I'm in, but last year was my first year (I actually hate the NFL, love college sports, I'm just in it for the competition). I finished in last place last year. That said, I should be the first one bumped/dropped if there is a need to trim the fat in order to have even leagues.

Well, I'm back boys. Last night at the bars in Chicagoland. Tomorrow I'mn going to the game and Saturday I'm on a plane, moving out to DC. Anyone else ready to get f***ed up and die?

I miss jhonnydanks' "Don't stop get it get". It needed to be said.

b****es aint s*** but hoes and tricks

Ace, I have much to learn yet

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 12:51 AM) You must not be reading too well then. He's not even close. With respect to quality, I meant in terms of epicness. If most of Soxtalk knows him for his ridic posts, he must be doing SOMETHING right. It may not be a quality day posting but it's worth a read and a laugh when i'm drunk. And I'm for it.

Oh god, I just drank what I thought was my beer next to my compputer. Turns out, it was yesterday's...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 12:13 AM) I'm chopping all of my action... and mostly power. Streve, while I have minimal time posting, I have been reading Soxtalk for 2 years, and I have learned that you are an expert drunk poster. Having said that, I have no idea what that means, but I would love to learn your ways

Why is this not a pinned thread? I feel like I need to do too much work ot find it, and that is the last thing i want to do when I'm drunk. It's like teasing a midget when all they really need is a booster seat. WHERE IS MY BOOSTER SEAT?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 12:12 AM) I used to feel that way, then I bought a cat. Good play. But in response to others, I am envious of their prowess to manipulate photos into the awesomeness I see in some sigs. I feel like I need to outsource my ideas and ask someone to make a real sig for me...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 12:05 AM) Five of six against the leaders of the other two divisions. That's hawt. 5 of 6 against not only divisions leaders, but the two best teams in the AL (and we all know the AL win the WS, like always). Throw Tampa in there and we've had quite the string of impressive victories. It's just that dastardly Central that we have to defeat...

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) It's hilarious how unused this thread is when it's not during the school-year. College is awesome. As for myself, I'll be hammered in the Caribbean all next week while on a cruise, then back to my apartment at school in 2 weeks. Welcome Week will be a s*** show. Currently a recent grad/unemployed waste of life so I while I'll be missing all of the college kids posting here in the next few weeks, I will be adding posts of my own while sitting in my own waste and squalor. Here's to the economy, at least booze is cheap!

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 11:15 PM) Post of the Week. Out of respect to your posting prowess, I will post this award amongst the many I have achieved. Total awards: 1. But in all seriousness, series wins against the AL's best are a strong barometer of how we will do in the playoffs if we do manage to hold off the rest of the Central. We have a pretty strong schedule coming up; Detroit has a killer schedule starting August 18th, but so we do. Minni has a weak schedule in Sept. so we need them to drop back now so we can gain some distance on them if they make a late season push. Hopefully we can outlast Detroit in the 2nd half of August and put up some distance. To make it easier: Tigers' schedule for this month: home series of Bal, Min, KC, Sea, and TB. Road series of Boston, Oak, and LAA and they string seattle, oakland, angels, and tampa all in a row starting the 18th through the 31st In September, the Twins have: Home: Sox, Oak, Cle, Det Road: Cle, Tor, Sox, KC, Det But they have 6 against KC, 3 with Bal, 4 with Cle, and 6 with Texas remaining in August

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 11:23 PM) Last Friday and Saturday I was too drunk to post in here cause of my buddy turning 21. This Friday.. my friend is leaving for the Army, I'll be at a party with mad liquor, and there will be strippers.. I probably will not be here again.. but I promise you next Saturday after my friend's wedding and after party.. with 4 kegs, mad liquor, etc.. I'll post here. The "going away parties" are always a good recipe for disaster. I'm moving out to DC in two days and I have a sinking feeling that I'll be spending a good deal of time here with no friends in Washington. Here's to solo drinking (and shame)!

Lame, BBTN just got to the Web Gems and I get nothing for 2 minutes. Killin me, smalls

You know what, I don't want to sound like an attention whore but I never got a "welcome to..." response on my first posts. I was looking forward to it after the long wait to finally break the seal of posting a response and then I got no love. Sincerely, Drunk and Jealous

5 posts into an already drunk night, I feel obliged to at least visit this thread. But I have nothing important to add. Bacardi fans? Eh, f*** it.

No matter what happens tomorrow, we need to remember that we just took two series against the 2 best teams in the AL, both 20+ games over .500. And we took it from Tampa. That's a seriously good run for us, setting us up well for the rest of the season. Now let's go get that sweep!

QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 02:26 AM) So we got javy for young, and flowers for javy. Will Flowers be better then Young? Another one of those "questionable" series of Kenny trades... It seems like we're getting rawed, then we see later what he saw in the first place: we flip garbage for talent, flip said talent for a payroll drop, turn that payroll cut into a (potentially) awesome prospect. Use what you can, get more from what you used. Hopefully Flowers shows up, even of 75% of what we expect of him will be worth it considering the transaction trail. Good observation. Hopefully it works out, long-haul.

Is anyone else getting a jazzed up ESPN feed? For the past two days ESPN has been dodging out on me. I don't know where else to post this, still a virgin poster, and I'm drunk. Answer me this, TV gods. WTF? I need my national sports fix without the effort of reading so BBTN is my best bet, and right now they keep blanking every 5 seconds. Anyone else getting this?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 11:28 PM) It's about his image, not the nickname. I don't think he cares about the nickname, it's the fact that the media keeps asking him what that means in reference to women. My guess is his agent and he have a pretty good idea of how big he is about to get, not only in this town, but nationally. Not a good idea to be called a nickname that implies he is a womanizer. I think you've made the best point thus far. He probably is talking long-term affects here, and being known as some shallow womanizer isn't the best for his image. Having said this, I'm probably not going to stop calling him any of the aforementioned nicknames. Nicknames don't have to be something that everyone accepts; I know I have friends that hate their nicknames but they aren't going away. While he may be concerned about his image long-term, it's still fun and innocent to nickname that we can share, although I feel like it was more fun when it was just a Soxtalk thing.
