  1. The more I think about it, cancer or not, this team may need some heart because we lost Jose and Carlos this offseason. Where does our heart come from without those two guys? Ozzie? I don't think so.

    Cubs fans

    This is sort of a sentimental answer but when the Cubs fans outnumber you, their insults will always get more laughs. I usually take the criticism to heart because I know that deep down inside I love my White Sox and hate the Cubs and nothing could ever change that.
  3. Ichiro talking to Sisler's family and Edgar's sendoff were pretty special moments that come to my mind.
  4. I did this a while ago and got 14 I think. It's definitely in the eyes.
  5. Most of the time pitching is more reliable in the postseason than hitting. Sure a team like the Angels can get hot in October but teams with good pitching (especially starting) have a better chance at winning some games. I look at what the Red Sox to the Yankees and Cards as a good example of this.
  6. Thanks 2k4, that gives me a better idea of what it was like. Still since that was Malaysia, I wonder what it was like for people on beaches in Thailand.
  7. This is pretty amazing to me and I think the streak will be broken this season.
  8. It would take a very large nuclear explosion to cause such a tsunami. It's probably not too likely terrorists would conspire to do this when detonating one on land would have a much more terrorizing effect. Meteors, on the other hand could wipe out coastal cities throughout the Atlantic or Pacific depending on where they hit. This is a pretty good site about tsunamis in general: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/itic/library/about_tsu/faqs.html This link shows the (small) possibility of a larger tsunami in the Atlantic: http://www.newsmedianews.com/tsunami.htm
  9. I find the anchor to be a bit overdramatic.
  10. I'm hearing after the first wave hit and receded, many people went to the shore to see the exposed ocean floor that they had never seen before. I also imagine there's tons of bodies they will probably never find. And at least 1/3 of the dead are children...
  11. Amazon is almost up to a million in donations already. http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/my-pay...2868895-6336812
  12. For lack of a better word, I agree but he was so awful I find it hard say he "hosted" anything.
  13. 52,000 now. Total getting close to the population of Schaumburg now. They are having trouble identifying bodies now because it's been so long.
  14. Millions of homeless, I can't even begin to comprehend how a relief effort will deal with that.
  15. Rotoworld gets alot of rumors from these sources and other newspapers. I don't think they really aim to be the insider source but they are very thorough and have good followup coverage.
  16. I think we inherited the old Red Sox bandwagon by default.
  17. Thanks guys for mentioning Brothers in Arms. I thought we were looking at another MOH/COD engine ripoff but this game is totally built from scratch and the point and click squad command interface sounds awesome. Blood spatters look good too...
  18. Football players and especially linemen demand so much of their bodies during their careers. Reggie, you were far too young. RIP.
  19. I've always loved his windup, it was probably the most imitated windup by kids in America a few years ago.
  20. Where's that pic of Tice last year in Arizona? I think Bones had it for a sig. Maybe it's time to make a new one.
  21. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1953071 Sad Christmas for the Oates family. He always seemed like a charismatic guy and it's sad to see him go after fighting so long with cancer. RIP
  22. Sci-fi channel Xmas Weekend Movie Marathon.
  23. I think our ballpark puts our starting rotation at a distinct disadvantage. I believe most of our pitchers were pretty good on the road last year. I don't have the numbers but someone feel free to look them up and back me up.
