I'm so SHOCKED that the Russians are doping! http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=08...;show_article=1

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 10:44 PM) And my response to that is... who the hell gives a crap besides you? Me. His post contained exactly what I would have wanted to read... reaction. Again Obama's camp takes the high road.

If it were 3 years ago I'd be at Pineapple Express tonight, but I will settle for Friday. I cannot wait for this movie.

Time to pre-order Madden.

The White Sox need to be first in line for him. He might actually get a decent payday.

This was the game of the year. We bailed our pitching out, now it's time to go on a run.

WOOT!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) Or how about we play Griffey Jr. against LHP when he sucks against them while Anderson's been looking good at the plate? Yeah... that was in my original post.

Let's trade for Ken Griffey, Jr. because Paul Konerko is struggling. He will fix our issues with Pauly's dead bat, and when we face lefties he can get a day off. Oh wait, we did that, and that was the plan... So what happened? Since the trade Konerko's played 4/5 games, while Griffey is in against lefties when we have Swish on the bench who is a switch hitter. I just don't get it sometimes.

They left out 224 which some friends up north have.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 12:02 AM) That's a top notch setup right there. And of all places to go in a natural disaster, why not come to Soxtalk? Exactly.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Aug 4, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) My electricity better not go out. Anyone else around DuPage County have sirens or warnings. Yup, we got mad sirens out here, and then the power immediately went out. It's still out, but thankfully I have a laptop and the wireless verizon internet.

Oh Ozzie, we're all so shocked.

link I REALLY hope he comes out of this one alright...

I'm only posting this because I have nothing against the guy. He would not have been a good starter in the AL, in my opinion, and this thread is not a "we shouldn't have traded him" thread. However, I saw this interesting tidbit today... Why not move the kid into the rotation? He's pitched in Texas and the Cell over his first few seasons, and though Cincy's no picnic, the lineups in the NL are far more forgiving than the AL. I hope Masset goes on to have a fine career in the NL, I do think he will be quite good. So, this thread is for following his exploits as he tries to become a key member of the Reds' starting rotation this year.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 03:26 PM) Has it occurred to you that when you load up this thread with SOOOOOO much Obama promotional material, you are actually repelling voters from him? People here are actually tiring of Obama all the more because of your posts. What you are doing is counterproductive. How about some discussion? How about some pieces about his policy statements, and how they might help the country? That's quite the sweeping comment. If his posts deter someone from voting for Obama, that's just hilarious.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) Actually, Fields still does have a lot of value. I guess scouts haven't seen him play this year. Is this a joke? Believe it or not, you don't know more than scouts. Perhaps teams are shying away from a AAA 3B who turns 26 in 5 months and still strike out every other at-bat. I said it months ago that we wouldn't get much if we dealt Josh, because he's not as good as most want to believe.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 10:02 AM) Goodell was quoted last night saying he was going to wait to reinstate him until monday because Green Bay and Favre were still discussing options. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3516300 He's been re-instated by Commissioner Goodell.

I'll tell ya what though, if you would've told me Ken Griffey, Jr. would be hitting 7th for us this season, I'd say we're looking pretty pretty good.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 04:49 PM) *GASP* You broke your vow not to respond!!!!!!! How will you live with yourself!!!!! Where did I vow not to respond? And I don't react like every loss is the end of the world, so you're basically attacking me for no reason. Congrats. Welcome to the board.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) haha, that has a ring to it. Don't laugh, you're ripping Swisher.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 04:36 PM) Well i figured: A: you don't like swisher and will rip him for anything B: you think dirty 30 is stupid and somehow makes a difference so my response stands. Again, you're completely off. Swisher's a goofy guy. He's SO GOOFY in fact, that he might feel like something is different if he wore the #1. I won't rip Swisher for anything. Posters like you, the ones who jump in, try to raise some hell, you'll learn soon enough that's not what makes good sports talk. Let me tell you one thing though, don't jump to conclusions... it makes you seem like an ass. *Note, I said "seem like" I didn't say you are one.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) You know, I thought about it a bit. If you're thinking outside of the box in casting The Riddler, you know who might make a good Riddler if he wasn't busy? Quentin Tarantino. Nonononononononono. We need good actors in these movies. I think Tarantino would be terrible. If they did the Penguin, though how you try to make that villain believable is beyond me, Phillip Seymour Hoffman would be a good choice. As for the Riddler, I don't see Depp in that part.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 04:31 PM) Tell me what you guys think. I was thinking for the groomsmen(5 of them) I would get them a replica T-shirt jersey of their favorite players. The 2 best men, I would get them jerseys of their favorite teams. Two best men? Seems kind of weird... kind of, well, neither is the best man then. Anyhoo, I like the idea.
