QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 16, 2012 -> 10:09 PM) That is such a different situation. That's where the POTUS was assassinated (one of 4, and only one in 100 yrs). That location has such historical insignificance. Not where some "celebrity" actor took too many happy pills. Visiting a site like that is just goofy IMO. William McKinley was assassinated in 1901 - less than 100 years before Kennedy.

Brain Cancer. RIP

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 16, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) Flaxx Brush With Fame: Kate Upton grew up in the Florida town (Melbourne) I live in AND went to the same school as my kids. She is 5 years older than my oldest kid and she used to be one of the kid car line helpers to let the young kids in and out of the vehicles at the start and end of each day. I also judged her 9th grade science fair project. and she was a very nice kid. She was born in a town in my county and her uncle is my Congressman.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 16, 2012 -> 06:22 AM) Same as Zoom, starting to get into Fantasy Sports again (if there's room). I've got SoxBadger deciding to come back or not and one open spot. It's yours if you want it, DBAHO. Send me your email via PM and I'll invite you.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 10:42 PM) I hope that sushi thing wasn't taken seriously. I was just making fun of Floyd Mayweather. No, it wasn't. It was toward people who thought that I was generalizing.

Yes he is from California. He may eat sushi; however, his family's cultural and ethnic history does not include Japanese food (to my knowledge.)

My only issue would be Cubs fans defacing the decorations around the park or stealing souvenirs.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) If you need a replacement guy, I'm down to re-join this league. I'm working on getting my activity level back up. I actually started my draft prep already as a change of pace to my usual laziness. Okay. Send me your e-mail and I'll flip an invite your way.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) Lin needs to go cook some rice and make some sushi rolls. I don't believe that Taiwanese people eat sushi.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 05:11 PM) I now have evidence for my wife to NOT get a breast reduction like she wants: Huge-breasted model walks away from horror crash after her 38KKK chest acts as airbag I'd buy THAT for a dollar!

SoxBadger, Sox1422, are you coming back this year?

So, is this a Diamond Club thread now?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 12, 2012 -> 08:15 PM) It's not necessarily statistics, as much as rumors about his moodiness/surliness...his confrontation with a fan in TOR, the chemistry questions. Clearly, he was tailing off in 2008 and 2009 compared to the previous two years, but the same arguments can be made against Dunn because of the 2nd half of 2010. He has not had any major attitude problems in Chicago and his 2010 stats with the Sox were very good. His "tailing off" looked more like an abherration than an actual trend. If anything, last year was his first major slump outside of his final months of 2009 with the Sox.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 12, 2012 -> 08:00 PM) Rios, sure, there were warning signs and red flags all over the place.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Feb 12, 2012 -> 06:35 PM) Isn't there a certain level of English proficiency required to become a citizen? If she can't speak good enough to run, how the hell did she speak good enough to become legal? She might be able to speak well enough to be understood. Perhaps it's an Ozzie Guillen situation where she has a strong accent and the politicians are just being dicks about it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 12, 2012 -> 12:10 PM) How about RinSanity? QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 12, 2012 -> 03:04 PM) ror That's Lacist!

He's having Allen Iverson injuries. The little guys get beaten down when they play in the forest of the big men.

Cespedes and Soler are investments in the future. That's why they will get money and Buehrle wouldn't.

Cardiac arrest due to past drug usage is a very good assumption.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 11, 2012 -> 07:06 PM) They believe in it for more proven players, not 18 year olds. On average, more than 75% of all drafted players fail to reach the majors. I can see the reason behind the Sox franchise's draft signing frugalness.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Feb 11, 2012 -> 05:36 PM) Jeremy Lin! I'm loving the story.....for another week or so then I'll be tired of it. eBay is going crazy over Lin.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) The Walking Dead starts this Sunday. That really snuck up on me. It has a lot of room for improvement. I hate it when the walking dead sneak up on me.
