QUOTE (longshot7 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:52 PM) My favorite part of last week's debate, and I’m surprised no one has mentioned this yet, is McCain’s strange assertion that South Koreans are, on average, 3 inches taller than North Koreans. What did this tidbit have to do with Presidential politics?!! HE'S BEEN THERE!! HE ALSO KNOWS HOW TALL PEOPLE FROM CUBA AND RUSSIA ARE!!! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS?

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:34 PM) Not to beat a dead horse, but I want to kill Frank Caliendo. Yeah, seriously, how are people not completely over the 2 good impressions he has? He continues to add impressions, but they are terrible. Madden Bush That's it.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:29 PM) any update on Beckett? I thought I saw he might be out of this series Supposed to pitch game 3 last I read.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) I'd like Nylander but he makes a decent amount of dough fora bout 3 more yeas. I thiknk his cap hit is 4 million or so. I thought I remembered his previous divorce from the Blackhawks being messy, but that was a different regime. His playmaking ability would be top-notch on the 2nd unit if we could get him.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) I dont know who I am rooting for here. I want Milwaukee to win, but I think Philly would be tougher on the Cubs. Tough choice It won't matter when Manny dominates.

Say what you will about the trash on that Twins team that commonly talks garbage (Morneau, Cuddyer, Punto), but Gardenhire is a class act and a guy any team would be lucky to have.

I'm not sorry. The team was a pain in the ass, but I really had their back for most of the year. They seemed like bums a week ago, and they answered it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) I wanted to bump this thread, because after that loss to the twins, this made me glad I went to sox talk. It made me laugh and get excited for the Sox to do what they did. I'm awesome.

Hamels is dealing.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) I know, I had ALDS on my mind. Mods, please switch. I can't fault you for that.

You know, when it's the NL, they call it the NLDS. Weird, I know.

Spector's Rumors I really think the rest of the league could give a damn about Bulin. He might rot in Rockford.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 11:25 AM) Wasn't sure if one was started. No sweat though. I'll delete it. Too bad you didn't get in it... feel free to start another, you never know.

How was Obama wrong about Iraq? I'm so tired of McCain's lies.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:55 AM) McCain gets called out by the Des Moines Register for being a liar and wow does he get bristly: PS: Notice the POW defense shield? Would someone be so kind to write this up for those of us without speakers at the office?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 08:40 AM) Thanks to 2 new Quinnipiac polls in Ohio and Florida.... RCP now has an Obama landslide in the electoral college: We can only hope...

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 09:23 AM) If I start up a fantasy league for NHL, anyone interested? Do a draft Sunday night some week? I forgot about these overseas games to start the season. I made the draft for this Sunday night at 7pm. Sox will probably play in the afternoon. League ID: 73398 password: blackhawks1 I made one awhile ago that got most of the interested guys in this thread in it. I'd join yours too, but no chance in hell I dedicate a Sunday night to a computer on a day the Sox will be playing a playoff game and the Bears play.

1-2 vs Tampa 2-1 @ Tampa 2-2 vs BOS 1-2 @ Boston 2-2 @ Angels 1-2 vs Angels Thought others would appreciate this. I think best case scenario is obviously to beat Tampa and then to get the Red Sox, against whom we'd have home field advantage. Let's Go Sox!

QUENTIN! If that's not possible, give me Swisher, since the batting averages are identical but he can at least hit a homer or draw a walk. Lovin' that sig, by the way.

We want that one.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 08:42 AM) I was just going to post if anyone knew where to find a picture of Danks on Hall's back with the ski goggles.Awesome avatar steve. Ha, thanks man. I have it saved as well.

Been following it all year. Knowing it has a happy ending (as far as the AL Central goes) makes for a great year of reading.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 01:53 AM) Am I the only one having issues with TBS' coverage. Apparently my area doesn't get TBS HD, even though I have an HD package through Charter Cable. So I'm watching the game on my HDTV but I only get TBS in standard definition, and it's terrible. The screen gets all jittery and every time a graphic comes up on screen, the picture either freezes or flickers every other frame or so. It's incredibly annoying. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else have any ideas how to fix it? I couldn't tell you, because I get gloriously beautiful TBS HD, and loved everything except Dick Stockton. Some of their camera cuts were really well done, great direction. Showing Ozzie freaking out in the dugout to bring his OF in and the next play shows that made the difference. The camera choice right after Thome connect on that bomb showing it headed deep into the dark, extremely late September night was amazing as well. Their on screen graphics should be adopted by everyone (seriously, how have our local broadcasts not picked up the box-score mentality of showing what players have done in previous at bats??) Well done, TBS.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 08:25 AM) Quentin returning and actually being CQ would be a miracle of epic proportions.And I believe in miracles even though Ozzie doesnt. The thing is, he hasn't ruled out being available on THURSDAY. That says a lot about how he feels. Sure, I doubt it happens, but if he were just available as a pinch hitter to get worked in slowly, that'd be great. A guy with his eye won't take long to get back into the swing of things, imo.
