Its strange that Canseco considers himself the epicenter of the steroid scandal, and if he didnt know about it, it probably didnt happen

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) I don't ever remember Josh being annointed the starter either... Do you have a link? reread my post, I said that Joe would be the starter if he was here, not Josh

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 07:54 AM) I must have missed that. No kidding. Last checked, KW said if Joe is here, he is starting and Fields will be in AAA. Which is exactly what happened.

Hmmmm, I worked at a radio station in southern illinois(Rowand44 probably listens to it), and my friend had a show on Valentines Day, but we were single at the time. So my friend told me to grab two cases of beer and come in with my other roommate. We got wasted and told stories about ex's. My ex girlfriend and I had just broken up and I was still a mess, so i got hammered and started telling stories, pretty explicit stories, about us. Everyone who knows us knew exactly who I was talking about, and she called my boss and tried to get me fired, and it almost worked. I am usually pretty good about not getting into too much trouble when i am drunk. Although, the summer I turned 21, me and my roommate turned into bar kleptomaniacs. If it wasnt nailed to the wall, we would figure out a way to get it home. We took bar steins, concert posters, those big plastic posters for drink specials, drink strainers, everything. We never got caught, but one day we just stopped

I just watched a clip of an interview of Canseco on ESPNews, and he said that when he watched Clemens before Congress, he thought that Clemens looked honest and sincere. Was he watching the same press conference I was watching?

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 08:53 PM) Damn nongreen users and your mind tricks. Seriously, read what I wrote. Was green really necessary DB? I think not

QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 08:46 PM) Is it wrong to hope for them to lose the rest of their games? I wont hold it against you. I promise. If it speeds up the end of the season, I am all for it. 2006 was pretty disappointing for me in terms of the White Sox not going back to the playoffs, but at least they were competitive. This bulls season blows 2006 out of the water. I dont know that I expected them to match what they did last year, but i thought they were going to compete. this team just gave up, and that is sad. Do you think Paxson would part with the same pieces asked for in the Kobe deal now?

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) Ok, I get what you're saying here, but don't you think you're being a bit naive in thinking that he has never said this stuff before? I mean, it's quite a leap to go from good normal christian sermons to "god damn america" and the white man is the cause of all the black man's problems. I have a feeling he had a pretty apparent viewpoint that was highlighted by these select statements. This is a guy, afterall, that loves Farakhan and forced Opera of all people to leave his church. And I love this argument that "oh, he's just a normal person, he should get a pass for saying something stupid once in his life." I'd like a teacher to tell say such words in their classroom, or a judge, or someone else that we hold in high regard in this society (gloss over the easy distinction of "public" employee...he's still a public figure in society). Trust me, I don't think this story deserved half the attention it recieved, but I don't think it's a stretch at all to say this guy obviously has some pent up hate for whites and the whites that have led/currently lead this country. What does the man have against Opera? Does he fall asleep during the solos? Doesnt like fat ladies singing? Does he hate music as much as america?

Another stellar effort by the Bulls against the 76ers tonite.

QUOTE(bmags @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 05:24 PM) it's not pretty much only, it is only Yeah, for now. Who knows if they ever want to cash in again and move it around.

Its a shame, but its the world we live in now. Its all about image. She didnt really die on the operating table though

You know, the Sox(Reinsdorf particularly) take a shot in this article for being hypocritical for letting Fernandez walk and signing Albert Belle, but Fernandez' arm completely fell apart after the 97 season, he didnt even pitch in the World Series IIRC, and he only pitched in 64 games from 1997 until he retired after 2000. And that is including taking off the 98 season to recover. However, the return value for McDowell and Raines was inexcusable, I have no idea what Schueler was thinking

QUOTE(BearSox @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 11:41 AM) oh come on, please sell to EA!!! I am dying for the return of MVP Baseball! Wait, does Rockstar/Take Two have the rights to the 2k baseball games?

If Richar had stayed healthy, I think Juan would be out the door right now

i cant even imagine what those kids were thinking. "I got an idea, lets go hold that police department up. They wont know what hit em"

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 07:51 PM) lol what an idiot. Yesterday I heard that two boys 12 and 14 went to a police station and threatened to hold him up with a fake gun or something. I'm sure it's out somewhere on the internet.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 06:36 PM) Crede should of won a gold glove in '05. If chicago didn't have crede's glove, they don't win a Championship. plus crede always seems to come up with a clutch hit or homerun. The guy that did win that Gold Glove, Eric Chavez, went on to sign a 6 year 66 million dollar contract. He recently had back surgery to repair herniated discs in his back(sound familiar?), and now he is starting the season on the DL. Did I mention that he had an epidural shot in early March? considering that Crede has had back problems on and off for the past 3-4 years, I have no problem letting him go.(no, I dont mean release him. Gotta get value back for him somehow) And notice i didnt even bring up the contract/Boras situation, which is a whole other problem unto itself. Its time to cut the cord

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) Big time maybe on this one. I hated staying over the summer last year but a lot of my friends are staying down here now and I'm really tempted to. It'd be hard to explain it to the parents though as I never come home. That being said, I really am leaning towards staying here now. I'll let you know when I'm for sure. you gotta be kidding me. You hated staying there over the summer? How is that possible? No lines at the bars, sunset concerts every thursday, endless house bands at Pinch Penny with the occasional big name, walking the wine trail in Anna(or, stumbling the last half of the wine trail), no lines at the bars, afterhours parties every night, Sox games at the Cellar(as well as big buckets of peanuts for 1.50), Saluki baseball games on the hill, no lines at the bars. And on top of that, you can just take a weekend trip to St louis and party on the Landing. You better stay. I will be down there for 5 days and by the 5th day you will have the rest of your summer planned out. QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 06:53 PM) "Hi, mom? I was planning on coming home today, but I got drunk again, so I can't drive. I'll try again tomorrow. Love you!" No, it's not an excuse, it's an actual explanation for this kid. Every single day. Carbondale changes your priorities. Priority 1. Alcohol Priority 2. Women Priority 3. Alcohol Priority 4. Women Priority 5. School Priority 6. Choosing who carries the other guy home

For some wierd reason, I think BA is going to take this job, run away and hide it from Owens

i think its so awesome that Lollapalooza is pretty much only in Chicago now.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 02:54 PM) I probably drink alcohol no more than 2 or 3 times a year, it's just not my cup of tea. Often times I think I might be missing out on something and making the wrong decision by staying away from the bottle. Fortunately when I have those thoughts, I can just look at this thread to reassure myself that my decision making, at least in this case, is sound and accurate. How is that possible? Everyone here is always so happy!

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 02:30 PM) Anyone else notice how different David Flair looked last night from old WCW days? I did, but then I thought about how different I looked 10 years ago too

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) The Flair/HBK promo last night....insane. RAW needed a show like this because the WM buildup has been kind of weak, IMO. Flair knocked the spit out of HBKs mouth when he slapped him the first time. Both of them looked like they hurt

Future White Sox second baseman Mark Ellis hit a HR as well

QUOTE(shipps @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 07:44 AM) I wonder how they were found guilty.It was probably Rosenhaus that admitted there was some tampering going on.There isnt many reliable sources in a situation like this that could have found the niners in the wrong. Everyone knew that the Niners were hot on Briggs trail, it was all over the radio and papers. All it takes is one "source" to come clean about what happened.
