Kalapse is my favorite Happy Birthday you little scamp

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 08:07 PM) You know what? It was you who recruited me for the Willy Taveras Bandwagon and I have bought in. I went back and watched some Astros games from last season on MLB.tv and I've gotta say I was impressed with Willy. The guy has an above average arm which is very uncommon for a speed player like him, he gets some pretty good reads on the ball off the bat and his blazing speed comes in handy for tracking balls down in the gaps. He's still only 25 and should improve upon his game this year, I could see him becoming one hell of a leadoff man, with that speed of his he's going to pick up a ton of infield and bunt base hits. It's really a shame the Sox couldn't work anything out with the Astros this offseason that could have included Taveras. I love Willy T, but not at the expense of my boy Garland.. Since it prolly would have been that Garland for Willy, Hirsh, Buchholtz deal and neither of those two pitchers are anything special.. but man, watching Taveras play was great.. anytime he hit a routine groundball to short and beat it out, it was awesome watching

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 05:29 PM) Yeah, I know what your point was. I was just going off on a little tangent. I really don't give a s*** about the Garcia trade so this subject doesn't interest me much. The comparing Tavares to Podsednik thing bothers me because I know a lot of people have and would have made such a comparison which is pretty ridiculous. And yes people would have b****ed about it but that's mainly because there's always someone around to b**** about everything (except for the Hall signing, that was pretty much unanimous.) Man I love me some Willy Taveras.. sucks the Astros traded him because now I wont get to see him play anymore but he was an excellent defender who had incredible speed.. It would be great if we had him leading off for this team

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 20, 2007 -> 06:25 PM) I remember Edge used to be around 220 lbs, then he got injured for a year, came back and he weighed something like 240 lbs now. So I'm not totally shocked that something like this has happened. I could have sworn that I posted a response to this last night but I guess I was wrong.. Anyways, Edge had neck surgery a while back and I guess it isnt shocking to me that he would take something to be able to get back to full strength asap..

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 17, 2007 -> 04:46 PM) "You don't see this on the next-generation versions of this game" There are only a few 100's on the PS3/XBox 360 versions... EDIT: My bad, you said current-gen. Thought you were talking next-gen. Once more, my fault. Sorry about that. Yeah I have upgraded to the 360 yet.. my friend has it and he brings it over here to play 2K7 and I just cant seem to think its worth $500 I think ill wait till it comes down, but I didnt see a $500 difference between them

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 11:35 AM) But he played at Iowa State, so he can deal with mediocrity. (Not to mention the Dolphins.... ) Why I oughtta..

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 11:30 AM) Back to the Texans situation...I really thought Sage Rosenfels might have had a chance to start in Houston this year. Apparently, Kubiak loves him, and he's been nothing but megadecent. Sage is not the Rage heads..

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 17, 2007 -> 04:27 PM) Nah, I'd say the Player Ratings are pretty good actually. The only bad ones really are guys who have big names but don't produce. For example, Prior with like an 85 ranking... Ok well according to IGN, who might be a tad more credible than you , seems to disagree..

2K7 on the current gen systems have insane player rankings, otherwise I would have considered buying it.. but apparently guys like JD Drew and Michael Barrett are rated 100 overall

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 14, 2007 -> 06:55 PM) I must be in the minority. Orton may have the look, but to me he is lacking "It". He just doesnt come off to me as anything more than a cohort. He can speak on the mic, but he never says anything that makes me take notice. Its all the same thing everytime he talks. When he is jobbing it is painfully obvious because he doestn sell moves, when he is going to win it is even more obvious because he gets really cocky. Orton has his shot, and never grabbed a hold of it. Ill kill you

I would love nothing more than to see my boy Orton get back to main eventing and actually winning.. fueding with Edge will be cool to see

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 13, 2007 -> 01:09 PM) Why is it that 99.9 percent of us in the midwest say "tournament" wrong. The eastern seaboard people pronounce it "tour-na-ment", which is right, yet us midwesterners call it the "turn-a-ment" for some reason. I never realized it until now, and don't get it. Also, had Illinois kept the Chief (it's official today that he's gone, but the nickname Fighting Illini stays btw I heard), would they have been left out of the dance? I say it's very possible with as fickle as the NCAA is. Most people down here in Texas say Tour - na - ment but I say Turn - a - ment since im from Illinois.. I also say eggs weird supposedly.. I say it like aigs but they say it like ehggs, same problem with a friend of mine named Greg, they say that I say his name like Craig because I pronounce things like that with the aig sound and not eh

QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 14, 2007 -> 12:01 AM) I just saw that Orton got totally jobbed out to Lashley. Sheesh! At least he fairly beat Flair AND Carlito to gain entry into the Money in the Bank match.. I was shocked to see that, hasn't happened in some time

Im signing up here shortly

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 05:20 PM) Illinois couldn't ask for a better situation. looks solid so far.. wins over Va Tech and Southern Illinois doesn't seem impossible

haha Purdue gets a 9 seed and we get a 12 Ide rather play Va Tech over Arizona anyways

We really do suck offensively

I thought it was badass

Durant is a god

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Feb 26, 2007 -> 08:22 AM) Jeff Hardy/Shelton Benjamin tonight for a MITB spot. Hoping Shelton goes over..... Wrestlezone says Hardy and Kennedy should be the next in, leaving one spot.. ide assume thatll go to Orton

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 10:37 PM) It's sad how far it has dropped so fast. A year ago, I think you would of thought differently, but Russo is ruining everything. Just a mess. I just don't get why every single match has to be a gimmick match

TNA sucks, I have given it some chances but I cant watch it anymore.. they are all worthless outside of AJ Styles.. don't you dare tell me Samoa Joe, Ill kill you.. I hate him so much

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 23, 2007 -> 10:33 PM) ... . . . . . . At least im not going down when you punch me

I hope it happens as soon as possible.. Barry is the man
