Then I would have to put my big girl panties on, suck it up and get over it!! Also, I may have to buy a winter coat!! LOL EDIT: Not those kind of "big girl panties" ...thank you Shipps for bringing this to my attention!!

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 01:00 PM) See I'm the opposite lol its nice to go in Winter because its much warmer than back at home, sometimes we can even go outside without a jacket on! But we did get stuck on top of a hill that was completely iced over one Christmas for like a week as well. LOL I would hate any place that has colder winters than Arkansas ...I spend my winters in California!!!

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 12:43 PM) Grandparents and Aunt/Uncle and used to be Great grandmother too , but Mostly in Bella Vista, closest big town I guess would be Fayetteville and than I visit the Fort Smith area often too. Ahhh, so you are mostly in the Northern Ar. area! Nice! I have tons of family in the little rock/ Conway area. I'm in Arkansas a few times a year myself. I love it there, just not in the winter!! LOL

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 12:30 PM) Well Im in Arkansas at least twice a year so now Im going to have to make a stop in little rock preferably on a Wednesday Really? What part and what takes you there?!

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 12:25 PM) My friend went to one of those in Oklahoma and said they had nights where beer was only a penny. Yep! Wednesday is ladies night ..that's when women get in free before 10 and drinks are like $1. They always have really great live bands. (That's where I saw Billy Currington) AND they have a mechanical bull!! LOL

I don't drink anymore, but when I did ...my very favorite place to go was The Electric Cowboy in Little Rock Arkansas!!! Sounds silly, but the music is good, the prices are reasonable, the dance floor is spacious and the people are great!!

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 11:16 AM) You know I will dude. She has no control over me! I am my own man! I'm gonna go ahead and call "Bull Shipp" on this statement!!! No married woman has zero control of her man ..that scenario just doesn't exist!! LOL

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 09:25 AM) This post confirms a lot of theories I've had about how most women think for a while now. Thanks. (Seriously). Hey, it's not a problem at all ..I'm here to tell the truth!! LOL

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 10:19 AM) I actually read a good intro book on evolutionary psychology and there is actually a reason behind why that works. Basically they figure that the first girl has already done the scouting work on the guys, so they go off of their approving of this person as evidence that they should also approve. I smell Bull s***!! Women don't care if another woman has "approved" or not, it's all about the competition. NOTHING ELSE. You guys are putting wayyy too much thought into this ...SERIOUSLY ...They just want to better than other women and if they can get that guy to choose them over the other woman, they count that as a win for them. THAT'S ALL!!!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 10:40 AM) Ricky Brooks to the DL, Andrew Dobies released, Matt Long has gone to Bristol to rehab I'm assuming, Jacob Rasner has been demoted to W-S, Miguel Socolovich has been promoted to Charlotte, along with Leesman, Kyle Bellamy and Eduardo Escobar have been promoted to B'ham and Kyle McCulloch has returned to B'ham. He's supposed to start tonight, play 2 innings and then Heidenreich comes in.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) A woman is attracted to a guy another woman is seemingly attracted to. It makes her think, hmm, there must be something to this guy, because that girl is obviously interested in him for some reason. It's the same as when you see a girl, and she might just seem so-so, but then you see some good-looking dudes interested in her, and you think, hmm, she must be really good at _____ or else why would those dudes be hitting on her? It's quite the phenomenon. Edit: one of the reasons wearing a wedding ring can work as a great prop... UUHHhh I love ya to pieces, but this is FALSE!!! It has nothing to do with what she realizes she might be missing that gets her interested in a guy another girl is talking to, and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that women just don't like other women!! She sees a woman talking to a man that she knows is interested in her and wants that girl to know "hey, back off my s***!" lol ...she doesn't care to be with that guy, but she doesn't want him moving on to another woman. It's a sad and ridiculous reality, but it is, in fact, REALITY! Wedding rings are a red flag for me ..but a lot of women see them as a challenge! This can only be explained by the fact that ..well ...women are scallywags!! And that's the nicest way I can say it! LOL ..Chase DOES NOT wear a ring, even though he'd like to! As far as a woman being a great wing man is concerned, DO IT!! If you can find a girl who is willing and has good intentions, then you couldn't possibly have a better wing man. I have been the wing man more than once and I love it!!

Ryan Buch and Tyler Saladino promoted from Bristol to Kanny. Rob Cummings moved down from GF to Bristol for more playing time. Bristol receives a new player whose name Chase does not yet know. He hasn't had a chance to speak with him, the kid just showed up on the bus this morning!!!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) As a female, do you also believe she's going to be shacking up with the ex when she visits him? I mean, I am 100% positive about that. Yes, I do! If she's still hung up on him and he wants to bone her down, she'll do whatever it takes to make him happy and be in his good graces. Chances are they will have sex, but he obviously doesn't want her or he'd be with her ..so she's the one being strung along right now ..i'd just leave her alone and let her figure it out on her own!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 11:57 AM) You're a bloody Gideon! LMFAO ...NOT EVEN CLOSE!! I don't care about what other people do or believe, I was just telling you all how we do it! I"m not ashamed or embarrassed of it and could care less if people judge us for it ...I'm sticking with what works for us!! I don't see a reason not to! We don't go to church every Sunday or anything like that, but we do believe in God. There's really no reason for that to offend anyone so it doesn't bother me to post it on here ..it's our business how we handle our lives, and your business how you all handle yours!

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 11:44 AM) Ok, so if you eat the candy can I eat.. well... you get the idea Absolutely not!!! ..You may share the candy with me, if you'd like, though!

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) Do I get to eat the candy off of her? If so, I"m in. NO ...you don't ...the candy is mine ..I've always been a fan of hers so I believe that gives me the right to lay claim to it! LOL

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 11:58 PM) What about the horrible spelling in half her song titles? I don't think it's because she can't spell correctly, Katy is a woman that prides herself on being different than the crowd, that probably has something to do with why half her titles are misspelled. I do the same thing sometimes, I know how to spell, but sometimes it gets boring and I just like to see the word differently. lol

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) I was actually looking for that thread as well. I've got myself in a confusing situation. There's a girl I met through my co-worker about a year back. I hadn't seen her for a long time until the beginning of May when I invited her and her friend out along with a bunch of others for my birthday. We ended up kissing, had a good time, she gave me her number, etc. A few days later I called her and talked to her, asking if she wanted to get together. She says she isn't over her ex that she was in a long relationship with and wanted to be friends. I see her last night for the first time since then when I was out with a group of friends (I invited her roommate to join us and she came along). Well, ended up kissing again, she was very flirty. However, I know she is supposed to go see her ex sometime in the next week or two out of town. Do I make another move and risk rejection again? Wait for her to make a move? Thoughts? Quick edit: don't mess with the win streak! Just thought I'd offer some advice from a female's POV .....Leave her alone! She's got baggage (the ex)! She's playing head games with you, unfortunately, that's one of the greatest powers of a woman ..her ability to know just exactly what she has to do to keep you interested without having to commit. You, are a "back burner" guy, her reserve, so to speak ..why would you settle for that? She's not over the ex ..A.K.A. even if she did commit to you, she would cheat on you with him in a heart beat! ..let her go man, let her go! Trying to hold on to something that doesn't want to be kept, only gets you dragged through the dirt!! DO NOT pursue ..if the occasional flirt n make out is what you're looking for, then that's what you'll have when you run into her ..but anything more than that, she's no good for it. I say these things, not to discourage you, but just to offer a dose of honesty from the female perspective!!! I hope it helped ..even if it's just a smidge!!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 10:06 AM) I was being dead serious. It's awesome seeing baseball from a different perspective then we are used to, the real life side of it, and it's a bit humbling, if you will. We sit here on our computers and talk constantly about what players are good, what players are garbage, who the Sox should trade for, and so on, and yet never get to see the personal sides of these guys. So you bring that, and it's really, really awesome. Thank You!! Like I've said before, I have known Chase since elementary school so he's just Chase Blackwood, the kid who was friends with my brother, from Taft. CA., to me!! I get a little embarrassed when I see kids flocking for his autograph, I guess just because I know how completely normal he is! ..He doesn't tell people what he does when he's home, or even during the season. He doesn't want people liking him for being a baseball player.. He says "If they like you just because you play baseball, what happens when you don't?" ..and I agree with that! Here's just an example of what I'm talking about; The other day he went to get his hair cut at a little place in Bristol, VA. He said it was packed, mostly women. The woman that was cutting his hair could tell he wasn't from around there and asked him, he told her he was from California ..she then asked him what brought him to little bitty Bristol ..he just told her "a job", hoping that would be enough, but it wasn't ..she then asked him what kind of job and he told her "just a game" AND SHE STILL DIDN'T TAKE THE HINT!!! ..she said "ohhh, what kind of game?" ..he QUIETLY told her he played across the street at the ballpark ..then she freaked out "OMG you're a baseball player here?" ..he said everyone n there was in awe and wouldn't stop questioning him about it ..he was thoroughly embarrassed and could not wait for his hair cut to be over!! LOL That's just the guy that he is, very humble and the nicest person you could ever meet! If you all ever have ANY questions about Chase or how he handles things, please don't hesitate to ask. I would love nothing better than to answer them for you!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 06:54 PM) I think he was serious. I also liked the post he was quoting too. It sounds like you and Chase have the fortitude and attitude needed to survive and thrive in a lifestyle like the one he has in the minor leagues. Hopefully he can perform well and move up the ranks. Wow. Thank You so much, that means more to me than you probably realize, I really appreciate that!! I don't know you all stand as far as religion goes, and I'm certainly not one to push anything on anyone ..to each his own is the way I feel about it! ..BUT for Chase and myself, praying, reading and believing has been a HUGE part of makes us so strong. We don't get down when negative things arise because we believe that everything always falls into place for us how it's supposed to, and even if it's not happening the way we'd like to be happening at the time, there is a lesson to be learned and it's happening for a reason. So we keep our heads up, practice patience and wait. Other than that, we just rock each others' socks off!! LOL

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) Yeah I saw that music video the other day and I have a new found love for Katy Perry. It's because you're a wise man!! haha

QUOTE (SuperSteve @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 12:14 PM) I don't really understand this list but I guess everyone has their own opinions. Has anyone seen Prince of Persia? I think Gemma Arterton is gorgeous. She plays the princess and the love interest of Jake Gyllenhaal. She was also a Bond girl in Quantum of Solace. WOW! She is Gorgeous!! Great Taste!!

Katy Perry FOR ANYONE WHO EVER SAID SHE ISN'T CURVY!!! The girl is FREAKING GORGEOUS!!!
