QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 10:23 AM) A little off topic, but one of my girlfriends in college tried to get me to watch the Notebook with her and her roommate. It was a weeknight and didn't have anything else to do, so I figured I might as well. I had every intention in the world of sitting through it. Ive seen the Notebook but I cant remember when or with who it was, im pretty sure I was in shutdown mode when that happened as well..

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) Allright so if you want to dream, here is the scenario for the bulls to get 3. 1) The bulls must get a trade exception in the Hinrich trade, it has to be large. For the sake of ease we will say the Bulls have 12 mil in trade exception. 2) The bulls need to move deng in a trade that will bring them to the right number for 2 max contracts under the salary cap. 3) Sign Wade/Lebron max deals, you are now at cap. 4) Trade exception + a combination of players that = Chris Bosh max contract x .9 (I believe that is the rule, it may be a different formula but I believe a team over cap can trade as long as salaries are within 90%) And there you go potential starting line up: Joakim Noah C Chris Bosh PF Lebron James SF Dwayne Wade SG Derrick Rose PG -- Scrubs And Im out hopefully the bulls read this post and pitch the 3 of them. There is a possibility, no one else could offer this. If they make it happen they will be gods. (haha zoom at least give me credit you bastard) That lineup isn't even fair, I don't see how they would lose a game

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) They are saying 9:30 but it looks a bit optimistic. Its been raining for two days straight here in Houston, im surprised its all the way up in the Dallas area too

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) I can't be the only one who got dragged by their sig other to see Eclipse? I actually liked the movie a lot more than New Moon. I remember when the first one came out, and I had no idea what it was.. I was going to go with this girl, but it fell apart.. I am glad that I have never seen any twilight movie, but often think about how I almost willingly went to see the first one because I had no idea what it was..

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 05:03 PM) I am working. I can talk on the phone and read at the same time. Im a 5 tool worker! lies, there is a noticeable decline in your performance while on Soxtalk at work

you should be working anyways instead of looking at soxtalk.. would make sense to me

crooked number goes up on the board sacks packed with sox

Paul Pierce is opting out of Boston

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) I like Juan, but if you look up his name in the dictionary, you see .250. Actually, it says .298

He just needs to DH or play 3B every day.. this is crap if he sits the next 4 games

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:49 PM) The Braves are 18-24 on the road. Not good. And I don't think we need to discuss the Pirates, Nats and Cubs No one cares about this, ive tried

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) Good job Hot Fire! When are you gonna let this go, it wont catch on.. ever

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) I agree with you, I think she's ugly. :-/ I don't think shes ugly, but im just not that impressed with her face

I don't get why people think Brooklyn Decker looks good

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) You could say the same exact thing you are saying now if they win 10 of the next 13 against Los Angeles, Texas, and Kansas City because they aren't doing it against Minnesota, Detroit, Boston, or New York too. And then if they do it against them, you can say that they haven't done it in the playoffs yet. And then, invariably, when the Sox eventually do lose a series or go on an extended losing streak (which is almost certainly going to happen over the course of 88 games), you can be the one who said "I told you so." See, now I know for sure that you don't get what I am saying and are just thinking im hating on them.. Its not about "I Told You So", im a Sox fan im not sitting here waiting for them to lose so I can rub it in everyones face.. the only thing that I have been saying is I want to see them put together wins against AL teams.. we were almost 10 games under before we got to play the NL, and yes the team got VERY hot.. I just don't see the need to go all overboard about them right now until I see them start taking care of business where it matters.. I hope they do win 10 of the next 13 and I hope they do beat Minnesota, Detroit, Boston, and New York..

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) This team could s*** a brick of gold for you, and you'd ask for sterling silver and remain disappointed. really wite? find where I have said this team was done.. how about find where I said that they are still garbage despite beating up on the NL.. you cant, because I didn't f***ing say that or act that way.. why is it so f***ing off the wall to want to see them put together some streaks against the AL? you act like i just sit here and bash them or something.. gimme a f***ing break.. they need to start beating the teams they should beat, the clevelands and kansas citys of the world, and perform against their own league before I start throwing a party like most of you people.. you'll be the same ones cursing this team if they fall again..

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) I don't. It's really gotten old watching him slam down his bat every time he misses a high fastball or grounds out to the right side. He just routinely acts like a little b****. Ive seen him do it about 3-4 times the last few games

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) Oh Lou, if only you took my advice. Quentin = money w/ RISP. Kotsay, not so much. You gotta wonder why anyone would pitch the Carlos with Kotsay behind him even though Kotsay just singled as I posted this

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:21 PM) I'm wondering why you said that teams like Florida have a lot to do "with this streak" then. Ok then consider that a miswording on my part?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:21 PM) Rios is just a hell of a player. who we got for FREE

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:18 PM) First of all, we didn't play Florida. Second of all, don't mistake correlation with causality. Im talking about our interleague schedule having an impact on our current standing..

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:14 PM) Wrong. Baseball is not basketball. Yeah you're right, getting to play teams like Pittsburgh, Washington, Florida, and the Cubs had nothing to do with this streak

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:40 PM) all I am trying to impart is that teams don't run off a streak like this merely because the competition is subpar. Actually ide say thats a big reason why teams run off big streaks like this

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:33 PM) No one is declaring anyone AL Central Champions. But to claim that this run is somehow not impressive because of the competition they've faced is bs. Winning 15 of 16 major league baseball games, I don't care who you play, is quite an accomplishment. And to sweep the Braves, who have been one of the best teams in baseball since May 1st, is also quite an accomplishment. Because they happen to be in the NL and not the AL has very little to do with the quality of baseball team they are. I don't think the run isn't impressive.. they have won 11 in a row and what, 15 of 16? That's impressive.. I don't see what the problem is with wanting them to finally do good against AL competition before getting my hopes up..
