Only problem is you get no warranty, but like I said, mine lasted 6 months, and they don't wipe your harddrive, so you retain all your data, which was huge for me. Then I took it to Rockford PC the 2nd time, and they offered a 6 Mo. warranty, and holy s*** did I need that. It broke twice since they have fixed it, in about a 2 months span. I don't know if the system just got worse and worse, or if they just did a half-ass job, but it never lasted. They also charged $50, and their warranty included "2 free repairs within 6 months of original fix", so I only paid for the first repair, but it was not fun. I eventually caved and bought a brand new 320 GB PS3 Slim w/ the Move Sports Bundle package. $350 on Amazon. I did live in Kankakee (hour south of Chicago) but now Columbia, Missouri. The place I sent it to is GopherMods by the University of Minnesota. They have a warranty (2 months free, 6 for $30) and have been extremely professional so far. They also keep my data in tact, which was the big plus, so I can back it up.

Brilliant.

Ozzie doesn't like Lady Gaga.

I love how Joe is getting ripped to shreds by the other local media.

PS3 died the other day. Trying out a repair service, if it works, I'll post about it.

They get a WS winning manager whose best years are ahead of him as he's still very young. And the Sox wouldn't extend him? Crazy. We could still have a s*** September and all will look fine in canning Ozzie. But Sox potentially could be mocked over this one if we have a good month. His best years we're 04-08. They are not a head of him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 11:24 PM) Cmon. It's not like they are making up a ton of ground where it's some reason for celebration. This is big business and I applaud Ozzie for answering questions honestly. How can you not love this guy with this quote: "And I am a good manager, even if people don’t think I am. Cocky and arrogant, but there are worse guys out there than me.” He is awesome. Sign him up. Move KW upstairs or whatever. Promote Hahn. Because he's cocky and arrogant while losing.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 11:38 PM) It's not because he likes Cowley, it's because he acts like Joe. And for the record, nobody actually believes that he's Cowley. Mike has been the one joking around about it the most but has already stated that he knows that he's not actually that asshole. Yeah, if Marty were really Cowley, he'd complain on the Score or his Twitter about this website and how we tell our Mexican Manager to go die.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) Dan Black has 98 RBI. LOL. That's ridiculous.

QUOTE (Gldfinger5 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) That's a good point. If anyone (especially Hahn) is brought in, they obviously know what type of situation they're coming into. Who would want that? Kenny is clearly a unique personality when it comes to GMs, but I think he's handled the relationship well, as public as it has been. How many other GM's wouldn't have fired Ozzie on the spot/blasted him in the media right now?

I wouldn't do this. Mainly cause I'm 18.

If Kenny goes, whoever the new GM is won't be able to establish a precedent over Ozzie. Ozzie getting a new GM would spell doom for the franchise.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 10:09 PM) f*** the Twins

Knight Sox!

We have out Twinned the Twins.

Don't bean Dayan. Only bad things happen to those that do.

Who's awesome? Paulie's awesome.

Alejandro strikes again.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Aug 29, 2011 -> 11:46 PM) I don't think that any of us who like de Aza think that he has anything close to the potential bat of Viciedo. They're completely different players. However, de Aza has tools that Viciedo doesn't. His speed and defensive ability make him a potential lead off hitter to replace Pierre next season. This.

Call up Tim Laker.

Please tell me someone tested this.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2011 -> 06:14 PM) I don't understand how people can argue this Rios/Dunn stuff? My god. Do you know how much money they make?? How many years are left on their deals? They play. I hate it as well but that's baseball. You really think our new manager next year is going to sit Rios and Dunn if they get off to s***ty starts? They will play. In '05, Ozzie would have benched them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 29, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) He will learn patience. He's a crappy 3B with no glove and K's a ton with no patience. I'm being facetious Balta.
