QUOTE(max power @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 07:07 PM) This thread reeks of 20/20 hindsight bulls***. I'm not convinced it was a bad signing yet either. He might just need the off season or an extended break to heal up. Who really knows? Counting him out for the rest of his career would be foolish. Look at el duque. Wasnt Contreras known to be pretty much injury free before joining the Sox? I always remember Duque's durability being an well publicized issue, not so much with Contreras though. maybe I just wasnt paying attention, but until Contreras hurt his hamstring/back last year, I thought he was a very durable pitcher.

QUOTE(SoxFan77 @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 05:33 PM) It easy to face the facts of reality with this club? I wish I had the optimism that you had.. I just can't see how you can be so happy with the shape we are in. right, I have displayed so much optimism here. Im so happy with the shape of this club. i should just throw my hands up and say "Oh man we suck and we will always suck", right?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 08:32 AM) I don't buy Alvarez's theory. If Benoit killed his wife and son to somehow "expose the wrestling business", all that says to me is that he was sicker than I could have ever imagined, even sicker than I already think he was. He could have shone a light on the business just by killing himself and leaving drugs, notes and journals with people who would get them to the media. The concussion thing seems to have more merit, but I don't know enough about what concussions can do to you to comment on that. I don't think we'll ever know for sure. All we have is pieces of a puzzle, but we don't have all of them, so the picture will never be complete. think about what some of the ex-NFL players are going through now with the health care fight they are in the middle of. Their doctors are saying repeated hits to the head and concussions are causing dementia and rapid deterioration of brain cells. I dont remember the player that recently died, but they said his 44 year old brain looked like the brain of an old man. In the grand scale of this event, I think steroids played a very small part in it. Honestly, his signature move (the flying headbutt) probably did more damage to him than anything. If he missed that spot by an inch, it could have snapped his neck straight back and caused all kinds of brain damage.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 04:36 PM) Loved the Donkey Kong trio of games for SNES. Ken Griffey Jr Baseball was awesome too. The Simpsons game I liked was the one where Bart walked the streets jumping on those pieces of paper and youd choose between the two doors that popped up. That was a great game though I could NEVER beat it. I had that game, it was extremely hard. My favorite game was when you were Bart-zilla. I got kind of far after playing it repeatedly, but I never beat the game

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 05:10 PM) I'll bet that a lot of people couldn't see how 2000 would be any different than 1999... or how 1990 would be any different than 1989. No doubt that the Sox have an uphill battle, but you never know what's going to happen. At the very least, this team is going to shed over $50 million in veteran salary over the next year and a half. Even with Jose still on the books in '09, they're still going to have some financial flexibility. Its much easier to say "We suck and we will suck for a long time." There is no thought involved in it. Its easy

I saw the movie Eragon with my daughter and was thoroughly disgusted. Then I had a friend tell me to read the book, because the movie completely butchered the entire plot. Im halfway through the book, and he was right, they pretty much forgot half the book, and most of the important links that connect the storyline.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 02:06 PM) any chance he resigns for 08 and beyond? Briggs feels extremely slighted about this, and feels he needs a long term deal which the Bears wouldnt give him this offseason. He has talked down about the front office, said he wouldnt play another down with the team, paraded himself around the offseason meetings like a grade A douche, and generally left a sour taste in everyones mouth. I dont think the Bears are likely to want to lock him up after this season(because like Kalapse said, the deadline passed so there can be no negotiations until after the season), and I dont think Briggs is likely to want to re-sign with the Bears, its just that simple. The Bears will move on, just like they always do.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 10:37 AM) From the Arcade perspective. Crazy Climber was an awesome game. The original Pac Man, where you could use the pattern. Rampage was another. 1941 One of my alltime favorites, one of my first nintendo games

Me and a buddy used to have a video game night on Saturdays, at his house or mine. We would rent a few games and play until our motors ran out(which was usually around 2 or 3). Some of the best games we got were Bass masters fishing games, we used to love those games. F-zero was always a good time, Military Madness for Turbo Graphx was awesome, i remember Slaughterhouse as well being a really fun game.

Maybe someone can explain this to me since I really havent seen an answer and dont really watch or care for TNA, is it a federation that allows all of its wrestlers to come and go as they please within other federations and promotions? Or do they have a select few that are their own and arent allowed to wrestle elsewhere? WWE doesnt allow their wrestlers to go anywhere other than Deep South and Ohio Valley, which are WWE-owned and operated right?

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 07:52 PM) That partially answers my edited question.. Why so testy about Orton today? This is no different than the last couple months, and it seems you have had a few defectors over to the Orton brilliance as well.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 07:44 PM) I don't want to turn this into an off-season thread, but whatever, I have a feeling this game thread won't be too pretty for much longer. I really beleive Williams is going to make a HUGE splash this off-season, for better or worse. I just can invision the quote "We won't stand for what happened in 2007, and this is the best way to go about it." There will be no re-build, and while my faith in Williams has gone down, I still think this team can be saved by 08. im 100 percent with you. I dont think KW is standing pat this offseason, like you said "for better or worse".

Jermaine says "I dont want to be a Cub!" Nice hit!

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 07:27 PM) Wait, I'm confused - you DO like Randy Orton, but you DON'T like things that are repetitive and stale? You hit that one outta the yard, lol

It depends on what kind you like, really. Im a fan of Curve, i think it smells good and so does my wife, which is all that really matters. And a few other ladies at work have told me it smells nice too

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 05:48 PM) I would have preferred to see it before two f*** trophies tore their way out of that passage... where's the vomit smiley?? come on Steve, get with it QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 02:15 PM) That's what having a few kids and sleeping with the biggest white trash in the world will get you. She was so f'n hot when I was in college (4-5 years ago). I would have paid a lot to see that window of love back then. QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 03:06 PM) Bzzzz. Her kids didn't travel the love tunnel. C-section

I know the reason why Orton is growing on you guys. he isnt allowed to use his chokehold/resthold. he has been forced to think outside the box.

These types of things come in 3's right? So when is Paris going to have her next meltdown?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 11:09 AM) It's great to be.....RIGHT HERE on Soxtalk!!!! [cheap pop] I can hear Shadows, Briguy and brian booing

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/...n.ap/index.html Spin spin, little spinner..... Those drugs in my pocket arent mine. I was almost hit by the lady whom I was chasing and driving recklessly to catch. Im innocent of driving on a suspended license. I wasnt drinking and driving, I dont know why i failed that field sobriety test. I am running for president of the world.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 11:02 AM) WhoawhoawhoawhoaWHOA!!!!! Wait just one consarn, chicken-pluckin minute here!!! Just because I think Codesy Rhodesy is awful does NOT mean Randy Resthold is growing on me!!!! If anything, the millions.......AND MILLIONS.....of Orton avatars, sigs, and YouTubes are making me dislike him even more!!! Truthfully, I don't mind him, I just don't find him all that fun to watch. He's trying to develop this "creepy evil villain" character, but I'm just not buying it. For me, he's the midpoint between Santino Marella (change the channel) and Mister Kennedy (turn the volume up). LMAO, I mark for The Critic

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 12:12 AM) She looks better in that mug shot than most women do on their best day and that picture of her in the bikini is completely off the chain. Give me a call LL, we'll party. She'll be fine, I'm rooting for a Britney and a LL come back. You better get yourself a truckload of coke....

QUOTE(AirScott @ Jul 24, 2007 -> 07:55 PM) No, it's because he's a stinky fielder. Lou Piniella never struck me as the type to say, "OK Mr. Hendry, I'll play Jones and Floyd, but only because they make a combined $8 million. I really think we'd be a better team with Murton out there, but I understand." No, but Lou isnt the patient type either, and he is gonna play the guys who dont need to be told what to do (ie. veterans). Jacque Jones doesnt have the greatest arm out there in CF, and he isnt the greatest defender, he is just better than all of the options. Floyd puts up big numbers when healthy(but he is never healthy).

So was she able to just get out of her car, call a cab, and check herself into a hospital again? I mean, thats how she got out of her first DUI, she might as well try again..... She was reported to be looking for ecstasy on her 21st birthday, less than a week from getting out of rehab. This doesnt surprise anyone
