The Geoff Blum deal is officially a success!

QUOTE(BuehrleTheAce @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) Yep, Photoshop. Typically you start with a picture (subject) that you want to build a sig around, then start playing around I thought there was also a request forum here somewhere where people ask others to make them sig pics...? Yeah, it's the forum at the bottom called "How Does That Work?" Also, Podz, I completely forgot about Deploderer because he is in France and hasn't been around lately. Silly me.

QUOTE(BFirebird @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:55 PM) I'm a newbie and this may seem like a really dumb question but where do you guys get all those sweet pics for your sigs? Do you guys all make them in Photoshop yourselves or do you get them from somewhere? Any info would be a help. Thanks. Some just put pictures from sites. Others make them through Photoshop such as myself, Kalapse, Goldmember, Mr. Showtime, BlackSox, and a few others...

"What are you doing Brian Gorman?" LMAO. Awesome job 56....

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:43 PM) I think you're overrating him a bit, he's a 3rd liner at best, and average one. 100 PIMs and 25 points is what youre looking at. Also brutal on special teams. I don't know how much that's gonna help. I probably am. I am just really excited hockey is coming back. The entire CBA thing really put a damper on my fandom. It's good to see the Hawks actually trying to ice a good team. Im finally excited hockey is back and can;t wait for it to start. Love the Aucoin signing and I hope we get Modano and another good player. Hockey is back!!!

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:37 PM) You can't be a veteran presence if you aren't in the lineup. Haha, I agree. But when he is, he can definitely help out the Bruins. That goes without saying...

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) And now for the deal breaker, which place has the most....um 'scenery' ?? Well, in your case, you'd have to go to the North-side... I keed, I keed!

Wow, I was going to turn 1 25 days after his ML debut. I guess you can say I have been with Frank every step pf his WS career?

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:34 PM) No reason, but no, he is oft injured and never really was anything special. A poor man's Bobby Holik, minus FO%. 20/20 one year, nothing special. Still a sold deal. Veteran presence who'll get you some points here and there. Plus, all they gave up was a 4th round pick.

Are you talking about the issue with all the goofy pictures? Beatles, Elvis, etc.?

Only punishment should for his kid to make him s***/piss in the appartment, lick it up clean, and then toss him off a 5th floor balcony.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:22 PM) Hrdak or whatever on ESPN supposedly said that Modano has made his choice between Boston and Chicago. I'm not thrilled with a four-year deal with Modano; he's already in his mid-30s. But, at least for the first two years of his contract, he'd be a Top-10 center in the league. As long as he can still produce it would be fine with me. He really just needs to be team leader 1st and then All-Star center. He is just injured far too often.

QUOTE(Art Vandelay @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) I'm sure it has something to do with this: "These fans, some of the fans out in the bleachers, once they have had a few drinks, they may be some of the dumbest fans here," said Buehrle with a smile. "They like taunting me, and I'm going to turn around and mess with them. "It seems like they can dish it out, but can't take it. Once I go back and say something to them, it seems like they get their hearts broken." Well hey Cubbie fans, you can't blame the man for being observant! You are my favorite poster ever. Avy, handle, Cub hater.......

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:14 PM) Luongo isnt underrated at all LOL. He gets his props for being the best goalie on what was a bad team. Probably one of the top three in the NHL. By no means was he underrated. and not to sound like a jagoff, but do you have any idea who Isbister is? Yeah. He was a good winger with the Islanders before he went to Edmonton. Why do you ask???

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 04:55 PM) Well its official blum is starting tongiht. Tonight lineup via scott rienforts blog: Pods, LF ... Iguchi, 2B ... Everett, DH ... Konerko, 1B ... AJ, C ... Dye, RF ... Rowand, CF ... Blum, 3B ... Uribe, SS ... Garland, RHP. nice to see pods and iguchi back I love it. Glad to see Blum in a Sox uni and Pods/Gooch back. I hope all 3 get a great ovation....

QUOTE(Giv20 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:00 PM) Jimbo is a Sox fan - his kid is the Cub fan. Poor bastard. Welcome to Soxtalk! Awesome Avy!!!!!!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 04:59 PM) Holy s***, if he goes to Florida, they are going to just kick MAJOR ass this year. Too bad Darcy got traded. Hell yeah. They would be stacked with Neuiwendyk, Roberts, Palffy, and Jokinen. I think Luongo is very underrated at gaolie too.

I just heard this on the ANB 7 Newsbrief....pretty f***ed up. My prayers to those on board and their families.

Bruins traded a 4th round pick to Edmonton for Winger Brad Isbister FWIW...

Palffy won't be coming to the Hawks: http://www.hockeytraderumors.com/modules.p...rticle&sid=5240

Wow. That is pretty f***ed up. As Carlos Mencia says it: "Shoot the 'Halahalahalahal' not the 'Ibadybibbadidabidabi'. It your turn!" Not trying to make light of it but this has gone too far. Everyone should be checked, PERIOD.

Whoot whoot! Happy birthday to all three! :

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) Do us all a favor and stay off of the cell phone and don't wave at the camera!!! DO IT!!! DO IT NOW!

I hopoe he turns out to be a f***ing steal and ends up hitting .650 the rest of the season and leads the Sox deep into the post-season ala Beltran. Yes, I am a dumbass for comparing Carlos Beltran to Geoff Blum but 1 could dream... Besides, we got him for 1 minor league prospect. Good deal. Win-Win situation, unless, of course, Meaux turns out to be Curt Schilling Jr... WELCOME TO THE SOUTH SIDE!
