Beautiful and heartwarming trailer for next year's Pixar film WALL-E. According to Pixar chief John Lasseter: WALL-E is the story about the last little robot on Earth. He is a robot that his programming was to help clean up. You see, it's set way in the future. Through consumerism, rampant, unchecked consumerism, the Earth was covered with trash. And to clean up, everyone had to leave Earth and set in place millions of these little robots that went around to clean up the trash and make Earth habitable again. Well, the cleanup program failed with the exception of this one little robot and he's left on Earth doing his duty all alone. But it's not a story about science fiction. It's a love story, because, you see, WALL-E falls in love with [Eve], a robot from a probe that comes down to check on Earth, and she's left there to check on and see how things are going and he absolutely falls in love with her.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 02:04 PM) The stuff is just so damn filling. I drink in order to reach a goal. That goal is to get drunk. I just can't do it with Guinness. Ya ain't doin it right, lad. One of the drunkest nights I ever had was thanks to the dark goodness. We were in London and at a pub called O'Neill's located off of Bedford. Anyway, it was live Irish music night and our sweetheart of a barmaid kept the Guiness flowing all night. We never had to ask for a refill. She was pouring while dancing too and never let the pint overflow. After a dozen or so pints later we stumbled through Covent Garden and back to the Hotel...singing and dancing. Ah, we felt like Peter O'Toole and Richard Harris after a performance in the glory days of British Theatre. Come to think of it...I think I stepped over Richard Harris on my way out. Nice guy.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 12:52 PM) Aaaarrgghh!!! You're all like Pod People who have replaced all the human beings with taste buds. Don't worry I'm here with you. There is nothing I enjoy more than the smooth, hearty taste of a pint of Guinness. It is a meal in itself. The best pint I ever had was in Galway, Ireland. It was at Murphy's bar in High Street. The pour was perfect and the head was so thick we floated a dime on the top. Ahhhh. I have to say though the Guinness brewery is a disappointment to visit. Oh, you think its Disney for Drunks...but it isn't. You never tour the actual brewery. Nope, you just go though a museum about the history of Guinness. Then they give you two tickets. Each for a free half-pint. But the bartender at the end of the tour, which is located near the gift-shop (wink-wink), pours the drink so fast they are terrible. In Chicago, I recommend the Grafton or the Red Lion pubs for the best pour.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 12:20 PM) Bad fan...

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 12:10 PM) Trust me, I'm not sitting around hoping that Dontrelle no-hits us tonight, etc. It's more like how I was unable to watch the games from this past wknd, but when I went and checked the score and saw we lost, I wasn't even mad. It was more like "oh well, at least this will speed up the fire sale". Man I was feeling the same thing this weekend.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 12:02 PM) I thought we had covered what we meant. Even though I said I'm rooting for them to lose, I'm not happy if they lose. Rather, it's more of an acceptance that them losing is the best thing that could happen. I was thrilled with Saturday night's game with Buehrle and Fields playing well. I see you position man. Your pissed...I'm pissed. All I'm saying is never root for your team to lose. Get pissed. Boo the hell out of them. Throw your remote at the TV. Rant. Never, though, cheer for the other team to beat your team. Boo your team...Boo their team.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 11:56 AM) If you think that's true, then I'll counter that anyone who doesn't understand why a Sox fan would want them to lose right now doesn't understand baseball (or the Sox's front office). I'm mad. Im pissed off at them. I hate they way they are playing. Kenny needs to get pissed and do what he needs to do to right the ship and make sure its set for the future. But I will never seriously root for my team to LOSE. EVER That is someone who never understood baseball or what it means to be a fan. I'm sorry.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 11:56 AM) [sigh] I will admit seeing my quote I am a little disappointed in myself for Kenny's rant not being a little more profanity laced, and not including the destruction of an innocent piece of furnature and/or meal. You think he threw Ozzie's sushi at Paulie?

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 11:49 AM) Which is evident by the bathroom lines!!! In an odd way I miss the days when I didn't have to wait in line for everything and Me and Rob were the only guys in the UD. What we sacrifice for what we love, eh?

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 08:04 AM) Or.. "Just because you have a cushy contract doesn't mean your ass is safe... " Or.. "Paul, I got a bus to 'anywhere but here' with your name on it...pass it around" Kenny is not afraid to trade anyone...trust me. Another thing... If someone is rooting for the White Sox to lose, that does not make them a bad White Sox fan. They are just not a White Sox fan at all, good or bad. They should move on to another team. The Brewers are in first place. The Cubs are hot (in the media) again. The Indians could use your cynicism. Have fun. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 11:48 AM) But they do make the rockin world go round! I love it when you quote Queen

Welcome Aboard!!! I feel for a Tribe fan...sure their team is feeling success right now, but every fan wants that ultimate prize. The World Series Championship. The Indians really got bit in 1995 and 1997 and they haven't had a WS champ in a VERY long time. Second only to the Cubs. As a Sox fan, I understand their misery, excitement and trepidation about this season. Even though we suck right now, I'm sure they would take a year of sucking for the taste of a championship. We can still savour ours from 1 1/2 years ago.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 18, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) OMG, anyone who watched and wasn't rolling on the floor during Drama's 5 second part in Medillen just doesn't know comedy. When he jumped on the screen and yelled, in spanish, "LETS KILL THESE MOTHERf***ERS!" my wife and i wen nuts. I felt I was watching 300 again. LOL Get those Mother f**kers, Drama!!!

Who knew Johnny Drama was the original Joey on Friends?!? LOL Here's his resume: Johnny Drama Resume

Great story and Welcome to Soxtalk! ...Too bad you side with Satan.

You know... Whether you liked the ending or not...David Chase STILL has everyone talking about the Sopranos to this day because of that final scene. It makes you wonder if he ended it like a normal show, would people still be talking about it?

Richard Roeper gives the Sopranos finale a HUGE Thumbs up. http://bventertainment.go.com/tv/buenavista/ebertandroeper/ Click on the on-line exclusives.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 11:13 PM) Whenever you face only 27 batters and only allow ONE baserunner, that is a better game. Strikeouts are cool and all, but an out is an out. Plus, ESPN just hates the White Sox. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Ground balls - thats more democratic.

He faced more than 27.....loser

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 07:09 PM) This is the part of the scary movie, where the killer disappears but you start to hear the music. And you are swimming in the foggy lake, "Get off the mound Jose!!! Get off the mound!!"

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 04:04 PM) Great. The day I book reservations to Myrtle Beach, I find out there toxic s*** in the water. Solid. Just don't hit your golfball in there and you'll be fine.

See how far Cleveland jumps when their young players start entering Arbitration years.

I assume none of you will be watching the game tonight since the outcome is already certain. Be sure to post later on and tell us what happened on "America's Got Talent" or the Cubs game tonight.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 01:21 PM) Maybe they should change the paint color in the clubhouse first. I hear yellow is soothing... oooh...with a nice border of Teddy Bears playing baseball. Then our players can learn to hit from the Teddy Bears. Because anything is better than Walker...right? That should solve everything! If Jerry or Kenny knew anything about running a professional baseball team they'd be at Home Depot right now and buy a Teddy Bear border for the clubhouse!!

Kathy and I are definately going. We love Levy and Yucko!

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 01:02 PM) Steff and I saw them last year (don't tell Jim) and overall they were good. Bob Levy is good and is better depending on crowd interaction. Yucko should be funny and the Beet just rocks. Plus, they interact with the crowd, so you should be able to get that picture for your office wall. Did Bob Levy eat Blue Cheese out of Steff's butt? uh-oh
