I'll be at the game at BU. Agganis is a nice arena (though I've only seen hockey games there). 5th row, center court for $18. Oh, and they were somehow grandfathered in to sell beer. I-L-L.

Interesting Heyman article on Robin's extension. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...his-contract-is Some things that stood out to me:

Using my drunk Friday night in to make a team name and logo for my fantasy baseball team. My league is all cubs fans and I live in Boston. I HATE Red Sox fans but troll my cub friends by throwing Boston out there any chance I get, making fun of the WS drought that turned into a "dynasty" [shudder], etc. I can't overstate how awful Boston fans are, seriously. As such, I was looking for a team/logo that makes fun of both the cubs and Red Sox. Starting with the basic "Cubs Suck, Red Sox Swallow" as a team name with an image of various Red Sox players in the locker room with the champagne and all, and superimposed the Brazzers logo over the pictures. (I also lack the know-how to put the Brazzers static logo on this gif but it would be awesome. Any help with that?) http://usatthebiglead.files.wordpress.com/...=231&crop=1 Does anyone have a better team name for this? Doesn't have to be anti-cubs necessarily, more focused on the Red Sox gobbling Richards. Cheers!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 11:24 PM) He's doing it to communicate with the media and teammates (but mainly media, don't ask me why) I think it 's a positive note that he wants to be able to communicate with the media. The media basically controls his image to the fans, and the fact that he wants to be part of that makes me think that he wants to be fan-friendly, or at least approachable. The White Sox need players that are approachable and "everyday kind of guys" so people can relate to them and buy into something (if we aren't winning). Something to make young fans and families enjoy the team we have. I'm all for it.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Feb 13, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) I hate these blowhard media cocksuckers who want to tell everyone how to think and act, and never shut up about it, kind of like posters here ATM who refuse to give Ervin Santana his just due. QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Feb 13, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) I also would like to quote this post as both groundbreaking and historic in it's own sense, as you will find at least two terms in here which are not covered by the language filter (nor should they be) which can be used freely by all and should be used freely by all unless they are used in a manner which I would disagree with. Must have slipped through the filter.

I don't see an alcohol thread started so I'll just add this here. Anyone in here a whiskey drinker? Like, good whiskey? Yesterday I went to a whiskey tasting in Cambridge, MA and had my mind blown. I had looked at the list before going (there were something like 90 varieties to try) and I saw this place Koval from Chicago, figured I would give them the cursory attempt. Turns it's amazing. Like, truly great. For reference, my previous favorites are things like Blanton's, Eagle Rare, and Bulleit. I tried Koval's bourbon, oat, rye, 4 grains, and white rye. There were a bunch of other $60 whiskeys at the tasting, and Koval had 3 of my top 5 I tried all day. It runs about $50 a bottle but totally worth it. I checked out their twitter account and it sounds like they do tastings around downtown Chicago pretty frequently, if you want to try it out before dropping $50. I seriously suggest anyone who enjoys a whiskey to check it out. Great stuff. And after reading through everything I just said, no this is not a paid advertisement haha. I just really love bourbon, and this brand I had never previously heard of has pretty much ruined a lot of other bourbons for me now (and has turned me to rye as well).

Remember when Manny Ramirez was on the White Sox?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) Will Carroll recently tweeted that three of his credible sources have Peavy going to three different teams. I'd post the tweet but I'm at the Nats game. Well played Rick.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 10:59 PM) Need a PTBNL with that Hawk Harrelson. Legends never die.

I worked on an investigation into a state drug lab (the kind of lab where the state police send confiscated drug samples to be tested to build a case for conviction) that has f***ed up majorly. While inventorying the lab, I opened a cabinet to find multiple 30-gallon garbage bags full of weed and mushrooms. It was like the beginning of Half Baked.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 03:59 PM) Go to a Cubs game and convince one of their fans that it's the jersey of some up-and-coming prospect in the minors and sell it for $100. Winner. End of day - peace out, D Lee.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 02:54 PM) Ha, well done. Why do I feel like I just got dunked on?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 02:39 PM) All of the hardcore Rays fans use this website Rays Fan Forum Awesome, thanks!

Does anyone have a list of other team sites like Soxtalk? I'm specifically looking for a good one for the Rays, thanks.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 01:41 PM) Where there any stipulations about wearing something over it? or maybe inside out? I have to wear it in the normal fashion for the 8 hours of the work day. After that, I'm free to do anything I want to do with it. Suggestions?

I lost a bet a while ago and have to wear a cubs jersey to work for a day. Today is the day I finally had to pay up. Mortifying sitting around in a Derek Lee jersey all day.

Adam Dunn is going to be in a Matthew McConaughey movie. True story.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 11:50 PM) I love the idea of spin offs, just not those (well Boba Fett could be good, no interest at all in a Han Solo movie). But the Yoda movie rumored could be fun, the rumored Star Wars Seven Samurai inspired movie could be really good and then if you set movies in different time periods in the expanded universe you have a lot of great stories to work with. I can't shake this image at the thought of Star Wars spin offs.

days until Ps and Cs.

Fun read for The Best 50 Baseball Players Not In the HOF. White Sox notes: Shoeless Joe Jackson is ranked 4th. Dick Allen is ranked 12th. Minnie Minoso is ranked 33rd. Harold Baines was ranked 45th last year but dropped out of the top 50 this year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 3, 2013 -> 08:17 AM) His mechanics are much more fluid and safer than Strasburg's. I'm afraid of his inverted-W, as are the folks at Baseball Prospectus. Pictures of Chris Sale That Make Me Uncomfortable

Kanny won 5-3 Buch 5 scoreless with no walks Voyagers @ Billings 8:05 Bristol @ Elizabethton 6 Going to the Knights game, en route right now. Taking the train out from Boston to catch my first Knights game. Very excited as Zach Stewart takes the hill for the PawSox and might be a chan ce to see Veal if/before he gets called up.

Do we have any Wes Anderson fans in here? I'm an absolute nerd about his films; love every one of them. I've been so excited for Moonrise Kingdom to come out but I still haven't gotten out to see it. Fun cast, as always (and Edward Norton? One of my top 5). I know it's in limited release (only two theaters in the greater Boston area so far) but I was wondering if anyone has gotten out to see it yet? The trailer had me smiling the whole time, seems like classic Wes. I plan to be getting out to see it this Sunday and will check back with my thoughts (though I can already say that, judging by the trailer, I'm going to love it).
