Borrowing my buddy's two kids this afternoon so I have an excuse to go see Toy Story 3. So sue me.

Why is TNA shooting their backstage stuff on digital tape? Makes it look even more staged.

They are rarely using Velvet these days. She was on last week but before that she wasn't on for 3 weeks and nothing again this week. Lame

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) If they didn't have him and only had Rolen this year, they wouldn't be in the same position anyway. Either way, I agree on your second point. Votto has been getting better and better every year and is finally starting to get his due, albeit not as much as he deserves. We could go back and forth on it, but probably the main reason they are where they are is guys like Leake and Cueto. Ha

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) Hehe, clutch. That's funny. Scott Rolen gets an edge because he's more "clutch" than Votto and Pujols. A "down" month for Albert Pujols is a .300 AVG, .940 OPS and .390 wOBA. Yeah, cuz I was disputing Albert's greatness. Right. There has been times where Albert hasn't homered in 20 days or so and HRs are obviously what makes him special. Some of it is probably credited to the inconsistent Holliday behind him. I would go with Rolen or Votto over him now, because the Reds are in first. That may not last, but I don't think a guy can be an MVP unless his team wins the division or at least makes the playoffs.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) Votto has more runs, hits, HRs, RBIs, SBs, higher BA, OBP, OPS. Rolen has more doubles & his slugging % is about six points higher. Votto's WAR is 2.9, Rolen's is 2.2. I don't doubt Rolen has been a huge key to their success and he's great story, but where the f*** would they be without Votto? Where have they been the last few years with him? Votto needed a season like this for Cincy to finally get national recognition. Well deserved.

Didn't know if it was unrelated to his bumps or not. Glad it is not, but if God forbid something happens, the media will be all over it. He wrestled with his son at FCW a few weeks ago and still had it.

Is it possible to combine the two threads, Lebron/NBA, into one or lock one and rename it? I get confused as to which thread I post in.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 07:10 PM) Over Wright, Votto & Pujols? Albert has gone through some tough stretches this year. Rolen has been awesome and clutch. How often are the Reds in this position in July? They would be nowhere without him. He's finally healthy.

Scott Rolen is my leader for NL MVP

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 10:04 AM) Am I crazy when I say Mr. Vladimir Guerrero is a legitimate MVP candidate? The numbers are eye-popping: .339/18/68/.383/.580/.962. Not bad for 5.5 million. And has the Ranger front office done a hell of a job putting together that team or what? A combination of excellent scouting/drafting and two amazingly awesome trades (Hamilton for Volquez/Andrus, Feliz for Tex). You look at their roster and other than Michael Young, who's having a great year, there isn't one bad contract on that team. Texas is set up to own that division for a while. They still can't put together a pitching staff. I know Colby Lewis is over achieving but Feldman isn't going to repeat, or come close to what he did last year. Who the hell else is starting for them? I understand it is difficult to recruit pitcher to pitch in Arlington for half the season though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) Watch Cleveland do everything in their power to trade for Chris Paul They have nothing NO would want...I assume.

Lebron staying in Cleveland would be a buzzkill.

HALLE-FN-LUJIAH!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:42 PM) This better be Randy Williams last game on the Sox roster. If the Sox don't have the intellect to release him, then f*** them, they deserve to lose. Randy Williams has done nothing to prove that he even deserves to be in before Threets. Obviously cost us the game with his record breaking WHIP

Last Airbender getting destroyed in reviews. Stop making movie M. Knight. You are bad.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) Since when are Rose and Wade drastically different players? They're roughly the same size (both about 6'3" or 6'4" with good bulk), they both have the ball in their hands most of the game, they both do most of their damage on the drive, and neither of them can hit a 3 with any kind of efficiency. That sounds pretty similar to me. Are they exactly the same player? No, Wade is better at finishing at the rim, gets to the line more and plays better D, while Rose is a better mid-range shooter. It's not much of a stretch to say that their respective production/efficiency would go down a bit if they had to share the floor since they have most of the same strengths and weaknesses. They're both good so they'd make it work, but it's less than ideal. Wade can shoot the 3 and post up. Rose is a mid range guy and penetrator. Wade obviously penetrates as well. Bernstein saying they couldn't play together is way off.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 08:01 PM) Did you have to look away whenever they showed Jonah Hill's girlfriend also? Not at all. I watch Mad Men so I'm familiar with her. She isn't that bad looking. Just a plain jane who may or may not need a nose job. I felt more inclined to look away when they showed JOnah Hill but I would missed a lot.

Richard Jefferson opts out of San ANtonio, walking away from 15 million dollars. WTF

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) knowledge or opinion aside, he does have great contacts after covering the BUlls for so many years. Not questioning his sources, but he is way off base on this opinion.

I don't regret seeing "Get Him to the Greek", but I wouldn't watch it again. Thought the ending was about to go the way of "Chasing Amy" ending or "The Wrester" at times. I can't stand P. Diddy but he was hilarious.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 07:27 PM) People can hate on Dan Bernstein or whatever, but im just repeating what he, who is a knowledgable nba guy, said. Wade and Rose together doesnt make sense, my apologies if they arent the exact position He must have told you he was a knowledgable NBA guy. He really isn't if that is his opinion. Rose and Wade are not even close to being the same player.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) I have met Lebatard before and he is a complete self consumed dooshbag. Obviously doesnt mean anything in regards to himm breaking news I just think its funny when guys like him look stupid with some of their "sure bet" reports. If Bosh does not go to Miami in a sign and trade, IMO, his credibility takes a hit.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) Wait, what? JJ=Redick
