Its funny how people dont understand that lack of a reaction to people like Mariotti is much more impactful than all of this negative attention that he thrives on. Mariotti makes me mad just like he makes alot of fans mad, but I dont go out of my way to read his work anymore. It just isnt worth the effort for me. What am I going to change by crying foul everytime he talks smack about the team I love? Thats his job, and unfortunately he does it well. I believe in the theory that everyone gets what is coming to them. If Jay is really this horrible person that we all make him out to be, he will for sure talk about the wrong person at the wrong time. It is just bound to happen. Maybe he will get someone to go "Jim Rome-Jim Everett" on him and just get embarrassed and tone it down. Maybe he will take shots at the people that pay his bills like he did with ESPN1000 and get his own ass canned. One thing is for sure though, nothing like www.firemariotti.com or constant threads about how he talks bad about the white sox is going to change the way he writes. It will just re-enforce it.

knowing the slight-to-medium indie flavor of this board, I am expecting alot of scoffs and pointing fingers at this, but I have to say that I really like the new Bloodhound Gang album that came out yesterday, "Hefty Fine". These guys may all be dick and fart jokes, but they have this 70's/punk rock/rap meld that just draws me in every time. It is almost a seemless transition from their last album, "Hooray for Boobies" in musical style, but it doesnt really come off as a repeated effort. Of course, they have had damn near 6 years to come up with these 12 new songs(actually, about 10 new songs, there are 2 soundbites that are 4 and 8 seconds long), But I think Jimmy Pop did a fine job. I think I mostly enjoy thier albums because they make me laugh, but there are some really cool dance beats and catchy tunes mixed in there too. /ducks thrown objects

Is that Hurricane sperm, swimming to its destination?

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) Thats is amazingly cool. Especially for a Animal Planet/National Geographic dork like myself. I can't wait until a live one is captured and can be studied in captivity. Scary to think that there could be a 75 foot giant like that roaming the deep. I dont think we will ever see one of these giants in captivity. There just isnt a pool deep enough and big enough to corral one of these things safely for the animal. The pictures of this squid are from 900 meters deep. Im sure there will be plenty of observation from now on, something akin to the coelocanth discovery and subsequent study, but capture would surely kill them.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) Personally, I miss 103.5 Fire and 103.5 when it played some heavy metal. It got pretty bad after it died. Are you talking about 103.5 the blaze? I remember them, good stuff. One of my favorite late night shows on Q101 was Zoltar, Brother from Another Planet. He used to rock out late night with some crazy alternative/industrial.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) I was going to start a thread on how I looked at his stats the other day and never really realized how good he is. .473 OBP in 1993??? Look at the BB/K ratio too. that was the year he almost hit .400, no?

That station cant hold a format. It has changed so many times i cant even remember all of them. I even remember way back when it was Z95. It takes an awful lot of effort and reciprocated effort from advertisers too keep a station on the same format. Especially a station like the Zone trying to cut in on Q101's market. If you are going up against a monster like that, you better bring the big guns. The Zone started strong, but never maintained their alternative mantra, slipped into 80's rock and mainstream rock(crap), and now it seems as if they just gave up. Too bad really, competition gives you better quality.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) actually 3 of the 4 make it. 2 division winners and a wildcard. Only one team is left out. dont blow his argument Rock.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 02:17 PM) the Urge as in Urge Overkill? or the Urge?? As in The Urge. A St louis Ska band that used to rip it up. If you want a good party album, try "Recieving the Gift of Flavor" by the Urge. Its their first full length album. The albums afterwards(Too Much Stereo and Master of Styles) are good, but they got away from their punk a little too much. Without a doubt one of the most hectic shows i have ever seen though.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 02:02 PM) They had by far the biggest turnout of the whole festival. People were REALLY diggin them, I almost feel asleep. I felt like that when i saw a band named "Clever" open up for the Urge. The St Louis kids worshipped the ground these ass-hats walked on, but I thought they had little to no musical talent whatsoever. Unfortunately, they opened for the urge twice that i had to sit through.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) f*** NO. Not at all what I'm looking for. I saw those guys at Lolla a few months ago and I felt like I was at a cult meeting. Not sure what all the fuss is about. By the way, those guys are playing here this week I think. Thx for the suggestion anyway. thats funny, Lollapalooza was the reason my buddy liked them. I like their cd, there is alot going on, but I like that.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 10:11 AM) Hell yeah, I love Local H! I think Scott Lucas is quite under-rated as a guitarist. I used to see them everytime they came to Carbondale, they never failed to impress. A long while ago, I think in 1998, The urge came through carbondale with Fig Dish and Big Ass Truck opening up for them. Scott played guitar for Fig Dish at the time. Fig Dish opened up, and Big Ass Truck was second, and when BAT was finishing up, Fig Dish came out and they played a cover of Sweet Child o Mine by GnR. Scott played lead guitar and sang lead vocals, and they brought the house down. The place was electric.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 01:48 PM) Gonna make a purchase, I need a suggestion. Must be something new, with energy and balls, raw guitars mandatory. My buddy just turned me onto The Arcade Fire. I would check them out.

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Olerud showed promise early on at Washington State, where he was named Baseball America's NCAA Player of the Year in 1987 and '88. His senior year, he recovered from a frightening brain aneurysm in January to hit .359 with 30 RBIs in 27 games that spring. The scare would always be with him though, and he began wearing a batting helmet on the field for safety. Does that article indicate that his brain aneurysm was a result of a game injury, or was it something that happened and he just figured "better to be safe than sorry."?

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 1:08 PM) My mom, aunt and myself were crying from laughing so hard at Pepe's version of Toto in the Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Muppets from Space is a really funny movie. I watched it with my then-4 year old daughter, and I was astonished at the amount of jokes directed my way. Pepe made that movie well worth the rental money. His small part in Muppets in Treasure island was great too.

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/player....layer_id=119976 I was watching the Red Sox/Blue Jays game on Gamecast when John Olerud came up. I stared at his picture and just couldnt figure out why it looked, well, wrong. I think this is the first time i can recall him not wearing a safety helmet on his head, and actually wearing a real hat.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) I like Kermit, but my true love is : Pepe is hilarious. I thought he was the best addition to the muppet lineup in 20 years. When the Hensons sold the muppet rights, they went straight into the crapper. Pepe was about the only good thing to come from the Muppets in the time before the Henson kids came back into the picture, recently. From what I have read, Disney is planning a big rebirth of the Muppets.

I love reading through these articles and finding this: It always makes me wonder, how do we know that we actually got the right guy? This guy goes by 3 seperate names that can be broken down into smaller names that can be pinned on anyone. I hope we got the right guy, but how would I actually know?

Happy Birthday, from where your heart resides....

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 09:58 AM) Texsox, Just to let you know, I'm glad he wrote again, as i tried to point out. ITS A GOOD thing. We win almost every time he writes, its awesome. And shutup about not reading his articles, he's the head columnist for the 2nd biggest paper in chicago and the biggest paper that doesn't own the other team in town. He should get read and commented on, thats why he writes. Nobody is crying, people are commenting dumbs***

Yet KW was still vilified for the lack of a move.

QUOTE(Bias @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) What should the lineup be? Me say Pods Goocher RowDog Paulie AJ Dye Dinosaur Man Crede Uribe I would be concerned about Paulie and AJ being back 2 back due to lack of speed, but I prefer to break up the righties by having him @ 5 instead of 6. Goocher and Rowdog? LMAO

Anyone know what the weather is supposed to be like in Detroit? It would certainly suck to have to sit through more rain delays

QUOTE(bkmoney @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) I dont have a link to it but today i read in the paper that el duque admitted that his knee was bothering him. why is this the first time we have heard about it after a horrible second half?? Im guessing because of incentives in his contract.....
