Oh yeah, speculation is dumb, I just thought the three way between the Hawks/Panthers/Isles could get done. Sell the damn farm, and get one of Sharp/Steeger out and bring in Vokoun. Trade the picks you need to get rid of Huet and give this team the stud netminder it needs for a Cup run.

OMFG... the PA in this game just announced "Visit us on [date] to celebrate mark buehrle's perfect game against the tampa bay rays on [date]. There are traditions, and then there are White Sox traditions."

It's like real life, only you are in control. Beckham is gorgeous, and Peavy is dreamy. I played exhibition in Target Field. It's like facing hte real players, and playing in Minnesota will no longer suck and be ugly.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) Looks like my copy of The Show will be arriving tomorrow. Definitely looking forward to it. It is fan f***in tastic.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 07:57 PM) Update: Just got off the phone with a Sony rep, the stadiums aren't obtainable at the moment with pre-orders. ...annoying. I had the same issue with my DLC for Heavy Rain. Patience.

This performance by our goaltenders could not have come at a better time. Stan... your hand has been forced.

Nick Boynton to the Blackhawks! I love Nick Boynton! per Pagnotta's Twitter He's been assigned to Rockford so his contract (2.95 mill) won't hurt us, I guess the Hawks really plan to be movers tomorrow.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) From Scott Merkin: We could sure use a DH!

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Mar 1, 2010 -> 08:52 PM) I'm hooked on this show. I can see how people aren't that into it since it's a bit of a slow build, but I don't mind it. It makes it feel a bit more legit. I like it as well.

Gordon Beckham isn't being traded.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 04:09 PM) The Sox aren't going to pay Gordon Beckham $1.75M over his final 2 pre-arb seasons, he'll be lucky to get $1.1M. The only way he gets any more than that is if he signs a long term deal. Which the White Sox better make sure happens.

I guess I'm going to need to swing by the LS and grab a sixer for this evening. Work is going to suck tomorrow with so little sleep.

The Nationals will do the predictable thing and keep Strasburg in the minors to start the season to give his arb clock a later start, thus telling their fans that winning still matters not. In other news, the sky is blue.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) Looks like Cow-hide is the only one who has updated his status. I'm surprised to see that the Sun Times would pay and let Joe Cowley represent them yet allow him to throw the term "rape" around as a joke. I don't care about Soxtalk vs Cowley, but this guy really seems like a 16 year old poster on some s***ty message board. I hope he's loving it up right now, because he's in big trouble of hurting his reputation (what little one he has left) so much so that when the Sun Times finally does go under he will be looking for work for a long time.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 1, 2010 -> 07:43 PM) At least I was right on the Thunder, although I said they'd win 35 games, and they've already won 35 games. I'd say that makes you wrong on the Thunder.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 03:32 PM) Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll be getting the game today, f***ing Amazon. Got this email from them this morning: 2 hours later (like 5:30 AM) they said it was being shipped. Checked the status on their site and it says it's being prepared for shipping with an estimated delivery date of today. I assume I'll get it tomorrow, though for all I know it's sitting on my doorstep right now, won't know until I get home. f***ing bummer that I'll likely have to wait a minimum of 1 more day to play it, apparently they ran out of inventory, guess I should have pre-ordered it sooner. You've come a long way from when you told me you probably weren't buying this bad boy. The hype-machine rocks! I have it sitting on my desk next to me since I picked up my pre-order from Gamestop on the lunch break. It seems that this game is going to be masterful.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 02:05 PM) I just wait for the insecure guys who think a bat is going to fix their game to go out and waste a few hundred bucks on bats. Then I use theirs. Bats actually can make a huge difference. My team was using some cheap old bats, then my buddy and I went out and got a real nice one and the ball went a lot farther.

It's stories like this that make me sad about the human life span.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Good showing for the The Show so far. No surprise. It seems the greatest baseball game (and possibly sports game) of all-time has been created.

for Madden, we had a thread specifically for the franchise is a different forum. im sure we couldnt get that on soxtalk, but perhaps we should have a dedicated thread.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) Good. Wolves games just became more enjoyable for me again. Ugly player in an ugly uniform. Suits him perfectly. Don't hold your breath... the Thrashers are the parent club of the Wolves, and he's been re-assigned so he's not done yet.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) 3 runs 3 hits and 3 walks for Cabrera in 1 inning of work.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 12:16 PM) Chicago knows the window for winning titles might be short. They are going to do everything they can to get a goalie here this year. Though this will probably be the BEST team, the window is not short with Kane/Toews/Keith/Hossa locked up.
