QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 08:18 AM) I was thinking you did. They have a golf academy down there. They can do a swing analysis and stuff. Not sure if Jim is a great golfer or not, but it's always cool to see your swing on video and in slo-mo. Since you go there anyway, you could surprise him with that for one of the days. Golf gets my vote, but then again this gift isn't for me He's got an 8 hcp.. But that is a very cool idea. It never hurts to improve. Thanks CC. I'll check into that for sure.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 12:17 AM) As a side note, my father, who is way more knowledgable about stadiums than I am, has said that his trip to Pacbell was the best stadium he's every experienced. I'm curious to here if anyone else has been there, and what they have to say about it. Awesome.. on my top 5 easily.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 08:12 AM) Do you go to spring training every year? Already planned that trip.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 09:38 PM) bwahahahaha! Edit to add: Bwahahahahaha LMAO.. that is hysterical! I should get that as a gag. I think I might go back to the sports thing. Maybe get him the orange Bears jersey..

QUOTE(Soxy @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) I usually get my dad some kind of weird sports memorabilia. He loves baseball caps, and after this Christmas I'll have gotten him a hat from all of the Canadian Football league teams. Next I think I'll either try and find Rugby hats or maybe soccer. Or maybe that women's softball league. It's an interesting gift idea, he likes it, and they're generally good conversation starters. I'm looking at that stuff.. trouble is.. he already has a ton of it. He's a Star Trek fan (not a trekkie by any means) but he does like the series with Shatner.. I've been looking for some autographed stuff. Like a cast photo.. but no luck seeing anything I think he'd like.. Any Trek fans have any ideas...?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 09:05 PM) A blow up Jason doll? Uhh.. no. Jim tries to keep his distance from NAMBLA members..

Hey thanks.. Not what I had in mind for him, but the nephews will love them.

So every year I get Jim some off the wall gift... I'm way stuck this year and you guys were right on target with the golf putting green last year.. so I come to you again. Any cool things you guys have on your wish lists this year..?

Link... :rolly

I'm in no way, shape, or form suggesting he's NOT a good guy.. just want to get a perspective from someone without a microphone or tv camera in their face talking about their teammate.

Good grief.. soon the entire Indians squad will have passed through our doors. Also.. I'm gonna get some details on his work ethic, clubhouse persona, etc. just in case this holds some water.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) The masses are asses. That's a good reason. LMAO..

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) Just a little tip, use an S-Video cable, it will give you a lot better video quality, you'll still have to use the red and white for sound.....or you can pick up some Monster AV cables they are a little bit pricey but if you want the best possible DVD burn this will be it. Hehe.. when we bought the monstrosity of a tv we have I bought every kind of those cables I could find.. I got yelled at cause they were so expensive and I, of course, tossed the receipt. Now I can say.. "see.. I knew we'd need them".

QUOTE(Fenway @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 03:04 PM) The Red Sox at least TRY to make Fenway better. They need to try harder then. When we were there in August it was disgusting.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) That's not entirely true...in theory maybe...with no traffic. I live a few minutes from Peoria Sports Complex...and if you don't know any better and take Bell Road out to Surprise...you'll sit in traffic for a good hour to go about 8-10 miles. I guess it all depends where you're coming from and of course where you live. Compared to Florida - which I think is what Jason was doing - it's waaaay better in AZ.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) So instead of "Queen Bee", we could always call you "Soxtalk's Fairy Godmother"..... Or.. b****.

The Fairy Godmother in Shrek 2 was a royal b****.

Yes, I am serious. He specifically mentioned Comerica so I would be inclined to think he was talking about Comerica and not all of Detroit.

QUOTE(timotime @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) you apparently haven't been to detroit in at least 5 years. It's obvious that he has. I go every year as well.. what exactly is your problem with Comerica and the area immediately surrounding the park..?

Wow.. I nominate this thread for '05's biggest twist.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) I try to avoid the latter usage - these days on a par with the word, “stupid” - since it is usually not understood to ever mean “uninformed,” hence tends to be inflammatory. Unless your told the context but choose to ignore it..

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) Judge and condemn as you want to be judged and condemned...God also gave me a brain. (believe it or not, jackasses ) I'm definitely judged and condemned quite often here, but I ask for it. Just not from you steff.... Would I ever do such a thing... chip, chip.. Don't you go changin PA... I love ya just the waaaaaayy you are..

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 12:04 PM) That would be HUGE. I want to stay Steff disputed that though. Oh no.. it's true that holders have always gotten the opportunity in the past to buy extras.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 12:02 PM) I could be wrong, and another season ticket veteran could tell you for sure, but im almost positive that with split season tickets, you get an order form about 3 weeks before single game tickets go on sale, so you can get them for sure. We have purchased the weekend plan, and a big selling point was that we can still pretty much be guarenteed to get Opening day, Cards, and NYY tickets. That's the $10,000 question right now.. with so many new ticket holders, right now there is no guarantee on extras. If any are avaliable it looks like seniority will play a role in who gets to order extras until they run out.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) I think the interpretation can go either way When someone says "I can swear she is.. " sounds like they can swear she is..
