QUOTE(TheDybber @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) Winning breeds chemistry. Losing destroys chemistry. Let's see how the first couple of months play out before we compare them to the 2000 Sox. Absolutely! Well put.

I have to plan a bachelor party trip to Vegas for next spring and I was thinking about the Rio. It seems to be the best deal for what you get - a couch and fridge in every room, 5 pools, spas, etc. Sure, there are cheaper rooms on the strip, but they don't seem to have the amenities that the Rio does. I've stayed at Bally's and a few other places on the strip, but their prices have really skyrocketed in recent years. Any thoughts?

Thank you. Excellent article. Yes, I did miss it on page 23. I quit reading that at around 19.

Chcago Tribune Long story, sorry.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 10:00 AM) I see the green.. and I can appreciate it... But... I'm getting sick and tired of this lame ass argument. My lame ass arguement about you being a b****? Seriously, though, I hear you 100%. I mean, come on, the Sox do everything they can beside have free days to get people to the park. Do people honestly believe that they aren't making an effort with all the giveaways, promotional days, ad campaigns?

Steff, quit being such a b****!

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) I'm SO confused. What's "contusion" mean, again?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 06:58 AM) I've also heard they are great for autographs and free baseballs from players You sad little man! :headshake

I wish I would have known that at his age!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) My 5-year old boy has simultaneously entered his superhero phase and his penis phase, and it's made for some fine entertainment. He and his older sister were playing superheroes the other day and he just out of the blue blurts out "The power of the universe is in my penis!" Needless to say, my wife assumes this is all my fault somehow... Nice!

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) My sister was driving down the road one day and somebody was moving too slow in front of her. Suddenly, from the backseat her 2 year old daughter yells out "GO b**** GO!!!". My wifes family are all BIG lovers of cards and gambling. My daughter, who is 7, is more adapt at blackjack, poker, 31, and dice games than she is at Candyland. The other night we were all playing, my daughter rolled the dice and got a bad score in which she had to pay a dime to my wife. My wife thanked her, and my daughter said "don't thank me, thank the dice". I'm starting to think we might be goofing up with our parenting skills. But then again, my wife has always played cards and such, and she actually turned out fine. VERY close family. But yeah, it's easy to goof up now and then, isn't it? Shows you have watched for years take on a whole new light when you are with a wee one. Ever watched Friends with your kids? Yeah, you'll be changing the channels REAL fast with that one! Never was a big Friends fan. I guess you have to actually have Friends. I watch a lot of poker with her. As "sinful" as that is - it's clean.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 02:58 PM) I don't know if they were out there today, but there were out there at the end of last week. I don't go that way. Huh. Could be crap.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) Speaking of Chicago movies, anyone know what is being shot right now around Wabash/VanBurean/Jackson right now? Right now? This moment?

The only problem I forsee with bringing up McCarthy is them not using that 5th starter often enough early in the season and he goes to the bullpen where he goes stale. Don't bring him North if he isn't going to get regular starts.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) I'm saying by it leaking out into the "real world". Net lingo is one thing, but for it to become more than that, which it more than likely will, is another thing. Problem is that this type of stuff is getting crazy. In Japan they are having problems of the youth forgetting their own language. People there have become so dependant on their internet lingo, phone lingo, and whatnot, that they have actually forgotten the symbols used in the language. Granted, there are thousands to remember, but it was never a problem until recent (very recent) years. Same thing will eventually start here, where stuff like "pwned" will become just how you spell it. It might be a little "consipracy" like and paranoid, but it fits with how the world is moving. As for the Punk dress, I was a silly kid. But back then, even though I looked the part, I still wasn't too keen on my own age group. I felt teens were, for the most part, a bunch of friggin' idiots. Yes, myself included. It's already is here. "Lite" is used for everything. "Congradulations" for graduates. Ever see a Z on a billboard sign? How often is it put up backward like an s?

Homer screams, "Damn it!" And, of course, my 2 1/2 year old daughter proceeds to run around the house screaming "DAMN IT!" Oh man, this parenting stuff is fun. :banghead

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) All kidding aside, you'll never do anything that means as much or is as important to you. Being a father a is wonderful thing. Just be sure you have your priorities straight. Best thing in the world!

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) Just heard the news. I want to kill myself. The only thing that's keeping me from the ledge is B-Mac. If this was any other season, I would think we were dead ducks. Finally, it appears that we have someone to fill in for him. It looks like B-Mac gets his wish and will be in the rotation to start the season. Please tell me that's dramatic effect. If not, wake up, get over it. It's baseball. Kill yourself? Come on.

QUOTE(flippedoutpunk @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) From what i remember it comes from a programming error from some old computer game where when you play online and you kill somebody the automatic message said "(Players Name) was pwned by (Other Players Name)" I cant rememeber the video game though.. That makes me feel a little better.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) someones fat finger hit p instead of o way back when and was too lazy to correct it. then people began thinking it was cool to leave typos... You're kidding, right? If you're serious, I am so upset right now. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what the hell it stands for. After all this time - this is the answer I get? f***!

Sigh... I'm still optimistic about the season. No doomsayer here!

I feel bad for the guy and wish him luck in the future.
