QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 08:22 AM) Speaking of Harry Potter, I'm getting dragged to the new one when it comes out and I haven't seen the previous 900, so that should be fun. its not as bad as you think it will be. You may be a little lost in the storyline though, if you arent really brushed up on the books. Basically, a kid wizard with amazing powers has everyone trying to kill him while he is just trying to complete a semester at school

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 08:02 AM) Me neither. Save for maybe 6 posters, everyone talked s*** last week. I was just teasing fathom, there was no malice intended. 2 posts about it, and I was done

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 02:46 AM) I think books are more personal in that you have to picture a lot of things for yourself. Sometimes people are dissapointed when things in a film don't match how they pictured them when they read the book and that causes them to say the book was better. By they way, watched 'Once' tonight. Good film, with very good music. It's probably 60% music, so it's basically a musical and you should be prepared for that going into it. theatre of the mind will always beat the AMC theatre.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 02:26 AM) Another legend gets killed tomorrow as Orton will beat Dusty Rhodes with an RKO I will enjoy hearing "American Dream" though, but still, Orton better not get screwed More of Orton beating up on out of shape former stars?

this is a great way to finish the first half of the season, with a good win over a team that has our number(and whooped our butts in the first two games) and signing Mark for 4 more years. Im going to hold on to a little optimism about the second half

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) Ah, I see....even though I've been the one who's been telling people that the expected packages are unrealistic. no worries, im just teasing you

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:46 PM) Not quite sure why I'm being singled-out here. I've wanted them to sign him, but after what we read yesterday, it didn't seem like he was in the plans. I'm thrilled for reasons on and off the field, and it immediately makes our future for the next 5 years better. Just teasin, its a great day today and for once its good to be wrong about something. And Im not only talking about you, i thought he was gone too

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:44 PM) Huh? I figured you would go into convulsions after this happened, you had all of your prospects laid out and ready to join the organization

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:43 PM) I'M WRONG, I'M AN IDIOT, EVERYBODY MAKE FUN OF ME, I DON'T CARE!!! THANK GOD we kept Mark, this had to be done. That makes my f***ing week. Thanks for taking the discount, #56.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:41 PM) That's just awesome!!!! Now trade Contreras, Dye, etc., and keep Buehrle, Garland, Vazquez, and Danks together. Thank you JR and Kenny....and Mrs. Buehrle and soon-to-be-born baby Buehrle. Ohh thank god

Has anyone confirmed that fathom is ok since this has been announced? I repeat, has ANYONE SEEN FATHOM?!?!?

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 09:50 AM) That movie was amazing. My favorite line was when that guy fell into the cooling tower's blades and Bruce Willis just says "Ohhh no!" Because that was exactly my reaction. Meh, it's sort of like my beef with King Kong. A movie about a gigantic ape isn't realistic, but having him dancing on thin ice was just completely unbelievable. Even if its a fantasy movie, it can still make sense. the thing is, the scene he is talking about took place in some alley. The only person who saw the transformer was Sam, and he was pretty freaked out. the only scene that could be construed as a dancing ape scene was when all of the transformers were hanging around Sams house waiting for him to find the glasses, and destroying everything around the house. But like I said, i refuse to look for realism in that movie. I loved every minute of it

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 09:16 AM) chisox72, I agree 110%. Taking a step back, I think they made their minds up about Buehrle in the offseason. The guy was given the ball every opening day for several years, then all of a sudden you give the ball to someone else. Some will say that was because how he pitched in 2006, but if that was the case Garland would've gotten it once or twice based on performance. Didnt contreras pitch opening day in 2006?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:34 PM) LMAO!!! Do you watch our games? Paulie is on fire, now at .263/.360/.495, and his OBP and SLG are both back to his career norms. He's on pace to set a career high for walks and have at 30 plus doubles (maybe set a new career high in that) and still on pace to hit about 30 homers (and climbing by the day). And he has had NO lineup protection behind him all season. Pass the crack over here, please. hmmm, i read that like it was supposed to be sarcastic. Maybe i looked at it wrong

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:32 PM) Fixed lol, sorry bout that thar mispellin'

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:29 PM) LOL, you guys are all over it. Go look who started The Office thread. /threadjack

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:23 PM) All this from Dwight Shrute While on the subject Michael Scott = Kenny Williams in boosing morale? Thats what she said!

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:18 PM) #3 ? Is that a combo platter or something that is not permitted to be discussed in threads? I wanted to ask, but I didnt have the guts. I think RME has a special talent that we are not aware of

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:17 PM) I can't believe I'm saying this, but agreed on all counts. thats an easy thing to agree with, the Marlins are gluttons of talent. If they somehow drew an owner with the willingness to spend on a stadium(with a retractable roof) and on players, they would easily be able to maintain a highly competitive club from this point forward.

QUOTE(premo @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:13 PM) If what I just read on ESPN.com is true, and they don't resign him somehow, then I'm going to have a real hard time paying money to see, listen, or watch this team as long as Kenny Williams has anything to do with the organization. In short, this is bulls***, and it's hard to root for a team whose management treats players like Mark Buehrle this way. And for anyone that says "see ya" or "dont let the door hit you on the way out" or something similar...that's fine, just keep your head in the sand and watch Kenny Williams, and the rest of the front office run this team back into the ground. Where is that guy?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:02 PM) Hey if you are going to agree with the organization basically saying they don't want any high draft picks or top free agents ever, that's your problem. But if your going to call me out personally for having the opinion that basically everybody on this board except you and a few other people with a....different perspective have, I'm not just going to ignore it. Call out all the people that agree with me on this too, it's not like I'm being a chicken little to say not signing an elite lefty for below market price is being unreasonable. thats not what you said. you said "Enjoy 2005 everybody, it won't happen again until we have a new GM and Owner." Knee Jerk Over Reaction Which is where I started teasing you about Chicken little and the sky is falling. I never once said I support this decision, I dont. But I also dont believe that the Sox will all the sudden become the Pittsburgh Pirates after having one bad half of a season and (possibly) trading away Buehrle QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:03 PM) Skiles didn't want a no trade clause. lol, this is true

QUOTE(TheHolyBovine @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:00 PM) In "internet land"? google it and get over it already, jeez

You know what this whole situation reminds me of? When Scott Skiles got his extension in 2005. All sides hated each other and then a deal magically appeared when Skiles met with Reinsdorf. Its why I am holding out hope

QUOTE(TheHolyBovine @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 08:52 PM) If you're going to be a d-bag, at least get your spelling right. That IS the correct spelling, lol

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 08:50 PM) So you think avoiding baseball's most important agent and not giving your best pitcher a really cheap deal over a NTC that only matters until 2010, and refusing to give any NTC's is a direction toward success? If you do, that's fine and your problem, but don't blame me for having enough of a brain to know what direction we are heading in. Listen man, enough with the jabs. You are a self admitted over-reactionist, dont start slinging crap because I dont agree with you that the world just ended because the Sox are considering, not even concluded with, trading Mark buehrle. we all have to read your stuff every day, but we dont have to agree with it. I have known you on this site for a long time and you should know that I am messing with you, Chicken little. Deal with it or keep yelling the sky is falling, but dont get mad at me because I dont agree
