QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 12:42 PM) I'd be careful with that, phone could end up all red. Yeah, but you can't hoe without red lips.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 12:37 PM) I could fit something a bit bigger than my iPhone in my pocket comfortably, but I can't fit something THAT big comfortably. The difference is less than half an inch. I'd say that's simply "a bit bigger".

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 12:37 PM) lol I was on a roll. Marlins.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 09:26 AM) Can't wait for those long summer days when you sit in the couch and veg out watching the ball game with a cold Hacker-Pschorr and the laptop posting in the game thread on soxtalk... I'm sorry, I can't understand what you're typing because of dat ass in your avatar.

I like that people in here are feeling bad for a man who makes $15 million per year. No one forced to take the $56 from a club that did not give him a no-trade clause and has the history that the Mariners do. F*ck his dogs.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 11:38 AM) I put my phone in my right pocket with my keys, never had an issue with scratching. My phone always gets left pocket to itself, or maybe with some chapstick.

"I don't have a set date," he said. "I'm not coming back until I'm 110%. Who knows when that can be? It can be within a couple of weeks. It could be next year. It could be any day. It could be any time. It's just that I'm not coming back until I'm ready." Rose said that "right now" he's "probably in the high 80s" when asked to give a percentage, adding that he is "far away" from a return.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 10:14 AM) I've had that recurring nightmare. We get strung along for another 3-4 seasons, hoping he gets back but he never does. Meanwhile Thibs is good enough to keep the franchise winning to the point where we're stuck in no mans land in the draft for the foreseeable future. Stuck being "good" but not "good enough." Luckily that won't happen. Rose will come back even stronger/better than before ala Peterson. We shock Miami in the ECF and win a 7 game Finals against the Thunder. And then we suffer through a terrible baseball season until a mediocre football season starts. You forgot about the scheduling issue when the Stanley Cup Final and NBA Finals both need to be figured out in the same building.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 10:01 AM) Uh so reading this thread I just realized I had a bad dream last night. I guess because it seemed real (just watching a basketball game) I didnt even think about it, but Rose came back and hurt his knee again. It was pretty sad. I must be subconsciously worried. Well, you need not worry for awhile, as now it looks like - even though he's been cleared to play in games - the Bulls have decided to make us wait until March. .@kcjhoop just said on NBA TV that he thinks Rose will be held out into March, though an "open window" starts after AS break

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:46 AM) Carlos Boozer has been pretty good this year too, the Bulls should try and get a Melo for him. Hm. I dunno, we'd need a top 10 pick back, too.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 05:36 AM) How does someone that is as hot as Abby Elliott come from someone who looks like Chris Elliott? Ugly celebrities get to bang hot women because of money - I guess Abby had a 50/50 shot?

"End of Watch" Awesome.

Happy Belated Birthdays yo!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 07:19 AM) changing pre-order Aliens:Colonial Marines to something else. DONT WANT/ Kyle McMahon Bad reviews?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 04:09 AM) Apprently we want an expiring contract, an unprotected draft pick and someone to take on either Glen Davis, Hedo Turkoglu or Al Harrington's contract. I don't know whether it's worth moving him from our point of view unless we at least get a top 10 pick in the deal. Redick's become a pretty damn good fit in our system. Redick's been fine this year, but you're not dumping a s*** contract and getting a top 10 pick for him.

A 5" phone fits in any normal slack/jean pants pocket without any issue.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 04:40 PM) I think you are confusing what I'm saying with wanting to add a John Scott or something like that. There have been times when the offense is having trouble with the defensive system in the neutral zone and they go to getting the puck deep and I just wished we have one or two more guys that would be tougher in the corners. Not advocating goons at all. Yeah, but that style of play sacrifices the finesse we've seen. If you crash the boards you have less opportunity in front of the net. Our skill players have done a fine job one-on-one getting to the puck and poking it to the open man along the boards and then cycling it to an open guy for a great offensive opportunity and crashing the goaltender after the shot takes off - I advocate changing nothing right now.

In all seriousness, I'd like you to point to one moment this season where you thought "gee, if the Hawks were more physical there, they'd have been better off" - it's a myth.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 04:34 PM) LOL, ok I've watched more than YOU, so there. NOT POSSIBLE B*TCH

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 04:32 PM) The results dont, watching the games does. Eat s***. I've watched more Blackhawks hockey than you this season, and see zero reason for them to be more physical.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) The need to insert players whose only skill was to be physical was a myth, but overall we got pushed around. Skill players with physicality is key to being a cup winner, I think we have a few up and coming but we could still use another 1 or 2. For example I think Saad bring physicality to the wing position but he's not a brawler in that sense. However strength on the puck in the corners is invaluable. You said they still lack a need to be physical, yet they are 10-0-2 - just curious why those results tell you they need to throw more elbows.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 02:55 PM) They still arent all that physical, which hurt them a bunch last year. They have holes, luckily the offense has covered up quite a bit of them. The need to "be physical" was a myth last year.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 12:19 AM) Got involved in a fight at a bar/club, broke up with my girlfriend (totally my fault) got in a car accident and have to pay a s***load of damage even with insurance.. yea.. worst weekend of my life. yay bar fights!

Ha, what the f*** is a Pope.
