If it was Josh Willingham who hit that ball it wouldn't have even made ESPN's top ten.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 01:21 AM) To be fair, that was a beautiful set-up for that goal. I'm glad it wasn't some weak shot that squeaked through Crawford made some huge stops before that but the game winner was almost impossible. On another note,In that Avs win Paul Stastny had 2 shots,2 goals: The tying goal and the OT game winner. Talk about efficient.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 02:04 PM) Yeah, but Veal has no options left so he's vulnerable to waivers. I've all but given up on Veal so if he goes claimed I won't be too worried.

Definitely would not have run out of pitchers had they been able to throw the ball for strikes.(minus lindstrom and webb before he gassed)

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 01:36 PM) I can't quote him but I do remember he was saying things about how Ozzie handled the team without stating his name explicitly. Something like that "that type of clubhouse is in the past" and another more direct dig I can't recall. yup,I see what he did there. thanks.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 10:54 AM) Hahn took a couple snide shots at him at SoxFest. We should bring him in just to go off on the bullpen. Sean Tracey some of the arms. Since I wasn't at Soxfest can you recall some of those shots Hahn made?

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 11:12 AM) Sox gained so many season ticket holders in the 2005-2006 offseason that they had a waiting list. hence the record attendance. ticke tprices went up. 2006 was a team that missed the playoffs, but the sox offered playoff tix with automatic renewals for 2007. hence the slightly lower overall attendance, as individual sales took a hit in a s***ty season. ticket prices went up. 2007 was a disaster. and many sth took off as their sth investment wasn't bearing fruit(playoffs or financial success). my brother had FOUR full season tix under my account in 2006-2007, and dropped them(i still had my partial plan). The sth base dropped big time, making pre-season sales of tix much lower in 2008 than in the previous few seasons. tickets prices went up. 2008 sox did make the playoffs, but they started slow and walkup sales took a while to pickup. But the sox didn't really sell a lot of season ticket plans coming off the hype of a playoff run. ticket prices went up. 2009 started strong, but the poor and inconsistent play turned crowds away, or made them look at stubhub first. and even more STH left. ticket prices went up. 2010 was a suprise, but like i said low sth base once again kills any gains from walkup sales. ticket prices went up yet again to thier highest levels before the slight reduction in 2011. 2011 was supposed to be all in, but poor and lazy play really pissed the fans off where there was little walkup. And tickets went up except in a few spots in the upper deck. 2012 had MASSIVE ticket plan cancellations, but they were an exciting team and walkup and other advance sales picked up but never made up for the loss of sth plans. prices were a bit lower, but still more expensive than 2005's prices. The ticket situation was so bad, the sox offered ALDS tickets to ALL ticket plan holders, even 7 game plans. 2013 was a diaster. The only thing that saved the attendance(even though it went down) was the massive discounts on ticket prices. But even then fans still found excuses. 2014 is bearing the fruit of many years of fan anger over bad pricing and bad ballclubs. Tickets didnt go up, but people seem to really have a wait and see approach. Good stuff, this is a pretty accurate summary since 05.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 10:55 AM) Might be a bit late for that since the playoffs started yesterday Damn,sorry,didn't even notice my picks were locked in since yesterday. At least I got the 1st game on the first 3 series right.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 07:50 AM) It's hockey so who the f*** knows what will happen, but I'll give the prediction game a shot. PIT over CBJ in 5 MTL over TB in 6 (Bishop injury is huge) BOS over DET in 6 PHI over NYR in 7 CHI over STL in 5 COL over MIN in 6 ANA over DAL in 6 SJ over LA in 7 PIT over MTL in 6 BOS over PHI in 7 COL over CHI in 7 (NOOOOO!) SJ over ANA in 6 PIT over BOS in 6 SJ over COL in 6 PIT over SJ in 5 I don't know if you have but you should make those picks official http://bracketchallenge.nhl.com/playoff_challenge/ who knows,might win a SPYDER

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 02:23 PM) I'll try that out, although I need to update via USB or find a website to download it from, since my phone only allows update via non-functional Wi-Fi. Yea just update it through USB on your laptop/desktop. It's faster anyway, just do it on Kies. and back up your phone while your at it if you please.

Suddenly tonight's game becomes very do-able.lol. Upgrades are free?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 11:57 AM) I just went to update the software and it told me that the available update is more than 100 MB large, so it's not available via mobile networks. I need to connect to Wi-Fi to download. Of course I am unable to connect to any Wi-Fi network, so it's not letting me download the update. Try updating it and maybe the drivers just needed to be up to date and fix the issue.worth a shot

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) Tried it, no luck. Guess I'll try T-Mobile tech support. For some reason, they don't have an e-mail address to contact. Is your phone up to date software wise?

yeeeeaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 12, 2014 -> 01:55 AM) In Nashville right now for the Hawks/Preds game tomorrow. Nashville is a pretty fun town, tons of bars and good looking girls in skirts. Our hotel is housing a cheerleading competition this weekend. Unfortunately it's like 90% underrage chicks. Womp womp. Hoping for good looking college aged coaches though. Oh yeah, and the Bridgestone Arena was open to the public tonight for a walk through. We got to check out the locker room, get free stuff, and go on the ice and shoot the puck to win season tickets. The holes for the shoot the puck were THE SIZE of the puck, it was insanely hard. We saw 2 people make it. The first guy was a Hawks fan, and since he's not from the state, he was not allowed to have the season tickets. What bulls***. The 2nd person who made the shot they ruled did not count because the puck somehow rattled through the hole and did not clear the goalline completely. Basically, NHL goal rules applied and they said no. I missed my 1 shot, but I at least hit the board. I threw a wicked wrister down the ice. My plan was to sauce it with some style, and shoot it hard. Missed by a few inches, but I got a nice pic of it. Maybe some future references,in like 2-3 years?lol That sucks about the Hawks fan who scored it, man I would have sold all of those tix and only kept the Blackhawks games. Oh well, How far was the shot from?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2014 -> 11:57 PM) Less than 14k in attendance? All things considered, that's shockingly low on a Friday night with warmer weather and Sale pitching. I was there and even though I didn't have an exact number I knew the stadium still had well under 20 k. I can't say I'm surprised but watching this team and they're exciting and young and take you on a roller coaster,it's fun and sometimes it sucks but it's really tough to see the stadium so empty on a 60 degree Friday night game with Sale pitching.April or not.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Apr 11, 2014 -> 12:06 PM) you are not the only one. Good to know!

Everytime Nick Swisher comes to bat I want him to be plunked. Sorry I just had to get that off my chest.

Carrasco=Abreu HR #5 and #6!!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2014 -> 05:35 AM) Double holy f*** at the Minnesota goal, amazing. Colorado wins again, Hawks clinch the 3 seed. St. Louis continues their downward spiral, now the 2 seed. St.Louis psyche has to be in the sh***er,awesome.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 01:59 PM) This sucks. What a buzz kill. I retract my statement of us contending until September. De Aza and Viciedo need to step up big time Fingers crossed one of those two step up big time and can be traded for a good/great return.

This is definitely a tough pill to swallow.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 04:25 PM) Herm and Robin out to check on Garcia. We need that guy healthy

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 04:21 PM) Same here. The ESPN Gameday is the same.wtf!

MLB Gameday is telling me AR walked on 7 balls. and hasn't moved since
