QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 10:16 PM) So who is fake-Locke? Or what season do I go back to remind myself ? Fake Locke is the smoke monster being controlled by Dark Jacob (that's what I call the guy who said in S5 Finale "Do you know how badly I want to kill you?", because he was wearing dark colored clothes and Jacob was wearing white clothes... and the show has always kept the Dark vs Light theme going)

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 09:40 PM) What year are they in? Originally I thought "1977, look at all the hippie clothes!" But Cindy is at the temple, and she was part of Flight 815, so I'm guessing 2007

last month/month and a half of 2009 season i started getting all sox and cubs broadcasts non-blacked out, kind of odd.... not sure if anyone else here had the same happen to them (i live in central IL, near pekin/peoria)

Aaaaaaand... it still doesn't support Flash, because of Apple's strict Appstore policies I'll pass, which is sad because I initially was kind of interested in this

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 15, 2010 -> 05:56 AM) I'm only in the 1-3 area right now (school started right when I started getting into it) but the game is indeed fantastic. Soul Level 142 now, on my 3rd play through. Fully upgraded dark silver shield +5, sticky longbow +5, uchigatana +10, quality secret dagger +5, plus unlocked northern regalia, meat cleaver, blueblood sword, lava bow, large sword of searching, morion blade, needle of eternal agony, still have a few weapons left to upgrade... dozer axe, insanity catalyst, and scraping spear game has so much replay value it's ridiculous, it's the only PS3 game I've bought besides GT5 Prologue, and I've gotten my $60 worth and more that's for sure

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Some great quotes so far: - Kenny says no Soxfest surprise - Kenny says he wanted to bring in an ace so that Floyd/Danks can see what one does and how they go about the game - Mark Gonzalez tweets that Jenks is in great shape and any negative feelings are past him KW: "MBINAA."

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) Thornton will be closing by season's end. I bet. Cowley reporting that Jenks looks "at least" 25 pounds lighter as of today. If anyone here is at Soxfest, post about how Jenks looks physically compared to last year please, I'd be interested in hearing about it

Sounds to me that a lot of people here don't even have "high" expectations for this team, just "reasonable expectations" I don't see how anyone who pays attention to what other teams in this division are doing, can say we aren't the favorite as of right now to win this division Minnesota has Mauer, Morneau and to a lesser extent Kubel coming off a career year, moving outside of the metrodome (this fact seems to slowly become less acknowledged, and it's a huge factor in how their team will perform). They also have a starting rotation full of question marks. Which Nick Blackburn is the real one? Baker and Slowey are huge question marks as well. How will their team defense be affected by playing outdoors, especially in April and May when it's still cold Their bullpen also has question marks, outside of Nathan Detroit is trying to do what Kenny did last year, and that's rebuild on the fly. Dumping CG for cheap talent who may or may not perform well, given a starting position, and losing Rodney for Valverde. Their starting rotation is less questionable than Minnesota's due to having a true ace, and possible legit #2 , but Verlander (RHP) > Porcello (RHP) > ??? (Scherzer) > ??? (Bonine) > ??? (Bonderman) is going to most likely force their offense to score a lot of runs to win games, something we hopefully won't have to do

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 12:06 PM) 2006 without even a second thought. How do you predict that the pitching staff would fall off that badly? It's not about predicting the staff would fall apart, and you have to admit.. baseball tends to average things out for guys who aren't perennial studs, like Garland and Contreras (and to an extend sweaty freddy...though freddy was pretty good early on in his career)

Just curious what people here think with regards to which Sox team they had higher expectations for, going into the seasons of 2006 and 2010 I have a feeling the majority of people here will initially say 2006 due to the 05 WS, and addition of Thome However after thinking about it for a while, I'm leaning towards 2010 as I think it should be a better team overall, with better talent in the bullpen, starting lineup, and rotation. We should also have an overall easier time winning the division as I don't think there will be a 3-team race going into late September The addition of Peavy, excitement surrounding Gordon Beckham, and having a solid team defense for the first time since 2004-2005 has me pretty anxious

"It's not even...a ..twist off...."

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...T-sox15.article My god, I can't wait for ST to start... and another $150-200 on MLB.tv for spring training games plus (crossing fingers) 2010 having no blacked out Sox games, like they did towards the end of 2009

anybody have demons souls? love this game, currently lvl 106

My favorite episode is probably "The Pool Guy" lots of memorable moments, worlds colliding, movie phone, CPR, and my favorite quote... George: "Laughing, lying and laughing!"

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) Just for forewarning when Ozzie starts Visquel at DH, I’m going to call for his head. I might not mean it in the long-term, but I’ll be pretty pissed off if it happens consistently. I hope Vizquel is a late inning guy, or allow Alexei to DH a couple times a month. Vizquel should never be playing as a DH, there's little sense to it

It's not a PED, it was a substance abuse problem.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 5, 2010 -> 10:26 AM) I didnt read anything about the technology behind it. I HOPE it wont be those silly red/blue glasses. If you are going to do it, do it right. the glasses have clear, polarized lenses, no more red+blue

MLBTR stating that Beltre turned down deals from two other teams offering him more years, the BoSox deal is a 1 year with a 2nd year PO

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 2, 2010 -> 11:11 PM) I would rather T-Flow in AAA starting, then in MLB playing once a week. Well he said splitting time with DH and AJ, so he would be hitting every day or nearly everyday. He just wouldn't be catching everyday The only problem with that is we wouldn't have many open lineup spots for guys like Kotsay and Jones or even Vizquel, without pulling starters out of games on a weekly basis I don't mind giving guys days off but you don't need to do it on a weekly basis

Rogers being known as a baseball moron isn't anything new In fact, after listening to The Score on a daily basis, those sentiments are largely reflected throughout Chicago

I told my father this, and I'm sticking by my guns....although I could be wrong of course My prediction: Hudson and/or Flowers will not be part of the White Sox organization before opening day, I have a strong feeling about this

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Dec 27, 2009 -> 01:23 PM) The game is on WGN. However, you may have WGN America, which is not the same. Basically, if you are not in the viewing area you won't be able to see the game. The issue is that while WGN is a superstation, the Hawks cannot be broadcast on WGN America, it has to be local. The league only allows national broadcasts to be done by Versus. That blows, we are able to see the CSN games and versus games, but not WGN. bleh
