I thought that was down off the bat. Ball just hung up too much

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) Well its a little bit you. And Rock, And Sonix. It isnt a bad thing, i understand the difference between theater of the mind and putting it to a movie/tv show. I just dont want to be let down, you know? This show delivers on so many different levels, and me and my buddy have a lot of conversations during and after the show. I would hate for me to have to stifle that conversation because I knew something was coming. This is the part when Steve comes in and cries about me ruining the Purple Wedding on facebook. I'm not in the least disappointed in the show. I thought the dragon kidnapping story line was stupid and there have been a few minor to mid-importance characters that have been unfortunately omitted, but I treat these are separate stories and love the show. I like the books more and would rather read the conclusion before seeing it, but the show has been an A+ for since the beginning

Being banned for life is great. It'd be even greater if the Hansen/Ballmer group buys the team and moves it to Seattle

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) It's the NBA. It's not like the federal government is fining him. I understand that, but I mean, he never made these comments publicly. The guy could be the biggest asshole ever, and appears to be up there, but I just have a hard time accepting the validity of this sort of punishment for something that was said in the privacy of his own home with only him and his significant other in the room. He should absolutely be strong armed out of the league, there is no question about that, but it's quite unfair to have private words used against you because someone secretly recorded and then released the conversation

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 02:04 PM) Rumor is indefinite suspension and $5million fine. Looks like he will retain ownership, for now. I am in no way defending him or what he said, but does anyone else have a major issue with him being fined for comments made in private that someone illegally recorded without one party being aware? To me, the legality of such a thing seems a bit tenuous

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 11:42 AM) THat trailer for The Leftovers was really well done. I'm intrigued to say the least. Yes it was. I'm looking forward to watching it this summer as well

If Adam Dunn continues playing well I'd be shocked if we did not trade him at the deadline

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:59 AM) Much more at link http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/apr/...reparations-ioc How can these organizers pretend to be surprised by this? Look at where they have been awarded major sporting events recently. No s***.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 09:54 AM) I thought that the first time through since there were slow parts but going back through the series I liked it even more. That could be true. I've never done a re-read but I plan to once a release date for WoW is announced.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 09:06 AM) I disagree on the books. I loved them all. At least a third of AFfC was almost unreadable. I would have been pretty pissed if I had been waiting years for book number 4 and then that's what came out

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 12:45 AM) Who was the one who made the statement we would never get over .500 after Sale's injury? Soxfest. It's what he does.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) My least favorite scene was littlefinger having to spell this s*** out to Sansa for the second week in a row. Like...really Sansa? He told you this a week ago. What do you think he was doing with that necklace? I think that scene was really more for the audience if they hadn't completely connected the dots yet.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 02:03 PM) In the books Yeah I would agree with that

QUOTE (onedude @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 11:05 PM) Dunno what to think of the deviation of the show from the books after that episode. I like some of the changes and the filler, but some of this stuff can cause problems for characters in the future. The deviation with Craster's Keep I'm chalking up to them needing filler for Bran's story line since there's not much stuff in it until he meets CH and BR. As for the white walker scene, well, it looks like we finally got a spoiler of our own for the future books. That being done to the babies was hinted at in the books with Craster's wives saying their sons came back as the "cold gods", but I guess this now confirms it?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 14, 2014 -> 03:07 PM) Really regretting not getting in to PHOT when my dad did. He bought in at 0.25, and its at 0.60 after like a month. Made a few grand so far. He's expecting it to reach $1.00 by June. I bought in to OSLH today at 0.20. Hopefully he got out of it. Down over 50% to .22 cents today. Those kind of stocks can crash fast.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 12:39 PM) You might think this is funny, but one of my managers actually keeps stats for his entire team. http://www.mitcharf.com/mitcharf/softball/ QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 12:59 PM) I dont think it is funny at all http://www.leaguelineup.com/teams_baseball...p;sid=287964672 My previous team Cobra Kai is also on league lineup We use GameChanger to keep our team stats. It is basically an electronic scorebook that automatically uploads the data to the site once you set up your team. It's fun to do and helps out with bragging rights between the team

Semien has seen 30 pitches today. That's beneficial for any lineup

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) Win or lose, it's great to see an offense that you think can rally from any deficit! It's scary how much this Sox team reminds me of the Bears from last year. Yeah it is. If we had an actual bullpen we'd have an outside shot at competing this year. Team definitely has shown signs of a bright future, which is the least you can ask out of a young team

Every run with 2 outs and we can't buy a 2 out hit. That'll make a difference. Very disheartening

Scherzer's sure getting a fairly generous strike zone today that's for sure

Beckham looks pretty bad so far. Probably would have been smarter to play Garcia in place of Gillaspie. He had a couple hits last night and has been watching major league pitching for a month

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 02:10 PM) Well I want to roast Robin for that stupid shift against Cabrera. He is too good of a hitter to give him that big of a hole to hit the ball That's a much more legitimate argument/complaint

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 02:05 PM) It's Miguel Cabrera...I wouldn't advocate pitching around anyone else besides him in the 3rd inning, even Trout. In that situation, he's just such a tough out. If you can't pitch to him in the 3rd inning of a 1-1 game with 2 outs and a 1-1 count then you're pretty much never going to feel comfortable pitching to him. If he was walked and the next batter hit a HR this site would have (rightfully) roasted Ventura

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Ugh, why are you pitching to Cabrera with an open base? Quintana struggling to get that 3rd out. He slapped a good pitch low and away right to where the 2B should have been playing. Silly to blame that run on choosing to not walk a guy in the 3rd inning.

Such a Twins-like lead the Tigers have gained so far today
