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.

QUOTE (onedude @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) the fact that there were no previews of Juice for next weeks episode tell you that the limb had to break....FX doesn't want to spoil next week by showing the audience that he's still alive. That's my opinion though. As if the branch breaking and Juice being alive were in question (I know we're all in agreement that he's a-ok aside from still being royally f***ed)... I snapped this from the scenes for next week when the clubhouse is getting shot up. Just a head's up. Unless we've got a "Weekend at Bernie's" situation going on, I reckon he's fine.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 12:15 PM) And it was a brain tumor that otherwise wouldnt have been found if he wasnt traded. May have saved his life. Yup, just heard this.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 04:35 PM) Please report back on how she likes it. I'm gizzing over this, but at $349 its really pricey: http://www.prweb.com/releases/Garmin-forer...rweb8303923.htm I actually switched it up one last time and went with the Polar RS300x, and it's doing the trick.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 04:34 PM) Is it possible to get that stuff shipped? I don't know alcohol shipping laws. If you order from a Binny's within your state, I think it's ok. Or, just find a nice relative who doesn't mind shipping and praying.

Alex Rios should be above Teixeira . At least that dude hits bombs.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) KEVIN LOVE. I win. W.N.B.A.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Boozer? Has to be. I know you don't like Rondo. But Rondo >>> Boozer. Of course it's Boozer.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) Chris_Broussard Chris Broussard by espnchijon Kobe, DWade, LeBron, Bosh, Blake Griffin, Rondo, Pierce, DRose, Melo, KLove, Westbrook, Amare, CP3, boozer, planning overseas world tour One of these is not like the other. One of these does not fit.

You know, guys, if you just don't reply to Marty and Greg, since they clearly care not for reasoning, then Ozzie simply goes away.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 01:14 PM) It's honestly retarded. Decriminalize it already. If there were simply a zero-tolerance rule for "DWH" then there's really no reason not to do so.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) Trailer 2 for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Trailer didn't really sell me on the film (same for hte first movie anyway). Has too much of a Matrix-effect going on. So is this the story of Sherlock and Watson doping Barry Bonds?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 01:45 PM) Had a nice discussion with a Bears scout yesterday. Not much for you guys, except he discussed that whey they draft, it's usually a group decision, and that Angelo is really the only one that can overrule the group, but usually goes along most times. Did you tell that dude that he's terrible at his job, then?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) Russell was built like Chris Sale. That was ok in the 60's. Now even if you added 20-25 pounds of muscle to his physique with modern training, he still wouldn't stand out in the modern game like he did back then. Those 11 rings have blinded just about everybody. We've already discussed this ad-nauseum in the past, but you have to assume if Russell came around nowadays, he'd be able to train around the clock and have modern facilities and nutrition available. You can't compare the eras, only how players played compared to their direct competition. Eddy Curry could probably be time warped back to the 60s and skull-f*** everyone, but that's not fair to the eras.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 11:19 AM) Ah snap. Thats awesome. Do they have that s*** at Binny's? I guess I was influenced by the pregame banter before game 2 in the stanley cup finals when all the media could talk about was Carcillo this Carcillo that, and really only were saying how he was a thug etc. If Q can keep him under control he actually plays a Buff-like role on the 2nd line. Yeah, Big Hurt Beer is at Binny's, $1.99 for a 24oz can @ 7%. Two will get you nice and drunk. As for Carcillo, it's hard to forget something like this...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 10:23 AM) I didnt see that. I saw the hooking penalty which was a great penalty to take and probably prevented a goal. I am actually surprised at how skilled he is with the puck. Big Hurt Beer may have been clouding my judgement.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) Props to Steve9347. Part of the Grand Prize to buhbuhburrrrlz was stuff that he included to me in a deal that we made earlier. Frank SLU's?

Anyone else notice our old friend Brian Campbell has racked up 7 assists in 5 games so for with Florida? I remember rumors of him being an exceptionally talented offensive defenseman, but he seemed to not play to his talents with us due to injury and better players around him, I guess.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 09:31 AM) I was wondering how a guy like Carcillo would fit with a coach like Q who demands discipline. So far, he hasn't done anything stupid, which is a plus. Most of those guys have some level of talent, or they wouldn't have made it to the NHL It is just a matter of getting through to them that they have to stay within the system. So far CarBomb has been more of a CarAlarm. He took a stupid tripping penalty last night, but those happen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 09:26 AM) And hopefully with the depth they can roll 3 to 4 lines most of the nights instead of having to shorten things up. Plus they still have more depth in their scratches and at Rockford. I am very optimistic about this season. Yeah. From the early on, this team looks stronger than the Cup Champs. A lot can happen, though. I will certainly say that Carcillo has impressed me, as he certainly has more talent than I expected (come on, who didn't write him off as he was one of the biggest detriments to the Flyers in the Finals two seasons ago?). It is nice seeing players not so willing to take liberties with our top players.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 09:12 AM) Stern is going to crush the NBA. Stern's hands are tied. There's a select-few owners who are willing to crush the NBA because their slice of profits isn't big enough.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 08:56 AM) It is really nice to see no one taking liberties with Kane and Hossa right now. Yup. I have no complaints with how this team is playing or with anyone on the roster (though I'm shocked to see Kruger getting ice time). The team can hurt you offensively from 3 different lines, and I think the offense is stronger than two seasons ago. Hossa is healthy, Kaner is stronger, and Bolland is hopefully healthy. I about s*** myself when Bolland went into the goalpost last night, but he bounced back up. Hopefully his back issues are behind him for good. At one point the Hawks were outshooting the 'yotes 25-8 last night and only up 3-2, so it was nice to see them pull away. More, please!

That Madden cover jinx is some kind of consistent.
