QUOTE (scenario @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 11:33 AM) I wouldn't put him on your Kyle McCulloch type hate list yet. If he wasn't KW's son, would you really get this irritated about him? He's played less than two full seasons in the minors. He's got athletic genes. And he showed significant improvement in the second half of the season this year... batting .282 after the all-star break. I think it's worth seeming him at the AA-level (and healthy) before we try to force him into retirement. No one would be.

Seems there is an odd amount of 2 game series next year. And i'm pissed they play a 4 game set at NY and for the second straight year it's pretty much at the worst possible time. Argh.

My best girl friend just texted me and said she was a street shout out for cash cab today. I'm jealous, I wanna be on cash cab one of these days haha.

Saints

KANSAS CITY! It's been years since I've been so pleased with the start from this team. I hated the McCluster pick on draft day and boy was I wrong. What an exciting combo he and Arenas are. They may not be a playoff team, but at least it appears they won't suck and will be fun to watch this year, especially if the passing game picks it up.

Always Sunny and the Legaue this Thursday! Not much I'm really looking forward too this year. Dexter I can't wait for, HIMYM and Big Bang. I wanna give s*** My Dad Says a shot, the Office i'll watch again. V picked it up to close the first season so I'll give it another chance. The Borgias looks to be good but that's later this fall. Lot's of shows I used to watch are gone now.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 01:57 PM) Hard to be honest and get elected. At least in this country. I don't think they need to break ethics rules, though. Not that this is wrong, at all, but how absolutely pathetic and disgusting is that statement...

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 10:16 AM) Also, by the way, if you are still on 2.1 Android, I'd stay there. Do NOT do the Froyo 2.2 update for now, because the majority of people I've spoken with and on these forums are saying its not an upgrade at all, its more of a downgrade. Ugh, yeah too late. I got the message last week and upgraded it. Don't like the new text screens, it takes forever to charge and it seems the battery goes even faster now.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 08:49 AM) I have the D Inc, and I love it. Worlds better than my old BB Curve. There are a couple annoyances, its not a perfect phone: the battery life could be a lot better, and you may need to do some tweaking to make it get through the day. That's the biggest ones. The others are related to email folder tree updates and things you probably don't care about. Overall, I love it - just make sure you do a lot of little things to improve the battery life. Like what? I'd be interested in knowing for my own Incredible.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 01:00 AM) T-mobile sucks and I'm switching to Verizon. I'm trying to decide between these two. Anybody that's been with or currently with Verizon and has had one of or even both of these phones? Which is better? I hear they both have to be charged constantly. But that's no big deal to me. Any input would be appreciated. I have the Incredible and absolutely love it. Yes, it has to be charged all the time, which can be annoying, but that's the only issue I have with the phone. Speaker could be louder too, but complaining about that is just searching for something to complain about.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) I can't stop watching this...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) And you shouldn't have been. But mid-2011 or 2012 was a possibility, as it was with Morel, and Teahen is still on the hook for $5.5 million in 2012. If you thought that changing hitting coaches would make the .900 OPS from the 2nd half of 2006 reappear, then that's a defensible contract. I don't know what was talked about behind the scenes about him so I'll hold that open...but this guy we've got isnt' worth that. It wasn't the best contract but I had no problem extending him through 2011. I was fine with Viciedo's year last year but assumed he was still best case mid-2011 and Morel probably not until 2012. And factoring in what he would have gotten in arbitration (someone did this a while back) it is not that significant of a raise. I was just pointing out that blaming KW was rushing the extension because we had someone "waiting in the wings" is just flat out not true. And using Morel as that person just doesn't work. If anyone was going to be the opening day 3B in 2011 people would have said Viciedo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) Viciedo might have been though, and that was an awful lot of money to commit to a guy with the career history of Teahen. Even if you didn't expect Morel to be ready for 2-3 years...that was a lot of money to commit to a guy like Teahen. It's hard to use Viciedo for that argument though. There were many people on this board very disappointed or upset at the season DV had last year. I don't remember what side of that fence you were on, but there weren't too many people penciling DV into the 3B role in 2011 8 months ago.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) I never understood KW hurry to sign him to an extension especially with Morel waiting in the wings now Sox are stuck with him! Morel wasn't exactly "waiting in the wings" when the extension was signed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 01:39 PM) I love stacking the lineup with righties even though Porcello really struggles against LHP. Hell, give me De Aza in CF over the K/DP machine in Rios.

Well this is a terrible start

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 11:44 AM) The Sox went on a 10 game road trip while the Twins played 9 at home. If after this trip the end result is a loss of .5 game and going 8-2 you can not ask for anything more. If the Twins play .900 ball all you can do is laugh and hope the Sox finish strong. My silver lining is I think thsi team will be really good next year. I hope they can get a .5 game today and one over the weekend and g ofrom there. The Twins are great at home but can be beat on the road.....let's hope so. Seriously. As frustrating as it may be, if we go 8-2 on a 10 game road trip that takes us through Detroit and Boston and still manage to lose ground in the division, you just have to tip your cap. Hard to get too angry at the Sox for playing .800 ball on the road. That said, I agree we need this game and then to make up one game next series. If we can go into the Twins series 4 back, then anything is possible. Although a sweep would be quite a feat, it is not out of question and then to be 1 game back with 2 weeks to go anything can happen.

Titans

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 10:08 AM) NHL 11 came out yesterday!?!??! Cash money bye bye. Picked it up yesterday and also reserved AC:Brotherhood while I was at it, Game plays a little differently than NHL 10. Gonna have to get used to it some. Cool that the major junior leagues are included, and with real players too. Probably won't use it much but it's a nice addition.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Hey man, it could happen. Back like 4-5 years ago I was on the sports forum on 2k Sports website. Will Rhymes was a poster on that site and talked about playing in the low minor leagues for Oneonta and West Michigan and stuff. It's really odd to see a guy I used to talk sports with on a sports forum now playing baseball in the minor leagues. In fact, I even FOUND the thread from back in 2006. LOL....... http://2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?...ighlight=Rhymes Apparently Wes Bankston made the majors in 2008. HAHAHA at your location "Alright..im warming up to Danks...but I still like Bmac better"

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 02:44 PM) The Sox win tonight, Twins lose. Sox win tomorrow and they are just 3 games back. Too bad we were already informed that won't happen

I try to get Kwik Fill gas since it's American and usually cheaper around me. But whenever i'm around NYC I usually have to get BP or Shell since that's what's around.

Kitten Mittons, you'll be smitten

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) I'd like to see that. Won't happen. Is he even with the team yet?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 10:26 PM) Ouch. Sometimes I think people just like to be in a position of being hurt all the time. Maybe it's because they think they're not good enough to be treated great, or maybe because it's all they know, or they think they can change the other person eventually. Whatever the reason is it seems like it never ends up working for them. Based on a recent experience of mine, I honestly think a lot of girls really think that. Because often times there's just no other explanation.
