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

Anyone see the full length trailer for Iron Man during LOST tonite? You can view the clip right here There is gonna be some great Superhero flicks this year

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

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 07:54 AM) It really wouldn't be that big of a deal, they usually both aren't home on the same dates very often. Yeah, but once you start moving a game here, a game there, it becomes a ripple effect on the schedule. Im not saying its gonna be catastrophic, I was just wondering about it. They cant really plan on a day-night doubleheader Cubs and Sox because the Cubs(or Sox if they are the early team) could go into extra innings, throwing the other game into flux.

QUOTE(kjshoe04 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 11:19 PM) ISU beat Creighton 68-54 to gain at least a share of 2nd in the MVC. Anthony Slack with 15 points and 20 boards. Now comes the battle for the 2 seed in the tourney in Carbondale. Bring on the Salukis. It aint happenin, you better start preparing for Arch Madness. The Salukis are gonna bring the noise, the Arena is gonna be rockin

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) Wouldn't this cause a huge scheduling problem? In order to have a nice homestand, the other team would have to have an extra long road trip. I was thinking the same thing. You would think some of the scheduling would cross at some point and things would have to be moved around. Basically the entire MLB schedule would have to be shuffled to accomodate the Chicago teams.

QUOTE(fathom @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 02:02 PM) How many batters before the first doomsday prediction? I thought that was post #29

My best friend graduated Benet Academy in Lisle with her. Said she was really nice

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 09:09 AM) Umm, this isn't going to be Ric Flair's last match. I promise he'll be back and wrestling until the day he dies. Umm, you dont have to promise that. We all know

How funny is it that Alexei Ramirez makes camp on time as a Cuban defector by way of the Dominican Republic, and Richar cant make camp on time as an actual citizan

No wonder Mayweather couldnt stop smiling when he was in the ring with Big Show.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 03:32 AM) Hello bubble. Hello Mojo. The Salukis are playing with a nice swagger, last night Bone and Mullins hit some absolute daggers in the final minutes of the game, the Salukis finally look somewhat comfortable playing on the road. They need to take care of business with ISU and carry that momentum into Arch Madness. Falker was a manchild last night, and Shaw is playing with some aggression finally. I love watching Fay fly around the court too

Tonite was huge for the Salukis. They look like they have a lot more spring in their step, and they are playing with a lot of confidence. The Arena is going to be rocking when Illinois St comes into town to finish out the season.

I saw this on thesuperficial.com and it made me laugh out loud. I thought I would share

SIU vs Bradley tonite on ESPN2 should be awesome. Its gonna be tough because the Salukis never play well in Peoria, but the Braves dont have Ruffin

The last four minutes before the half in the Bulls game have been some of the worst officiating on both sides I think I have ever seen. Kirk got thrown out in about 2.3 seconds, Josh Howard got a technical, the Deng got to shoot three free throws, and he missed two of three, no calls, a missed goaltend, it was ugly.
