The Critic

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 07:05 PM) I find Adamle hilarious. He's just not a good announcer. I like this move. I'm not a fan, but maybe Freddie Prinze Jr has some awesome storyline ideas for him.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 12:36 PM) Critic, you actually stuck around for the ending of the movie!?! In your world I would think that should give the movie an instant 9 out of 10 stars!!! Movie World is the opposite of Sporting Event and Concert World for me. I've almost never left a movie early. It has to REALLY suck for me to bail out.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 11:29 AM) A good generic rant "Insert former star player's name" Last year it was Dye. Earlier this season it was Thome. Now it's Konerko. Yep. And someday it will be Thee Carlos Quentin as well.

I guess we have no choice but to see how this plays out, but Adamle as GM could be worse than Coachman.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:36 AM) I need a screen shot of Southsider2k5 with 2 posts Yeah, no one would believe it otherwise.

Agree to disagree. Oh, and I went to the 6:45 PM show, so I already had my Early Bird Special from Denny's by then.....and I NEVER miss my nap.....[green?]

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 10:48 AM) I hope i'm not ornery like you when I get old Critic ...I thought I was being conciliatory...

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) Dragged? Are you sure you didn't see Mama Mia instead? Sorry, man, but that last hour or so felt like forever. It wasn't uninteresting, but it wasn't spellbinding either.

This could work in the Stupid Hilarious Videos thread, because it is stupid and hilarious. It's also sad, pathetic and maddening. Enjoy......THE SANDMAAAAAAANNNNnnnnn!!!!!

I finally got the chance to see TDK last night. It was good - not great IMO, but a solid 7. Ledger was great, I enjoyed every second he was onscreen. There were a lot of striking visuals, but the movie itself kind of dragged. I'm sure I'll rent it when the DVD comes out to see it again, but I don't want to own it.

He looks a little like ex-Chicago radio host Garry Meier. He's got decent heat, but he looks nervous as hell. Just gave up the tying run after putting Ramirez in scoring position by air-mailing a pitchout.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 10:45 AM) I like how as this was all go doing, the Peoria Chiefs announcer was reacting to the fans booing after the idiot threw the ball into the stands. He said something like "I don't know why they're booing, it's their hotheaded players that started all of this." Wow, what a dumb comment.

Sammy Hagar is rapidly becoming Jimmy Buffett Jr. (although Sammy may actually be older than Buffett) If I ever had to attend a Buffett show, I would end up swimming in a lake of my own vomit. HEY, LOOK AT ME, I'M PARTYING!!! THIS IS A PARTY!!! DID I MENTION I'M PARTYING AT A PARTY????? Ugh and ugh.

QUOTE (DumpJerry @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 06:08 PM) As a condition to play you guys next year we make the following demands: 1. Pratt plays middle infield for Soxtalk. 2. Pratt gives WSI our locker room talk before the game. He's a tremendous motivational speaker. Really. :lol: Pratt is human "billboard material".

Math is hard. I was told there would be no test today.

This is karma for all those temperature readings last winter.... Seriously, Tex, I hope the worst of it misses you.

Juan's gotta get that hamster off his chin.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 07:10 PM) She's hot. Shadows only likes the skinny girls. Probably thinks Michelle McCool is hot even though she could hid behind a broom stick and not be seen. Kelly Kelly is hot, but she is no Maryse! Maryse is quite good-looking, but her orange hue is slightly disturbing.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) Word on the street is his mom escaped from the Narrows and his sister was harboring her. Crime doesn't pay, eh Critic? Bald Bryan on the Adam Carolla Show: "Well, to be fair, they were dressed as the Riddler and Mr. Freeze."

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 10:27 AM) EXCUSE ME!..... EXCUSE ME!..... I'M TRYING TO SPEAK!... eXCUSE ME!.... Goddammit, I can't dispute a great heel promo like that. You win, Vickie Guerrero!!!

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 08:29 AM) Whats up with Christian Bale? http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/...d.ap/index.html They must've been doing something illegal. He's a crimefighter - crimefighters fight crime. It's what they do.

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 06:32 PM) Are they actually trying to turn Vickie babyface now? Terrible move. She's the best heel they've had in a long time. You think so? For me, she gets the "Get Off My Television" heat usually reserved for useless bags of crap like Jeff Jarrett and Sean Waltman. Not that she'd make a good babyface, either. She's useless.

It pulled in $155.3 million over the weekend. Biggest weekend draw in history. Anyone surprised at that number? I'm not.

So did you get the game in? If so, who won?
