Well, this game sucked, but Boston lost so I lose no sleep. I pity the Wolves and Pistons now.

This game is ugly, but I wholly expect Rose to enter it pissed off.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 12:54 PM) Granted, so are Chicago writers/people. Everyone wants their guy to win, it's as simple as that. I think Rose is the MVP of the league, but I understand where these other people are coming from. Yes, but Gutierrez and LeBetard aren't talking about why LeBron or someone else should be MVP, they are talking about why Rose shouldn't.

2011 Video Game Catch-All Thread
QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 11:05 AM) The Blunderbuss and Death (the horse) make RDR: Undead Nightmare really fun. I fell off my chair laughing the first time I shot a zombie with the blunderbuss and he disintegrated. Riding through Jorge’s Gap on Death and seeing all the exploding heads is quite funny too. Shooting zombies with the cannon at one of the forts in Mexico (can’t remember which one) is a great way to pass the time as well. Watching them flying through the air is awesome. Riding through Jorge's Gap on War is fun as hell with a torch. Also, just picked up Mass Effect 2. Realized I made my Commander Shepard look like Nathan Drake.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) I don't know if anyone listened to LeRetard on AM1000 but Silvy smoked him, Silvy gave him a player X and Y with some statisitics and LeBetard took player X (Monta Ellis). Player Y was Kobe Bryant LeRetard ended up saying "well you can't do that without more information" LMAO, that is exactly what his article was based off of Here is the article that he wrote....http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/03/28/2137216/for-chicago-bulls-derrick-rose.html Hell yeah Silvy LeBetard and Gutierrez are such big homers in this, its ridiculous.

From the old guys . . .
QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) Funny thing is, as far as pure baseball knowledge, I would say it is the younger posters here who are the smartest. And yes, I know it's not as same as the "experience" argument you posted after that. (It's always good to ask the older guys here was Aparicio really that good defensively as say.. his fielding above runs average suggest) I don't read his post like I read say... Kal, qwerty (cheat when he was here) or even wite for example. I read his more as pure entertainment for me, but with damn good/strong points (same as fathom). Those are the guys you respect the hell out of and what makes this site that much better IMO. I never said I didn't respect Kal, qwerty, or for a matter of fact, you. The Live Chats during games basically gave me a sense of who knows what they are talking about.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 08:47 PM) Yeah, have to agree with Milkman here. Tex, I'm fairly certain you created this thread with genuinely good intentions. But you keep ending each post with a snide/condescending remark. Like, "I'm going to enjoy this season and I feel sorry for you because you choose not to enjoy it the exact way I do." I'm sure you don't mean it that way. But that's how it can come across. As for me, I had originally planned to stay out of this thread. But what the hell. I've been posting here for eight years. I've never met a single solitary poster from this board. I feel like I know a lot of you, when in reality I don't know a god damned thing. I know Soxace as, well, Soxace. I know Wite as Wite. I know fathom as fathom. And coversley, you guys know me as J4L and only J4L. So if you're to go by a majority of my posts, which is all you can do, you probably come to the conclusion that I'm some angry, bitter, homicidal dude with KW/Ozzie voodoo dolls that I continuously poke at or that I sit around reading books about gypsy curses so I can place a curse on each and every member of the White Sox organization. Now I know I've changed. I'd be a lying fool to deny that. But I'm no less or worse of a fan than I was in '05. And with all due respect, I don't need an older fan(s) to 'lead me into the light' or enlighten me to what the criteria is to being a true or dedicated fan. I love the White Sox as much as you can possibly love a baseball team. I could morph into a triple threat combo of Hawk, Ranger and 2006 Jphat tomorrow and I wouldn't love or be anymore dedicated to the team than I am this second. If I'm unhappy or upset about something, I'll let it be known. If I'm happy or elated about something, I'll let it be known. Do I go overboard at times? Sure. Do I get on other posters nerves? I'm sure I do. But it goes both ways. I won't even read a Scott Merkin piece anymore. Hawk makes me want to feed small dogs to giant snakes. I had to start ignoring (without actually ignoring) ranger aka pink fuzzy bunny, and then you obviously have a large contingent of posters that rather swallow paste than say anything negative about the organization. Does that get on my nerves? Hell yeah it does. But that's the nature of sports and especially when you're talking about message boards. Like I said the other day, this board would suck if everybody were like me, just as it would suck if we had an avalanche of pink fuzzy bunny clones (much love to Irish on that name). I was born in '83. Therefore I obviously wasn't around in the 60's, 70's, and way too young for most of the 80's. So I can't take the, "Well, at least we're competitve every year. This is much better than the 70's" stance that the older crowd does. I've heard many times that the KW tenure has been the best run in Sox history. But when you break it down, that's not saying much. Eight missed postseasons in ten years in a division that doesn't include the Yankees or Red Sox does not a successful tenure make. There is no reason whatsoever that with the resources at their disposal and getting to play the likes of the Indians, Royals and even the Tigers, who've only been really good once in the last decade, 60+ times a year that we should be making the postseason so infrequently. No excuse at all. And the thing is I think KW knows this better than anybody. Anyway, I've babbled on long enough. Just wanted to put that out there. Don't be so quick to label the 'pessimists' because they're not cheery and bubbly all the time. I can't wait to get this season started. Hopefully 95 wins and a postseason appearance is on the horizon. There's no other place to put this really, but even when we disagree I stop to read your posts. As a poster, I respect the hell out of you J4L.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) I don't like how this is brought up as an old fan vs. young fan premise. There are old fans who live and die with every game and b**** about every move more than the young people on this site do and they lived through all the same bad Sox teams. Anyone who has been to a small neighborhood bar in Chicago knows that there are old fans way crazier and more intense than anyone on this site. It just has to do with how people choose to enjoy their sports. Some let it control their life and live & die with every game. Some enjoy it for the sport it is and can step away as soon as the game is over. To each their own. Ding ding ding we have a winner!

I think the Twins finally just die this year. Also, f*** Morneau. I don't care if he's concussed, I hate that guy more than any player in the MLB. I wish he could play 100% just so they could wipe any smirks that f*** has off his face.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) Ozzie was definitely first. You sure? I remember it being on this board before Hawk used it. QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 10:33 PM) That name is trending on Twitter. I don't know if I want D-Rose to be called Windy City Assassin. The last "Assassin" nickname given out was to Javy Vazquez (Silent Assassin by Hawk). Bad, bad memories. Yeah, but Rose isn't silent and he's got ice in his veins.

I know the RealGM Bulls board came up with it, but Stacey used Windy City Assassin like three times in those last minutes. It's like how Hawk got Cuban Tank from this board. Just an intriguing thought that we as fans can actually do that from our computers.
