QUOTE(Soxfest @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 11:37 PM) Loved the Flair tribute but why the hell is Cena involved he had NO ties to Flair at all, leave it to Vince to ram Cena down our throats to almost ruin the whole segment. I thought Piper would be there for sure. Cena isnt allowed to show respect to a retiring wrestler? How do you know that Flair and Cena arent friends backstage?

QUOTE(Shadows @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) I cant believe I didnt even hear about it till they showed the highlight on raw.. that was nuts I seriously thought he broke some ribs on that. I was sure Flair was going to survive for another match for that sole reason. The crowd in Orlando is really pumped up tonite.

Did Cryme Tyme get sent down and brought back? Or did they get released and re-signed? good move on Vince's part, they got a big pop when they came out. I forgot to mention yesterday how insane HBK's backflip onto the announcers table was, I just wanted to say that. Oh, and Ref Robinson running the entire length of the football field was F***ing hilarious

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 06:20 PM) I still have yet to see this invention they call a "computer" Your mental powers in regards to posting are astonishing to say the least

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 07:01 PM) I dont feel like doing the research right now, but does Cle have better success against finesse pitchers? As soon as Masset started coming in with hard fastball, hard slider, power curve, they couldnt touch him. I looked up Kenny Rogers for s***s and giggles since he's a soft thrower. 5.12 ERA 1.50 WHIP .286 BAA against Cle So why do you put in Masset to face the Indians? Thats why. LOL, i love that thing.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 05:42 PM) You know what? This team looked like they wanted the win badly, and when they lost, they were not happy. Last season it almost looked as if they didnt care win or lose, this team looks to have alot of fight in it. I think we come back next game and hand it to them. Oh, and who doesnt need a long reliever? This is exactly what I was thinking, great post. Masset looked like he came into Soxtalk and read some posts regarding him belonging at the major league level. The funny thing is that Steve Stone said this morning on the Mike north show that he thought Masset should start today because he expected a rain delay, and that you should probably save Buehrle for the next game. Stone wanted the guy in the game that ended up shutting down the Indians, go figure

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 02:31 PM) Our ace getting pounded and taken out in the second inning to start the freaking season. This is worse than any recent memory I have of this team. you must not remember the first inning of the home opener last year then

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) AJ, it's nice to have you back! CC looks human. Where did AJ go?

QUOTE(PlunketChris @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 12:30 PM) happy to help. I felt that vintage Steve Stone was way more beautiful than current Steve Stone. many kudos. Im sure even Stone himself would appreciate that

QUOTE(PlunketChris @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 12:25 PM) how's this? That is freaking brilliant is what that is. That is gonna be my avatar as soon as I can get home and put it there

I think i am the last person on the planet without a cell phone. And you know what? I really dont mind. My job requires me to be on the phone all the time anyways, I dont need to be on it any more. I have voicemail at home, i will get back to you, i promise.

Does Miggy look like he is in the best shape of his life, as Ozzie said over the offseason?

QUOTE(lostfan @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 09:30 AM) In 2002 he probably would've gotten a standing ovation. In the 01 World Series didnt he get a huge ovation throwing out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium?

With this new season, someone needs to create a Steve Stone talking head icon in the same vein as the Hawk "He Gawn" and DJ "Uh-Oh" icons. Maybe it should say "Because Steve Stone Said So" It is a must.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 08:16 AM) Vince making sure the Orlando crowd was HOT at WrestleMania. ....too soon?.... Meh, nobody died so you get a pass

Fireworks from Wrestlemania fall into the crowd, injure 40 people

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 10:04 PM) Kind of a boring WM. The first half of the ME was way too slow. The Raw ME was great. I knew Orton was retaining after it wasn't going to be the Main Event. Yeah i couldnt disagree more. I loved the MITB match, Flair/HBK was amazing, Edge/Undertaker had my attention the entire time, The Triple Threat match was fun. The only thing I didnt like was Kane squashing Chavo. that looked like to me that Chavo got suspended for something and had to drop the belt.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 04:23 PM) 1. Brian, you replied to the wrong post. 2. Milkman, I don't know what the thread is, but I imagine it's there, or you can ask a moderator. I don't have much else on the subject or any further knowledge. LCR has no profile anymore, so thats pretty much proof enough

If it rains during Mania, do you think there is any sort of contingency plan?

Any pre-Mania predictions? Mayweather in the 5th, KO

Rick Morissey wrote a good column about cutting through the Cubs crap this year and the possibility of the Sox surprising some people http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...,5398318.column

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Mar 29, 2008 -> 03:56 PM) Are you saying they're the same person?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 29, 2008 -> 08:49 AM) OLD MAN??? HOW DARE YOU!!! It's true that "my time" was the late 70's and early 80's, but probably my favorite era of wrestling was the Monday Night Wars into the ECW and "Attitude" era. There was just so many fun angles, a lot of guys getting to show their personality and humorous side, and just a lot of variety and competition between three very different companies with very different approaches. Back in the old AWA/NWA/WWWF days, almost all of the main eventers were really solid technical guys. Verne Gagne, Nick Bockwinkel, Billy Robinson, Bob Backlund, Pedro Morales, Dory and Terry Funk, Jack and Jerry Brisco, Harley Race, Pat O'Connor and many many more. In those days nobody scoured Muscle Beach for performers, they almost always came from the amateur wrestling ranks. The downside of that is many of them didn't have the mic skills or flashiness most guys had and have since. Thus the need for aging wrestlers who could talk well to become managers. I think Flair's career would be enhanced by becoming a heel manager, and it would help guys who can't work well on the mic. Flair talking so Batista and Orton don't have to??? Count me in!! I know Ric doesn't have to do anything after Sunday and his legacy is solid, but if he wants to stick around it would be great for the business to keep him in a prominent role. I haven't seen LCR around here for quite some time. That surprises me, especially in an election year. He must be too busy with his personal or school schedules. havent seen much of Aboz either recently

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 28, 2008 -> 05:35 PM) I dated a girl that literally had to put on makeup to take the dog for a walk, there was makeup all over my condo. My gf now can roll out of bed and look amazing to me. IMO, the hottest girls are ones that look just as good out for dinner than in a jersey tailgating for the game. Of course, now we all need photographic proof of her rolling out of bed now. Hi-res pics please.
