Anyone hear sales numbers for PS3? I've heard that it was a dissapointment, but haven't really seen any reports on it.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jan 20, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) Could easily be the Cubs' 2nd best pitcher this year, but gets routinely ignored. That could replace the phrase "world's tallest midget" but as I posted above, he does look like he has a chance to be good... I still stick by my point that going into the season, NL or not, having Lily as your #2 on paper (obviously with Prior a question mark) is not the greatest situation

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jan 20, 2007 -> 08:00 PM) Rich Hill true, he did have some solid outings and has a chance to contribute a lot this year, I did forget about him

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 07:59 PM) The more I read about it and remember it, there was some good stuff in this episode. While I still don't think it was as good as the past few episodes, it was solid nonetheless. I think I will just have to watch it again tonight! Also, I agree with those that feel the whole Dwight thing was over too quickly. I thought they could have stretched his return and Andy's "demise" longer and written some truly great stuff in that time. I have a feeling Andy will still be around and spin out more. This show is great IMO. The way they are handling the Pam/Jim thing is subtle and done well. I'm so lame that I have to TiVO the show so I don't have to be annoyed by commercials!

holy crap, I'll just throw this in on this thread since it's probably not worth starting a new one... but Jebus... with the Cubs convention this week the Cubs are getting pumped like there's no tomorrow... my fav so far is on espn.com that has an article saying Prior is ready! We've heard that before! But really, with all the money they spent this off-season they are STILL in the position of relying on Prior's health. Using hindsight, if they were dropping all this money, the Schmidt contract should have been one they stepped up with... IMO opinion, Carlos Schmidt Lily Prior Marquis looks a hell of a lot more solid than Carlos Lily Prior Marquis rotating rookie door of death

IMO this has been the perfect "Cub" signing all along, meaning they'll get a ton of press and hype out of it

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 06:12 PM) But on the hiring side -- they supposedly hired Ace Steel and Cassidy Riley. I believe Ace Steel was "Donald Trump" in the horrible Trump vs. Rosie "match" Great story about Ace Steel and Colt Cabana. At various points both have wrestled as jobbers for WWE, and they have eached used the others real name as their ring name.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 01:10 PM) Its especially inexcusable for a player like Vick who has millions and as you said can easily charter a plane. Adam Carolla use to tell stories how Jimmy Kimmel would charter planes for vacations and have pot brownies on them... yeah, chartering seems the way to go (not that admitting your friend is taking drugs in the air is great idea, but still..,.)

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 17, 2007 -> 09:12 PM) I remember reading online about Paul Wight jumping over a month or so before it happened and it was being reported that he would interfere in that cage match between Austin and McMahon. The Radicalz jumping was so fast. One day they got their release and the next they were on Raw which we all knew what would happen. Yeah, that was out there a little bit before hand. It was at the height of the WCW/WWF Monday Night Wars, and he did a great job of playing the sides against each other and getting his HUGE WWF contract

QUOTE(shipps @ Jan 15, 2007 -> 08:57 AM) Ya,Iam talking about when he rebuilt his dads house.I thought it got cancelled cause I was watching it on Comcast ONDEMAND and they only showed 3 episodes.I loved the hispanic guy!So what happenned? it continued with the same format of focusing on the crew etc... they ended up finishing the house, and I believe at the time of the finale they hadn't sold it yet, but I'm pretty sure they eventually sold it.

QUOTE(shipps @ Jan 14, 2007 -> 07:09 AM) Adam Corrolla project.They had like 4 episodes and I never could find out what happened!I looked on the web and nowhere has what happened. If you're talking about his show on TLC or Discovery where he bought his dad's house and rebuilt it, then they showed that whole season. It was like 10 episodes or something. I'm a huge Carolla fan and watched all of them. If you're talking about his talkshow on Comedy Central, they axed that after about a month or so. Clone High on MTV was an excellent show, so since it was MTV of course it didn't last.... Someone mentioned Greg The Bunny earlier on, they have done new shorts the last two years on IFC. It's Greg, Warren the Ape, Blah and the Wumpus as the main puppets on it.

It's just weird that KW keeps saying things like "we don't want to tie up that much money in one playey" or similar things. If the Sox keep their attendance and ratings up they will likely continue to have a top 5-10 payroll. At some point they are going to have to give a player a boat load of money. I think they have a lot of money coming off the books after this season, they will have a lot of money to play with, I am very intrigued to see how they handle this.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 10:59 AM) Anna Nicole Smith and Pam Anderson. Agree with you. Adam Carolla described Pam Anderson the best, he said her and woman with that look are "Female, female impersonaters." I don't think anyone but woman find her attractive, but Sara Jessica Parker is not attractive, IMO she's actively ugly, meaning she's not just like a 5, she's a 4 or a 3. Yet she is put out their as "hot" and "sexy"

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) Cheri O'Teri Mimi, that chick from the magic bullet infomercial I'm down with that one!

QUOTE(maggliopipe @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 01:51 PM) Sopranos Entourage Grey's Anatomy (not mine, but I do like the show a lot) Meet the Press Scrubs America's Next Top Model (not mine again...) Making the Band (most definitely not mine... god this is terrible...) Good lord, if this is the P-Diddy one with the female group, it's worth watching for Aubrey O'day alone, that girl is fine

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 11:03 AM) I've said it before and I'll say it again...PETA does more to hurt the cause of animal rights in this country than any other group possibly could. They may hurt their own cause more than any other group in the nation. PETA is very scary to me. I know this may not be the greatest "source", but Penn and Teller on their show Bulls**t exposed how dangerous they are. They support bombers, etc... I don't think people really that much about them when they support them, IMO, in an effort to be trendy. I remember from the show how one of their higher ups uses insulin that was tested on animals, but said she can do it since she is so important in saving animals it is OK, but other people should boycott similar treatments.

Maura Tierney from ER and Liar Liar... she just does it for me!!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 09:22 AM) Especially since the samething happens time and time again. You think people would figure this out. Easily my favorite one was the original Tickle Me Elmo. Those things were selling for a ridiculous amont over retail, and about 2-4 weeks after X-Mas they were on the shelves at all toy stores. It was all for a toy for kids who could never appreciate how much their parents went through and paid to get it. Basically the parents wanted to tell their friends that they go their kids one...

QUOTE(PAUL KONERKO 14 @ Jan 3, 2007 -> 04:53 PM) I think Haeger should be our 5th starter, he's had a bit of experience in the majors (about 7 innings lol) and I don't think he would do that bad. It is tempting to have a knuckle-baller up with the major league club. Look at Wakefield, Hawk has mentioned it a few times, but if you can get a quality knuckle-baller he is a bullpen/rotation savior. However, Wakefield is the only one I can think of who has had an impact the last few years, so not counting on CH to come through. If he could, he would be my choice for 5th starter, and let the top prospects develop at their own pace.

I have TiVo and have a ton of memory, but mine are; 1. Cheap Seats 2. MXC 3. Penn & Teller Bulls**t 4. Jimmy Kimmel Live 5. Dog the Bounty Hunter 6. Wild Boyz 7. Greg the Bunny

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2007 -> 09:59 PM) I'm starting to think that aside from dealing with steroids, one of the biggest issues for the new NFL commissioner is going to wind up being a David Stern type crackdown on behavior. The Bengals, Tank Johnson, this, and I'm sure there's a lot of others not coming to mind...people in the NFL just aren't making smart decisions about where to go and who to associate with and the league isn't doing nearly as much about it as they should. he already mentioned that he has concerns about NFL players and guns, so hopefully he follows through on this. King in his SI.com article has about 2 pages on the story that are very good.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Dec 31, 2006 -> 03:36 AM) Who really does that, though? It's well-known that he's not only cheated on his wife, but had a really bad gambling problem. To the point it had been linked to his father's death (although there hasn't been a shred of proof that his gambling played a role). They may be in a minority, but they would be in a vocal minority. Boers and Bernstein would put his feet to the fire, and people would call in defending him tooth and nail. That's how the "MJ ass-licking" society got started on their show... I'll give you a lot of people recognize his personal flaws, but a lot still don't

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Dec 31, 2006 -> 11:03 AM) I tought it was a 5th starter or long man. I also think Pettitte is going to suck too, except against us because he's lefthanded. I've heard middle and 5th or long, that's why it will be interesting to actually see him in action

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 31, 2006 -> 01:01 AM) The NY Rotation is actually in damn good shape, even if people get hurt or stink. Mussina Wang Igawa Pettitte Open spot - for 1 of Pavano, Hughes, and Humberto Sanchez. Supposedly, the Yankees already wanted to get Hughes into the rotation within a few months, maybe at the beginning of the year even. They have 3 potential candidates for that last rotation spot, and a good amount of depth right there. Oh, and they have an open spot in case the 7 time Cy Young award winner decides to come back for another half season, which I am absolutely certain is on their mind. I'm really interested to see Igawa. It seems when he was first posting people were saying bull-pen guy or 4th or 5th starter, but when NYY got him his potential got a huge push (although I am an east-coast bias conspiracy guy!!). I'll be interested to see what NYY got for him, I heard earlier on ESPN that the more they picked up of the contract the better the prospects the D-Backs would give, so I wonder what ended up panning out
