Vedder is solid...lately he's been slipping IMO...but damn, those boys been touring for 13-15 years...touring has taken its toll on Eddie and his voice. BTW, check out Probot if you can download some of it. Dave's Metal side project. I havent heard any of it yet, but something Grohl put quite a bit of time getting together. Here is the info. Also, Fiona's new CD comes out in Jan or Feb supposedly. She takes her time with new albums, but damn worth it IMO.

Bah....Fiona Apples version has it beat!!!! But yeah, I have heard it PA, pretty solid.

I'm probably in the minority here, but i honestly love to hear Fiona Apple sing, I love her lyrics, her piano playing. Yeah, she has issues outside of music, but read about her f***ed up upbringing, and maybe that'll explain it. And of course, Dave Grohl is my man. I still argue to this day that he is one of the most talented guys out there right now in the music industry. Then theres Coldplay. Yeah, they are becoming more and more commercial, but there is a reason thats happening: its just damn good music. "Rush of Blood to the Head" hasn't left my CD player in my car for a month now. Also been listening to "Parachutes" which, actually maybe a better CD. Eddie Vedder has long been one of my favorite vocalists. Those guys keep churning out quality CDs, even through bandmember changes. Talk about long lifespan in the music scene

I do believe its cynicism Steve....that is, if I can talk for Brando

Yes Tex... F YOU TEXSOX actually means I value your opinion Tex, and said opinion is appropriately noted.

HAHA.... I woulda posted the same comment, but was beaten to it...Good one Tex

Already here....good ole South Carolina....

Bravo Brett....Thoghts and prayers were and still are with you. You went out, let your focus be the game you play for 3+ hours, and excelled like few others could have in teh face of such adversity. I've always been a Favre fan, and a Packers fan (hate me if ya want).....I'm proud to be one now, and always will be. Now the grieving time can be the focus as it should be.

Heads, my dad lived out there for a while, so I spent a couple summers there. I went quite a few places around there, but of course thats when I was 9-10 years old (I am 26 now). Wish I could remember some things about SA, but it was the 80's when I was there GL in the Bowl game!!

Well, I may be the only Sox fan NOT wanting to trade Koch, but my sig still says it all.

Melido Perez sighting!!!!!

Yeah, Past, that was the story. Go read todays Tribune online though. Apparently Windsock KW changed his mind again, and decided to tender Schoen. Now he probably will end up with what most figure a 10% raise(go figure). That puts him at 1.65 mill for 2004. Crazy, since we are already over the enormously large Payroll JR has set for us.

I honestly believe that KWs plan all along is to trade Nomar if/when he is acquired, and keep Williamson. Of course hes gonna say "We plan on keeping Nomar if we are able to acquire him." What better way to get Dan Evans to start thinking like a desperate GM? KW puts Evans in a major bind if he acquires Nomar, and then acts as if we are gonna keep him. That way, Evans breaks down and says "OK. Take Perez, Mota and Jackson. I need that marquee name here in LA." Its a mighty fierce game of Poker KW is playing, we are lucky hes not doing it against Beane or the like!!

Holy Hell......that pic.... .....what the hell.

Thanks for the last couple of years, RPS. I used to turn down Hawk and DJ to hear you guys, occasionally even dropping a line to ya. I got to meet Killa and Guido when I came up this past July from South Carolina for the KC series. Its been great, and it was appreciated more than you guys probably know. And remember...... in the voice of Randy Savage "Ya'll gonna make me lose my mind...up in here, up in here...ya'll gonna make me kick Hogans ass....up in here, up in here." God, I was f***ing dying that night....

I want Danny Darwin back in the starting rotation NOW!!!!!!!!! I don't care how old he is, he shoulda never been traded in the "White Flag" trade!!!

Hell yeah, Brando...whats the name of the song? Hehe...everytime I hear that guitar lead-in..I don't have to even be watching TV, I know what it is. I hope that the NFL network can make it, Rich Eisen is a quality guy, and a great caster.

Well, if we are playin that game....I'd PREFER to turn Frank Thomas into Frank Robinson, and Willie Harris into Willie Mays.....and maybe Jose Valentin into Jose Feleciano. He could sing Feliz Navidad during the 7th inning stretch. Then turn Aaron Rowand into Aaron Spelling. He could write a cheesy team angst melodrama about the Sox. Also, we'd have to turn Sandy Alomar Jr into Sandy Duncan, who was on the show "Valerie". Oh, the possiblilities are endless!!!

Quite the moral dilemma Brett has now. OK, before anyone posts something like "Show some respect!!" or "Family comes first!!", hear me out. Brett always said the streak means nothing to him, while most of us disagree. We are all about to find out the truth tomorrow. Its a game the Packers DESPERATELY need, and a more important, tragic event has happened in the Favre family. Wow, it must be pulling his thoughts all different ways right now..We're thinking about ya Brett, do the right thing. Bless the Favre family in this time of need.

BeGood...think your boys are done for the year....the annual Winter woon for the 'Fins started earlier than usual this year.

Oops. I stand corrected. Ahhh, to be in the wishy-washy head of KW....

Ugh....Schoeneweis better be something more than just an innings eater. He hasn't proven that he can even do that on a consistent level in MLB.

First off, welcome aboard!!! As for your question, yes Schoeneweis was non-tendered. you can get the info here.

I honestly didt see this one coming, although I'm glad it did. I was sure that KW was gonna do everything in his power to let Schoen take, and fail, in the #5 spot in our rotation. Fine by me, KW. No way in hell should we have risked paying Scott Freakin Schoeneweis $2 mill.

beastley...why start the SAME topic when The Critic had already done it? ......incoming merge.
