    I thought "Black Swan" was pretty good, and Natalie Portman was excellent. However, anybody renting it for the love scene (I didn't) should just rewatch "Wild Things" instead.
  2. Should be a good Western Conference Finals between two historically epic chokers.

    A little late to the party, but "Wasting Light" is damn fine Foo.
  5. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2011 -> 08:12 AM) WTF is wrong with Virginia's Attorney General?!? I don't get it. What does that even mean? Dude wants to be dead?
  6. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 4, 2011 -> 09:39 AM) The circumstances that led to the Nick Swisher trade and then the subsequent giving away of Nick Swisher were pretty brutal, too. The Danks deal was a big-time win. Was that KW's last victory? Not to the same degree, but he sort of got pantsed in both directions with Javy, too. Gavin Floyd was a win.
  7. I voted this year. Greatest disparity between "on paper" talent and on field performance I have EVER seen to this point. The 2007 team may have been crappier, but how "disappointed" can you really be with a roster featuring Andy Gonzalez, Ryan Buckvich, Jerry Owens, Luis Terrerro, Erstad, Mackowiak, etc. That team had a good core, but was loaded with stiffs. Runner up for me is '84; coming off a runaway division title with just about everyone back and adding Tom Seaver. 1995 was bad too. As was astutely pointed out by somebody last night, the Sox fired their manager (despite 2 years of past successes) for getting off to the same start as this year, and that team had just given away its Ace (Black Jack) and had 2 has beens (Sabo and Kruk) at DH.
  8. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 3, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) And how cant you like Uncle Jesse, Rebecca Donaldson was hot. To you kids he's "Uncle Jesse," but he'll always be "Blackie" to me. Besides, the name Blackie is more in keeping with the title of this thread.
  9. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) Gene Lamont led the White Sox to an AL West crown in 1993. In 1994 he had the White Sox in first place in the newly formed AL Central when the strike hit. JR still talks about how that team would have won the World Series. In 1995. when the Sox gave away Jack McDowell, and had a done John Kruk and Chris Sabo DHing, Lamont was fired after 31 games with the Sox sporting an 11-20 record, and was replaced by Terry Bevington. The Sox current record is 11-20. So you're suggesting we bring back the Boomer?
  10. QUOTE (Paint it Black @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:09 PM) How did Hawk take it? He was home sick, You know, like the offense.
  11. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:01 PM) I would suggest that the White Sox run another blackout, except this time it is called "JACKOUT BLACKOUT". Except instead of giving out black shirts, they give out .375's of Yukon Jack, and before the game, everyone must chug it. Then the drunkest must attack the Twins. It's flawless. They can offer "buy one, get one free" discounts to shirtless fathers and sons.
  12. I envy you. I'm friggin' enraged.
  13. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 3, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) wish we still had Clayton Richard and Aaron Poreda Still plenty o' crap without them.
  14. Selig needs to put on asterisk on this one. Really shouldn't even count.
  15. Has anyone besides that doofus Kaplan reported the MRI and Grade 2 sprain? I read on ESPN Chicago that Rose praticed fine.
  16. A White Sox winner? Has this been definitively confirmed? Seriously, pictures can be faked.
  17. QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 2, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) Still has 20 year old tits though. Mercy. With two whole years left on the manufacturer's warranty. We now return to this mature, political discussion . . .
  18. QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 2, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) GI Jane might. Nah, she's pushin 50.
  19. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 2, 2011 -> 03:50 PM) I hope they listened to Party In The USA when they returned to base, too. Bad motherf***er Navy Seals don't listen to Miley Cyrus.
  20. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 2, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) He's been dumped in the Persian Gulf buried at sea already. Saudi didn't want his body and his family disowned him decades ago. Plus they didn't want his grave site to turn into some worshipful destination for terrorist wannabees, with people flocking there like they do for Jim Morrison in Paris.
  21. QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) I don't know about all this. As far as the picture or body viewing of Bin Laden ... You trust government? They should at least have some sort of panel observe the body. Like officials from all over the world or an independent expert. Sure, because if the Prince of Belguim says so, everyone will be convinced. There's a difference between a healthy skepticism of government and Oliver Stone-like paranoia.
