    Steff, How can you not understand men, the simplest creatures on the planet? We're either having sex, thinking about having sex, or talking about sex. Like tile, lay us right the first time and you can walk on us all your life . . .

    Or what's his name english actor with the ugly hooker
  8. This weekends series would be a great start: More homeruns Shamey or Frank? Will fans stop the game with cork stuff?
  9. Rants? I answered a question. What 'rants' did you read? Speaking of reading, I did not say that "Getting rid of Colon will improve the clubhouse and help the Sox to win." That would be, however, a byproduct. Sorry ncorgbl not by you but about you. Are you really a shareholder, do you really have insider info, etc. Same s*** different channel. Seems to follow you everywhere.
  10. ESPN Dan Patrick just had an interview with an old friend of Doby's. First off I've always been a huge Bill Veeck fan after listening to how much Veeck did for Doby I was surprised how much hatred there was from within his own team. The Indian player's didn't do much to make Doby comfortable, they did things like refusing to shake his hand, turning their backs, etc. It was also mentioned how other NL teams quickly followed with other balck players while the AL was very slow to add black players.

    Tolkien is looking down saying "Now they f***in' make the movie . . ." In the words of my son "I have outgrown (at 14) Harry Potter but need to read it because I've read the others" He has LOTR posters, etc. in his room but all the Potter stuff is gone.
  12. It's the color and the Chicago market for their music. Remember the whole black and silver/white thing was hot. The Raiders sold a hell of a lot of stuff also. Drove the purple and gold off the charts.
  13. The great melting pot. What was the original comment. Getting rid of Colon will improve the clubhouse and help the Sox to win. After 5 pages is anyone convinced? And why is it that almost everytime ncorgbl speaks I begin reading rants about his identity?

    Remember some guys are very dumb. They get bored and do dumb things. I'm certain David Copperfield sometime wishes he could go "abracadabra" and make Claudia Shiffer (Spelling?) disappear and someone else reappear in bed.

    She's getting kids to read 700 and 900 pages books. That is awesome. I've read the books and find them to be rather light in the literature department but for their target audience are very good. I try and encourage kids to read The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings after the finish Harry Potter. Nice intro to better writing.
  16. Which pitchers will win and which will lose? Earned vs. Unearned Runs? Biggest Inning? Hit by most pitches (great for Minny series)
  17. Yes, you are right. So it's either a current winning team (Mariners) tradition of winning (Yankees) or popular player (Cards with Mac) that drive fan popularity. We've never sustained any of the three. We also don't have the greatest graphics (unlike the Blackhawks jersey which is awesome IMHO). Bottom line is until we have fans in all corners of the world we're going to be overlooked. Players with less ability but better marketability will be publicized better than E-Lo. It sucks but it's true. I also believe if E-Lo was 24 and not 31 he would be garnering more attention. If we were leading our division or really competing it would make a better story. We would be reading headlines like Surprise E-Lo Leading Sox to Pennant instead of E-Lo Lone Bright Spot as Sox get Eliminated Props are hard to come by on a losing team that hasn't won a playoff game in a long time.

    a question

    Doesn't matter to me. Would the b****ing about MB be any different if he had signed the contract? I would prefer not to know it just annoys me. When I go to a movie I don't worry if the actors made $X for the movie. I especially don't worry if the &*^%^% players who just dropped a pop up was making $1,000 a game or $10,000 I boo just the same. I do however feel bad that going to a game has gotten so damn expensive. I remember when my beer cost was higher than parking and a ticket.
  19. All good choices and most were overshadowed by guys on the other side of town. Perhaps we could also blame the Tribune Co.? Once I moved from the Chicago market I realize how little respect there is for WS baseball. I will see exactly two Sox games on my cable system this season and we were expected to contend. I will see the Yakees, Bo Sox, Mariners, A's a dozen times at least. I agree with the programmers, who wants to televise a game from a half empty stadium? If Chicago fans don't fill the stadium as the audience, we aren't going to receive much publicity and then guys like E-Lo get overlooked. I hate to say it but if Frank was a media darling this all would be different. Frank has to be Frank and I respect him for being himself. However, if he had half the charisma of Shamey or Michael Jordan the Sox wouldn't be near the basement in fan popularity as defined by sales of licensed merchandise. You don't see kids in Omaha with Sox jerseys.
  20. You could also explain it as luck. One thing Mark has going for him is he has the talent to lose 15 games this season. With less talent, he would be missing opportunities to start. You have to keep pitching him because you know the next start could be the beginning of a 10 game personal win streak.
  21. I think have the time he orders alphabet soup for lunch and deciphers the noodles. If your suggesting he actually thinks about it I'm scared
  22. There probably should be a few standard questions like Who wins the series? Total Sox runs? Total Sox errors? Will JM still be the Mgr? If half are standard it will make running it and playing it simpler and easier. Perhaps if two or three people join together the question writing could be rotated and make it easier on the volunteer. I'd be willing to help.
