QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 09:33 PM) Getting away from this for the day was good for me. Ditto. I think I am in a place where I'm not believing anything until they are signed. No rumors, no hear say.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) Kazmir was my Clayton Kershaw 4 years ago. Man has he fallen off. Didn't he used to throw 95?

God Bless, Bill Simmons.

Good to see Gavin get some run support finally.

Superman, Batman, and Rodman played pretty well together.

1 game

That was the best slider Matt has thrown in years.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) Thor shook off the slider When I saw him shake his head, I got scared for a sec.

Awful throw, but shame on Kotsay for not hustling after that ball to tag VLad

I don't want Sabermetrics in my other sports. I'll let you guys stick with it for baseball, but that is it.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 04:01 PM) Anyone know why MLB Extra Innings doesn't seem to be carrying the white sox game today? It makes me want to blow things up!! I'm guessing cuz ESPN has rights to Sunday NIght games outside of local viewing.

Hope Q is in the hole

We hit the ball hard, it is right at someone. They hit the ball, dink and duck snort style. Frustrating.

Get Andruw outta here

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) RicBucher: If Wade isn't staying in Mia, someone needs to explain why. He bangs the drum for weeks for Pat, now he's going to Chi/NY? Makes 0 sense. 1 minute ago via web BECAUSE HE HAS NOBODY ELSE TO PLAY WITH!!! Bucher must have a thick skull.

That was an implosion.

A lot of shows, I can do the marathon watch thing. But couldn't do it with True Blood. I'd watch one and have to stop for at least an hour.

Damnit, guys. I left for 10 minutes, come back, and ya'll got no news! WTF

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 04:17 PM) Do Bulls fans really want Wade over LeBron? The meatheads on the score today have been wanting Wade over LeBron. I can't believe that more people in Chicago want Wade over LeBron, no matter where he grew up. That is ridiculous and it shouldn't even be close. I'll take Wade if we don't get Lebron, obviously, but people can't be serious.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) The fact that LeBron didn't make a statement to the fans like people said he was earlier today has to bode well for the Bulls (and the other teams I suppose minus Cleveland). I thought the same thing.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 10:12 AM) Finished my True Blood season 1 and 2 marathon last night. Got through both season in just over 2 weeks. Look forward to catching up to the current season. This season has been my favorite so far.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) I remember when the first one came out, and I had no idea what it was.. I was going to go with this girl, but it fell apart.. I am glad that I have never seen any twilight movie, but often think about how I almost willingly went to see the first one because I had no idea what it was.. Netflixed it. Turned it off halfway through.
