Thats an interesting story about Freddy. Its great to have someone say something like that before a game. I bet it made the whole team feel more confident and settle down their nerves.

I wouldnt be a big fan of sending BA to Charlotte. To hear them say theyre gonna bring him up like the did, Garland and Crede, then ship him down after he was improving during last season seems counterproductive.

RIP

I thought I heard that the money was either being carried in a garbage bag or when they confiscated it they put it in a garbage bag. Either way thats a funny sight.

Im an EA man, I just never got into the other games.

I was in a segment on the Connie Chung show during the Bulls first three peat when my brother went to Michael Jordan basketball camp at Elmhurst College. They asked me who I would rather spend a day with, Bill Clinton or Michael Jordan

I think Little papis defense makes up for his offense at least in terms of keeping him in over Cintron, hopefully hes not distracted this year and can improve on his BA

I think Wrigley can be fun if you can take the heat of getting screamed at but the stadium is a dump.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 11:45 PM) A few minutes worth of work and I get a real height for Gio. Somewhere between 5'8" and 5'9" but closer to 5'9". I bought that long sleeve black Sox thermal last week, i thought its what they wore under their jerseys, i didnt know they were used for ST

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 23, 2007 -> 10:29 AM) After 2008. GMs probably have that marked on their calenders.

Isnt Santana a free agent after this year (I think) I would assume he would set the market, and set it very high, probably out of our reach. Man would that be a nice slap in the face to the Cubs though.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 08:23 PM) There is no way that is realistic, Pods would be tagged out there by at least two steps. Actually, hes not sliding at all, hes chasing a routine pop up that he accidently kicked from left field.

Pods wears the long black socks in real life and if wearing the full pants in the picture, are they skimping on the lower tier players

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 04:49 PM) Ok, any lawyers out there wanna field this one? When does the money become the property of the strippers? When he puts the bag on the floor? I think the money belongs to Pacman until he undraws his gun.

I predict a decline on the offense and an incline for the pitching. Bold I know.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) My favorite story was going with a group of people to the Cork and Kerry, none of us are Irish, by the way...and we went with a friend of my wife. Who, just happened to have played basketball at Rice and then in Europe. So, we are in the Cork and Kerry with a 6' 6" black guy. The ONLY black guy in the bar and pretty much the only one we saw while we were down there. The joke was, when any of us went to the bathroom, we had to slam our thumbs in the door...that way, we will all stick out like sore thumbs. But it was a blast and I'm sad I'll miss it again this year. Whoever the aldermen are for those Wards need to make the Monday after a city-wide holiday...just for recovery's sake. If they dont do it for the super bowl theyre not gonna do it for the parade, those communists

This proves my theory. If you are in the NFL and go by a nickname, and you use the first initial of your nickname instead of your first name on your jersey you are trouble. E.G. P. Jones, Tank Johnson, had it been A. Jones and Te. Johnson, they would be upstanding citizens...just a thought.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 01:44 PM) Did it take them that long to realize you had your pants pulled up all of the way, so you couldn't be one of them, or did you just plumbers crack it in order to fit in? See, since it was earlier in the day and we werent cross-eyed yet we observed the situation and adjusted our pants accordingly, those idiots were clueless!

Anybody got any good stories from past years. I think one of the better ones I got is when we were trying to get across the street to get to the more lively side of the parade and ended up walking with a plumbers union for like 20-30 minutes a few years back.

LAS VEGAS -- Police seized $81,020 in cash belonging to Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, which they said sparked a melee and a triple shooting at a strip club over the weekend, court documents show. Jones was showering more than 40 strippers onstage at Minxx Gentlemen's Club & Lounge early Monday with the cash "intended as a visual effect," according to a search warrant. But a scuffle broke out when the Houston promoter who hired the strippers told them to pick the money up. The promoter, identified as Chris Mitchell, owner of "Harlem Knights," and a male associate took a plastic trash bag containing Jones' money and walked out the front door, the warrant says. Police recovered the money and two Breitling watches inside a safe at Mitchell's hotel room Monday morning. Mitchell, according to the warrant, "admits that he took the money in the bag belonging to Jones because he thought it was for the dancers." After Mitchell left the club, "a melee broke out," the warrant says. "Jones became irate about the loss of his money, and the fact that girls were in a frenzy, picking up the money at their feet," the warrant says. Later, a woman identified as a member of Jones' group fought with one of the strippers and security tried to break up the fight, it says. Jones told the guards to back off and reached behind his back "as if he were retrieving a weapon there." Jones' entourage was moved outside, but the woman continued to fight, according to the warrant filed Wednesday in Clark County District Court in Las Vegas. The woman hit a guard in the head with a champagne bottle and "began biting and screaming" when other guards tried to restrain her, the warrant says. Minutes later, a valet told police that he heard shots fired near the front entrance and saw a black man with cornrows in his hair pointing a black semi-automatic handgun, it says. The man then fled. The shots hit a female customer and two guards, one of whom remained in critical condition in a Las Vegas hospital. Aaron Cudworth, the guard hit with the champagne bottle, and the woman were treated and released. Police have described the suspected shooter as last seen wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. As of Thursday morning, police said he was still at large. Jones' lawyer, Worrick Robinson, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Jones did not know anyone involved in the shooting and was interviewed by local authorities as a witness, not as a suspect. Police have not said Jones is a person of interest in the case. Robinson could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday. Jones has faced criminal charges three times since the Titans made the former West Virginia University player the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft -- all involving incidents at nightclubs in Tennessee. The cornerback promised he had seen the inside of a courtroom for the last time Feb. 1, when a judge dismissed an assault charge filed by a woman who claimed Jones spit on her during an October nightclub altercation. Charges in a confrontation with a club manager during a private party in July 2005 also have been dismissed. Jones was ordered to stay out of trouble until July 5 if he wants his criminal record cleared of public intoxication and disorderly conduct charges for an August arrest in the Nashville suburb of Murfreesboro.

Look for me, Ill be the one trying to give beer to the police with no avail because they all already have one.

I have one and havent used it after the first few tries. We have hardwood floors and some rugs laying around and it cant go from floor to rug. The only fun I had with it is using the remote and having it chase my dog. Its absolutely not worth the money (unless you have a curious dog)

This excellent occasion is Sunday March 11th this year and I for one am definitely attending as I have the past few years. All I gotta ask is: "Whos coming with me?"

Id hope if they did experiment with this that they would make the change if it didnt work, or Thome and Konerko will be putting up career lows.
