QUOTE (The Baconator @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 06:13 PM) I don't think we'll ever see a lineup with both AJ and Flowers in it because we would have no emergency catcher. Just throw Paulie down there, duh.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) He is an admin you asshole. I just spit some coffee, so thanks!

LET'S GO WHITE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX If they ever get OVER .500, this team could take off... it'd be nice if they started tonight!

I was quite pleased when I saw this update come through during the football game last night. I feel we Sox fans, the ones who truly appreciate Jim, were robbed when Ozzie wanted him gone last year. He's a class-act. Congrats, Big Jim!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 08:56 AM) Leave it to Y2HH to paint large swaths of people with a broad brush. But he used a smiley which makes anything posted a-ok!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 08:16 AM) I still don't think he was given a fair shake (or a longer look) at the LT position than he should have. But I digress. Dude has T-Rex arms, LT would be a fail.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) KyYlE23 posted Project Arbiter trailer. That looks fantastic.

QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 05:02 PM) I don't believe managers make much of a difference. However, GM's make a HUGE difference. Especially when they suck. The Sox desperately need to get KW out of the organization. What are the chances of this happening? 38.6%

QUOTE (forrestg @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 01:55 AM) he's following big Hurt's style lots of power good avg and lots of walks. Yup. Dayan Viciedo has developed a Frank Thomas-like ability to draw walks. What a keen observation. Please, God, tell me I don't need green.

QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 04:27 PM) Ugh, I hate when people try to make comparisons like that... Like when Favre would throw a football and they would be like "that's the equivalent of a 97 MPH fastball" Yeah. F*ck science!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) Did you see the few posts prior to this where they said things some asshole might come in and say? I like when mods blatantly call a poster an asshole and it's all a-ok.

Oh hi, I'm just an ASSASSIN SPIDER. I only a have F*CKING NECK and F*CKING JAWS that are just as long as my F*CKING NECK! I only eat other spiders. Cool. They may be small, but Assassin spiders are among the most dangerous spiders on the planet – if you’re another spider, that is. These tiny arachnids in the Archaeidae family are only about 2 mm (less than 1/8 inch) long, but their bizarre fangs and spider-hunting practices have earned them a reputation as the world’s most grotesque spiders. They hunt by stabbing their prey with venom-filled fangs that are attached to the ends of extremely elongated jaws. These specialized jaws are about ten times longer than the jaws of most other spiders their size. To support these long jaws and prevent them from dragging along the ground, Assassin spiders have also evolved elongated necks. The combination allows them to strike their prey without having to approach too closely. The fossil record shows that Assassin spiders were once widely distributed across the planet, but today they are known only from Australia, South Africa, and Madagascar. Until recently, only about a dozen species were recognized. However, nine new species are about to be added to the list, almost doubling the known members of the family. For the past few years, Academy entomologist Charles Griswold and San Francisco State University graduate student Hannah Wood have been working to document the spiders of Madagascar as part of the Academy’s ongoing arthropod survey of the country. Since the survey was started in 2000, over 2 million arthropod specimens have been processed. Among them, Griswold and Wood noticed a number of tiny Archaeidae spiders that looked suspiciously like new species. Wood conducted molecular and morphological studies and found that nine new species of Assassin spiders were included in the specimens from Madagascar. Surprisingly, the DNA data also revealed that the presence of elongated necks among Archaeidae spiders had evolved at least two separate times. A classic example of convergent evolution, her findings suggest that the need to strike out at prey from a distance encouraged the evolution of extended body parts on more than one occasion.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) Anyone have some Netflix streaming recommendations? The last 2 series I watched on it were Dr Who and Battle Star Gallactica, and both were good. I saw Fathom post about Torchwood (Dr Who spinoff) just was wondering if others have some diamonds in the rough. Is "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret" available? If so, funny.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) Did others not enjoy Goldmember? I know it was the worst of the three Austin Powers movies, but I still found it funny. I was 19 when I saw it in the theater and even then I thought it was complete crap.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:26 PM) They seem to be able to pump out bad movies and yet ones like Arrested Development take forever to get made. Zero hour, Michael.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 12:44 PM) Sounds like a beefed up iWeb but for PC, I like it a lot and a ton of student organizations/start up companies will be looking to use something like this. Since I'm in web development, I definitely think it's something to consider. The beta is free, so I'm going to give it a whirl over a few Coors Lights tonight.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:08 PM) Twitter is a great source of info so we can have discussions other than who to fire and who sucks. Plus it makes sense to have this all in one thread. I'll let you worry about that omni-present post count. Fire Balta.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Jeez, that lineup is deep Minus the whole Delmon Young part. Dude's bad.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 08:46 AM) Or Danks. I REALLY want the Sox to trade Danks.

Well, this should be interesting... http://muse.adobe.com/?trackingid=JAWWD
