Yea, I think PK just needs a rest and to heal up...there is no way he's actually this bad all of a sudden...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 22, 2008 -> 06:51 PM) Jim Thome is hitting .214 and still has a higher OPS than Chone Figgins. No. Thome looks like he's just starting to heat up, and doing anything to drop him from the roster at this point would be foolish. Yea, I agree, no thanks to this "rumor". This is just stupid.

This isn't even a comparison. Seriously, Shattner vs Caruso in 2008 is akin to Hulk Hogan vs Iron Mike Sharpe in 1985.

Well, since my parents are very poor, I convinced them all I ever want to eat is mustard and relish sammiches. It's an endearing story.

Yes, I play. It's a nice summer BBQ game that anybody can play.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) The problem is NO ONE gets a regular coffee at Starbucks because they suck unless you are getting there specially made stuff.DD regular coffee tastes great and doesnt need that extra flavor. I get regular coffee at *$ all the time, I like extra strong coffee like that. And a large at DD where I work costs 1.97 with tax, though I have seen it somewhat more expensive by 10-20 cents at other DD's.

This is dumb. Whoever wrote that article is dumb.

You all need to find a better hobby.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 08:26 AM) I love coffee just as much as the next person but six cups a day cant be healthy. Yea, that's like an insane intake...

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 23, 2008 -> 08:16 AM) You know what really sucks about it?! They've prooven that regular coffee drinkers need the shot of caffien (morning cup of coffee) just to get to where a non-coffee drinker already is... So basically, if you had never started drinking it, you would wake up where you are AFTER you drink your first cup... Lucky for me I love the taste of coffee, and don't require the caffieen boost in the morning...which is why I usually don't even have my first cup until well after an hour after I wake up. I need to learn how to spell caffein.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 08:13 AM) I must have atleast one cup of coffee a day or Iam sure to get a headache by about 4 or 5 o'clock.So I know I have a bit of an addiction but Folgers is my favorite.Hills Brothers on the other hand is the worst liquid I have ever tasted,it cant even consider themselves a coffee company.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 06:43 AM) I went back to Folgers a few months back after realizing I became so accustomed to the custom blend from a local coffee shop, it wasn't any better then when I was accustomed to Folgers, and Folgers was 80% cheaper. Currently it's Folger's French Roast. I buy Starbucks beans when available. If they're fresh they'll be oily, as they should be...otherwise it's not so wonderful. I also like 8'o'clock dark roast, also very oily, but harder to find... I grind fresh when I do make coffee, otherwise I stop at Dunkin Donuts in the morning (since its in the basement of the building I work in downtown), it's just more convienent to have my morning coffee here at work for my daily scan of Soxtalk...

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 07:08 AM) I just stepped on the scale still 226. I have a plan for when I move to South Padre Island for the summer. If this plan involves drinking less beer, it's a failure.

I used the retro one last time and we won...so I'm using it again.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 08:01 AM) A couple years back there was a core group of SS, Steff, PA, Kap, Jim, YAS, and couple others and we basically posted our way through a work day. Gee, how things have changed. I'm certain we had a couple 100 post days. But it was more like texting then posting, if that makes sense. Yea, I'm starting to wonder if any of you actually do any work during these "work days"?

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 07:58 AM) Which is so much better then making fun of a living person, that's mean. BTW, the fashions in that picture You know, Tex, it comes to my attention that you're not doing very well in the Soxtalk's Biggest Loser campaign... You've still lost a whopping ZERO pounds.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ May 22, 2008 -> 11:56 PM) That actually means that she's so fat...having sex with her is like having sex with two people. ZING!!! She died of a heart attack due to complications with diabetes about 5 years ago, by the way, so you're making fun of a dead person.

Needless to say...YAY!

I would be in for this, but I must warn you that for some reason I cannot play softball very well...baseball yes, softball not so much...but I'd definatly try.

It's sad some of us know/remember this totally inconsequential stuff. :/

QUOTE (Brian @ May 21, 2008 -> 04:23 PM) Blair=Giggity! Not that I'm gehy or anything, but why can't we pick long haired 1980's George Clooney?

Vetoed by Bush, unfortunately it will likely get overridden as it's nearly veto invulnerable. That said, Bush still got this one right. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j6fCPxb...e6IN9gD90Q5FQ00

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 21, 2008 -> 10:32 AM) For someone that lives in the city I'm surprised you'd actually think that. That reminds me of the girl from ND that was talking to me and another guy from NYC and said "well at least you don't get mugged living in ND." The Red Line's dirty stations might look intimidating but it's no different than taking the subway in NYC, and the people that ride it are just everyday people going to work/school/whatever. From Pershing to 95th -- no thanks. And I've never been the NY, and I probably wouldn't ride the subway in some of those hoods if I knew any better, either.

QUOTE (mreye @ May 21, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) Just an FYI...You can drink in any state park in Indiana except The Dunes. Illinois is about the opposite. We camped behind a bar near Starved Rock just because of this. We actually had a good time. Yes, camping is about drinking beer. You can drink in a lot of IL state parks, they just usually have restrictions as to which campsites allow it...and if it's completely banned, I've still done it. We drank all weekend at Shabbona Lake, where it's completely banned, and the ranger was hanging out with us for a while when we were doing it. For the most part, they'll leave you alone unless you're being a drunk noise making tard that has to cause a commotion for no reason. IE, most of the college kids that go to these types of places.
