All I needed to hear was one quote, and it really turned my stomach. "All of those people who think we are all just spoiled millionaires, well, you are all just jealous." I dont know how that could have been hatcheted and cut up by ESPN, and he clearly stated that they are spoiled millionaires with that quote. We all know that they are all spoiled millionairres,ownership, management, players, ALL of them. But at least the management keeps it at the bargaining table. Roenick is too involved in discussions and talks to be making statements as controversial and heated as they were. And then when the heat is turned on he wants to blame ESPN? f*** hockey.

QUOTE(kane0730 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) I'm actually more worried about Cleveland. They are finally starting to hit. Im really not too worried about Cleveland right now. They went on a really good hitting tear and winning streak, but they did it against San Francisco, Colorado, and Arizona. Arizona has some pitching and hitting, but Colorado and SF are drudging the bottom of the league in pitching. If they sweep the Red Sox in Fenway, I will change my tune. But I really dont see it happening.

I think Politte has developed a taste for closing. He is nearly unhittable when runners are in scoring position in tight games. I would trust him no problem. AND, if Politte excelled, I would consider flipping Politte and Hermanson in their roles when Hermanson came back. Politte rules.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 10:32 AM) Ha, they could've just re-signed Cairo. I love seeing these things happen to the Yankeees. If only they would happen to the Red Sox, too... The Red Sox are getting theirs still. there has been a Foulke Implosion sighting(pun intended) and they were sure that Schilling was going to be back sooner than he is going to be. The Yankees monetary arrogance is finally catching up with them though, and that is good news.

The best character in those movies was Death. His one liners still crack me up. William Sadler played him perfectly

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) OK, Smart Guy... where does Godzooky fit into all of this?? Godzooky doesnt fit into this. Hard to believe that they made the offspring of the mighty godzilla blow smoke rings. And BTW, how was godzooky created? Was that ever explained?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 10:29 AM) There are soooo many continuity things, do you really want the run down? Yes? O.K.: The first Godzilla died in the orginal film. The one that carried on through out the 60's into the 70's (known as the "Showa Series" and named so for the Emperor of the time) was the same critter that came about in the second film Godzilla Raids Again, originally known as Gigantis The Fire Monster. In 1984 he was revived again, this time ignoring the Showa Series and starting afresh. These films are the Heisi Series, and went from Gojira '84 through Godzilla Vs. Destroyah. Then there was the 1998 Tri-Star travesty. Lowsy Godzilla movie, but a watchable giant monster on the loose flick...I guess. Toho got pissed at the studio for messing up their critter, so they came back with the Millenium Series, starting with Godzilla 2000, again, a fresh start. With the Millenium Series, they decided that each film was a fresh start, so none of the movies are connected, with the exception of Godzilla x MechaGodzilla and Godzilla, Mothra, MechaGodzilla: Tokyo SOS. The films are so disconnected in the series in fact that two of the films, Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monster All Out Attack and the last movie for awhile Godzilla: Final Wars more or less completely ignore a ton of stuff set-up in the history and universe of Godzilla. In GMK in fact the entire history is turned upside down and Godzilla's symbolism is even changed drastically, and King Ghidorah becomes one of the "saviors" as opposed to his normal role of destruction. No idea why Gamera flies as he does. But if you have not yet, be sure to check out the three Gamera films made in the 90's. They are amazing films with some of the greatest FX work you will ever see. The stories are great, and extremely effective. The third film even played New York a few years ago, and it was so powerful due to the extreme destruction and realism that the people in attendance actually left the theater in tears since it was too close to 9-11. Those films have a connection to GMK as they were done by the same crews. But seriously, I highly recommend them. They are: Gamera: Gaurdian Of the Universe, Gamera: The Advent Of Legion, Gamera: Revenge Of Iris. Of if you have an interest and can't find them, drop me a PM and I will gladly burn you copies. See, glad ya got me started??? Gleason, you are my hero. When i was little I absolutely loved Gamera. I always remember that Gamera would come face to face with the victim of the bad guy (whoever it was) after he saved him/her, and then fly off peacefully to his little hole. Ultraman was a favorite of mine when I could catch it on Saturday mornings, I think it was on Fox. That guy had to have been an early inspiration for the Power Rangers, he looked just like them. Now you see what you got me started on?

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) The Big enchilada Mom has big baby No. 3, 'Big Enchilada' By JOHN HARTZELL Associated Press Writer Published June 29, 2005 MILWAUKEE -- Weighing in at 13 pounds, 12 ounces, Delaney Jessica Buzzell isn't your average newborn. Her parents have even dubbed her the "Big Enchilada." The baby headed home Tuesday after being delivered by Caesarean section on June 23 -- a surprising three weeks early. Her family isn't quite sure what to make of her weight. The father is 6-foot-2 and the mother is 5-foot-7, and nurse Judy Nadolski described them as "regular-sized." "We're pretty normal," 34-year-old Paul Buzzell said. Nadolski said carrying the baby in her arms was like holding a 4- or 5-month-old infant. The diapers and baby T-shirts also were a little on the snug side. "It was ready for a steak," the nurse said. "It had quite an appetite." This isn't the first supersized baby for Paul and Robin Buzzell, from suburban Mequon. Their now-4-year-old daughter, Cameron, was born weighing 11 pounds, 8 ounces, and their second child, Alexis, now 2, weighed in at 10 pounds, 8 ounces when she was born. When Cameron was born, Paul Buzzell said he posted a sign on the door that said "Home of the Whopper." When their second child was born, Buzzell put up a sign describing her as "Whopper Jr." With the birth of the "Big Enchilada," the Buzzells say their family is now complete. "This will be the last one," Paul Buzzell said. The child weighs near double the average newborn. And according to the National Center for Health Statistics, less than 1 percent of babies weigh more than 11 pounds at birth. * __ Associated Press writer Ryan Nakashima in Milwaukee also contributed to this report. Ouch, ouch, ouch!!!!! And this baby was 3 weeks EARLY?!?!?! That lady had 36 pounds of newborn baby in the form of 3 children. Thats just crazy. And then to top it off, the parents arent huge by any means.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 01:25 AM) that was the best show i've ever been to. Great place to see a show and if you can find a band you like take advantage of it. The skyline behind the stage is awesome. Isaac and co. were on top of things tonight...pretty good setlist but a few songs i absolutely was thrilled to here (ex. broke, 3rd planet, tiny cities made of ashes) Im not a big Modest Mouse fan, but I am glad to hear that the venue is cool. 311 is playing there next month, I am thinking about trying to score some tickets even though it is sold out.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 08:44 AM) Call me crazy...but maybe because he battled a Rex-like dino in the original. Plus there was the stegasarus on the island in the original. Oh...also the Pterydactyl. It's a lost island where time stood still. Anybody here ever see the original??? I have, you are correct about T Rex. In the orginal King Kong defeated rex by grabbing both sides of his jaws and prying them apart. I am excited about this movie, and dont mind saying so. The problem nowadays is that people put too much stock in reality when science fiction/fantasy movies come out. Its a friggin movie about a humungous gorilla who falls in love with a animal 1/100th of its size and defends her. How can the movie be awful because T Rex is in it?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:47 PM) Yes but if your in the ocean and a shark decides your food you are pretty much screwed, or something in the ocean your helpless.... So what? If you live in California, Florida, The Rockies, the Appalacians(sp?), a Puma could decide you are food and you are screwed. If you live in Florida, Louisiana, Georgia (any of the southern states) an Alligator could decide you are food and you are screwed. If you live in Alaska, Wyoming, (mostly northern states) a grizzly could decide you are food and you are screwed(in fact, it happened just 22 days ago http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/06/27/bear.attack.ap/index.html). A large variety of predatory animals exist around us, and being completely afraid of them and avoiding everywhere they exist just isnt part of my lifestyle. Sometimes s*** happens. Like the kid who had his leg amputated. He confused the shark, the shark wasnt hungry for human blood. The kid was reeling in a fish when the shark attacked, the fish was thrashing in the water and there was fish blood in the water, the shark just honed in on the activity. Alligators attack people in Florida about as frequently as sharks attack people.(http://www.southeasternoutdoors.com/wildlife/reptiles/fatal-alligator-attacks.html) Are you saying that anyone who is in a car accident has a chance to swerve out of the way? Thats utterly ridiculous, it is offensive to anyone who has had someone die in a car wreck. What are you basing this on? Tiger Sharks are known to be one of the most aggressive species of shark. And they are much bigger sharks, making the need for their food source to be bigger. http://www.njscuba.net/biology/sw_fish_sha...hore.html#Tiger

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 05:10 AM) This serves Steinbrenner a little slice of justice. He has so many players with no-trade clauses that can't be moved, no prospects to move and the players he can trade say they won't go. I agree. He made that bed, let him lie in it. It makes me laugh every time I think about what Giambi has done and how much money they are paying him. That 80 million has to be staring Steinbrenner in the face right about now.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 03:17 AM) T-Rex shows up why? This movie looks awful. The movie is supposed to draw on all of Kongs history. One of Kongs most famous movies is Kong vs T Rex, so they put it in there. Personally I think the CGI looks pretty cool, it looks like they combined Jurassic Park and Kongs island though, not too sure about that. Some people like remakes (re-imaginations as Tim Burton put it), some people dont. FlaxxSoxx, I saw Meet the Feebles. Muppets on Acid is a good description, the end scene is crazy. I never thought I would see the day when Muppets had sex and it was shown.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) Hmmm.. came in to see how he was doing.. so much for that. :rolly currently he has thrown 4 innings, 3 runs, 3 ER, 7 hits, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HR Not too good so far.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) To be blunt, he f***ing sucks dog balls. I have seen him pitch a few times, he looks about the same as he did in his bad year with the Sox. His changeup doesnt have the movement and hangs over the plate, he doesnt have the velocity anymore. Foulke is a strange one, he seems to go in cycles.

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) I think this site is full of teen-agers. Who hasnt even seen the old ballpark... Well I only know of one baby..... As if seeing the old ballpark has anything to do with the present team. And I will have you know that I have seen a game at the old ballpark.

The Twins have been awful at the Metrodome lately, it really surprises me.

LOL, we are cheering for Andy Sisco right now. Thats comedy

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) LAA is the only team with a better 4th starter than us. Minny doesn't have a good 4th starter. I believe that's Kyle Lohse or Joe Mays right now. They aren't better than Count and remember, Count dominates bad hitting clubs usually. Minny is a bad hitting club. Boston had Clement and Schilling, but Miller or Wakefield as their 4th. Miller isn't back to his form pre injury. And Minny does not have a better hitting club than us. Minnesota is also trying to add sox-killa-extraordinaire Randa also. This will make them a better hitting club IMHO, and it certainly wont hurt their defense.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) Last year, Houston was 14th in terms of total runs scored in the MLB. We are currently sitting ninth this year. Where were they before they added Beltran and went on that amazing run? I am sure they were towards the bottom of the league before Beltran showed up, they were dead in the water shortly before the break.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) Look at Houston. They made a damn good run with Rocket and Oswalt and Backe who is far from an ace. St. Louis had a worse off pitching staff than that. You are looking at two teams whose offenses were considerably better than the White Sox is. Those teams could get away with having less in the pitching department because the teams could mash with the best of them. But look what happened to St Louis when they met a team that was just as good hitting, but had better pitching? The Red Sox mowed them down like noones business because they had pitching.

There is no such thing as having enough pitching in the World Series. Too many legitimate aces on your staff is not a problem. Even if this mortgages the future, this is a chance you have to take. The Sox arent in the playoffs yet, lets not talk about how the Sox will do 1-3. Lets instead talk about mowing down the competition en route to the playoffs. I think adding Jason Schmidt to the rotation will certainly help stave off a suddenly comptetive AL Central, and if the rotation comes into question if(when) the Sox get into the playoffs, worry about it then.
