QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) And why is ESPN all of the sudden pushing Steve Phillips as their main baseball insider? What happened to Peter Gammons, whose role this year with BBT and SC was muss less than in years past. Sure Gammons was biased at times and had some stupid opinions of his own, but he's still one of the best writers in the bussiness. Phillips is just horrible, all the way around. It's the facial hair.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 12:44 AM) did you see the TD Pass to Moose against Detroit. That looked like it was thrown by Dan Marino in his prime. Bet you Grossman couldn't of placed that ball where Orton did. Bet you he could have. If you are going to base a quarterback's potential on one pass play, I've got Sage Rosenfels and Seneca Wallace waiting for you.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 12:39 AM) from what i have seen from him. Orton is a mediocre/adequate QB. He is a long ways from great, and I don't see him getting there either.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 12:24 AM) Never Said Orton was really good but he is ok right now. He will be a great QB sooner or later. I don't think Grossman is great though. What are you basing this on?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) Help, I forgot my password and I no longer have access to the e-mail address that I registered under. How can I change my email address and get a new password? Thx. Under My Controls there will be an option in the left toolbar.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Ach, beat me to it. Nerd Shouldn't you be working?

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) lol, thats not the problem, the problem is that I don't have access to the actual .swf file. Just the web address. Unless the program can somehow steal their file and I'm not aware of it, if thats the case then JACKPOT :-P. http://www.planetdan.net/pics/misc/georgerag.swf

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) Nerds. I concur.

Congrats.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) I'm in complete agreement, and I'm also one who has opted for a carreer path in an environment I love rather than a few $K more a year. Is this why you're wasting your time posting while you should be working? Or is it the flexibility to post on Soxtalk?

Yeah, f*** you guys. Time to merge.

I'm glad to see this qualifies as breaking news here. http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2005/11...4b113071777.txt

Well, if you asked Jas in February, there was no way we weren't getting an overpriced pitcher.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) Yes, I am. Started Fall of '91, graduated May of '96. Used to play a lot of basketball, and I was good enough back then to end up in pickup games (Court 1 ) with some of those guys that went on to play pro ball: Hoiberg, Michalik, Meyer, Thigpen, Bayless, etc. Don't want to wander too off-topic here, but suffice to say that Freddy did a lot of really cool things in his years at ISU. He's just a great human being. I think Hoiberg hit his peak a year or two back when he was the 3-point king, playing for Minnesota. I don't think he will ever get much beyond that in the NBA, though I'd happily eat crow if he does. He deserves it. Awesome. I'm currently at State. Exhibition game tonight already. I bet it's not too long before he ends up in coaching, if he wants to.

I hear Cotts is coming out with "How to Look Like a Hobo: Looking Disgruntled and Dirty in 7 Easy Steps!"

Happy BDay to the cabal of seven.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 09:23 AM) If he hasn't gotten his hair cut yet.. tell him Alex told him to. Me Alex? I don't need to get in trouble with him.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) I only have met a few pro athletes, but I do have a funny story at the end... Current/former Sox: Frank Thomas: Briefly, at a signing, years ago, seemed nice enough. Carlton Fisk: Again very briefly, seemed like a decent guy. Moose Skowron: Met him watching a game at Old Comiskey, seemed like a fun dude, he was joking around a lot. Tom Seaver: One of my idols as a kid. Met him briefly, shook his hand. Got chills. He had an amazing presence about him. Other ball players: Billy Williams (Cubs): Great guy. Spent some time talking with him at a charity softball thing years ago. As nice a guy as you could meet. Other athletes: Fred Hoiberg (NBA): Actually knew Freddy in college. Great guy all around, truly a classy person. Loren Meyer (NBA): Jerk. Great story involving Braves players: So I was at Wrigley once, many years back, with the family (they are all Cubs fans, except me :headshake ). My sister was a huge Jody Davis fan, from back in his Cub days, and he was a backup C on the Braves at that point. Anyway, Dale Murphy (who was the big Braves name back then) was signing autographs before the game, and my sister and I were trying to get one. She gets in there, Dale Murphy takes the ball from her to sign, and she says "NO! I want Jody's autograph! Can you get it for me?!" The look on his face was priceless. Utter shock, followed by thinly veild contempt. But even better, his teammates and even a couple reporters start laughing and poking fun. "She doesn't want YOUR autograph Dale, she wants JODY's!" This future Hall of Fame nominee, and he's being passed over for the backup catcher. He looks flustered, signs the ball anyway and hands it to my sister, and stomps back into the dugout. Later in the game, someone sent a ball up from the Braves dugout with Jody's autograph on it. I don't think Dale's a bad guy, he just got embarrassed by the situation. But a hilarious moment none the less. You an Iowa Stater? Awesome. I really hope Freddy catches on when he gets better.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) Why do you care so much?

He's not a top ten prospect, that's why. How's that for a smartass answer?

Or maybe the ultimate destination for the Saints?

I know Jim Bullard.

Probably in a pulldown on the Members page, IMMSMC.

So, I'm rooting for Baylor this weekend.
