QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 07:05 PM) It gave it a 8.8..... reading helps. they said it wasn't really an improvement over last year

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/639/639607p1.html ^review It states what i had figured. This year's game just isn't that good. The flashlight thing just looks like a pain in the ass. We'll see what other reviews come out i guess.

i've certainly had moments like that.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Hart + Henne=Success look out for purdue as a darkhouse in the big 10

I finally watched "the pirates of the carribean" in its entirety today. Gotta say i was distracted most of the time because the score used int he movie is that same as the one used in the sox intro video at games. God i love that song.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) Quick question for the more optimistic posters on this site: Are you happy with this offensive personnel we have right now? It seems like every team we play, they have a better lineup than we do now. Thankfully, our pitching is better than almost every other team. However, it still means that we actually have to "outslug" other teams. A very strange contrast to last year, indeed. i'm worried about the lineup, yes....that's why i desperately wanted an impact bat at the deadline. The situation never came up so we couldn't, oh well. While on paper, the lineup is pretty bleak, we haven't won all these games w/ a drastically different lineup. Seems like there's always someone that steps up each and every game. This team doesn't have a true MVP in the lineup, these 70 wins are a group effort and will continue to be.

and in response to Lcr's long and smart post, i'll respond with this: "I'd like to buy the world a coke, take time to stop and smile." God i hate tha commercial

look for illinois to have a decent year, maybe even in a bowl hunt. Next year is where it's at though. Zook's has one of the top recruiting classes already

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) Question: Does anyone feel like this team has lost their swagger? It used to seem like we just expected to come from behind and win the game. Lately, it just doesn't seem to be there (not counting Baltimore). i've been saying that for the past 3 weeks or so. You just don't feel like you KNOW they're going to come back now.

jenksypoo is good

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 09:03 PM) Give me a logical explanation of why Freddy started the 9th inning against the tigers on the last home stand after throwing well over a hundred pitches and having a 1 hour rain delay. Maybe its because he was better than anyone in our pen, or maybe he is putting the wood to a relative of Ozzie. criticize ozzie, fine....he deserves it alot of the time. but don't be dumb about it

what in god's name is hawk talking about?

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) Umm...I'm fairly sure the 'I' is safe, as would be the Nike-generated 'FSU' sign that Florida State uses. i know, but in the article, it has the list of schools. The logo they use on that list is the I while the logo they use for FSU is the seminole. ah well, this thing isn't going to go away

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) Thomas will accept a fair contract from the Sox even if its less than what another GM is offering. that's what i'm hoping.....

youppi rules. but LCR, i do understand the beef about the chief at halftime during games, but that would be the only complaint i understand. I understand that side since it is a white student doing it But the other stuff i just don't get. Does saying the word illini really offend them? Does a pretty symbolic logo offend them? It's nothing like the cleveland indians logo. Guess i just don't understand how its offensive. And your right, Lincoln hall is a dump and a half

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) He has no choice, whose going to shell out a fat contract for an injury prone player who barely played this season? I really believe its up to management to decide if Franks gonna stay. Frank wants to stay and will stay if it was up to him, thers no doubt in my mind about it. i'm willing to bet a GM will be willing to take a chance on frank and throw some money at him.

yep, that illinois I is real offensive.

QUOTE(Nokona @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) That's been changed this year by Cubs fans. if your referring to the "disaster shirt" those have been around a loooooong time, dissing the sox.

rowands wife was pretty cute.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:38 PM) If Thomas is even able to play next year, whether it's here (it better be) or anywhere else in MLB, he's going to have renegotiate a contract. Frank definitely knows that; he was saying the same thing before he went down for good. which is why i think we'll find out frank's true feelings during all this. Is he going to be willing to take a major paycut to finish his career here? we'll see

i'd like to see him finish here as much as everyone, but if he's not willing to negotiate a new contract, then it's not worth it, plain and simple. Saying that, i sure hope he travels with the team, come playoffs.

someone get me the pic of hawk w/ the wig.......now
