QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 12:07 PM) We need both games because we have a tough schedule ahead...if we end up over .500 starting May, I'll be impressed. It's way too early to bust that stuff out. Everyone realizes we have 159 games remaining right? Even the best teams of all time lose a decent amount.

For one series, TCQ was back.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 01:05 PM) People dont even read the articles that they post these days, they just grab the sensational headline and assume that the article will actually support their factually incorrect position. Unfortunately for them, even the most dishonest headline, contains facts: So everyone has been b****ing and moaning about the Ivory Coast and that we should get involved, but lets look at the article: Oh wait, it was the forces of the guy you want us to support, who killed the majority of those people. Interesting, you want us to intervene in the Ivory Coast against Gbago in support of Ouattara, while Outtara slaughters people. Or are you saying that we should put US troops on the ground and fight both sides of the conflict, that would end as well as Vietnam. Maybe instead of parroting newspapers and blogs, its time to think for ourselves. sb 4 prez Seriously, Brian, you are fighting a battle of politics on a baseball board where no matter how right you are folks hiding behind PCs can post counter arguments or ignore the facts. Your life would be better spent not succumbing to political discussion on Soxtalk. There is absolutely no reward for it!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 06:44 AM) USA Today salary numbers are out. Imagine how popular this division would be if ESPN were located in the Midwest.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 07:49 AM) You know, if the White Sox signed a free agent to a $140 million deal, and on the 3rd day of the season he was hitting 7th...I'd either be really, really impressed by our lineup, or really annoyed with that player. Hm, seems ass-backwards to me. I'd be annoyed with the manager who hit him 7th after two subpar games. It's f***ing baseball.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 07:59 AM) I am planning on selling an old van to a friend. On the back of the title, there is a spot where we can transfer ownership to another person. Is that all that needs to be done or do I need to somehow notify the state or send them some kind of information? That depends on how much you trust the friend. Really, your role is over once signed over, but you want to make sure he goes down to DMV, pays for the registration change and all that, and doesn't try to kill the President from your vehicle prior to ownership change.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 10:44 AM) For the record, David Palmer is a character in 24. Dennis Haysbert is his actual name. David Palmer transcends Dennis Haysbert.

I think I am going to love this movie. I guess people have been surprised by the amount of violence in it, too. It looks quite awesome.

Demolition Man was on AMC this weekend... never get tired of it.

Somewhere, Marko shed a tear.

For the record, I always knew David Palmer and Pedro Cerrano were one and the same because of my awesome ability to see things with my eyes.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 08:22 AM) Caught the premiere of The Killing last night. In my opinion, it was one of the best starts to a new show in a long time. I hope it stays this good. I agree. It's completely original, and I was disappointed that the episode had to end. I am already hooked.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 11:16 PM) So is Carmelo Anthony overrated or the package the Nuggets got back underrated? The Knicks are 9-12 since the trade and the Nuggets are 15-4. I get that the Knicks dealt whatever depth they had in that deal, but I've never really felt that Carmelo was one of the better players in the game. He just seems to be all name and just a little game. Well, two things. Carmelo is solid but the team around he and Amare' is atrocious. Also, Amare' and Melo as a combination is a joke and a defensive liability. Secondly, the Nuggets were a decent team around Carmelo that played defense, and they did add legit players and had a budding PG waiting for Chauncey to be dealt in Ty Lawson.

I abhor off-days.

Gimme some Jake Peavy!

If the Cubs got their game in yesterday then the Sox will play today.

QUOTE (hawksfan61 @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) I would much rather play Vancouver than Detroit in the first round. Vancouver is dealing with a lot of injury issues on the blueline and also lost Malhotra for the season. A Hawks Nucks matchup in the first round has the stink of upset all over it. Hawks are 3-1 vs Wings this year... just saying.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 31, 2011 -> 07:43 PM) Makes it look like same move but moved to Thailand. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised. You'd think they'd have tried to make it a bit different, jesus, way to make something awesome seem annoying now.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 12:23 AM) Gotta clobber Fausto's weak s***. He can't strike anybody out, son. True, but we are notoriously bad against sinkerballers. However, Adam Dunn is amazing against sinkerballers.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 31, 2011 -> 09:41 PM) Can't wait. I bought 3 40 ounce Mickeys and a jumbo sized bag of Doritoes for this joyous occasion. Ha, that's tight.

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Apr 1, 2011 -> 08:56 AM) It makes me nervous to hear those guys risking their arms throwing anything but baseballs. Please be careful! I was all for Mark tarp diving, but take it easy with the arms! I love this kind of stuff, honestly. I'd like to see as much as I can because I think we have some great personalities on this team and I like my players having personalities. I also love the snowball remnants on the side of Sergio's head!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 31, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) Yeah, the first round picks have been better. It doesn't get much worse than Josh Fields, Brian Anderson, Lance Broadway and Kyle McCulloch. So there was nowhere to go but up. But the draft doesn't end after the first round. Guys like Mike Stanton, Matt Kemp, Brian McCann, Hunter Pence and Ian Kinsler were not first-round picks. Obviously in a 50-round draft you're going to miss on a lot more picks than you hit on, but you can't just say, "Well, our first round picks don't suck" and call it a day. Joe Borchard
