Remember the players now carry business cards around that have vouchers for free tickets on them. If you meet him, ask for some free tickets.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 07:48 AM) I just realized the team's slump cold be traced to the broom smiley? You couldn't be more wrong with this. During one of our early sweeps, someone stated that they wished we had a broom smiley. Since I knew of one, I posted it. Since then we have had the opportunity to use that smiley several times, so don't pick on the broom, man!!

Nice effort all around.

Any updates on where you are at in the voting?

I LOOOOOVE THIS SMILEY!!! And in case we forgot... :sosasucks

We finally didn't s*** the bed on National TV. Nice to see the O show up again.

You got another vote, Pods...I mean Ryan.

I love it when I get to use this smiley... This really makes that Oakland debacle an ancient memory.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 05:34 AM) what is all this stuff about " cans of corn?" LOL...That's just Hawks way of describing a lazy fly ball to the outfielder for an easy catch. You see, back in the day the cans of corn were kept on the very top shelf at the grocery store and they had to use a stick to knock it down off the shelf. When it fell, it wasn't a hard line drive, just kind of fell off the shelf for an easy catch by the shopper. When the outfielder catches that lazy fly ball, they look like they are catching a "can of corn". In the upcoming Red Sox series, you are gonna hear Hawk call Boston the "Carmines". That is just his slang term for the Red Sox. Carmine is the color of red in their uniforms.

A family friend won a seat to the main event on-line and he was still in it as of this morning, but I just saw that he busted out. But he did win just over $21K. Not bad for an amateur.

Since we aren't dropping names, it is kinda hard to discuss things. It does seem that players are being ULTRA aggressive though. I can't believe the number of all-in's and players that are already gone. In my eyes, the point of the first few rounds is just survival and then once you are in the money, make your move. Don't risk it all without a premium hand. Don't get involved in pots with an A-2 and risk being busted on a higher kicker. Just fold it and wait. The blinds and Ante's weren't high enough at that point since there were 10 players at a table and you would get to see 9 deals before you get hit with the big blind again. Waiting for a hand does suck, but it's worse to be knocked out with a marginal hand. I guess so many people see Gus Hansen play that way they think they can too. Do you think another Amateur is gonna win it? I do. I would be happy making the final table though...Instant Millionaire.

I drive a '96 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 - 4.0 Litre. It has about 145K on it and still going strong. I will keep it until it dies, so I have a vehicle to tow my boat with. And the wife has a 98 Honda Accord V6. That only has 78K on it and is still in great shape. As soon as I get my new job, we are going to get a Honda Odyssey or a Toyota Sienna.(Yeah Minivan's. I'm too old to worry about being cool. I want functional for the kids).

How do you turn on the 3D that was mentioned???

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) We need a faint smiley. Here you go!!

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) the smiley was my idea And I provided it.

I LOOOOOVE it when we get to use this icon!!!!

You forgot: Dave Beeth-oven and Dennis Frood.

So they are doing research because the fish is facing extinction and they go and kill one...Hmmmmm. Doesn't sound too smart.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) How about a Buerhle rules smiley? Will this one do??

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 10:11 PM) Someone broke the bat off the Minnie statue in center field. I saw it today! :headshake f***ing cub fans. (Hey, if they blame us for the dead Ivy then I'm blaming them for this). Too bad it won't get the media coverage that the Ivy incident got.

QUOTE(chisoxfanforever @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) I do not want to face all the cub fans at work tomorrow. Despite the fact that the series for the year is 3-3, this weekend will be rubbed in my face all week! I HATE the cubs! And their fans. I am so glad not to have them back at our park for another year. Just tell them to look at the teams records and get back to you!!!

FUUUUUUCK!

The "dreaded" lead off walk...Now make them pay!!
