Should of contracted the Expos when the had the chance. Do the Nationals even have any minor league prospects that are touted? I'm still up in the air on Zimmerman.

Alright, here we go. I didn't think "Tropic Thunder" was as bad as a lot of people say. I laughed a few times and was entertained. It wasn't as great as some critics say. McConaghey was awesome and RDJr. It's one of those movies I watched, liked, but won't buy or watch again. The part I laughed the most at, was when McConaghey tells Stiller that he is lucky that he gets to pick his son. Than pans to the photo of him with the cheesy smile next to his son. I have no idea why I found it so hilarious, but it took me like a minute to settle down. Also, like 4 people walked out in the middle of it. I think that is stupid. You pay $7 a piece to see a movie than leave in the middle of it. I have paid to see some stinkers and stuck around for the whole thing so I don't feel jipped.

Watch A Lot of Video Online?
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 10:48 AM) DSL just isnt as good as cable, its fine for some people, but its just not in the same league. Having went from cable to DSL, I don't personally see a big difference. Video still plays smooth and everything. Like I said, only thing I don't like is that it slows down when someone is on the house phone, but that is why we have cell phones.

I'm sure Manu would of helped, but he wasn't exactly playing great before he went down. Had a couple of fouls on him and wasn't finishing or scoring.

Watching the game online, is it wrong that I like it without the commentary? US has to be dominating the boards. Would be nice if they could make more free throws. ARG gets nothing close to the basket.

Watch A Lot of Video Online?
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 10:36 AM) Theres no other internet options around here, unless you want DSL which is craptastic. I have moved to using my 3G aircard more often. I have DSL with AT&T and think it's fine. When the house phone is in use, it is a tad slower but that's why we have cell phones.

8/22 Rays vs White Sox 7:11 PM CDT - CSN
Danks is 2-0 with a minuscule ERA against TB this year and we usually hit Jackson around pretty well.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:08 AM) Boy what a horrible 2nd quarter for the U.S., 21 point lead early in the 2nd is down to 9 at halftime. They might want to wake up and keep in mind that they go right back to laughingstock if they lose, and not only that, but even worse since they would have blown a 21 point lead if that occurs. Why are they showing this on tape delay on NBC? They could of cut the Today show short.

Nothing like pinch hitting for a DH hitting .140 with a guy batting .180.

Just saw they are investigating the age of one of the Chinese gymnasts. He Kexin may actually be only 14. If found to be 14, the US will be awarded the team gold and Nastia will be awarded a gold in one of the individual events.

Nice 81 yard TD drive. I liked it cuz Orton stood strong in the pocket and didn't panic like Rex would. he looked off safeties and defense on that long pass to Bradley, and they didn't settle for a FG after an O-line penalty negated a TD catch by Olson.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 01:22 AM) The Twins piss me off. Don't they know this division is ours this year? Why won't they go away? Those bastards. They probably say the same thing about us.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) If Boldin became available in anyway, Jerry Jones would be all over it in a flash. And Kyle, I don't know if you'd call signing Archuleta and Darwin Walker "big moves". Archuleta had regressed big time since his early days with the Rams, and was found out to be a run support safety who's decent in the box, but covers worse than Roy Williams and isn't a very good tackler, while Walker I would call a "system DT". I don't see a lot of hope for the Bears right now for the upcoming season to be honest also. I thought the Darwin Walker pick up was a steal and a great move. Just didn't work out. I don't think many were excited about Archuletta.

Definitely Bolt. Mixed with the fact that I have trouble taking Beach Volleyball seriously as an Olympic sport. Lets ditch baseball and softball but keep Beach Volleyball. Maybe Frankie Avalon can make an appearance.

Airline sinks to new low.
I was flying to Arizona last year and had a drink of McD's and they made me throw it out or finish it before I got on the plane. They must have been prejudice against the handsome.
