QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 10:44 AM) Lol, he turned into Sean Connery, 'You baaahstaaahd!'...he was awful. The little girl gave the best performance, she looked genuinely scared to death. I thought the woman with the jaw thing was the best.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 06:44 AM) I always liked the one you made for her the most Steve. So did I.. but there wa a "buzz" that "some" found it "offensive".. :rolly ... so I asked GM to change it.

QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) I agree. Why force people to change avatars because some people are oversensitive? Everyone makes concessions in life.. I guess it's just a matter of picking the battles to fight in.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 08:57 AM) Finally got around to renting 'Saw'. Man, this film had potential and really good ideas, but it was hurt by some really bad acting. The guy who played the Dr. was just awful, everyone else was mediocre. I'm gonna watch it again tonight, there is a glitch or two in the plot somewhere. We watched it Friday night.. LOVED it. I don't want to post any spoilers.. but I knew it wasn't who they wanted you to believe it was from early on. And I knew that kid was a liar from the start.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 09:25 AM) To be a closer community, we need to discuss more than just baseball or more than just sports. Considering how popular this forum is, I'd say it's obvious that we do just that.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 08:53 AM) Since we have moved towards what is and isn't allowed. Let me throw this log on the fire. In the discussion as to what is and isn't allowed, consideration is given to our current members *and* visitors who may drop by, read a few posts, and are deciding to stay and become regular contributors. Where/when did it move there...?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 08:17 AM) lol, see I know I'm right if Steff gets anywhere close to my opinion Even a broken clock is right twice a day PA..

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 12:42 AM) I have never seen someone get so whiny about politics on a f***ing baseball message board. :headshake Oh.. there's a couple banned posters that PA couldn't hold a candle to in the b****ing and whining department. One, IIRC, is directly responsible for the "no gay talk" rule...

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 20, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) For once I agree with ya.. I don't care if willie hit .400 in the minors.. that doesn't mean squat until you hit in the majors which Pods has done. Which is the point I tried to make to Kenny at last years Sox fest.. :banghead

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 07:16 AM) So has Carl Everett. But he did have a ton of fat on him. His gut was at least 50+ inches. At Soxfest he claimed he was down to a 38 inch waist.

Happy Birthday Steve-O..

QUOTE(shagar69 @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 04:36 PM) yea, but i think that was just a shot back at those who were dissin him for not winning at the AMA's. Well.. maybe if he had acted like a human being instead of a 2 year old crying about not winning and saying that those that won over him sucked he might have not needed to retalliate. No big deal.. Good for him that he's overcome the bad things that have happened to him. Hopefully he stays on the right path.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) There is not a whole lot of difference...obviously, there is a difference, but consider that one is when Frank is about 21 or so, and the other is in his mid to late 30s. Frank Thomas has constantly said he would be very willing to take a urine test, and that he has been for steroid testing from the beginning. To be a tight end at one of the more prolific colleges in college football, you have to be decent sized. If Thomas was mentioned with steroids, as in he took them...I would laugh...because there is no way it's true. His families medical issue are on his side as well. Can't be a bone marrow doner if your taking 'roids..

Are you and Miss PA officially engaged yet...???

QUOTE(shagar69 @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) ok, i understand why you might not like those lyrics. But check out songs like Never Let Me Down. In it, he talks about how his grandpa used to take his mom to sit ins against racism and how she was arrested. You have to admit that most rappers do not even go near things like that My problem with him is his attitude.. one minute singing about the holy one..the next saying crap like "you don't have to worry about what I would have done had I not won"..

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 01:59 PM) And also, since its really a Catholic saint day, shouldn't we more accurately reflect the intentions of the Catholic Church and celebrate it with 8 year old boys? /1waytickettohell Shouldn't that be 14 to 16 year old boys...? Make that 2 tickets please..

Hmm.. yea. I can think of a bigger one.. Might be the same one Show is thinking of..

We just sorted up our tickets over the weekend and we're in for 49 games as of right now.

http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/02/11/news/HIV.html Doctors discover new HIV strain By Marc Santora and Lawrence K. Altman The New York Times Saturday, February 12, 2005 Virus is resistant to nearly all drugs A previously unknown strain of HIV that is highly resistant to virtually all known drugs and appears to lead to the rapid onset of AIDS was detected in a man last week, New York health officials said Friday. . While the extent of the spread of the disease is unknown, officials said the situation was alarming. . "We consider this a major potential problem," said Dr. Thomas Frieden, commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The department issued an alert to all hospitals and doctors in the city to be on the lookout for the new strain. . The virus was found in a New York City man in his mid-40s who engaged in unprotected anal sex with other men on multiple occasions while he was using crystal methamphetamine. . While HIV strains that are resistant to some drug treatments have been on the rise in recent years throughout the United States, city officials said this case was unique and worrisome for several reasons. . First, they said, the strain of the disease was resistant to three of the four classes of drugs used to treat HIV from the moment the patient got sick. Typically, drug resistance comes after a patient is treated with retroviral drugs, often because they go off the prescribed course. And, more often than not, a person is only resistant to one or two classes of drugs. . But the resistance comes in combination with its rapid transformation into AIDS. Each of those things has been seen before, but never together. . In this case, the patient developed AIDS from 2 to 10 months after being infected. Usually, it takes 10 years for the average person infected with HIV to develop AIDS. . At a news conference at New York's health department, where Frieden was joined by nearly a dozen doctors and community leaders, several people recalled having that same worried feeling they had more than two decades ago, when AIDS first started appearing. . The city has been in close contact with the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. . More tests need to be completed before it is clear if any combination of drugs can work on this strain of the virus. But given what they know now, Frieden said treatment would be extremely difficult. . From the moment the health department learned about this case a week ago, they have been studying complex laboratory tests to figure out what exactly they had on their hands as well as trying to figure out the man's sexual history. . Health officials would not go into detail about how many people the man may have had sex with, but they have several investigators trying to track down partners. The man took an HIV test in May 2003 and was negative, health officials said. Investigators believe he contracted HIV in October of 2004, when he engaged in unprotected anal sex with multiple partners while using crystal methamphetamine. The man found some of his partners on the Internet, officials said. . Frieden said that the most likely scenario was that the man had sex with someone who had AIDS and had already developed a resistance to drugs. "Whoever gave it to him most likely did not have sex only with him," Frieden said. . . See more of the world that matters - click here for home delivery of the International Herald Tribune. .

The AIDS virus is 16 times smaller than the herpes virus...

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 09:13 AM) My favorite part was her brushing her hair in the mirror. What was that a frickin' soap opera??! When is it not a soap opera with her..

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 08:42 AM) That J-Lo/Marc Anthony performance has to be the cheesiest, crap I've ever seen. No kidding. It sucked bad. First.. whoever advised them that singing in spanish on an American awards show was a good idea should be fired.. and second.. if they're going to perform together they should practice their body language. He kept trying to hold her hand and touch her and she pulled away from him at least 4 times. I was LMAO. They'll be divorced before '05 is over.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Feb 12, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) IIRC, Davey left as a free agent at the end of the '97 season and, from what he said, the White Flag Trade had a lot to do with his decision.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) I wonder if this means they are planning to renovate the Cell to hold banquet halls so that they can hold the reception there as well. If they do that they could open the cell for holiday parties as well. People have been having wedding ceremonies & receptions in the Stadium Club for years.. the only new thing is getting married on the field.

I wonder if that Jerry Reinsdorf Bot will be coming back as well. Oh.. the "chat" is working just fine...
