QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 01:40 PM) I know there are already 7 sold out theatres at the AMC30 South Barrington by my house for the midnight show. I have a feeling this movie is going to do very well. The theatre in Lincolnshire is showing it all day starting tonight at 12:01 am. Lots of shows sold out. The only IMAX showing not sold out tomorrow is 6am.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 11:56 AM) I guess Spiderman grossed $151 million in its first weekend, any guesses as to how the Bat does? Spider-Man Opening Weekend according to imdb.com and boxofficemojo.com $114,844,116 (USA) (5 May 2002) (3,615 Screens) Didn't AquaMan starring Vinnie Chase break this record? Spider-Man 3 opened at a whopping $151,116,516. I don't think TDK will beat this, but who knows.

I play in a Wednesday night summer basketball league. Our team is starting to wonder if we have looks on our faces that piss refs off cuz every game is so lopsided on fouls. Tonight, I posted up and dropped stepped baseline. My defender swiped down and got all arm. This big slap rang out through the gym and no call. I didn't say anything. Than on the other end, my teammate got called for the same things and I asked the ref, "Can we get that called on the other end, please." I was legit polite, and he T'd me up. I was fighting for a loose ball and a guy from the other team had it, dribbled off his leg, dove for it, and slid out of bounds with the ball on his leg, and the ref called it out on me. Fouls in the 2nd half were 13-2 against us. 3 of the fouls we committed to put the other team at the line. It's like this every week. One guy on our team who can't touch the rim, got called for goaltending on a blocked shot. I am still so mad, I won't be able to go to sleep til I settle down.

Skillz

For all you people that know what this means, educate the less educated, like me. Will prices drop? How long?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 01:44 PM) Jesse Rogers was just on with Mike Murphy (ugh) and insinuated that Josh Hamilton was using a corked bat during the Derby yesterday. With Mike North gone, Jesse Rogers days are numbered. There is no way he can report this without evidence. It's borderline yellow journalism.

$4.15 in Gurnee

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 02:51 AM) I enjoyed Get Smart. Nothing spectacular, but it was pretty funny and entertaining. Eh. Had its moments. Went to the theatre this afternoon. Lots of people going to see "Journey to the Center of the Earth." They were charging people $2 for the 3D glasses, and they had to give them back when the movie was over. What kinda crap is that?

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:40 AM) That would have been awesome if CQ while hugging Morneau just suplexed him.... Ultimate heel turn.

I live for this!

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 11:14 PM) I have loathed him since the 2005 playoffs. I don't think that taste is there.

Hinting a Francona forfeit?

I'm giving it the 15th, than I am outta here.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:09 AM) HAHA @ Webb's face. "This is bulls***." Did he say that?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:04 AM) I mean today.

Thought that was gone.

As bad as I want the AL to win, this is getting to a point where they may have to call it.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 11:42 PM) I think next year they should expand the all star pitching roster. This should be the last year of the home field stipulation.

That last shot of Selig before the break is caption worthy.
