Ha, there was a guy in Carbondale who used to ride around on his bike all over town and put up flyers for his galactic picnic in the public park where you were invited to bring your own food. And towels. If you went(So im told), he would go into his belief of HGttG. One of the whackies that roams C'dale streets.

QUOTE(sti3 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) EAT s*** WHITE SOX!!!!!!!! OOOPS I MEAN BLUE JAYS!!!!!!! QUOTE(sti3 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 04:50 PM) /me rips several juicy farts in succession. Oh, you were talking to the WHITE SOX! Lay off the drugs on gamedays.

I actually liked Hawk a whole bunch when I first started watching games(around 1990, when I really became interested in baseball), because I was a sponge for everything baseball and in reality Hawk does tell you many different things about baseball. My problem now is that I already know his schtick, so it just becomes boring to me. I really dont mind him calling a game, and sometimes he gets annoying and full of himself, but he really is a fan of the White Sox. I appreciate that from him, because he really respects the organization(sometimes to the point that we all think he throws too many bouqets, so to speak) and the White Sox need a blowhard like him to defend them at every concievable angle. Every team has an outspoken apologist, and most of the time its an announcer. The Cubs have Santo, the Angels have Hudler, the Yankees and Red Sox have ESPN, the White Sox have Hawk. I dont really mind it. Its funny to me that the guy from Wheaton would expend SO much energy for such a lame concept and idea. And Website.

That looks like something out of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy." Except HGttG was written in jest.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 11:54 AM) TNA is absoloute crap All it is, is WWE/Out of Wrestling castaways... STINGS BACK!!! WHOA SCOTT STEINER!!! NO NOT JEFF JARRETT!!!!!!!! Point in case, WWE doesnt re sign Christian.. he becomes TNA World Champion like 2 weeks after he is out of WWE.. Yes, the same Christian who was jobbing in WWE is now the TNA Champion.. That should be enough right there. The WWE will continue to pump out young talent to replace people they dont want.. BUT, I hope they see that letting Orton go would be a mistake, hes my favorite wrestler and I dont want to see him on TNA. I agree, I dont like TNA either. But what I am trying to say is that I think Vince has WCW in the back of his mind, and he doesnt want another situation where Hogan wins the belt and crosses over the next week. What is happening with TNA is very similar to how WCW rose up. It started with a few nobodies and jobbers crossing over and making a name for themselves, the veterans made a huge crossover, then the writers started jumping ship as well. If Vince starts letting his possibly great wrestlers like Orton go, he knows they are going to have to find work somewhere. TNA is the most visible promotion going besides WWE right now, it would only make sense that he would go there or cross over to Japan. Im not saying that the quality of TNA is anywhere near WWE, but the startup is there for TNA and all they would need is another gang of WWE stars to jump ship and they could be off and running. BTW, I cannot stand Jarrett, and while it is sort of bad that Christian won it all in 2 weeks, I always liked Christian and never thought he got a fair shake. I miss Sting, but I wont tune in to TNA to watch him.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 10:00 AM) Ok...maybe its not the funniest joke in the history of the world... I tried to use limited satire to make the point that North and Murphy are really bad sports radio hosts... pssst, I think he is just mad that he didnt get the joke and I had to explain it to him

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:52 AM) Well, most recently he was charged with Disorderly Intoxication in January which was later dropped because he performed a couple hours of community service. This was related to alcohol consumption but hey he could very well enjoy the powder as well. Back when this website was known as "Griffey-talk", there was a reds fan who was hanging around giving us updates from their end. I dont remember his name, but he alluded to Freel having some off the field problems, and I PMed him about it and he replied "Freel likes the nose candy. He has been busted a few times.". Thats all I really know, so TIFWIW, which isnt too much

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:52 AM) Remote start. elitist

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:45 AM) Freel has serious baggage though, he's probably a better player than Podsednik but he couldn't make it through a year here without picking up a few DUI's. hmm, I heard that Freels problems were more coke-related than alcohol related.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 02:33 AM) . Last year when he pouted through the American League playoffs was just another example of his huge ego. How did Hawk pout through the playoffs? He said he didnt want to be involved, probably because he was superstitious. What did he have to be pouting about?

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 01:11 AM) I refuse to get excited over this outing. Ask any mariner fan and they will tell you thornton has the ability to make hitters look foolish as hell for one, two, maybe even three innings... while hammering the zone. Little bit downt he road he will suddenly lose control and implode for a four spot... and those three scoreless innings he just threw go for naught. We likely won't know if cooper is actually a god or not (everyone here seems to think so) until around the all star break. Sounds exactly like Damaso Marte.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 08:12 AM) The poll had nothing to do with the decision. In general, I am usually the Patron Saint of Lost Causes. There is always healthy discussions with several differing opinions before any action is taken. It is probably as fair a shake as anyone could ever hope to get in real life. Well now I know who to PM when I am in hot water I know Juggs got his fair shake. It wasnt anyones fault but his own that he chose to present his faith in a questioning manner so he could cause an argument that he would never lose. Its a shame that his intelligence is wasted in such a close-minded manner, but he used to fire up even the mildest of posters with his condescending threads. And then in the palehose threads he would pull stats and arguments out of nowhere that would make me say "Holy s***! I didnt know that!". Its too bad he couldnt be just a fan.

No Baptism for TomKat.

Wow, Cena has never come off as that kind of prima donna to me.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 11:19 PM) We do our best to do things quietly. We feel its a disservice to those that are banned if we go around announcing it. At the same time we feel it is uncessary and rude for people to publicly vent for a banning or suspension. Thats always best handled via PM's. It would be like a player whose mad at an ump to go grab the microphone and vent to the whole world instead of going off and arguing with the ump. Oh I totally agree with that. I was just kind of surprised because Soxtalk has a quick and loud grapevine. Usually you hear from somebody that it happened. And IIRC, he was banned shortly after the infamous "Should Juggs be banned" poll, so I was curious if he actually blew a fuse. Ah well, no big deal. Its not like I need him questioning my life in a roundabout way anymore.

2 days ago Harry Teinowicz was talking about Vince Carter, and he said "You know, I always knew that he was a great player, but I dont know if I could cheer for him after he pulled a Bruce Levine. You know, sucking at one place so you can get to another." LMAO!

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 07:34 AM) I agree completely Kyyle. It would, IMO, make the community look stupid though (if there is no other evidence and they flip out thinking a case hasn't been persued because of race rather than the fact there is no evidence to prove anything happened). It really is starting to appear as if it was a bulls*** story though. Like Steff, I wonder what is giving the DA so much confidence. I think that since his initial statement to the press, the DA has backed off considerably. I also agree with Tex that he is going to maximize his exposure by taking it to a GJ, knowing that he probably wont get a trial out of it. The politics are starting to smell all the way to McHenry too.

I am just hoping this doesnt turn into a completely flipped out race issue, and I have gotten the distinct feeling that the s*** is gonna hit the fan in the community if no charges are pressed.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 01:08 AM) Hey f*** face... There are young people that visit this site and they do not need to be exposed to your limited vocabulary. Thats f***ing hilarious. Gotta love a thread that meanders its way down to a Grammar/Spelling/Language thread. Especially when newbies with 4 posts under their belt start lecturing. lol

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 05:17 PM) The coach angle is a wildcard in all this. By resigning, didn't it seem like he believed her as well? Over his players? Or now, what seems more plausible to me, is the University forced him out. The impression that I got was that once the sonofab****in'( )email came out the President and his committee got pretty pissed and asked the coach to give his resignation which he did. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=2398409

QUOTE(juddling @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) To be a 3rd generation guy and screw up so badly that you probably won't ever be back.....you have to be a major prick. :headshake He is a third gen wrestler? Who else besides Bob? Did his grandfather wrestle as well? My opinion on Orton is that WWE wont let him go until he literally forces them to. He is a pretty damn good wrestler, he is cocky, good looking, and incredibly athletic. I dont think Vince wants to drop him and watch him waltz over to TNA and help make even bigger competition. Basically I think Vince is freaked out by another Monday Night War scenario. There has been quite a large contingent of out of work WWE wrestlers making their way to Florida to play in that little tent they have set up down there. Dixie Carter has been rumored to be trying to get a regular touring schedule for TNA, which will make more money for TNA, which means more money for the wrestlers.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) zing! aw, i didn't know juggernaut got banned... http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showuser=463 I didnt either. It happened rather quietly(or at least I didnt read any threads mentioning it) a few months ago. LMAO

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 03:00 PM) I agree. And I don't even know what that is. SUFI's are very dangerous things. Beware the SUFI (specialized underground freaky invaders)
