The Bears deserve to blow this due to Mad-Martz' ridiculously stupid playcalling.

Stupid play calls by Martz. You're up by 2 scores, you've run like mad all day long, and you pass first two downs?

What's a good, British drink? I want to make something special for today's game... off to Google, I guess!

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) I'm playing madden and drinking big hurt beer waiting for my dumbass friends to pick me up for a party. So I have no idea. I had a very similar evening on Friday night. Played Madden, drank BHB, and waited for a buddy to pick me up so I could be his wingman. Good times.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 01:53 PM) Obama is turning into Ozzie and his apologists seem like Marty, greg, and Cowley to me. Look at all the facts you included to support this post.

I really don't get the hate on Kreutz. Jesus, everyone's so quick to flame. He did f***ing walk away. He could have collected a paycheck all year long. He was tired of looking like an idiot and left a lot of money on the table. Yeah, what he did with the Bears was ill-advised... blame (and thank) his agent. Kreutz deserves nothing but praise for being a good soldier and a truly elite player at his position for more than a decade. Man, I really hate how reactionary and negative everyone is to players at the end of their careers. It'd be f***ing hard for me to admit that I now sucked after many years of being awesome, too.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 01:33 PM) The cards. Nice!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 01:01 PM) Exactly. Why can't anybody except Balta be willing to discuss this. He f***ed up badly and nobody wants to talk about it cause I mention Ozz in the same context? Why the venom? I'm trying to make points. Everybody wants me to cite examples. I do and get nailed hard. Watching the game with friends, you could tell Motte didn't have it. I was impressed and amazed he took him out and said, 'If this move works, he's a genius, replacing the closer.' It failed, they lost and one guy watching with us said: 'Now the story is LaRussa took out his closer. You can't take out the closer. It will kill his confidence the rest of the series.' Managers often cannot win. ALL MANAGERS even ones named Ozzeroo. I swear to God if you post about Ozzie again I am going to throw this apple I'm eating at the wall.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 12:49 PM) Guess the tweeter: "Great man, great coach. One day Sox fans will have an idea of what a hitting coach actually does and appreciate Walk." too english to be oz COWLS!

I don't understand the qualifications that go into being a hitting coach after the amount of fail that has been on the Southside.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 11:53 AM) I actually talked to him about a month ago on another message board. Cool story, bro.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 12:44 PM) I can safely say that I am getting old. Today I got my first paycheck after being unemployed for two months and bought a couple shirts for work and a coat. What happened to me? I used to be cool. I get super-jazzed when Express has their dress shirts on buy one get one half off and I can combine them with a coupon.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 10:24 AM) It was Hammer with the set play off the face off. Just awesome. This team has alot in common with the Cup Winning team from the back to the front. Hopefully we can stay healthy and Craw's groin doesnt flare up and force us to use Emery. Hammer = IKEA Yeah, if Craw missed a decent amount of time, you'd see Salak up here, as he's the superior goaltender, and the organization knows it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) I have the overwhelming desire to see one of them with an occupy sign. I have the overwhelming desire to cut you.

That's pretty tight.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 09:56 AM) They are so much better than before and it sounds like they have great team chemistry. There are still a few lapses that let the other team in the game but I assume some of that is having alot of new guys still gelling. The PP could use some work. I'm telling everyone. Knock on wood for health, but this team is better than the one that won the Cup two years ago. I pray they stay healthy. They are f***ing relentless. The whole attack is beautiful. With the puck in the zone, they are deadly and use every piece of open real estate. The team, as a whole (even Carcillo, who keeps impressing me) is utilizing Gretzky's Office so well, which keeps the goaltender off his game and makes the d-men work extra hard. That pass from Carcillo to Toews last night was a prime example. As for the rush out of the zone; I'd feel bad for the other teams if it weren't the Hawks dominating them. You go for a line change? You better be ready for a 3 line pass to start another rush. I forget which d-man started a play last night (I think it was IKEA), but he launched the puck out of the zone on a designed play off a faceoff just outside the Hawks' blueline, which skipped off the boards and directly to a streaking Hossa right as he entered Avs territory for a 1-on-1 wrister and a spectacular reaction by Varlamov to keep it out of the net. As someone who has played ice hockey his entire life, making that kind of pass is ridiculous. The Blackhawks have such a unique combination of defensemen who can start a rush... it's magic. If not for Varlamov standing on his head in the 2nd/3rd periods last night, the Hawks win a laugher. /gushing

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) cats are so damn weird They are great. And they'll look at you with their asses in something they don't fit in and just give no f***s.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 08:00 AM) I'm like an underdog in the MLB playoffs No. No you are not.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 01:35 AM) Just finished Internal Affairs. I'm even more disappointed in The Departed now than I was before. Besides Departed adding 50 minutes of useless material, a retardedly convoluted ending, and making the two girls one person for extra "drama", it was an exact remake. That sounds odd looking back over it, but I know others here have seen it and agree. *Infernal

Yeah, see, this is where Rose is being smart. His boys will happily drive him around (although dude shoulda been sober obviously) vs letting D take the plunge. I'm sure that guy will be handsomely rewarded for his troubles. I mean, sure, I'd prefer the league MVP and the only reason the Bulls stand a chance to not be out clubbing and taking the inherent risk that is getting in the car with someone over the legal limit, but that'd make me quite the hypocrite given my willingness to do something similar in the past and I'm sure in the future.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 09:47 AM) Sounds like they've shown a lot these last two games. I wish I could have stayed awake to see them. Yes. They are playing quite well.

Unless Balta's able to get a successful hit attempt out on SS2k5, there's just no possibility he catches him.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) Anyway... Do we all agree that it was pretty classless of Ozzie to smear Coop like that in the press? People are always like: oh, that Ozzie! Saying whatever's on his mind! You know, that's great but let's be honest: that doesn't mean he has any class. Like in this instance. I don't think anyone has ever claimed Ozzie has class. Anyone claiming Ozzie has any class need just look to the words that came out his mouth when the Sox no longer wanted him as a player... or when he called Jay Marriotti a f**, or his dropping curse words in press conferences. He doesn't give a s***. I don't care either. Dude did a good job with the 2005 club. It came to a boil like almost every other time someone leaves the organization. There's a reason people get so upset when the White Sox are ready to part with them, and it's probably because Jerry runs a clean organization and treats you like one of his own, so when it's time to go (or when he can't show you loyalty with an extension) it turns into a sibling pissing match between whoever is leaving and whoever is staying. Ozzie was on the other side when Magglio wasn't offered a contract. He had a lot of things to say about that "Venezualan Piece of Sh*t" (oh that classy Ozzie!). It is what it is. People hate leaving or being forced to leave the White Sox normally. Sadly, Ozzie has no class, so he's making a big stinking public deal about it. You know he absolutely adores the stage he has to explain himself on Baseball Tonight.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) The one thing that bugs me about the fact that I agree with you is that except for the Super Bowl abortion ad, he's pretty much kept his mouth shut since finishing at Florida. Yeah, wtf. It's not like Tebow contributed at all to this s***ty article. Here's an idea, f***ing ignore ESPN people, since ESPN sucks fat donkey nuts. Tebow made the mistake of... listening to his mother (who brought the idea of that Super Bowl ad up). I don't get the hate.
