QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 12:29 PM) Caught "Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story" at the brew and view last night. Very funny flick. Definitely worth a rental. where did you go for that? My wife works at Emmetts Pub in Dundee and they offer a "Brew and a View" in the bar area. Last time they had "The Big Lebowski" on with cheap White Russians (Caucasians)

Oh, I whole heartedly agree that judgement of people on the internet is out of control. It is quite easy for someone to declare another person an "uggo" or other fun terms without actually having to show your own face or face the person you are calling out (PA, I just used your "uggo" term as an example, Im not trying to call you out specifically). But as you stated above in Red, these two girls seemed like they had a pretty high opinion of themselves and acted in that manner.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 11:32 AM) The problem is trying to judge any girl based on one photo. Photos don't always tell the whole story or sometimes even tell the wrong one. Some girls aren't very photogenic. Sometimes the light isn't good. Sometimes their makeup looks like crap that day or the light makes it look worse than it actually is. Some girls are incredibly hot because of how they carry themselves. The idea of looking at one picture and judging is ridiculous if you expect accuracy. I've seen girls not look great in a picture be extremely attractive and vice versa. But then again, the internet is a breeding ground for guys judging women harshly. The same girl a guy types about needing a six pack or calls her ugly, is the same girl he is turning his head for in real life. Just the nature of the beast (no pun intended) I guess. At the same time, these girls are telling people that they are the best looking girls on a flight and that this is the reason that they were kicked off of the flight. IMO, they set themselves up to be judged with their egos.

I think I read somewhere that she is collaborating with Stephen King as well edit: that is Steven Spielberg, not Stephen King. The Showtime show that Rock was referring to, "The United States of Tara"

QUOTE(KevinM @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 10:28 AM) I would take him as a 4th OF over Owens any day of the week on this team. why?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 09:28 AM) When you factor in the league in which he pitched and the enormous ballpark in which he called home he was a below average pitcher last season. A 4.34 ERA in 15 starts in San Francisco for a pitcher who is supposed to be an ace is just terrible. Hell he didn't even make it to 200 IP. Looking at his monthly splits, without his great August (2.50 ERA - by then his team was already sunk and it was largely his fault) his ERA would have been over 5. Yeah, I understand he should be much better for the amount he is getting paid and the park he plays in etc. I still was surprised to see 2/3 of an inning pitched with 8 ER

QUOTE(shipps @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 09:23 AM) When Gage gets his stimulus check he will finally be able to afford it. Maybe the the top of the page should say "The Soxtalk Front Page, brought to you by the IRS"

Last night was a Wii bonanza in my househould. My niece got the Dance Dance revolution game and dance pad, Endless Ocean, and Bust a Move Bash. Endless ocean is just fun to play around with, there is no real goal of the game outside of exploring, so my 13 year old niece, 9 year old niece, and 7 year old daughter really loved the game. Bust a move sounds like a dance game, but its like tetris with different colored bubbles, i havent gotten the hang of it yet, but it is also pretty fun DDR was fun for the girls, its not really my cup of tea per se, but it was fun to play with them. The song selection seemed a bit wierd

QUOTE(BearSox @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) That's been happening to him for the past couple of seasons now. http://www.baseball-reference.com/z/zitoba01.shtml i dunno, last season looked about par for him except for the wins and losses.

On a side note, Is the front page of Soxtalk going to be active again? I miss all of the original stories and schedules and stuff

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...59619.htmlstory looks like tomorrow is the first game 3/3, 3/6, 3/8, 3/9, 3/12

Damn, Zito got absolutely lit up

Reds SS Alex Gonzalez broke his kneecap, thats what Bruce was talking about

right now I am watching "Walking with Prehistoric Beasts" on the Discovery channel, and before that I watched "Dinosaur Planet". I really enjoy these shows, they pick a species and follow it from birth to death(all speculative, of course), CGI creatures against real backgrounds, lots of made up drama. there was another show, I think it was called "Alien Planet" where a scientific probe went to different planets and they discovered alien species. the entire show was CGI, but it was still pretty cool. There were some crazy invented species in that show

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 08:58 AM) I'm sure there's plenty out there. *sigh* and that is just sad

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 11:24 AM) Haha. You should really come to SIU man. The only day I haven't drank for the last two weeks is each Monday(everyone always has s*** to do on Monday nights). And no I'm not depressed. Are you staying over the summer this year? I am going to a wedding in late May, I should be down there for a week. Im thinking of trying for some a sunset concert if we can get down there early enough on thursday

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 11:57 PM) I have never seen a quarter worse than the Bulls 3rd quarter performance tonight vs. the Wizards. If they weren't dead before, they are now. Unfortunately I still think they are going to sneak into the playoffs, and get stuck in no-mans land in the draft. QUOTE(SoxAce @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 12:50 AM) I hate Boylan. /shortest rant ever. He doesnt bother me as much as watching the "core" of this team floundering around like they have never played in the NBA before. Gordon bothers me more than anything, last night watching the Wizards double up on him at the top of the key was like watching the same bad tape over and over again: Wizards double on Ben Gordon at the top of the key to prevent dribble penetration, Ben Gordon puts his head down to try and break through the double team, realizes he cant do it, tries to turn around in the middle of the double team, defender pokes the ball away from behind, fast break layup/dunk for the Wizards. And it hasnt been just the Wizards, every team in the NBA has done this to Ben and he still doesnt know what to do to get out of it. Kirk just makes frustration fouls look like everyday play. Of all of the players I am disappointed in this year, Kirk has to be the worst. I really thought he might turn a corner this year and become something better than what he has been( I wasnt expecting Steve Nash, I was just expecting solid contributions and leadership) and all the Bulls fans got was a whiny "veteran". Deng had a nice game, he looks like he is finally slashing to the basket again. the only other good thing about the game was Nocioni posterizing that russian player in the 4th quarter.

QUOTE(shipps @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) Those two guys combined have no where near the talent of Marmol.How could you even compare? the comparison was from their 2005 years. Cotts 69 games, 60.3 innings, 38 hits, 1.95 ERA, 58 strikeouts, 1 homerun, 29 BB Politte 68 games, 67.3 innings, 42 hits, 2.00 ERA, 57 strikeouts, 7 homeruns, 21 BB Marmol 2007 59 games, 69.3 innings, 41 hits, 1.43 ERA, 96 strikeouts, 3 homeruns, 35 BB pretty similar except for strikeouts And the point of the comparison is not talent, rather that bullpen pitchers are always iffy, and from one season to another they can go from lockdown to complete and utter crap with no gray area in between. I dont think this is going to happen to Marmol because I think he is going to be pretty good if he can keep his arm in one piece, but IIRC Cliff Politte went from a flame throwing pitcher who could reach the high 90's(2004) to someone who could barely reach 90(2006) in a 2 year span.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 08:59 AM) Are you talking about the Russian spy in Britian? I think it was thallium or polonium. It was something radioactive. No, he is talking about the Ukranian president who was poisoned in the middle of his presidential campaign, and his face became all troll-like in the process. It was pretty horrifying

QUOTE(shipps @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) Wow,the amount the size of a head pin can kill an adult.I didnt know this stuff was that powerful.This isnt the same poison they used on Viktor Yushchenko is it? All I could find was that he was poisoned with Dioxins, I dont know that they ever came out and said it was ricin http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/12/11...tria/index.html

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 05:06 PM) M. Night Shamaylan Are you saying we have never heard from him again? Or his next movie tanked and we still hear from him? His next one is supposed to be a little scarier, hopefully better than the borefest "The Lady in the Water" Im pretty sure im in the minority, but I enjoyed 6th Sense,Unbreakable and Signs, and didnt really care for The Woods and Lady in the Water
