It's about time for the Greg Walker vote of confidence article... Same s*** every season. Horrible April, okay May, Sluggin' June/July, Meh August, Absolute-Dogs***-Choke-Job-September... Don't know if anyone has seen the Sept. schedule, but there are 26 games IN A ROW vs. the AL central. I fully expect a 6-20 run for those games AT BEST

It took some spins, but damn The People's Key is really f***ing good. Highlights for me: "Jejune Stars" "Triple Spiral" "Ladder Song" "One for You, One for Me" Still plenty of awesome albums coming out this year. I can't f***ing wait...

Forgot to add that Danny Pudi told me he's gonna be throwing out the first pitch June 5th. Sox vs. Tigers.

Check the floor, cause I'm about to drop some names... So Donald Glover (Troy from Community) tweeted last night that he was at a Bar in LA with Danny Pudi (Abed) and it was an open bar for an hour for any of their fans to come out. It was only about a 15 minute drive from our place so my girlfriend and I decided why not. So it took us 15 minutes to get there, then an additional 15 minutes to find parking (hip part of town) We go in and Donald GLover is at the door, greeting us and thanking us for coming out to see them and get free drinks haha. Suddenly I hear someone scream "YES!" and point at my Sox jacket I happened to be wearing. It was Danny Pudi reacting to it since as I mentioned he's a HUGE Sox fan. Chatted with him about the Sox for a while and he's a real fan, super knowledgable, talking about the health of Peavy being a key to the season and his hatred of the Twins haha Both guys were super nice, personable dudes. And I got a few free Newcastles so I can't complain...

http://rope.foofighters.com/ WOW. I haven't enjoyed a Foo song like this since Colour and the Shape. I hope it doesn't get my expectations up too high (like with every album since Colour and the Shape haha) most of their stuff since then has like 4 or 5 good songs and then filler (to me)

In case anyone didn't know, Danny Pudi who plays Abed in Community is from Chicago and is a HUGE Sox fan....If any one needed another reason to love that show... http://lxtv.com/1stlookchicago/video/10839

Me and my girlfriend are going to see Donald Glover perform the next two saturdays in LA, hopefully he doesn't think we're stalking him.... "Set phasers to love meee"

Stay Classy, Leyland...

They are doing Top 100 players in baseball right now... #48 - Adam Dunn #47 - Paul Konerko I have a feeling those might be the only representative's the Sox will have

Not a single mention of Arcade Fire winning the Album of the Year Grammy? I didn't watch but looked ahead (on the west coast) and saw they won. SHOCKING choice... And the masses were NOT happy haha http://whoisarcadefire.tumblr.com/

Another list they're doing is the 20 Greatest Games, of which the White Sox will not show up, but before they narrowed it to 20 they had choices from every decade from the 60's (i think) till now, and not ONE White Sox game was in the possibilities to be the 20 greatest....

I don't know if any of these have been done before, but here's some ideas, feel free to add any you want.... Entertainment Category Best TV Series Finales Best TV Pilots Best Movie Villains Best Rom-Coms Best Debut Albums Food Favorite Fast Food Burger Sports Favorite Super Bowls (Excluding XX) Favorite World Series (Excluding 2005) Favorite NBA Finals (Minus the Bulls' Six) etc. Top Comebacks - Any Sport

I don't think there has been a team since the '03 Marlins who have less of a chance to repeat than the Giants. Even with Lincecum/Cain/Bumgarner, They had so much go right in '10 and followed by a very quiet off-season....And that division is always tough and close...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) Shocked to see the Tigers 5th... Their guest analyst is Rod Allen, the Tigers announcers, so I assume that's the only reason they're so high up...

Another list for you all to digest: Top 9 POWER RANKINGS pre-srping training: 9. Brewers 8. White Sox 7. Cardinals 6. Rangers 5. Tigers 4. Yankees 3. Giants 2. Red Sox 1. Phillies SHOCKED to not see the Twins on there....

I mentioned it in the catch all thread when the episode aired, but no Rios is a joke.... And for those who didnt see the SS episode, the reason they mentioned Alexei being so high on the list was "defensive issues..." that's just straight dropping the ball like ignorance....

Modern Family has been missing waaaaaay more than it's been hitting this year. At least to me....

I didn't really have any desire to watch the Chicago Code, but it seemed like in the previews NO ONE HAD and accent. I'm not even from Chicago anymore, but I know 2 chicago cops, both have the thickest accents. I think they're thicker than most of the population of Chicago for some reason. Did people have accents, or should I say the correct accents? or is it like most WWII movies where the Nazi's had british accents for some reason Also, it's just FX, not F/X

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/02/jerm...Trade+Rumors%29 What a sad ending to a pretty classy guy and good ballplayer....

When Milledge was in the minors, and top ranked, what was his ceiling supposed to be?

Could the Sox offer Ben Sheets, I don't know, a new iPod Touch to prove he still has an elbow?

Random Observation: I've never seen ANY old footage of Jackie Robinson playing the field. I have no idea what position he played... I've only ever seen him running, hitting or stealing home...

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) Played Catcher once, lefty. Royce Clayton Vacuum at short, unfortunately hit like one too... Chad Bradford

I'm so afraid Teahen will bust a Brian Anderson in ST, knocking the cover off the ball, then April comes around and he can't buy a hit....

My idea is I want to win one. Almost 10 years on this board and jack squat to show for it. I would say I'm the Susan Lucci of Soxtalk, but I don't even think I've been nominated for anything.... An Honorary Pandering Award perhaps?
