QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 07:59 PM) Mariotti would rip the American teams. Actually, he's been covering the Olympics and has not been ripping them.

I welcome as many D-bags as want to show up. More attendance = more money = better players. We actually have a management that wants to be good.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) LMFAO It's a conspiracy against the US! The officials should be blamed for Sacramone's choke job on the floor exercise and also for Liukin and Johnson stepping out of bounds after Sacramone as well then, I assume? No athlete said anything... it was a Romanian who happens to coach them.

Hooooray! Now sign Danks and I'll be a happy camper.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:20 PM) LOL, do you really think it's genuine? The guys sees a camera and jumps all over the opportunity. The spirit of the Olympics is representing your country on the field, on the mat, on the bars, whatever. Not representing them on camera. I guess him being, by far and unquestioned, the best on the team... as well as representing USA tonight for the individual event, doesn't qualify as representing his country? He's f***ing cheering on his teammates, and I know you can't prove he doesn't do that when the cameras aren't on him. There's been multiple times, through qualifying as well as the team event, that I could hear Horton cheering during an event, the cameras were not on him. You're just picking on him to pick on someone. Please don't, because Horton (as well as most of his teammates), is a breath of fresh air for sports fans who most of the time put up with the likes of Chad Johnson and Manny Ramirez.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) That guy is the corniest, most douchebaggish person I've ever seen. "Alright USA! #1! Let's rip it! Show 'em how it's done baby! We're going swimming in the rivers tonight!" I love that about him. He embodies team. He's always yelling "GO USA!" If you have a problem with that, you have a problem with the spirit of the Olympics.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) i still think she rocks. I didn't say she didn't. She's an ass kicker and my favorite of the female gymnasts this year. All business. Tonight is Jonathan Horton night, and he's the s*** too. I love his attitude.

Ha, a few more of those dasturdly facebook images. Verdict? She's human!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 08:59 AM) Download the online roster. Favre is on the Jets (94 overall). Pennington move hasnt been done yet but others have. Why do that? I more realistically edited Favre down to an 87 overall, and took care of the few issues that remained that the online roster didn't bother to do.

I love the fact that now anyone who is Probama knows nothing about the issues and is a political idiot. That's a really easy way to look at it if you're for the opposition.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 08:41 PM) These stories of people boycotting "Tropic Thunder" makes me wanna see it even more. It's fricking satire folks! Stop taking it so seriously. Geez! Oh yeah, I'll be seeing it. I don't remember the last time two great looking comedies came out in back to back weekends (that I wanted to see). Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder fit that billing.

I'm in love with the new Madden. They finally on the next gen systems decided that every player should not have the same physique. It pisses me off that the opposition kicks to Hester only like 20% of the time, but that's realistic. This game is just good, it looks great, it feels real, and Rex Grossman even gets injured in it. My only complaint is that for some reason Mike Brown is dark black instead of light, and his face isn't on his player. I don't get how you miss him. The rosters are also deep... the only issues I noticed were obvoiusly Favre (whom you can release from teh legends team and edit down a bit to move to the Jets), and Pennington who you move to Miami. This is a good game that stays challenging.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 02:19 AM) You have to go with logic here...when Byrd was placed on waivers, at that time, Contreras was still healthy and/or projected to pitch and return to the Sox rotation. Hence, KW passed on Byrd, because I'm sure taking on an additional starter (and something like $2-3 million dollars in payroll) simply as insurance and replacing Masset's role wouldn't have been warranted by that time. True, but Contreras was injured when Byrd cleared waivers, and to my best recollection remained injured when he was dealt to Boston.

Even if he's injured, this award already belongs to Longoria.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 05:56 PM) arm numbness from being hit by pitches on multiple consecutive days Is this for real? he probably desperately just needed a day off.

A lot of it is the difficulty of the programs they are running. The Chinese are running events of 8.200 difficulty while the Americans' are all around 6.200. That starts you off with a 2 point advantage.

Cash is all it would have taken... Jeez, we should have nabbed him.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:32 PM) lol@Pods making it. He's one of the most disrespcted and hated on players in the history of Soxtalk. Not by me. He hit one of the biggest homers in club history and was a key factor to our World Series.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 04:11 PM) What part was that? I recall a similar thing happening when I went.

They did just get Rocco Baldelli back, we'll see how he does.
