QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) Bren, Order this book from Amazon...it will teach you how to actually use the camera correctly (and take the best pictures possible) instead of just leaving it in auto mode and pressing the big button. I own it, and it's a great, informative book. Bryan Peterson's Understanding Photography Field Guide THANK YOU!!! I've been meaning to look for something like this ..just didn't know where to start!! lol I love photography, actually took a class in high school! I've forgotten all the good stuff like shutter speeds and what not, but I plan on picking it all back up. Thinking about going to back to school for photography ..I think it could be fun! I'm definitely going to add this book to my Christmas list!! Thank you sooo much!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 12:21 AM) Check for reviews on that model on cnet.com It's a bit of an older camera though, so it may not have all the newest, fanciest features. But overall a nice camera. First thing I did before we ordered it!! lol Thank you so much for responding though!! I was hoping to get opinions from someone who actually owns one .. someone who OBVIOUSLY has great taste ..so I turned to Soxtalk!!

Does anyone on here have one ..or know anyone that does?! Chase is getting me one for Christmas ..just curious as to what to expect out of it?

QUOTE (scenario @ Nov 4, 2010 -> 06:12 PM) Orton gives Flowers high marks 06/19/10 By Scott Merkin / MLB.com WASHINGTON -- White Sox Minor League catching instructor John Orton will be filling in this weekend for bullpen catcher Mark Salas, who will miss the Nationals series to attend his daughter's college graduation. Orton's presence also gave him the opportunity to evaluate Tyler Flowers, the club's top backstop prospect and heir apparent to A.J. Pierzynski. A .290 average with five home runs in his Past 10 games has raised Flowers average to .223, but Orton was more focused on Flowers' work behind the plate. In that area, the 24-year-old received good grades from his mentor. "From day one, he has been a kid who wants to win and asks the right questions," Orton said. "He picks up things real quick. It's always been just a matter of adjustments. The things I've heard about him being more of an offensive player, which he probably will be, but I didn't know much about his defense. It has been outstanding. "He's starting to look comfortable behind the plate. When you don't have to worry so much about what you are doing, then you can get into the calling the game and handling the pitching staff with all your concentration. He's been good doing that." When Flowers first arrived, he was classified as a Major League-ready hitter with a significant road to travel defensively. That defense is no longer a worry for Flowers is a greater positive in Orton's mind than the concerns coming from his hitting woes. "That's a good thing, not that he's struggling offensively," Orton said. "That first [full] year in Triple-A is tough for a lot of guys. You see a lot of guys that have been around pitching-wise and know how to pitch. They find out your holes and so you need to make an adjustment. It takes that learning curve at that level. He's going to be fine offensively. "Defensively, we are real happy with what he's doing. He's definitely a Major League catcher. He has good hands, he blocks. He throws good enough. He's smart. He has a great personality. He's able to handle different pitchers. That's one thing I really like about him. He makes visits at the right time. He has a good feel." Alright!! Johnny O! This guy is seriously one of Chase's most favorite guys EVER! I, unfortunately, did not get to meet him this past season He Left VA. the day I got there ..bummer. Maybe next season?! I would like to also extend a big fat pat on the back to Flowers ..to have someone Chase looks up to so much, say such good things about you, gives you my vote 100% ...Good luck this coming season!!!!!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 06:57 AM) I was thinking about who would likely be in B-Ham in 2011 on Opening Day, and it seems like a really solid team to me. My best guesses for who would be there... C: Phegley 1B: Loman 2B: ??? SS: Escobar (I'd guess he starts back there again) 3B: Gilmore OF: Mitchell OF: Short OF: Greene OF: Williams (with one of the 4 OF's rotating to DH each game probably) SP: Leesman (if he goes to Charlotte, then pencil in Edwards here maybe) SP: Shirek (repeats after injury-plagued season) SP: Axelrod SP: Sauer SP: Doyle (I'm guessing Griffith and Serafin stay behind and repeat A+, and Leesman may or may not go to Charlotte) RP: Jones (I'm guessing he goes back to relief) RP: Bellamy RP: Remenowsky RP: Rodriguez RP: Corley That looks like a fun team to watch. The way they do things is so unpredictable that the team may not look anything like this at all! I can't wait to see how many of them you predicted correctly, though!!

back to back homers followed by a double by Morel!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 10:37 PM) Your sarcasm meter needs fixing. No kidding, right?! lol He isn't a big deal to you guys yet, but around here he has been for a little while && to me he always will be! "Ol' girl?" lmao ..everyday one of you says something that makes me giggle.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) That definitely would be my thing lol, Id like to say Id be humble but in reality Id be telling everyone how awesome Im at in baseball haha. Now if I did have a gf I prob wouldnt flaunt it as much but maybe just a little still. HAHAHAHAHAHA LMFAO!! This cracks me up. Chase is the opposite ..he gets embarrassed if we go anywhere and people know who he is. He really doesn't like to be known for playing baseball && especially dislikes the people who crawl out of the wood works and are like "Oh yeah, Chase Blackwood, I know him ..we're real good friends." when in reality he may have stood next to them in line at a movie one time or something! lol

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) haha ya i do well usually too. Apparently she didn't know the answer to the question though but had already signed the form to allow the footage to be used so she's kinda embarrassed. No big deal! A lot of people get those questions wrong, it's whatever! At least she has proof that she was on the show! I would go on there and be wrong any day!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 01:09 PM) That's totally going to be one of my goals when I finally move into the city haha I love that show && I'm pretty damn good at it ..if I do say so myself!! lol ..I always get mad when people decline to play the video bonus round ..I'm like "GO FOR IT YOU FOOL!!" hahaha

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 01:07 PM) Whoa...TMI. No way! It was awesome ..I felt like I had super powers for like 30 seconds! lmao

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 12:46 PM) I wasn't sure what you had meant, thanks for clarifying. But, are you implying anything with the bolded part of your statement? I'm not implying anything. I was just saying sometimes guys use their status to get out of tickets, get free drinks, get girls ...Chase never tells people what he does for a living. It's not on his FB under his employment section and he tries at all costs to avoid actually telling people when they ask ..so it irritates him when he's with people and they are all too excited to run around talking about "hey girl, I play baseball for the White Sox." ..that's not his thing.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 14, 2010 -> 12:00 PM) My best girl friend just texted me and said she was a street shout out for cash cab today. I'm jealous, I wanna be on cash cab one of these days haha. MEE TOOOOO!!!
