day, is well insane. The O's are just an absolute mess of a franchise. I wouldn't rule out Wright bouncing back under Mazzone though, but they could have gotten him for nothing in FA. They're getting Wright, a starter, for $3 million. All they had to give up was a reliever. The O's really need starting pitching, and they just got themselves a guy who'll probably be decent and may even put up a semi-good year under his old pitching coach. Good deal for Baltimore.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 7, 2006 -> 12:16 PM) Untreated, can't it leave boys sterile? Uh oh That could be a good thing for the time being, I guess.

Mono sucks, my friend. And I hope you don't have it. I had it for two weeks about two years ago, and I might've left my room about 5 times during that span. I also lost a few pounds. I also believe it wasn't as serious as most people get it, because I never went to the doctor and just waited it out. Some people have it for months.

Piper looked so bad that it was hilarious. Couldn't stop laughing at him. And watching Slaughter try to dance was also great.

QUOTE( @ Oct 29, 2006 -> 04:07 PM) You said Grossman sucks. He made you look like an idiot today. Thats it.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 12:58 PM) I'm never wrong. If he's moved, something was indeed up. We've been so willing to bring up guys like Crede and Rowand to let them develop at their own pace, more or less - more than one season as well. There has to be something that we don't know about. Neither of those guys were nearly as bad as Anderson was this year. People are looking hard for a reason for the team wanting to rid themselves of this guy, such as his attitude, etc. But, maybe the team just feels that he sucks way too much to stick with him until he sucks just little enough to be serviceable?

I did not know that Boras was his agent.

Well, back to a two-team race in the AL Central next year. That is, barring something of this nature happening to either of the other good teams or some kind of miracle.

I would like for them to just get rid of this award all together.

Aw, f***. Kreutz resigned from the Bears?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Nov 2, 2006 -> 02:08 AM) AND BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE I've watched that, and I can't laugh. It's just so freaking sad. The sad part is that the kid realizes how badly he's doing about a minute into it, and that makes him screw up even more.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Nov 1, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) Guess we'll have to see how much all that matters next year. I'm simply of the opinion Freddy Garcia will have a better 2007 than Mark Buehrle. Plus, I don't know if I want to pay Buehrle what he's going to demand for a contract extension. As much as I dislike Garcia, I'm inclined to agree with you. If he can regain his velocity (as he claims), then he can have one of his best years in 2007. He could have his normal velocity, a splitter, and possibly better control in a contract year. If the FO is convinced that he actually will regain that speed, then I'd ride out his final year of the contract.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Nov 1, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) Oh, let me see if I can read the entire post that was written: In this particular instance it wasn't difficult to figure out. However, this is a common occurrance. In some instances it IS very misleading in the headline of a topic. I am very sorry if I insulted you Milkman, but sometimes it is better to be corrected and possibly learn from mistakes rather than keep on doing the same crap over and over again even though it is wrong. Possibly you did not know this and you are now trying to put me down because you didn't. That is fine, but at least you know now. Plus if you resign your position you are not necessarily resigning from your profession. In most cases you certainly are not. If he would have resigned from the Bulls he could and most probably would sign with another team. This happens all the time. I'm surprised you did not know this as well. I am not saying it happens with players on sports teams, but it is common in all professions. A possible example for a professional athletic team is Aramis Ramirez with the Cubs. He basically resigned his position with the Cubs. He may or may not be back with the team, but he will definitely sign on with some other organization in professional baseball. I just think it's ridiculous that you're correcting grammar on the internet. To my knowledge, I use correct grammar here all the time. I just don't tell people to do the same.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Oct 31, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) Guys, it is re-sign, not resign. He re-signed the contract with the Bulls. He did not resign his position with the Bulls. Please, it really isn't that difficult. The two words are pretty much complete opposites, so to put the wrong one in the headline of a topic can be very misleading. Anyways, it is very nice to see. I am a big fan of Hinrich and what he brings to the team. Yeah, not writing re-sign is almost as ridiculous as someone seeing the headline and thinking, "My gosh, Hinrich has resigned from the sport of Basketball."

What about Rollins and Young at SS and 2B, respectively. That'd be nice.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 29, 2006 -> 04:07 PM) You said Grossman sucks. He made you look like an idiot today. Thats it. And he's made me look pretty good basically the entire rest of his career.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 29, 2006 -> 03:42 PM) Ok. Well, I know it makes me less of a fan. Clearly I can't be anywhere near the fan of any Chicago team as someone from, say...wheaton. I just like my team's players to prove themselves for more than a few games against pretty bad teams before I call them great. The defense, and most of the players on it, have proven themselves many times over the course of years. There are flukes every year in football, and I believe Grossman is one right now.
