Milkman delivers

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) Oh yes, any fan who hasn't has missed out on a 'classic' debut. That wasn't even a live segment, they aired it anyway. Couldn't help but feel just terrible for Tugboat. The heels were all giggling like little girls throughout the whole speech, too.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) I'm listening to D-X music. The early 90's music was the best, because the wrestlers actually sang a lot of their own songs. Some are pure gold.

Have you guys ever heard the story of the Shockmaster? One of the most hilarious things I have ever seen or heard.

The reason we didn't score more is because we stopped discussing wrestling. Back to business.

Crud

If we win this game, I suggest a rally Hogan.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) THAT IS BS Holy spiff, now that I think about it, Hawk and JR are very, very similar.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) Wrastlin'? I like me some wrestling. Kane was my favorite back in the pre-stupid days. Now hes just a tool without his mask. One of the best storylines was waiting for Undertaked to return to stop Kane from tearing through the WWF ranks.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) I hate how Jim Ross always complains that the referees are screwing the good guys. It's like he thinks they're doing it on purpose. OH MY GOD!! THE AUDACITY!

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:36 PM) some of the most quality wrestling vignettes were when Mr. Perfect would participate in sporting events such as diving or shooting baskets... and say "Now that's Perfect" I love you for that

Hey, shut up about baseball. We're talking wrestling here.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Don't tempt me. It's always fun to yell out "now you're going to see, the perfectplex". First of all, this is the greatest game thread of all time...so far. Second of all, maybe you can come plowing down the aisle and just start shaking the altar like a madman while the crowd (at least the groom's side) go nuts.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) FWIW, I asked my fiance if I could come down the aisle to "Real American", but she said no. I say you should slap your gum into the crowd and then toss your towel over your shoulder to your best man.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) Ummm ... "no thanks Hollywood, I'm not into that." Man law commercials? I love the one where the guy with one arm says, "I didn't have a fridge when I had to cut my own arm off," and the cowboy guy starts playing the invisible violin.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) How about Mr. Nanny? You can simply call him Hollywood, if you'd like. Or perhaps Suburban Commando.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:20 PM) Yes, agree Hulkster. He needs the confidence right now. Hulkster, that's the right nickname, right fathom??? You can call him Mr. America or Thunderlips, too, if you'd like.

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 07:59 PM) Here's his deal: White Sox | Dye Signs Thu, 9 Dec 2004 09:02:34 -0800 Dye will be paid $4 million in 2005 and $5 million in 2006 with the club holding an option for 2007 at $6 million (with a buyout of $1.15 million). Simple... After this bummer year of homer ball, Kenny will look to improve this team, including getting younger and faster. Although JD hasn't lost much and he's relatively inexpensive, he is on the decline. I'm guessing that the Sox will see his contract as an opportunity to change the profile of this team. You are so very, very wrong. Barring some terrible injury or freak ocurrence, I would bet my life on the fact that Dye's option is picked up.

You don't use Tylenol?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 01:54 PM) I personally don't think his reputation as a basestealer is as good as you might think....at least right now. I recall several instances last year where the opposing pitcher was so distracted by Pods on first that they wound up throwing the ball away or making a mistake. This year his basestealing has been awful and I don't recall any pitchers making critical mistakes trying to keep him from going to 2nd. And if stealing doesn't matter anymore, then all the more reason to have Mackowiak start in LF and leadoff.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 01:22 PM) hes got a great Arm, so id rather keep him in RF I don't mean I'd move him now. I'm just saying I think he's more suited to LF because of his speed.

QUOTE(SoxFan76 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 01:04 PM) I'm going to stick with great. He's got deceptive speed, a great arm, takes good reads, dives a little more than I'd like...but that has to do with his speed. He's faster than most give him credit for, but he's still not THAT fast. He has deceptive speed in the same sense that Thome does. They're both faster than they look, but they're not fast at all. QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 01:05 PM) Dye's offense has been awesome, there's no question. However, why do people keep saying he has a cannon for an arm? He hasn't thrown out anyone at 3rd or home this season, and teams are definitely being aggressive on the bases against him. He stills has a gun. But, Vlad still has a gun, and he does nothing with it either.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 01:04 PM) He's slightly above average in RF IMO. He catches it if he gets to it, still has a pretty good arm, and gets great reads, which makes up for the lack of speed. But then again, this topic doesn't matter to me as long as Jermaine leads the AL in slugging and has an OPS over 1.000, as well as a pace to finish with over 40 homers and 100 RBI's, as well as a .320 average. I agree about the offense. If he continues to hit like he does, he can do whatever he wants. The reason I brought it up in the first place is to talk about how bad our OF defense is with Mackowiak. I think, even with BA in CF, it's still only decent to good. With Mackowiak out there, it's hilariously bad.

QUOTE(SoxFan76 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) I think he's great. He always seems to make the plays. I definitely wouldn't say he's great. He's a little above average.

QUOTE(zygoat @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 12:41 PM) I like gload and what he brings to this team, but i would like to see him starting someplace else. He only plays first base with us (his outfield sucks) and we have thome for that too. I would love to see him trade to the rockies, pirates, or royals for a starting job and get some prospects in return. Helton and Shealy say that won't work.

I'd rather have him play LF. That's my stance on him.
