QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) Please....focus on the island. *crosses fingers* Doesn't look like that is gonna happen. I have a feeling we will have a clear view of what the alternate stuff is.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) The Widmore/Desmond hug was just creepy. Ha. Agreed. Awkward is another word. Desmond going to go back and forth from island to ALT?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) So pumped for the Desmond episode in 16 minutes. From what I read...epic.

Agreed on the jersey talk in last episode.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) Leonard's not going to do much during his freshman season statistically, and Richmond is likely to be more of an average statistical player than some offensive dynamo (I still haven't seen him it more than one jump shot in any game that's been on TV, and that's something he's going to need to do in Illinois' motion offense). Someone like Harrison Barnes is much more likely to come into UNC and just light it up. I'd also take UNC's bigs of Zeller and Henson over Davis/Tisdale any day. Losing Davis, Thompson, and Ginyard is definitely a positive for UNC. I think you underestimate Meyers. I like that when he is around the basket, he dunks everything. It's easy for him and I know guys will be stronger and bigger in Big Ten, but Tisdale goes up and tries to lay shots up and misses his fair share of bunnies. He could be a surprise next year. As for Richmond, points won't be as easy for him to come by but he plays above the rim and will be most helpful next year on the glass.

PTI shouldn't be close to being an option. Best out there IMO Around the Horn sucks. It was better with Kellerman but just seems like a clusterf*ck. Ditch it and make PTI an hour. SportsNation won me over with their Karate Kid episode.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 05:34 PM) I haven't seen any mention of DVR ratings anywhere. If they made a difference, I'm sure we would of been told.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) In other news, two solid ballgames on MLBN tonight. Yes! Oh wait, I have U-Verse

The addition of Diamond Taylor should have SIU in preseason top 15....Ok ok, I'm done....maybe

Went through Impact. The ANderson/Angle ladder match was VERY good. There were a few times when the timing was off, like Anderson/Angle having to wait at the top of the ladder for the other, but the ending was very well done. This had been a very good angle, pun intended, for the past few months.

SIU!!!! We would beat Illinois at least 3 out of 10 times!

QUOTE (The Critic @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 09:19 PM) I didn't see the whole show - did the SHOCKING SURPRISE ENTRANT ever show up on Impact? Didn't see all of it, and have confess, if Velvet Sky is on Impact, I flip over no matter what is on Raw these days.

So let me get this straight, fathom thinks Howards sucks, right?

What a lame way to take the Knockouts Title off Tara in TNA.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) Otunga has a lisp, too? Swagger and Otunga = Dueling Sylvesters. Didn't notice it on Otunga, but Swaggers is sooooo distracting.

Glad they got my girl Velvet on before NCAA/Raw.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 06:55 PM) Christopher Daniels is gone from TNA. He appeared at Ring of Honor's show over the weekend. and for a spoiler regarding tonight's Impact, . Shocking....ly lame

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) What if it happens that the guy who had the uber high WZARBA was actually the better hitter and had a better chance of helping the team win? Are you still going to slap the guy for being right? Hold on, is that an actual stat? I seriously thought I made it up. And yes. I would.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) IT'S COLORFUL NEEDS SOUND EFFECTS! Maybe like a dart sound when they light up a ball or strike...I keed.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) You can choose whether or not you want to use or understand sabermetrics, but saying they are ruining the game is a joke. Without sabermetrics, there are more than a few players the game doesn't appreciate as much as they are. And I don't think sabermetrics are totally ruining the game. I just think they ruins certain aspects more than fantasy baseball is the comparison I meant to make. I get the sense people play fantasy baseball for fun, comapred to fantasy football where money is usually involved. I'll just say that if I am at a White Sox game and I hear someone near me say think they think someone should pinch hit because they lead the league in WZARBA with 2 outs when facing a pitcher who pitched the night before for an inning, I would probably turn around and slap him.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) I like the movie Mean Girls, and have watched it multiple times.....alone. I like that movie but now cry when I see it. Sigh, what once was.

SPOILER ALERT!!! not really

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) How are sabermetrics ruining the game? You can argue either way about fantasy baseball, but how has sabermetrics ruined anything? Is mixing statistics, science, and sports wrong in your opinion? Are you tired of people bashing you over the head with things that are probably right? If it was so bad, why are teams like the Mariners and Red Sox using sabermetric methods to build their teams? With all these obscene stats and numbers that people live and die by, why not just load the numbers into the computer and have them pick a World Series winner? Some of the stats are so stupid cuz they don't into effect certain things like weather and injuries and if a player knocks his girlfriend up. I have nothing against science in the game. It can keep players healthy and teach technique.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) You really think Morgan would compare himself to a white player? Um, I mean Willie Mays.
