Heads22

I wanted to see Anderson get a start. Reed vs. Anderson. Throw Felix in there and it's a pretty awesome mixup of prospects in one game.

Iowa State held a students-only vieweing of a scrimmage this year. A number of things I notcied. #1 Dan McCarney is a god. Got more cheers than any player and he's finally convinced the majority of fans, 11 years in, that he can work magic. "When I got here, this place was the biggest mess in college football. Now, we're heading someplace special." #2 ISU is in real trouble in Meyer goes down and Flynn stays at WR. I've never been a big Bret Meyer fan, but if he is hurt, the team is done for unless Flynn comes back as the emergency QB. #3 Kicking has finally improved. The walkon from last year who missed the FG against Mizzou was solid and all FG's within 45 yards were made. #4 Anyone who watched any ISU football here (probably not many) knew what Ellis Hobbs meant to the team. It seems the Big 12 defensive newcomer of the year, Tim Dobbins, wants to be the heart of the D. Also, a very funny guy. #5 The team wants to play Iowa, and badly. Coach Mac talked about Illinois State, but every player mentioned the Iowa game and the host of the program donned a "Beat Iowa" shirt. I can't wait til Sept. 10. Iowa may be heavily favored, but it should be a hell of a game.

Who else could come in and write 3,000 non-sensical posts in two days? ss2K? He was acting way too strange for a newbie. It kinda makes sense when you think about it.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) That was pretty funny. I'm taking a college class on witty message board banter.

QUOTE(GoSoxGo @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 04:03 AM) By the way, are you Hawk Harrelson? Would you rather have Aaron Rowand over Ken Griffey? But seriously, have you been watching Crede at the plate the past two seasons? I just don't see how anyone could defend him. His bat is so bad that he is a defensive replacement in my mind. I would never wish injury on anyone but sadly, if Crede is hurt and Blum replaces him full-time at 3rd base it would actually be an improvement to the bottom of our lineup. Joe Crede: .251 career AVG | .300 career OBP Geoff Blum: .253 career AVG | .316 career OBP And Blum was brought here to be a BACKUP 3rd baseman! By the way, are you Jabroni? Cause your IP's match. Buh bye.

It certainly isn't an issue with Jeff's character. I know people like Rex and BHam can vouch for that. He just must not be in their plans.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) I think the donations should hold some sort of status with it. You will get more people to donate that way. Maybe make it be some sort of a membership upgrade, etc. I dont know, I just want to give you the best chance for the most money. LOL...it's tough to word this but we don't want any benefit (other than defraying site costs and adding new features) to come from this. We don't want premium boards or people to think they get anything special out of this other than some recognition. I don't know the names of a lot of people in real life, but thank you to those who have donated. We may start up a page detailing the people that helped out. Jason's date fund is still at 0. Come on people!

I agree with Yas. If these guys really are team players it won't make a damn difference because the goal is to win. Or die trying.

LOL. Yes Ms. Webster.

Happy BDay!

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) But it doesn't count if you threw it to yourself. It was a BP homerun at the very least. :finger

It was a hanging curve.

Thanks to those of you that have already donated! Keep in mind, as of now all money will go back into the Soxtalk/FS duo unless you specify you want it to go to Jason's date fund. If you've ever seen his face, you know why he needs money. A lot of it.

Alright the option is there. Caution, we have not tested this yet.

I set up a paypal acct. I hope to make it active sometime soon.

Jose has been a bit of a big game pitcher against the Yanks. If New York somehow makes the WC and we play them, it wouldn't be a stretch to see Jose get a start.

Oh, Kap's the nerd to ask about that.

We've talked before about possibly setting up a PayPal or gift money section of Soxtalk for anyone who wanted to donate but we weren't sure how it would go over.

Watch at midnite tonite on Comedy Central. Stewart goes off about the war like I've never seen him do before....

Anyone else watch it tonite? Wow.

Torres takes no hitter into the ninth for Kanny.

Even more astounding....according to the Baseball Cube, Buehlre only pitched 36 games in the minors. That can't happen real often.

I thought he did too.
