QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ May 25, 2006 -> 06:26 PM) My theory on how she knew about the magnetism was because of her father. His last name is Widmore and it's popped up a lot in the background of stuff throughout the series, and she said in this episode that with money, anyone can be found... something like that. And I agree on Jack... I really think Michael let them know they were being double crossed... at least I hope that's the case. Michael could use some redemption. Her father is Charles Widmore of Widmore Construction. He is a mjor investor in the Hanso Corporation and his company built the Darma stations plus other things throught the season. http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Widmore

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) Yes, it he also bears a striking resemblence at least to the fat guy who was seemingly leading the Others until Henry Gale showed back up. That is not the same guy. Mr Tom Friendly aka The bearded man is actor MC Gainey. Desmond's partner in the hatch is Clancy Brown ( who is also Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants!)

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 25, 2006 -> 11:07 AM) So... is it worth it to go rent these? Yes...a resounding Yes!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2006 -> 10:45 AM) WINNER! They gave you just enough answers to keep you interested, while leaving just enough questions to keep you addicted. Some thoughts... -I thought for sure Hurley or Sawyer was going to cap Michael when he found out about Libby/Ana Lucia. -I want to know what happened to Sayed, Jin, and Sun. -I can't wait to see if Mr Echo and Locke survived the blast. I loved Locke admitting "I was wrong" as the place was going nuts. -Who is Mrs Witlock and have we seen her before? -Was the electroamagnitism what caused people to get healthy quick, and if so will Locke (if he is alive) and the other woman stay "healthy"? - I am shocked they didn't kill Michael. At the very least I wanted to see Hurley jump on him and crush him. - I think Sayed, Jin and Sun are still at the "fake" Others camp. Talk about theatrics, there was nothing real in that camp and the hatch they had led nowhere. - I have a feeling the "blast" wasn't a blast but more of a pulse that really didn't destroy anything. I doubt they'd kill off two of the most popular characters. - Her name was Widmore and she is the daughter of Charles Widmore who is one of the head guys in the Hanso Corporation (I love this mythology they are creating) A few questions of my own... - What is up the giant four-toe "Homer Simpson" foot? - Sine the magnetic properties on the island probably screwed up his compass and hindered Desmonds escape (thus thinkling humanity was gone)...What is heading 325? And why is Fake-Henry sure there is a rescue wating for Michael and Walt. - Was Elizabeth really Libby or a twin? - Didn't the final guy in the artic station with the glasses look like Jack?!? Hmmmm and check this out...cool http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page Perhaps we should add a "SPOILER WARNING" to this thread?

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ May 25, 2006 -> 10:42 AM) Um...why weren't you watching the Sox? I think I'm going to buy Season 1 and try and get into this show...everyone says great things. Hopefully Season 2 will be out on DVD before Season 3 starts. I believe Season 2 comes out on October 3rd just before the new season starts. Link to Amazon.com "Lost-Season 2 DVD" page

I would rather have Bobby throwing 95-97 with movement like I've been seeing than 98-100 consistantly but with no movement.

Happy Birthday Soxy! Happy B-Day Jim

The Cubs Unlike the other teams, who are openly rebuilding, the Cubs have a plethora of veterans they could be traded by July (Eyre, Howry, Walker...) and that'll only help to sink them further.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2006 -> 09:43 AM) Anyone else watch this show??? The finale was incredible and finally started to give more backround info on the last two seasons along with lots of the side characters. I can't wait until the next season, I am so addicted to this show. I love this show!! Last night was heart-pounding and jaw-dropping! This show has got me hook, line and sinker and I bow to my master! BTW, I love the criticisms some people have about the show last night i.e. They didn't answer everything, I still don't know all about those people..etc. NO s***!! If they answered "Everything", the show would be over.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2006 -> 08:41 AM) I was watching the game, duh And I was watching you Johnny Cakes...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2006 -> 08:42 AM) How the f*** do you suspend someone for getting punched? If he does get one game he will appeal it. (as will everyone)

This is an odd and compelling story. I hope everything turns out well for him. It seems to be a physical and pyschological disease that he began showing symptoms of while he was in Oakland. Might explain his lack of effectiveness here or not. Still, I wonder if Beane knew before trading him. hmmm. Anyway, here's the article about it. Sad. http://www.ktvu.com/news/9264350/detail.html

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 24, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) Ugh. Of course everyone will love this until Mack starts giving away games with his D, then everyone will hate it again. Brutal idea if this is on a more permanent basis. Mack is a terrible CF. To be honest I would rather see them move Pods to CF and let Mack play LF. Would you expect anything else?

YES I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD OF THAT YES

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:27 PM) Put Mack at DH and let Anderson roam CF. Brilliant idea! DH for Anderson and let Beuhrle hit for himself!

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:20 AM) http://www.rotoworld.com/content/clubhouse...MLB&majteam=CWS Jim Thome tweaked his right groin during Tuesday night's game, but he expects to be in Wednesday's starting lineup. If the decision is made to give him a day off, the White Sox will probably use Ross Gload in his place. May. 24 - 12:55 am et Did he marry a Playboy Playmate too? :rolly

Take this advice from someone who had season tickets in the UD for 12 years. Don't eat. Save your money and buy more BEER!!!

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 23, 2006 -> 04:26 PM) It is Lloyd Bentsen. Benson (Robert Guillaume) is still very much alive. and that's Benson Dubois... man I need a life. :headshake

Not to burst anyone's pessimistic bubble, but...WE WON. It Worked. We Won. Why dwell on "what if..."? You could do that the whole game... "What if" we didn't take so many pitches from Zito he'd still be in the game late and we'd never come back. "What if" pinch-hitting Rob Mackowiak in the 8th resulted in a strike-out and not a two-run homer? I am not against discussing the motivation behind the bunt, but the negativity after-the-fact towards a designed play that won us the game is odd.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ May 23, 2006 -> 12:07 PM) That was funny. My buddy Rob commented during the squirrel episode that to spice up the games they should get rid of the squirrel and have more beaver running around the park!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2006 -> 02:29 PM) COURT RULING, Chicago Illinois, May 8, 2006 Chicago, Illinois (AP) – A seven year old boy was at the center of a Chicago courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the Judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Chicago Cubs, who the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone. Two shows nightly!
