Hair Cuts Coming
QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:45 AM) Does anyone remember how Metallica started to suck and sell out the moment they cut their hair? You could also tie that in to Napster, Jason Newstead leaving the band, and the fact that they werent bad-asses anymore. When Lars is on their last documentary "Some kind of (piece of s***)" talking about his art collection, you get the idea that they dont have that edge and it was lost a long time ago. back to b****ing about hair length and tarp sliding

Hair Cuts Coming
QUOTE(shoota @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:43 AM) Each man's hair looks good. I'm disappointed. Shoota, you have 9 posts and most of them are about how good players look. Is that strange to you?

Ryan Jury reaches verdict
QUOTE(Brian @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:31 AM) I remember opening up the Daily Egyptian at SIU and saw that some student hit him in the face with a pie. I knew that girl, that was some funny stuff. She almost got expelled for that.

Mlb 2k6
QUOTE(WCSox @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) Yeah, no kidding. B-Mac's in the minors, but Bajenaru's on the 25-man roster. I'm surprised that Shingo wasn't on the roster as well. 2K6 is the greatest game in the history of "ever", stop trying to make it sound bad. We all obviously have no idea of what we are talking about.

So is Cintron a starter?
QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:14 AM) This is a championship team. If B.A. has a poor first half, do you guys think KW will go out and find a center fielder midseason? Or will we just stick it out with BA? Should be interesting. He replaced Rowand twice via trade, it helped ARow out in the longrun. I wouldn't be surprised if KW does it again. But then again BA is our 9th place hitter. But wouldn't you rather have Uribe hit at#9? Hmmm I smell the Griffey rumors coming back come June if BA is still struggling. I think Griffeys constant leg injury problems would exclude him from the list of replacement centerfielders. He is already leaving games with knee stiffness, and last year he had to shut it down at the end of the year again. I think the days of Griffey-talk have come and gone. With Thome as our DH, we can now honestly say "Where would he play?", because I sure as hell dont want that kind of a liability in CF.

Hair Cuts Coming
QUOTE(Sox1422 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:14 AM) Even AJ said he didn't care about getting his hair cut. He said it is starting to bother him since he has not had a cut since last July. He also said that he had a bet with Crede to see who would get theirs cut first and he won the bet (Crede got a trim not too long ago) so he is ready to cut it and has a "hair appointment" later this week. Wow, last July? Thats a long time. I would almost think it would be longer, but people's hair grow at different rates

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 10:07 AM) Lets see JR doesnt want to be like the yankees, but he doesn't want to be like the red sox?? Pick one or the other JR. Ummm, no. I want to be like the White Sox, not like the Yankees OR Red Sox. JR can run his ship as he sees fit.

skipping jury duty vs. skipping class
QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 09:42 AM) And juddling... there are many much older that have the same mentality. My ex-girlfriend in college used to have her Mom call her jobs and quit for her. I used to tell her that it was pretty low that she couldnt even quit for herself, but she didnt care. Mommy would do it.

2006 MLB Catch-All Thread
QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 08:53 AM) I saw Bonds the other day on a Fox Day Game against the Astros. He almost hit 2 homers on 2 fastballs Bucholz threw right down the plate, so he's still got the power, but the announcers kept mentioning how bad his plate discipline has been and how he's been swinging at a lot of balls outside the plate. And unless that changes, he's not going to improve his power numbers in a hurry. And maybe Loaiza should start throwing above 85MPH instead of wondering about Voodoo Curses. You think Billy Beane is re-considering that 3Y/21M deal right about now? Bonds basically missed a year of playing, I can understand how his timing isnt on yet. However, his warning track flyball yesterday against the dodgers looked like a ball he would have crushed in the days of yesteryear. He was right on it, it just didnt go as far as we are used to. There could be a couple of things that are bringing Bonds back to earth if you think about it. First and foremost, he is (probably) off the juice. His knees are not the same, and he doesnt get as much lower body drive as he used to. His elbow could be bothering him if he really does have that many bone chips floating around. And almost an entire year off last year could have hurt his timing. Everyone points to the lack of steroids, but it really could be a combination of a couple different things.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) BMAC is in 2K6, he's in the minors... go to roster manager... LOL, whats the point? He already gave up on the game because of its sucktitude. 2K drops another notch How long does 2K sports have the rights to make the official MLB games? Hopefully MLB corrects this error soon.

Vinny Gambini: What? Judge Chamberlain Haller: Uh... did you say 'yutes'? Vinny Gambini: Yeah, two yutes. Judge Chamberlain Haller: What is a yute? [beat] Vinny Gambini: Oh, excuse me, your honor...

Iguchi Play
QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 07:52 AM) O.K., the Iguchi throw is no longer on the page, anybody have it linked someplace? If you go to the video highlights, all you get are homeruns and Pods catching a ball while sliding. its in the middle of the official white sox mlb page, under sights and sounds. It says "Iguchi's tremendous throw"

Films
QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 12:09 AM) Yesterday, I rented perhaps the worst movie I've seen in recent memory, "A Sound of Thunder." The special effects featured in this movie rival Tron. And atleast Tron had an excuse, since they happened to be the best available in the early 80's. The plot itself is based upon time travel theories featured in Simpsons, Butterfly Effect, etc. An eccentric millionaire finances the creation a device capable of sending its wealthy clients back into time. Specifically, several hundred million years ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Purpose of such an expensive trip is to merely shoot and kill a dinosaur before it falls within a tar pit. Summarizing the supposed physics involved, which aren't too complicated--you can't bring anything back, leave anything behind, or disturb the order of the past world. Any small difference creates a ripple effect with drastic consequences. In this movie, stepping on one butterfly creates havoc beyond comprehension. Not exactly what happened to Homer when he crushed the mosquito, but still a noticeable difference in the world. Its story is what drew me to renting it. Interesting enough, I thought. Yeah, I was wrong. The effects are so bad, it just's too hard to take anything seriously. I've never considered special effects alone to decide a movie's merit, but since we're in 2006, I expect more from a major motion picture. Especially one where SE are critical to the storyline. I never intended to rent the movie for it's insight into the discussion of time travel. I was just looking to be entertained. Which it failed miserably at. Actually it was written by Ray Bradbury in 1952. (excerpt) I read about the production of this movie, and started to think it was going to suck when darkhorizons.com started making fun of it. It actually was in the theatres for about 10 seconds, I read the cnn review and I dont remember cnn giving to movie even 1 star. The book has a great premise too, just bad follow through on the movie.

Why do sexual predators feel that myspace is such a haven for them? It has to be the biggest perv-trap the internet has going right now, and they just flock to it like its no big deal. And this hot teacher going back to jail is friggin hilarious, she didnt last very long on the outside.

NEW TOOL SONG!!!
QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 12:30 AM) In regards to my favorite Tool album, I'd have to go with Lateralus. My favorite songs are on Ænima, but Lateralus, as a whole, was such a perfectly orchestrated album. Yes, it was a tad more radio-friendly, but it still displayed how crazy good they are. You really can't go wrong with either of them though. Lateralus was definitely not more radio-friendly than Aenima. Aenima has 46x2, Stinkfist, Sink or Swim(sometimes called another name, but on the radio we had to call it sink or swim), Eulogy, H. Lateralus radio singles consisted of Schism, Parabola, and The Grudge. Mostly because everything was over 7 minutes long and program directors hate that. I am in perfect agreement of the favorite songs being on Aenima and the best overall album being Lateralus. I feel the same way about 311. Music is my has my favorite songs, but as a whole Transistor is just awesome.

No more tarp sliding for Buehrle
QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) IMO, stupidest fine ever. I have yet to see anyone get injured slip and sliding over a slip and slide or a tarp. Buehrle's about fun and it's not like he's out riding a motorcycle or anything like that. I give you Exhibit A

Iguchi Play
QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:02 PM) Funny thing was he got Molina by 15 steps. I don't know what the hell he was doing comming up the line but in my baseball days dogging it to first would have been a fine. I think the guy that was playing the piano on his back fell off and he stopped to let him back on. Molina is always that slow. He is usually at the top of the league in grounding into double plays because he is so slow.
