QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Nov 20, 2011 -> 05:09 PM) I also never play online, I'm old-school. I just don't find it enjoyable because I enjoy the live tells of playing live. However, I once had a dealer ask me if I play online because he said the way I bet is similar to online players, lol. All in before every flop?

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) Exactly... if it were me, I wouldn't give her a week or two. I'd get them ASAP. She was just giving him the run around, including the ticket thing. A girl like this shouldn't be given any benefit of the doubt. Quite honestly, you guys are all nicer than I am. For her to have the balls to ask for the tickets while leading me on (presumably for the tickets) is beyond me. I'd cancel them asap, wouldn't even give her the option of paying me for them. I'd rather take the loss than let her have a good time at my expense.

My wife has the movie "The Notebook" and now I have this. Thank you.

I've officially crossed the line of white trasch and got a SAMCRO hoodie (amongst other things) for Christmas...

I'm going as Keith Stone

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) Unless you are willing to go into a full blown youth movement, which is impossible right now anyway, and see attendance literally drop to about half of what it is now, you don't trade Konerko unless the return involves someone like Bryce Harper. This. We still have bills to pay. I don't know that there's a way to have a full blown youth movement and still pay some of these contracts we can't get rid of.

We had my brothers bachelor party at Level (now Proof), we just rented out the VIP upstairs, good time. http://www.proofchicago.com/

If this is the same place I went to last year, the $30 is "all you can eat", but you can only fill up one plate and not get back in line.

Happy belated, pal

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 11, 2011 -> 07:55 AM) I don't understand that mentality. I have either lived in NY or Germany my entire life and have only been to Chicago twice (both times the main purpose was to see games) yet I feel I'm probably more of a knowledgeable and diehard fan of the White Sox than 90% of people in Chicago. I wouldn't doubt that, as you said, the team was important enough for you to travel to Chicago to see.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 11, 2011 -> 07:46 AM) What's wrong with that? I look down on them...as I sit on my high horse.

My knee jerk reaction was "absolutely not". Having a little time reading over this thread, I'm thinking, why would I travel out of state to find a team? What's the difference if I just stayed with the Sox at that point? The problem is that I'd be "that guy", rooting for a team in a state I don't live in and possibly have never been to, like that guy from LA who's a diehard Yankees fan.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 7, 2011 -> 10:51 AM) Viciedo is owed $3.25M next year. I don't think that's great for a guy who has 104 MLB AB's. Paying Ohman $2.5M to be a LOOGY on a team that will likely be going nowhere isn't great either. As far as Ramirez goes, he's not getting any better. We knew Viciedo would be a project when we signed him. Whether the team as a whole is good or bad, he will be very useful if everything pans out. Ohman, I don't believe we'd be stuck with nor would we be stuck with Ramirez, if we traded them, who would fill their role? We don't have minor league players to plug into EVERY position on the team, if we have mlb players on the roster, we have to pay them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2011 -> 10:40 AM) First of all, Viciedo won't be arb eligible next year so he'll only be owed $2.5 million. Secondly, why on Earth would you have a problem with those? you beat me to it, those are arguably the best contracts on the team to go along with Floyd and Beckham.

QUOTE (since56 @ May 7, 2011 -> 08:21 AM) It's getting to the "fun bad" point. no pal, we're there.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 5, 2011 -> 10:08 AM) Those weren't released by the US, they were taken by a Pakistani security official who entered the compound after the early morning raid on Monday. that would answer that question...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 5, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) This x 1,000. If that's the case then why did they release pictures of other people they killed in the compound? -sorry if this was asked already, I didn't read 52 pages of this thread. warning-graphic

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) I don't think you can say that anymore about the Twins after they came and left town with us left in their dust (yet again). to be fair, I didn't say what the order was of who's worse. people in my own home look at me with pity, this includes, but is not limited to, my 3 year old daughter.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:14 AM) Laugh all you want...but when this team saw a crowd of only 20,000 there tonight, it had to be demotivating. If the fans aren't going to come out for a key game against a top divisional rival, why even try? Crowds like this insure that we will not contend this year. Also known as the two worst teams in baseball?

I'm not sure why anyone can assume the Twins will be in it at the end of the year. They let their bullpen go to FA, Mauer has aids (or whatever disease that made him lose all that weight and not hit), Morneau hasn't seemed to fully recover. This year is the first in awhile that they couldn't plug in some no name jerk off that suddenly becomes a star. My argument (in my circle) to every Cub fan I know is that I've never hated the Cubs, I hate that their fans allow themselves to be exploited by inept management, follow their team like sheep and have no backbone to say "enough is enough, field a competitive team or I'm not going to pay to see the garbage you throw on the field". With that being said, if I continue to show up after JR has proven that his friendship with Ozzie and KW are more important than the good of the team, then I'm no better than the people I despise.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) We all get shot down from time to time. Even me, and basically the entire board is in agreement that I'm the best poster here. Might as well state your piece once in a while. You actually get to know some of the posters as if you interacted with them regularly in real life. I'll do that, thanks.

I lurk...been lurking for the better part of 5 years. The reason is because I'm not as well versed as most of the regular posters as far as stats go. It can be a little intimidating sometimes, I know what I see and sometimes think about throwing my opinion out there but I don't want to be shot down by some stat I don't understand. I thoroughly enjoy everyone's comments and the sense of humor from a lot of the posters are just down right hilarious. With all that being said, my guess is the first day of the winter meetings. Also, for the sake of argument, my reasoning above is due to my own insecurities, I'm not accusing anyone of anything.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) Either way, I'm glad that Ozzie (unlike many fans right here on this board) understands that it's the manager who pays for the failures of the team and its players. I'm not sure he does, I know he constantly says "he should be fired if we don't win" but at this point, I don't think he truly believes it. JR has kept him under his security blanket for so long I think he would be shocked if he were to really get fired. I would compare it to threatening somebody who lives in another country, it sounds great but you will never see the words come to life.

I think he'll turn it around, having said that, I dropped him from my fantasy team two days ago...
