QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 02:49 PM) Test it first. I've tried playing certain streaming videos through my PS3 and it doesnt work (from ahllive.com for example). Going to hulu or youtube works so I guess it depends on what kind of video it is. Make sure it works before buying the whole season. Youtube works for me. If it does not work I can just buy the cable to hook my laptop to my TV, but using the PS3 would be much easier.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 04:25 PM) Yes. Only because of a lack of great centers. Will The Yankees win a championship within the next 2 years? No, they're older than people think Who is in the NBA finals this year?

If it were not the Cubs, I would not mind Brenly and Casper. I had fun listening to them last night, but I also had a lot of fun with my room mate making fun of his own kind (ala he's a cub fan)

I can tell you about after Tuesday's game.

Way to much love for Jordan Danks on this board, at least too much to project him in the 2010 lineup. "Toolsey type" prospects are just too hard to predict.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) No. Will Lovie Smith still be the coach in 3 years? No, will be fired by Angelo (although it should be the opposite.) Biggest surprise in baseball this year?

I am thinking about buying MLB.tv and playing it through my PS3 browser. Anybody have any good or bad luck with this?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 06:03 PM) MLB2k9 > MLB The Show '09. No thanks. The show 08 had so much replay value for me with the awesome career mode. My room mate had 2k8 and I loved how it was extremely easy to hit a homerun even on the toughest mode.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 01:07 PM) once beckham's ready, why can't you just put the best SS out there? competition between the two. A lot of scouting I have read on Beckham is that he might not be athletic enough to play short, ala he doesn't cover the ground, and that's why you hear a lot of talk of moving him to second. Also remember, I believe Alexei's "natural" position was CF.

Gahh it's hard to say that you want on the internet because you have no tone. I know that below the belt shots are illegal in MMA, it was more my way of saying "dude falls, ass gets kicked fight over in 30 seconds." It's not that I hate MMA, rather, I like the technicality of it, the history, and I like that it isn't marketed on the "extreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" plan. But I get why so many more people prefer MMA to boxing. Also, hope I didn't come off as a prick with my last post......i swear I'm not that angry haha

Mizzou is the most underrated team right now IMO

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 06:26 PM) Ive never watched an episode of the wire, I dont even really know what its about, but seeing how much praise it gets Im gonna give it a shot. Season 1 is on On demand so hopefully I wont be dissapointed. My only warning on the Wire is that it takes a couple of episodes for everything to get going, so it may seem a bit boring at first, but stick with it. Also, there are a lot of characters which can get a bit confusing.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) I watched the first two seasons of the Wire and think it's one of the best shows ever produced. Got behind in the 3rd season and didn't catch up yet, so I'm looking forward to watching it. I sort of did something I hate, but it was a great little secret for me for the first 2 years, then in became a critical hit and I was annoyed (specifically at The Sports Guy) about the attention. It's petty and I hate when people do it with bands, I have no excuse, I cost myself the entertainment. I'm the same way, especially with music. I was catching up on the Soprano's when I heard too many good things about this show so I quit the Sopranos. Re-watching the Wire right now again. Most say season 4 is the best, and 5 was crazy, so I highly recommend picking it up again. In fact, just start from the beginning again. I also have no idea how this show never won an Emmy.

Omar Little- The Wire Nobody on Soxtalk watched the Wire? So many great characters in this show so my opinion changes all the time.

I also attend ISU... as it is my last spring break, I'm going to spring training to see some sox and cubs (room mate) games. Really excited.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 27, 2009 -> 07:23 PM) Nice try with the shock post though, you go ahead and keep believing that boxing is superior to MMA. Since you have WWE avatar, I'll try and ignore that. All MMA fights go like this: Guy falls on ground, other dude on tops pummels him in the nuts, fight over. At least in Boxing, there is a chance of a late round comeback which is exciting. All the MMA/UFC crap is Joe Roegan yelling into a microphone about chemically enhanced meat heads. I take Boxing instead of the flavor of the week, thanks. (also note to MMA fans, stop wearing shirts with awful designs on them. this also bothers me to no end)

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 09:08 AM) So we somehow managed to nab the 5 seed in the Valley tourny. We pretty much got the best draw we possibly could(BU instead of IlSU in the first round and UNI instead of CU in the semis if we get there) so at least that's something, still holding out for a miracle run here. To be honest though, I'll be shocked if Creighton doesn't take this thing down, the only other team I can possibly see winning is Soxtalk's favorite, Illinois State. ILL State is so overrated, and I go there. I think Creighton takes the MVC tourney, I just don't see the UNI thing at all.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 10:50 AM) No. Big 12 Will any big names from last years NFL rookie class experience a sophomore slump to the point of getting benched the majority of the season? Yes. Steve Slaton. How deep will the Blackhawks go into the playoffs this year?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 03:58 PM) I JUST got the joke in the title. I didn't even notice it until you said something about it.

I always rely on opinions from 2004

also being reported on espn.com Can someone remind me then, which draft pick would we get as compensation? (I love this broken system)

Meh, such a non-story to report about, but let's calm down over the "sox vs. cubs" stuff. Could it be possible that some Chicago people are going in march (like me with my spring break)? Also, the Dodgers do have more of a national following IMO.

Not to try and go complety off topic, but Ditka is the most overrated sports person in this city, by far. Take off Ditka, put Big Hurt on.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 02:55 PM) True. I mean if he tears up AA, I don't think a September callup is out of the question. Also depends on the 40-man roster at that time, since he would need to be added. I would also imagine that if the white sox are out of the race, then they might get him up to the big club to take a look. If they are contending, then I don't see him up or playing much.
