I don't know why the graphics for both games can't be the same though, probably because they've had more time to make Madden I guess.

No More El Caballo!?

Isn't it nice to hav a game on in the afternoon for a change, well for me anyways.

Imagine how excited Tony Pena must be, more than usual.

Looks good Alex, don't know if every1 will like the plain black on the sides though, maybe a SoxTalk logo or sumthin?

Easy, who would you rather have, Jeremy Reed and Miggy Olivo, or Dioner Navarro.

Only Ford's really taken a big step up this year, I've heard Cuddyer's and Restrovich as possible trade options for Gil Meche of Seattle.

He's the one guy Houston want to really resign, local boy I think.

Gamespot Review, only got an 8.5. Looks like they are really going have to fix up the graphics for next year's game. Gamespot Review

Zack Grienke's pitching in that one, let's hope he can hold the lead.

Not Jeebus!

Exactly right Cheat, most ppl are amazed Morneau is still down in AAA when he's clearly been slugging the ball down there. Oh well, I hope he stays down there and plays in the Olympics, for our sake.

Haven't heard anything bout I'd doubt it, he's struggling in high A ball right now. I know players like Dave Nilsson and Graham Lloyd will be playing though.

Imagine him and Justin Morneau in the Olympics for Canada, I wish Travis Blackley was still in AAA so he could play for Australia.

I hope the PS2 has a wireless option because I've got a router downstairs in the study, and my PS2 is up here in my room with my Computer. I'll still need to get a Network Adaptor though.

A ROMANIAN who was suing his employers for unfair dismissal fell in love with the judge hearing the case and decided to sue again dozens of times just to get to see her. "I fell madly in love with her and when I found out she was married, I didn't know how I would manage to see her," Sandu Gurguiatu told the daily Libertatea today. "The only way was to see her in the courtroom, so I looked in the law book and came up with all kinds of excuses." Sometimes he would approach Judge Elena Lala in the halls of the courtroom in Focsani, a city some 200 kilometres northeast of Bucharest, but was too timid to talk to her beyond legal matters, the paper reported. Eventually, the infatuation subsided and Mr Gurguiatu decided to go public with his story. Judge Lala, the object of Mr Gurguiatu's affection told the paper she was "stunned." "I remember judging his cases, but for me all cases are equal," she was quoted as saying. Mr Gurguiatu lost his first suit. But he won some subsequent ones against other companies - including the right to have two towels and enough soap to wash up at work.

AFTER almost 30 years of arguing that a black hole swallows up everything that falls into it, astrophysicist Stephen Hawking did a scientific back-flip today. The world famous author of a Brief History of Time said he and other scientists had got it wrong - the galactic traps may in fact allow information to escape. "I've been thinking about this problem for the last 30 years, and I think I now have the answer to it," Mr Hawking told the BBC Newsnight program. "A black hole only appears to form but later opens up and releases information about what fell inside. So we can be sure of the past and predict the future," he said. The findings, which Mr Hawking is due to present at the 17th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation in Dublin on July 21, could help solve the "black hole information paradox", which is a crucial puzzle of modern physics. Exactly what happens in a black hole - a region in space where matter is compressed to such an extent that not even light can escape from their immense gravitational pull - has long puzzled scientists. They initially posited theories that the holes were like a cosmic vacuum cleaner, sucking up everything in their path. Mr Hawking revolutionised the study of the holes when he demonstrated in 1976 that, under the strange rules of quantum physics, black holes are capable of radiating energy. He calculated that once black holes form they effectively start to "evaporate" away, radiating energy and losing mass in the process. But by conjuring up the so-called "Hawking radiation", the Cambridge mathematician, who is crippled by motor-neurone disease, also created one of the biggest conundrums in physics. That conundrum about the fate of what enters a black hole became known as the "information paradox". According to current theory, Hawking radiation contains no information about the matter inside a black hole, and once the black hole has evaporated, all the information within it is lost. However this conflicts with a central tenet of quantum physics, which says that such information can never be completely wiped out. Mr Hawking said that the recapturing the information had important philosophical and practical consequences. "We can never be sure of the past or predict the future precisely," he said. "A lot of people wanted to believe that information escaped from black holes but they didn't know how it could get out." Mr Hawking did not elaborate on the BBC program how the information could be extracted from the black hole. Curt Cutler, from the Albert Einstein Institute in Golm, Germany, which is chairing the meeting in Dublin, told New Scientist magazine that Mr Hawking asked at the last minute for permission to address the conference. "He sent a note saying 'I have solved the black hole information paradox and I want to talk about it'," Mr Cutler said. If Mr Hawking succeeds in making his case, he will lose a bet that he and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) made with John Preskill, also of Caltech. The terms of the bet were that "information swallowed by a black hole is forever hidden and can never be revealed". Mr Preskill bet against that theory. The forfeit is an encyclopaedia, from which Mr Preskill can recover information at will.

Hav a nice time in Wisconsin SoxAce.

Good question, I think you should feel lucky what ever gender your baby will be, but I'd prob say a girl.

From the Boston Herald, Major league baseball returns to the field tonight, but the biggest battle in the game may take place over the phones in the next 2 1/2 weeks. Included in the competition are the New York Yankees [stats, schedule], Anaheim Angels, Chicago Cubs [stats, schedule] and a pair of Sox. The contest: The hunt for Randy Johnson. While there were indications yesterday the Arizona Diamondbacks have had contact with all five clubs regarding a trade for the left-handed ace, baseball sources continued to indicate that Red Sox [stats, schedule] shortstop Nomar Garciaparra [stats, news], too, is being eyed closely. While much speculation has centered on a deal that would send Garciaparra to the Chicago Cubs, one source has indicated the Chicago White Sox [stats, schedule] still have an interest in Garciaparra. As for the Cubs, baseball sources said on Tuesday that the team had little indication Garciaparra was currently available. Over the winter, however, White Sox general manager Ken Williams and Sox GM Theo Epstein had essentially agreed to a deal that would send Garciaparra to the White Sox for outfielder Magglio Ordonez. That deal was dependent on the Sox also acquiring Alex Rodriguez from the Texas Rangers, a trade that fell through when the Major League Baseball Players Association rejected a Sox proposal for the restructuring of Rodriguez' contract. While Garciaparra is eligible for free agency at the end of this season, the White Sox have interest in the player beyond this year. Should Chicago acquire Garciaparra, the White Sox would do so with the hopes of immediately extending his contract, as they did with recently acquired pitcher Freddy Garcia. Acquired from the Seattle Mariners [stats, schedule] earlier this season, Garcia subsequently agreed to a three-year, $27 million contract with Chicago. While it remains unclear what role, if any, Garciaparra might play in a deal for Johnson - the most obvious is in a three-way scenario - the left-hander understandably would command a steep price. Though he will turn 41 on Sept. 10, Johnson is signed through next season, increasing his value to a new team.

That's the bit after they're electrocuted by her right.

I got Cable, I don't know how I ever survived with a dial up connection.

I think he gave that up earlier on in the season.
