If I could recommend something to whomever set up the ads, make sure you add the "target=blank" tag to the ad link (a href) so it opens in a new tab/window vs taking the user away from soxtalk.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:41 PM) Not good Gordon http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=6752562 I'm sick of this s***. That's funny. But yeah, how dumb do you have to be to do that in such a public forum. I both hate and love Gordon for doing this. If only his offensive abilities could rival his comedic abilities.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:24 PM) Sometimes a manager just needs to move on because, as noted above, the players just aren't responding the way you'd hope. You could always start with the f***ing hitting coach, too.

Did soxtalk just go super weird for anyone else?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:59 PM) I created Jurassic Carl! I then put it on a sig for a poster with a bunch of numbers in his name. Sadly, I cannot find my Jurassic Carl image. I made the sig for SoxFan562004, but it seems to have been removed by imageshack finally. f***. The source file is on some macintosh at the company I worked at prior to my current position.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) Someone had a Carl Everett/Dinosaur sig here that I really enjoyed. I created Jurassic Carl! I then put it on a sig for a poster with a bunch of numbers in his name. Sadly, I cannot find my Jurassic Carl image.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) I bet they trade Stalberg. I don't think he really fits anywhere right now on this team. Maybe some sorta package deal. It depends. I'd really hoped they'd re-up Frolik quickly, but that's taking longer than expected.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) Well that and they got absolutely hosed in that trade. Yeah, clearly Versteeg is sticking everywhere he lands! In all seriousness, come on yo, it was clearly a salary dump so getting "hosed" really doesn't count.

The best thing about today (since work has no power, house has no power, and im stuck working wifi in a public spot) is the resurrection of that sig, Marko.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) As I told Zoom if he can get it off the ground Ill take Wisconsin. If there's actual hope of a real league lasting, I'd join and take NIU!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) How about using your phone for free? The GPS on the Evo is money.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) Stalberg signed a new deal with the Hawks. 2 years, $875,000 hit per. That's dirt cheap.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) So, a free agent manager gets a call from Williams, and he then calls Guillen to let him know? I'm not buying. There's no way that is true, because Ozzie would already have tweeted and lost his s*** in an interview by now if he knew he was out the door.

Has there been an announcement on who's being called up? Is it T-Flow time? That .868 OPS in Charlotte suggests he could be somewhat useful with the bat if called up, but he probably wouldn't play much with AJ hitting well.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 08:40 AM) I would like to know said tip, because Ive got that awful slice with my driver. Iron shots are pretty good actually, but man I lose 50+ yards every time I hit a driver just from lack of top spin, not to mention the farther distance to the right. Grab your driver. This tip actually helps all shots straighten out. In your normal position as if a ball is on the tee, release your trailing arm and let it fall naturally to your side. If it comes back to your body, you're doing it wrong. Raise your lead shoulder until your right hand (in a right handed swing) naturally falls straight back (from the ball)and not towards your body. Once you do that, keep your shoulder in said position and let it rip.

So I am checking out Google+, and I certainly hope it takes off because I greatly prefer it to Facebook.

As someone who is really taking golf seriously for the first time in my life, I tought a thread like this would be sweet. I finally received the best golf tip ever from a buddy last year, and it has completely eradicated my debilitating slice. So much so that I've been making pars and having birdie attempts with regularity. This, this is a great turn of events. Anyway, I found a sweet Android app (Golfshot GPS), that for $29.99 really does work as well as a $300 SkyCaddy. Anyone in the West Suburbs who wants to play a round, the Village Links of Glen Ellyn has $8 twilight golf, which is by far the cheapest and best value I've found in Chicagoland.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 04:57 PM) As someone who dates a very funny woman, i quite liked seeing them in a role more than props to get f***ed over (in every way) by doofus male characters, or the "men are stupid, women comment on it" roles. I hope we do see more films like this. You are echoing my comments from a month or two ago. I could not agree more.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:00 PM) Loved Horrible Bosses. The comedy flows and sounds naturally and the cast was great. It's vulgar at times but not shoved in your face and down your throat like Bad Teacher felt. Yes, Horrible Bosses is the comedy of the year. It did not disappoint.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 09:35 AM) Good call on waiting. That food poisoning could make for a nasty make out session. Yeah, that would be much less hot.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 07:47 AM) Big Brother spoiler I don't see how that's possible, unless he hit someone. The live vote off isn't until Sunday. EDIT: nevermind, you are correct.

Seriously. Scott Baker isn't pitching, so this dude is taking the mound against us to cap off a sweep, presumably. If you ever wanted to see a no-hitter in person (or maybe even a perfecto), I'm sure there are still plenty of good seats available for the Sox game Sunday!

Katy Perry concert was postponed until August due to food poisoning. Now I have to wait another month and a half to get her and my wife to make out.
