QUOTE(dasox24 @ Aug 11, 2007 -> 07:16 PM) I mean, how many guys have started as both a pitcher and an OF in the big leagues? There was this one guy.. first name George. Not sure if anyone's heard of him though..

This is a pretty good start to the game.

He's so clutch.

# Chase Utley, Philadelphia Phillies: "Kashmir", Led Zeppelin; "One of These Days", Pink Floyd; We Like to Party, The Vengaboys How do you go from Zeppelin and Floyd to the Vengaboys? I mean, really

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 10:27 AM) I'd like to think Murton is actually obtainable here. The Cubs are really desperate for a sparkplug... He would have to clear waivers up to at least the Sox, which is unlikely.

The Teaches of Peaches - Peaches Yet another song my roommate from last year decided to blast every night he drank (which, mind you, was a lot )

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 09:45 PM) The worst part is that the f***ing lyrics are BURNED into my head. "And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic, but when I say let's keep in touch, I really mean I wish that you'd grow up; this is the first song for your mixtape and its short just like your temper...." Ugh. I'm lucky I don't have that great a memory when it comes to s***ty lyrics, but I know there are some crappy Dave Matthews Bands lyrics still in my head somewhere. I've just tried to blast it out with a steady dose of Frank Zappa, the Beatles, the Doors, and so forth. Oh, and possibly the worst part of living with my roommate's musical taste was that he referred to Dave Matthews Band as 'Dave'. Seriously, what the hell? Maybe it's just me, but thats just annoying.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 09:00 PM) Wow that sucks...I absolutely hate punk, and Brand New is just so annoying. But... Brand New isn't punk...

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 08:22 PM) Replace Dave Matthews Band with Brand New and you've got my situation last year. As much as I hate my roommate from last year, and Dave Matthews Band, I think I feel sorry for you more.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 02:54 PM) I'm not positive, but I think it covers inception of the genre through the Beatles. Sounds about right. I think my class went from the roots of blues and such to Led Zeppelin. It was a lot of fun, but I had a really, really good teacher (took another class with him in the following semester).

Anyone listen to the Raconteurs? I've been listening to them a lot lately, and I must say, they're pretty damn good. They've got a classic feel (sort of like Led Zeppelin), but also mix in a new, indie rock taste. I'm not really one for indie rock bands, but they do a pretty good job of blending the two, and are a good listen. Plus, they've convinced me that Jack White is a musical genius.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 10:36 AM) History of Rock and Roll I took that class last year.. lots of fun. What years does yours cover? We had two different ones, one of which went from beginnings to 1970, and the other which went 1970 to present. I took the first one. QUOTE(Beastly @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 03:00 PM) On Monday, Wednesday, Friday my first class starts at 9:00 and my last class ends at 3:50. On Tuesdays and Thursdays my first class starts at 8:00 and my last class goes till 4:15. So it's not that bad. It doesn't seem bad until you get there and start taking them. If you've got class non-stop on those days, it'll suck (at least, it did for me, and I only had one day where I went 9-4:30, the rest were much nicer ) QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 03:41 PM) I have no idea how you go to college and find the time to post thousands of entries on websites like this. I'm not dissing anyone, just...bewildered. It mostly involves being a slacker, plus doing many things at once. I'd like to think I've done alright so far in college (been through fall, spring, and summer semesters and have a GPA around 3.4/3.5), but I've mostly multi-tasked a s***load and got lucky with other things.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 09:30 PM) Or you'll have a kid on the left of you who plays nothing but Dave Matthews Band and a kid on the right on you who plays crappy rap music (Walk it Out) at odd times of the day (like Saturday morning at 9:00 am -- very pleasant). That kid was my roommate. Needless to say, I have a intense hatred for all things Dave Matthews Band now. I mean, I hated them before, but my hatred now is about tenfold. QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 09:04 PM) There's just something to be said about dorm life. Some aspects of it will suck, but chances are you'll bond with people. Definitely. The dorms were a blast, I made some really good friends there. At the same time though, I'm glad that I'm living in an apartment this year.

Congrats to him. But f*ck Barry.

Overpaid.

Yea, seriously. You'd have thought they'd learn from the Stephen Glass thing..

Heading back to the University of Minnesota on the 20th for my sophomore year, should be rather crappy moving into my apartment (although I plan to recruit a bunch of my friends ). I'm majoring in Sports Management, and I don't think classes start again until the 4th or so. Man, I can't wait to be back in the cities though..

*Great* news. I don't care if it doesn't change anything for the rest of the year, it feels damn good to see a sweep against a team that claims to be one of the best in the majors.

Impressive game thus far for Gavin. Hopefully he can keep it together, it'd be nice to see him develop into a decent major league starter.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 07:50 PM) Everyone who lives here knows people who take that bridge every day. Long night ahead, I'm afraid. Yep, horrible stuff. My neighbor was on University two blocks away when it happened, really lucky she wasn't involved.

When feeling down about the Sox, I just watch the post-05 intro video. It always brings a smile to my face.

I'll miss Mack. I don't care how bad his defense was in CF, I liked him

Whats the word on the guy we got back?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 10:07 AM) And whatever happened to the Muffin Man? Remember him? I always pictured a giant six-foot muffin trying to eat me while I was eating him. It's kind of a fantasy I go to a lot now.
