QUOTE(dasox24 @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 04:19 AM) Well, I've been DJing for my on-campus modern rock radio station this semester, so the last few months I've heard a lot of music that I hadn't heard before b/c I'm not normally a big "modern rock" guy. One artist that I'm beginning to like in particular is Virginia Coalition. I really like their song "Sing Along" and just heard "Home This Year" for the 1st time today, but I like it too. Anyway, check them out. They're pretty darn good. Some other songs I really like that I've heard on my radio station that I had never heard before: Car Crash - Matt Nathanson Mr. Pitiful - Matt Costa Nighttiming - Coconut Records Riot Radio - The Dead 60s 27 Jennifers - Mike Doughty All In My Head - Shawn Mullins Wait For The Summer - Yeasayer Go buy yourself a copy of any Soul Coughing albums. Go nuts

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 12:27 PM) Somebody tell me again how Mariotti sucks? I felt like I just read one of his columns, only poorly written and without much entertainment value. Im confused. That is the same as reading a Mariotti column

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 09:37 PM) I remember Podsednik saying it was time for him to go. I'd guess because Ozzie would always talk about how unreliable he was. Or it was because of how unreliable he was, as opposed to because Ozzie said it. Pods is just one of those journeyman who makes a huge splash with his new team and fades when he is there too long, and moves on. Very similar to Kenny Lofton of the past 5 years

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 11:13 AM) Well before we bought the place it was a meat packing facility, so now it all makes sense. So if we were playing Clue, it was the Rent-A-Cop (getting laid) in the Computer Room with the Coffee Cup?

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 10:11 AM) its monday........and 10 am, hahahaha. Thats par for the course at SIU my friend. Par for the course at Midlands, lol (inside SIU joke)

Whenever I post drunk, the posts are always a long rambling paragraph where I usually start to argue, realize i dont have the attention span to finish the argument, and quickly summarize and finish. Then I scan the Stupid Hilarious videos thread so i can laugh. I can pick out my drunk posts really easily, i always laugh at them. Its too bad we dont have some of the chat transcripts from the 2005 season, i was rarely sober when at the end of the season, and chat was totally out of control

One of my Irish favorites

Does officer barbrady get in trouble for this?

IIRC Johan came up in the minors as a SS or an infielder, so hitting shouldnt be too much of an issue

And Pods magically comes to life again, now that he has landed a new home

Its too bad it is getting boycotted. there are a lot of seniors out there that want just one more game.

I have SIU, Coppin St, Bradley, and UMBC

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) Boras is still ARod's agent. yes, but A-rod did the negotiating on his most recent contract And you are right about Andruw as well, he threatened to fire boras but never did. You can switch out Jones for Kenny rogers

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 06:39 PM) No, my point was since the White Sox let him become a free agent and he did hit 40 homers and had a big year, not many people would have thought there was any chance of him being back, and most likely if the Sox didn't win the title, he would not have been back. A lot of players have been getting rid of Boras lately, and Joe may step in like ARod and take over at some point. Its a risk, especially considering the SS is also a FA to be, but might be worth it. It only will be if the rotation is at least half as good as KW has it cracked up to be. If pitching won't be a problem, like he said several months ago, and he's right, acquiring Roberts without cutting into the line-up makes this team a lot better. Usually Boras is cut out of the mix AFTER he has already bagged his client a huge payday. Sheffield, Jones, A-Rod all got their big paydays before they let him go. I dont know that Crede is going to take that risk

QUOTE(bigruss22 @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 02:29 PM) Thanks guys, thats all im looking for, just trying to reinforce my feeling that I should stay out of it(which I prefer anyway ). Alright resume your nonhighschool normal lives The only thing I would say, if anything, is in regards to the pants-getting-into "pssst. protection. that is all"

QUOTE(bigruss22 @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 01:51 PM) You guys suck I didnt ask or want to be in this situation, but whateve I am now. Since I usually avoid this type of stuff I wondered if anybody else here had some advice, guess not, oh well All I am saying is that if it is indeed a high school drama, just let it play out. high school kids are high school kids, they are gonna do what they want because they need to figure it out.

is this really set in High School? If so, I have no comment

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 12:01 PM) Virginia has been extended a bid to the CBI. Bradley accepted an exclusive bid because they felt they had no shot at the NIT http://www.pjstar.com/stories/031608/SPO_BG2DMNS5.080.php

I wonder if the CBI is going to change the NIT selection process. Whereas before they had to exclude the BCS conference teams with sub-par records, now they can include those schools and usher off the non-BCS schools to the CBI and not have to worry about as much of a backlash because the teams were left out.

QUOTE(The Beast @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 11:23 AM) And I thought I was going to read a thread full of intellectual thoughts. Bummer. In the SLAM forum? hardly

Just noticing that this post was at 9:10 and the deep thoughts thread was created at 8:57. Im guessing the local convenience store had to restock the funyuns and nachos at 9:35, and rock was drunk dialing at 9:54.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 08:31 AM) Carlos Zambrano in the Suntimes: ''I told my family and my friends that before my career ends, I want to play for the White Sox. Right now, my priority is helping this club. That's what I am trying to do. But I used to be, when I was growing up, I was a White Sox fan. But every time I say that, the Chicago Cubs fans get jealous and pissed off.'' LMAO!!!! That is going to turn the Cubs faithful on him in a hurry if he starts off slow

What do you think would be the worse reaction, seeing an adult with braces, or seeing an adult with a gap between his teeth that should have been fixed years ago? Get it done and over with, you will be happy you did

SLAM deserves a Soxtalk Hall of Shame forum for posting while inebriated. I bet that it would be quite busy after games and in the offseason.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 15, 2008 -> 09:20 AM) You're right, of course the audience now is a little more sophisticated than comic book readers in 1963. Still in all, just looking at comics I think Marvel and (especially) DC have retconned some of the coolest features of their respective universes out of existence by trying to keep things interesting after a several-decades long run. I guess I'm just the crusty old guy that doesn't want anybody f**king around too much with the things I got off on as a kid. And that is completely understandable. Right now I think that directors biggest problem with adapting comics is retaining the same nostalgic qualities about the movie, and bringing the story up to speed without completely destroying the actual characters sensibilities. We arent going to want to see Batman ask a computer bigger than himself a question about a case, and watch the computer make some beeble bobble noises, blink 50 different panel lights, and spit out a long narrow piece of paper with the answer to his question on it. We dont want to see Superman fight Lex Luthor for the 4th time in 5 movies(although we did. And i think it was a mistake, even though I enjoyed the movie). I think it is pretty safe to say we dont want to see Spiderman with another love story involving Mary jane. But at the same time, what DO we want to see? If you go back through the aforementioned characters storylines, a huge portion of the older comics contain what i said we dont want to see anymore. I think that comic book movies are starting to change from the "origins" that we had to endure because fans are sick of it. they know where the characters are from, how they got there, and what makes them tick. Now lets see them do what they do, and hope that it rocks. Thats pretty much how I feel about the Hulk. We know how he became the Hulk, the movie is supposed to start where the Ang Lee movie finished off, in the Amazon forest. Now the Banner is going to come to terms with himself and fight a bad guy. i cant ask for much more than that from a Hulk story.
