QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 04:48 PM) I dunno, I think it's a stretch to say that 'roids will move you from AAA to first-ballot HOF. NO way to know. He's a cheat who didn't give a s*** and kept on cheatin' on... forget about him. He's a POS who could swing a bat and made millions doing it. Nothing more, nothing less, and definitely not HOF worthy.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) Steve failed on every level last year. LeBron and Manny.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 03:57 PM) So Peter Gammons overreacted to how good Manny looked in the spring? Shocking! I'm sure he looked great given the steroids.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) This probably means he was juicing with us, btw. I don't recognize Manny's tenure on the South Side.

A great line from Bill Simmon's column posted today. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...mp;sportCat=nba Lots of Bulls, obviously.

Sorry, I posted this in the other thread because it's not White Sox news... you can delete or merge my thread.

Supposedly he got dinged by MLB's drug program again... steroids. And retired. According to NESN of course.

Watching mlb.tv... NESN just broke in and said Manny Ramirez has retired.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) I have no problem whatsoever with stat heads but if you're not going to watch these games and expect me to respect you as a basketball mind, you got another thing coming. Cough, Zoomslowik, cough.

Ok, the quality is amazing. This is nuts. It's jizz city. I can select any of 4 audios to go with the games. TV Announcer Homer, Radio Announcer Home, TV Announcer Away, Radio Announcer away. I can single, dual, or quad box this s***. I can set my fantasy players so it tells me when one of my players is up... switch the game. AWESOME.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) ever notice that his bat is way too big for him? Do little league bats come in anything other than aluminum? That's probably the problem.

Someone tell me... is it full HD? Would it look great on my 46"?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:47 AM) After two seconds of research, it was easy to see that you only looked at total numbers. I'm talking about how he performs against lefties, and he hits them very well. After two seconds of research, it was easy to see that you had only looked at Juan Pierre's handedness. I'm talking about how he performs against lefties, and he hits them very well.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:38 AM) Definitely for Pierre. Drugs are bad. Looking at stats is good.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:43 AM) Man, we have such different tastes when it comes to entertainment. I didn't say I love the dude, but yeah. We also have different tastes when it comes to enjoying winning baseball, so there's that, too!

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:17 AM) Wasn't there a person shot just a couple of years ago right near Wrigley Field? What about the Dodgers catcher that had his hat stolen? What about the fan that charged Bob Howry at Wrigley in 2007? Or the fan that attacked Randy Myers in 1995? Amazing how all these incidents are forgotten. Amazing, yet expected.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:06 AM) I don't know anybody who does. I find him to be rather funny.

I learned last year not to doubt the Celtics based on regular season play.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 06:49 PM) One of my favorite shows I ever saw was Elton and Billy Joel playing together. Awesome. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) I saw them at Wrigley, it was a great show. At least one of them was on the stage for like 3.5 hours straight. And the people watching was nearly worth the price of admission as well. I, too, saw this show. My old man was obsessed with Elton John (likes of "Rocket Man", "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", etc) so I grew up with a lot of that music. The performance of "Funeral for a Friend" with Elton and BJ was something that will be remembered for a long time. Likewise, my mother-in-law raised my wife and her sister on Billy Joel. Myself, my wife, sis in law, mother in law, and her boyfriend all went and had a damn good time, even if it was in that dump.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 06:10 PM) It's not just that. Most of the stores have rules against using a ton of coupons per purchase or making dozens of separate purchases. They're actively waiving their own coupon rules for the publicity from the show. Well, no they aren't. Did you watch an episode? These fat morons are calling in their hillbilly friends to count as extra transactions.

Bulls dominating.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 06:16 PM) I could see both sides honestly. J4L hates on Jackson more than the average non-Jackson supporter. It seems to me, and apparently SoxBadger that unless Jackson goes undefeated in a playoff run to the WS, wins Cy Young, and WS MVP while Dan Hudson tears his arm off, Jackson will never be the better option over keeping Hudson. I have agreed to disagree awhile ago, but that's how it comes off to some posters. Yup. It's pretty clear that Hudson has been anointed Jesus Christ status by some around here because he managed 11 solid starts in the NL with a .241 BABIP.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) Yeah, but how much did the SAVE?! I wanted to check this out because my wife and I use a handful of coupons and save about 10 bucks. I want to know how they're buying all that food for a buck. One of the commercials the chick was paid for her groceries, which made no sense. She was getting crap she didn't want just to get "-$1.00" on each purchase. Wasteful and the definition of bad Americana.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:07 PM) Anyone else watch "Extreme Couponers" on TLC? Two things I've noticed about the people on the show. One, they have extreme OCD over coupons and keeping a constant supply of groceries in their house. Two, they don't have jobs. Mostly because they spend so much time on their coupons and shopping. I can't imagine spending that many hours each day cutting coupons and then going to the store 3 and 4 times a week for hours at a time. My wife and I use coupons but the most I think we saved on one shopping trip was around $60. We still usually end up spending $200+ for 2 weeks of groceries. These people are buying $600+ worth of groceries and paying like $10. They must have better grocery stores and better coupons. Sadly, I tuned in because, well, my wife likes bad reality television. The inexcusably obese couple with a grocery store's worth of junk food hoarded was hilarious. Getting ready for a "party" with string cheese and antacids. Good times. It's an obsession, and those fat f***s are wasting people's time and resources. If they went straight to donation after that I'd respect them, but they are just stock-piling junk food and getting even fatter. That huge b**** was 24. TWENTY FOUR. She looked 40.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:15 PM) I'm so pumped for today's Celtics Bulls game This.
