Woke up at 11:30, fed my fish, took the dog out to take a piss, then took one myself. Came downstairs, got on the computer for a bit, watched the World Cup, got chest pains for being too mad, took an Aleve, went shopping for a pool table, went to Baskin Robbins and got some Orange Sherbet, came home, watched the Gladiator, then got on the computer to order a Pool Table online from Sports Authority, then checked my email, then logged on to SoxTalk and TalkBulls to take care of some business, and here I am... I also took a dump somewhere in there...

If you watch the replay full-speed, it looks a lot like a flop. When Zidane turned around, Materazzi new something was coming.

I'm sorry but that is a flop by Materazzi. I mean, it was a vicious headbutt, but you don't fall like that after a headbutt to the chest. It would be more of a stumble and fall backwards. But nonetheless, a bonehead play by Zidane. Way to let your country down...

I'm going for France in this game. I hope Zidane ends his INT career with a World Cup win.

Wrigley and the Cell are quite similar in noise but I'd have to give the edge to the Cell becuase they are louder throughout the entire course of the game, compared to Wrigley where it's deafening 1 minutes and in 5 minutes, completely silent. But when the Cell goes nuts....wow.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) Well then i'm going to make a generalization about White Sox fans based on that asshole last week at Wrigley, or the White Sox fan without teeth, or the White Sox fan with a sleeveless shirt jorts a mullet and his ass crack showing.. Hib, said it best. End of story. In which part of my post did I generalize Red Cubs fans?

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) Everybody's excuse for disliking Red Sox fans has been because they have no homegrown talent, have too high of a payroll, were the defending world champs last year, etc. The Red Sox have more homegrown talent than the White Sox do. The Red Sox and White Sox are two of only a few teams with payrolls over 100 million, about a 15 million dollar difference. The White Sox won the World Series. I tend to believe you guys hate Red Sox fans because Boston fans travel so well, and half the stadium will be Red Sox fans. If Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota, or any team for that matter traveled well, you'd think they were obnoxious aswell. I'm proud of that 2004 team. Just as you're proud of your 2005 White Sox. We don't care that the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. We won in 2005. We don't care about the Red Sox home grown talent. We have Brian Anderson, Jon Garland, Mark Buehrle, Joe Crede, etc. We don't care how well Red Sox fans travel. We care about how stupid and defensive they are when they come to OUR ballpark. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

QUOTE(loltrain @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 06:16 PM) Chicago fans and Boston fans are pretty similar imo. But that may only be because our teams are rivals so you guys act a bit wilder when we're playing Do not categorize us as Chicago fans. We are World Series Champion White Sox fans.

I agree with the people who said "What the f*** is he doing mowing the lawn during a thunderstorm?"

It's AnthraxFan's BDAY! Happy birthday Tmar.

Glad I could help GP.

Well, I'm the starting goalie for my HS varsity soccer team as well. We start practices sometimes next month. There is a lot to being a goalie and you have to be fit for the position. You have to have good instincts and reaction. A few tips: 1.) When jumping, always jump with a knee up, guard your midsection and groin, because when people are running at you full speed after a ball in midair, you might get hammered. So, get that knee up high. 2.) When a player of the opposing team is on a breakaway by himself with the ball, you want to get closer to him and approach him rather than sitting back in the goal, getting closer closes the area he has to shoot. 3.) Know when to come in for corners. If you know you can catch the ball, catch it. If you think you might only get a hand on it, punch it away. As far as workouts or drills, lay flat on your back and have someon stand about 5 feet away from you. Have them throw the ball in different directions making you dive for it. Another, in the same position (you on your back and another 5 ft away), get in a sit-up position and do situps but when you come up, catch the ball and throw it back (2 handed) on your way down. Stretching: Do a lot of back and leg stretches. Another tip, do 1/2 way PK's. Instead of 10 yards away, do it 5 or 7 yards away, it will improve your reaction time. Spend a lot of time in the goal, it will help. Get like 3 or 4 guys shooting at once and try to save as many as you can, that will improve your quickness.

OMFG WILLIE HARRIS!

I have never seen a ball hit closer to the fan deck than that GS by Thome. Holy s***.
