QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) how can he just leave us like that? the d-rays? c'mon! :banghead i bet u its because the money, just like with maggs. i really liked dave. maybe hes sick of the sox underachieving? PBP is something he's wanted to do for a long time. Even if it is for the D-rays. Traveling to different stadiums all around the country and a bigger paycheck are bonuses...

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) EMHD is by far the best show on TV right now. They can come and rebuild my POS house. Right after they slap the FHA inspector that passed it when it never should have been. He was under investigation right after he inspected our house... :headshake

I guess my situation might be a little different because I have kids. My wife comes along with me to Soxfest and Sox games because she doesn't want to be stuck at home with 3 kids while I'm out having fun. She doesn't drive so she would literally be "stuck". I have an occasional "guys night out" and she'll have an occasional "girls night out" though. Her best friend is supposed to be planning a SB party but I think it's just an excuse to have a party. I doubt either one of them will watch much of the game...

I have a male cousin that is gay and for a long time lived with another man. When I was little I never thought anything of it. Especially at the age where I was watching cartoons. I didn't even know the words 'gay' or 'lesbian' existed much less know what they meant. This is as bad as when they tried to say the purple tellytubby was gay because he carries a "purse" (they call it a bag on the show).

QUOTE(Allsox @ Feb 2, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) HEHEHE....Only on SoxTalk can I see avatars of Contreras hugging Fidel, Shingo huggin Southpaw and a poll rigged Chicago style You must not have been around when we completely destroyed a poll on chicagosports.com. That was fun.

I loved the chicken cordon bleu from Arby's but they took it off the menu last december. Bastards!!! I've been craving Long John Silver's for a little while and they are finally building a new one up the street from us. They tore down the only one in town about 5 years ago or more. Does Boston Market count? It's a bit of a drive to get to one for me but it's always worth it.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) That seems like an interesting one. I'll let someone else take it though. I'm sure it's possible but I've only seen one George Burns movie. Most of the movies he made were way before my time...

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) That was pretty hard. I had to look up which movies Jason Ritter was actually in. Hell, the only one I knew was Freddy vs. Jason...

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 01:52 PM) I thought that Frank Thomas was only in Married With Children. I completely forgot about Mr. Baseball. I've never seen that movie, but I do remember reading something like that. Frank Stallone was the only other Frank that came to mind. I guess we could have done it with Ed O'Neil, Katey Segal, Christina Applegate, etc... They've been in a couple of movies...

Frank Thomas - Mr. Baseball Tom Selleck - Three Men and A Baby Ted Danson - Saving Private Ryan Vin Diesel - XXX Samuel Jackson - A Time to Kill Kiefer Sutherland - Flatliners Kevin Bacon One more time... John Ritter > Jason Ritter

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Frank Stallone>Tombstone Val Kilmer>True Romance Dennis Hopper>Speed Keanu Reeves>Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Alex Winter>Lost Boys Kiefer Sutherland>Flatliners Kevin Bacon Morgan Freeman to Harvey Keitel Frank Stallone?

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) Tom Hanks > Tim Allen - Toy Story Tim Allen > Jamie Lee Curtis - Christmas with the Kranks JL Curtis > John Cleese - A Fish Called Wanda John Cleese > Michael Palin - And Now For Something Completely Different Michael Palin > Kevin Kline - Fierce Creatures Kevin Kline > Colin Hanks - Orange County Happy? Not really cause I already beat you to it...

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) I don't know what else he was in, but I know he was in "Orange County" a couple years ago. Tom Hanks - Green Mile Micheal Clarke Duncan - Armegedon Ben Affleck - mall rats jay and silent bob(forget their real names) - Jay and silent bob strike back Jason Biggs - Saving Silverman Jack Black - Orange County Colin Hanks Another father/son combo: John Ritter > Jason Ritter.

Both accidents happened while the sleds were being pulled by an ATV. The one where the kids were killed happened because it was dark out and they veered into the oncoming lane. The babysitter was on the sled with the kids but only suffered a broken arm. Sad...

Then they arrested her friend for murder and found her body... :headshake Both my parents grew up in the Quad Cities and I still have a lot of family down there.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) Rhetorical huh? Wow, there's a new one for me. But if a point has been made to the contrary, that question becomes unnecessary. But it's good to see you not completely miss the point and that you don't need to resort to being a smartass to try to make one. Let's say your read in a weekly publication at work that 'Steff will be a huge part of the company's plans for 2005'. Two weeks later, you find out that the company went out and hired someone with your same title and will be paying them a good salary. I suppose your company has done nothing wrong and you wouldn't be upset or say anything to anyone about it? They traded for Alomar twice and picked up Uribe to at least split time at second. It seems to me that it was obvious to every one except Willie that they didn't think he could handle starting at 2B. He's just now figuring this out and compaining about it in the paper??? Willie should take his que from Aaron. He never once complained about them trading for Kenny Lofton or putting Jose Valentin out there. He just kept his mouth shut and worked hard. Look where it has gotten him now...

It's amazing that he happened to be recording when this happened. http://members.cox.net/naw-t/I_got_hit.wmv

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) It would actually help standardize the schedule doing away with the terrible two & 1 game series that exist now with these crazy off days. Every series would be a 3 gm series. Each team would play 54 series. Ex: Sox vs ALC: 4 teams, 7 series = 28 vs ALW: 5 teams, 2 series = 10 vs ALE : 5 teams, 2 series = 10 vs NL : 6 teams, 1 series = 6 Just over 1/2 of the series will be against division rivals. The way it should be. The Cubs would consume 2 of the 6 teams for the Sox. Throughout the year there would be 54 IL matchups. About 9 a month. That still allows 126 IL matchups during the exclusive play period in June. You kinda missed the point. Let me write it out for you. Here are some matchups I just threw together using the 15 AL teams you listed. NYY vs BOS Pitts vs Bal Tor vs Sox Cle vs Milw Det vs Rays Oak vs Sea Tex vs ANA KCR vs ??? Who are the Royals supposed to play? The NL team that doesn't have an opponent??? You have to have an even number of teams in each league or else you will have this situation every single day...

I used to work at a Kay-Bee toy store and my boss tried to make me return a couple of Frank Thomas starting line-up figures because they hadn't been on the shelves for 24 hours before I bought them (company policy). The truth was he took them off the truck when they came in and hid them in the back room. I found them and bought them for myself. He did this with a lot of the collectable figures (Star Wars, Spawn, etc.) so he couldn't do anything to me because he knew I would turn him in as well...

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) 15 in AL, 15 in NL You can't have an odd number of teams in each division. One team would be left without an opponent for each series. Unless you had interleague play all year long...

Yea, fish and paint are similair too. They both come in many colors, they both don't have feet and they both hate turpintine...

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 02:53 PM) Your missing the point. He took the easiest step in signing the new guy. The harder part is getting rid of the guy you want gone. Willie needs to go and a UIF needs to be brought in. Simple as that. The final 25-man roster hasn't been set yet. He can send Willie down to the minors and call up someone like Wilson Valdez(I hope I got that name right) to be a backup...
