QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 07:36 PM) I thought they also did some best of 7 in WCW too. And thank god too...We're already sad, we don't need f***ing restholds. How dare you

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 07:30 PM) Um... Possible matches (?) WrestleMania XX vs HHH vs HBK Something from ECW Something from WCW (probably his Horsemen time) We'll likely also get when the Radicalz showed up on WWE shows and one of the first SD! matches where he wrestled. I'd hope they'd also go for some of the Best of 7 with Booker T. Only if they show the matches when Orton stepped in

Man, you never really realize how ripped Kurt Angle is QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 07:22 PM) What are the chances they will show Benoit vs. Liger from Starrcade 95? That would be cool if they showed some WCW or early ECW matches, im thinking they go all WWE.. but I hope they show others as well..

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 07:20 PM) Never noticed how is leg went in half when he got thrown out until now. I don't recall that injury, but he had to be out for quite some time. It actually didn't look as bad as it appeared.. I don't recall him missing any time, but I hate him more than anything so I don't pay much attention to him..

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 07:19 PM) I love how Show eliminates Angle coming up. 2004 was a great Rumble. Its making me really miss Jericho

I hope they still use all 3 hours of air time.. this will be a great special if it stays the way its been going.. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 07:16 PM) Man, look at all that talent in the royal rumble. My favorite part, Cena is not an unbeatable god

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:39 PM) It's supposed to be a three hour Raw so 7 CST should be the start time. Yeah thats what I meant, starting at the 3 hour time.. forgot that it wasn't common knowledge we are all in central time

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:35 PM) Vince needs to be out there on the show and bring everybody together like he did with Eddie, storylines be damned. Is Raw still starting at 7 tonight?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:01 PM) We're discussing this in the wrestling thread, but I'll put this here, too: UPDATE: Benoit called in to WWE Sunday and said he would be unable to make it back as his family was ill and they were spitting up blood. It makes you wonder though, if they were all spitting up blood and sick.. why were they not in the emergency room or at a hospital or something? They all just spit up some blood and decided to try and sleep it off? Thats the only thing confusing me here

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:04 PM) The Bears have offered him market value...he thought he was worth more. Briggs is entitled to get frustrated but the Bears haven't done anything wrong (and briggs is obviously entitled to his opinion as he always had shut up and play and now feels worthy of that major deal that enables him to be secure for the rest of his life). Yeah I hear that I was just asking why Briggs should take less money to stay with the Bears, directed from the post above up there..

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:00 PM) That supports the gas leak theory, I'd imagine. Jesus, this really sucks.. I always liked Benoit Thats really unfortunate if it is a gas leak

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) Great job by the Bears giving their players the money and nice to see Vasher take less than what he could have gotten in the Free Agent market. Don't ya wish other players (cough cough 55) would do that? Why should Briggs be expected to take a discount?

Buehrle has gotta go.. This team is way too old and has too many holes.. If he gives us a chance to add some good young players, then you do it.. if not we take the picks.. but don't kid yourself, we aren't resigning him no matter how much you want it to happen

Just turned on the iPod right now, heres what shuffled.. Megadeth - Hangar 18 All That Remains - Become the Catalyst Tenacious D - Beelzeboss (The Final Showdown) Metallica - One Pantera - Cowboys from Hell Avenged Sevenfold - Remenissions Breaking Benjamin - Dance With the Devil Evans Blue - Beg Hinder - How Long Avenged Sevenfold - Second Heartbeat

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 09:40 PM) How can you be comparing an injured Garcia to Mark Buehrle. That is a messed up comparison. The Jennings deal got the Rockies a starting CFer (Wily Taveras who is hitting .311 with a .357 OBP), what they thought was a #2 starter (Jason Hirsh), and a bullpen arm (Taylor Buchholz). 3 major league ready players. That is a lot of talent. The same players that everyone wanted for John Garland in return. Mark Buehrle is the only top talent SP available (not to mention he is a lefty,durable, and only 28) and the Sox have up to 10 teams bidding for his services. That is what makes this more unique than those other situations you have mentioned. You are not comparing the same things. Taylor Buchholz is a Starting Pitcher.. so basically for one year of JJ (Jennings will be a FA) they got a starting leadoff man and a very good defender with a rocket arm (I do love Taveras) and two young starting pitchers.. but yeah, I know he is in the bullpen.. but I just wanted to point out that he is a starter

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) First inning of today's game: Ramirez homers erstad hurts himself on a catch. Yep, I'll take Ramirez While also they have 2 guys who are the .305 30-40 100+ guys hit HRs while we go down 1,2,3 all striking out

LMAO

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 02:34 AM) No, you're not. You say you think that as in a form of opinion, but you mean it as a fact. Okay, your arguement is really good. He is a suckface. And why again? You have not made one good point giving 1 reason why Egbert will not do good. I think Egbert will be a 3-4 starter in the majors and have a solid career. And until he reaches the majors, I am correct. How do you like them apples? Hes either gonna make it or not, and right now he hasn't so like I said I am right.. so well see if he ever makes it or not, I dont have to justify anything other than the fact that I personally don't think he will ever make it as an MLB pitcher.. its just my personal opinion on him and the fact that most people on this board love him As long as they are granny smith, I love them apples.. And wite, thats it, I want Huisman back now

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 12:36 AM) You can easily say that about any given minor league player in the history of time. The fact of the matter is through scouting and numbers, you can reasonably determine what a pitcher will likely do upon reaching the majors. That doesn't mean they will; there are busts all the time. And you can agree or disagree as to whether Egbert will be in contention, but it's likely he'll either be up or be traded within the next year and a half and be given a shot at starting for the White Sox. Whether he produces or not is a completely different story, but he'll be given a shot. Im pretty sure I made it clear my feelings, you're post was pointless.. And you should be kidding me when the person who started this has Egbert listed as a person who could come in and pitch if Buehrle was dealt.. so yeah, rethink it

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 11:02 PM) If Erstad was good, then yes, I'd choose him. I think a better question would be... A player who is a grinder, gives 110%, and plays good D with numbers something like .265, 25 HR, and 80 RBI OR A player who doesn't give it his all, plays decent D, but with numbers of .310, 30-40 HR, and 100+ RBI. Ill take the player who doesn't give it his all every day.. The increased production makes up for the lack of trying by itself

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 11:08 PM) Okay, that is a fair statement. I don't think Eggy will be ready for at least a year or so as well. But I think he could be a future 3 or 4. I just really didn't like how you were already annointing him as suckface who will never see the majors. That was completely asinine. I do think hes a suckface who will never reach the majors, sorry, but thats just what I think.. and until he DOES reach the majors, I am correct

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 10:29 PM) What about Gio? He sucks to I bet. I have my doubts about Gio as well.. Until any of these guys come to the major league level and produce I am not going to annoint them our future 2-3-4 starters.. I just don't agree at all with people already saying Egbert is in contention to come in if Buehrle is traded and be a solid end of the rotation starter, are you kidding me? Can they at least get to our AAA and do something of note before we start penciling them in for future rotation spots.. You would think after all the prospects we have brought up this year that haven't done jack you'd be a little more thoughtful when projecting some of these guys. Now dont get me wrong, I like Gio. And when he gets to AAA if he puts up the same numbers as he has in AA and lower then maybe ill feel a little better about him. However, there is no way I am getting excited over Jack Egbert. He is just a Soxtalk love obsession.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 05:22 PM) I'm not positive, but I'm almost positive that his throws over 40 yards were completed only 40% of the time. So maybe I should re-phrase my original statement to "His accuracy on deep balls sucks." His accuracy is bad period

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 04:08 PM) Wasn't comparing them at all, other than their age and what level they were at when they were called up, which I thought was your biggest problem with Egbert (since you've yet to mention a single other thing about him, other than the fact that you don't like him) from reading these posts. I have zero faith in any pitcher from this organization coming up and producing at the MLB level, especially thinking a 24 year old from AA is going to be a 3-4 starter.. give me a break

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 04:04 PM) Yea, calling up 24 year old pitchers from AA never works Hey EXCELLENT example.. a closer who throws 100 mph and had amazing stuff, this really compares well to Egbert and every pitcher that Cheat named..
