QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) another cheap shot.... Look you guys can come out and say whatever about me...i'm pretty tough. it just hurts when i see you guys take it out on the other sox fans that is illnatured. and at best there is really no need for it at all. i think that TLAK was inappropriate with the EVIL remark and that should be reconsidered. thats all. no need for the verbal slams anymore for gosh sakes. no matter what we wont all agree on anything perhaps other than we are CHICAGO WHITESOX FANS. and happy ones at that. You need to lift some heavier weights kiddo..

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) First of all, there's no need to be condescending. Second of all, first you stated that it couldn't be C's father because it needed to be a main character. Now you have suddenly changed it to it having to be an actual cast member (i.e. actor). You have not been "trying to tell me that all along." Thirdly, I have said that it's probably not C's father just that I would think it'd be cool. My earlier "book it" statement was tounge-in-cheek. Lastly, it's pointless to argue over this. We'll just wait and see next week. First, apparently I did. Second, I did say main, and I corrected myself. And I did not say the bold text above so don't put words in my mouth. Third, don't hurt yourself. Last.. who's arguing? We were having an intelligent conversation until you decided to come in and stick your tongue in your cheek... I'm sure the discussion will go on without you.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) From my understanding, there is no genetic link to alcoholism. How many alcoholics had parents who either drank or were alcoholics? Do you honestly believe if someone who supposley has alcoholism in his or her genes would become an alcoholic if they were never around the s***? From my experience.. that is incorrect. The gene present increases the odds of becomming an abuser. If I had to guess.. I would say the % of alcoholics who had parents who were is pretty close to 100% No, if you never touched it, you wouldn't become an alcoholic. But if you did, your chances are greater that you would.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) Its a strange, strange world, beyond reality. Hmmm.. trying to remember.. something about stones and glass houses...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) Yes, but apparently the best team in the MLB THIS year, cant touch the Blue Jays of NEXT year. Good grief.. let the guy live in his world in peace.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) That would be last year's team. The 2005 season is over and done with, and therefore, it's last year's team. Right? Hmm... is this thing on... tap, tap... I'll elaborate a bit more. It's still '05 and it's obvious (apparently, possibly, maybe only to me... ) that he's talking about this years team which, IMO... would be the one that played in '05 and just won the series.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) Please elaborate. What exactly did Ryan Murphy or any of the actors claim that would rule out the possibility of someone like Christian's father? And, remember, it's not necessarily a main character, just someone we know. It's a cast member. They have been clear about that since the Carver storyline was introduced as season 3's main line. I'm sorry if you can't comprehend that... I've done all I can to help you with it. I'm done.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) This year's White Sox team with no moves would be the same as last year's team. God damn, if you don't become a brain surgeon, you will have missed your true calling. It's still '05 and it's obvious he's referring to the team that just won the WS. I really don't think there's a need to be ignorant about his opinion.. no matter how silly it sounds.

Yet the creator of the show and all the actors interviewed claim differently.. :rolly

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1102552...18|1_0_,00.html That's the EW interview, and there's nothing about it being a main character. It's just "someone we know." Well, we know who Christian's dad is (at least a little). However, his dad probably isn't the carver, but I think it'd be an awesome twist if it was. We do.. really..? Who is he? When was he introduced? Who plays him..?? :headshake It's a cast member.. he isn't a cast member. I used the phrase "main character", not Ryan Murphy.

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) we are the murder she wrote of Soxtalk... the miami vice, the nightrider, the baywatch nights... we solve cases baby... its what we do. I have to say.. it's going to kind of suck when this is over. This is the most I have been involved in a storyline since The Soprano's season 3..

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) Where? * Series creator Ryan Murphy has said.... The same interview was in Entertainment Weekly and TVGuide.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 03:59 PM) Actually, rumor has it that Ryan Murphy supposedly said this, but I can't find that actual quote anywhere nor have I ever seen it substantiated. All I know is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carver And Merril Bobolit (sp?) is far from a main character. Rumor has it... he's quoted. Re: Bobolit, fair enough.. but he's someone a fan of the show knows, and with a concrete axe to grind with Christian & Kimber. Far from Christian's father.. who's never been introduced. Book that. :rolly

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) You know what? f*** this guy. You have an opportunity to play professional baseball for a living, coming from virtually nothing, and you piss it all away with drinking problems. These guys don't belong in professional sports. I hope he doesn't catch on anywhere. Just want to correct this.. Sidney's family is among one of the riches in Aruba. He did.. and I stress the word "did" play for the love of the game for a long time. Sadly.. some demons jolted his path.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) Until next week, we don't know. It just seems to me that all the main characters (Sean, Christian, Julia, Matt, Liz, Quentin, etc.) have all been ruled out. The Carver is supposedly someone were kind of familiar with, and Christian's mom says that he supposedly looks exactly like his dad. We're obviously familiar with Christian, so if he and his dad look alike it could be possible. The Carver is a sadistic rapist, as was Christian's father, plus he was never caught back then. It all adds up IMO. The Carver is a main cast member. Since Christian's dad has never been introduced, it can't be him.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) *possible spoilers* The Carver is Christian's dad. Book it. Unless his dad is Sean or Bobolit, you are wrong.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) I think the proper response wouldve been something more politically correct or constructive?! Come on JimH bashing your fellow fans this harshly hurts & is uncalled for! By calling my statement the top 10 dumbest statements you are in fact calling me dumb or at least in the top 10 dumbbutts. I havent even met you bro.... Come on Jason... This is not cool at all! He called your statement dumb... Jim's never far off the mark.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 01:26 PM) "This handheld, portable radio lets you listen and record your favorite Sirius radio programs on the go. You can even download your favorite MP3s for even more listening enjoyment." If this doesn't get the signal on the go, this is false advertising. If you can get a definite answer on this thing please post it.. I'm getting pissed at these idiots that work at BB, and CC..

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) Oh, it doesn't get the signal unless its plugged in or something? That is dumb. I'm not an mp3 person, so this would be of no interest to me, especially at this price. That's what I am trying to find out. No one can tell me if it's portable like XM.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) This says portable.... Linky Yes.. and my cd player is portable also.. but it doesn't receive radio transmissions.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Steff, Stern showed the portable unit last night. It looks like an ipod. It can store hours of Sirius programming, and its an MP3 player. That's all I know. And I'm telling you I have been on the phone with Sirius and every electronics source all morning looking to buy it. They are telling me that it's not portable. It's recordable...

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) I think he's worth a minor league shot. He's not.
