Rangers acquire Vincente Padilla from Phillies
This is a good move by the Rangers. Padilla has a good arm and IIRC has been hampered by some injuries but when he's healthy he's a pretty solid pitcher (definately better than some of the guys the Rangers had been running out there). If the Rangers can add another starter or two (one being more of a front line guy) they'll be ready to compete with Oakland for the division (note I don't mention the Angels cause barring some serious moves I don't think they will be very good).

Cubs could have interest in Tejada
QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 11:54 PM) Phil Rogers is advocating they trade Zambrano to get Tejada. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines That would be dumb as stone. Zambrano is a hell of a pitcher and honestly he's better than any of the 5 guys we have on the southside, imo. The guys a beast and he's still young and I don't think he's paid like a front line pitcher (yet).

Heat coach Van Gundy resigns
Stan said it was all due to family reasons. He wants to spend time with his family, not have to travel all the time. He said Pat tried to convince him to stay. Pat Riley will take over as head coach. The press conference is on ESPN right now. I don't know if Stan is just saying what he's saying or if its the truth, but Stan is one of the better coaches in the NBA. Now we see what Riley has left in him.

If the Cubs gave up Zambrono or Prior for Tejada, I'd laugh.

Cardinals sign Ricardo Rincon
QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) The lefties that are available suck. Truthfully, if they're going for another reliever, I'd like to see them grab Octavio Dotel. He's coming off of a fairly serious injury, but he's always had filthy stuff -- 10.87 Ks/9 in his career. In fact, every year he's been in the majors (save 1999), he's had more K's than IP. He seems like a good candidate for a first year, incentive laden deal with a team option for a second year. He wouldn't have to close, either -- or, at least, he'd be the third option, if not way behind that. I'd much prefer Dotel to Vizcaino, or to some crappy lefthander who's only on the team 'cause he throws left-handed (cough:kevinwalker). Ahh Keith, I see were both on the same page on Dotel. He'd definately be a good pick up.

Healthy Lunches at Schools.
Ya, I was going to say, whole milk is absolutely awful for the average person (unless your a baby in need of fat). Baked Chips aren't that horrid for you. They aren't good for you, but they are nowhere near what whole milk is. This is coming from someone that drinks skim milk though. I can take 1% milk but anything more than that tastes nasty.

Jacques Jones?
QUOTE(bmags @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) i think he was saying that honel is a best prospect, so it was like saying, considering all of our best prospects are in the outfield (except for kris honel, who is a best prospect but a pitcher) Too bad Honel isn't a top prospect. He was a top pick though.

DVD Burning
I can't say what your burning, but if you want to burn something thats legal. I recommend Any DVD and Clone DVD. When you combine the two it works brilliant.

Ipod Help
QUOTE(Fotop @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) In the past, I just pulled up the ipod as a drive when i plug it in (i think it's like the f: drive or something). From there, you can open it up and there's a bunch of folders that have your songs in them. Just copy the entire folder to your computer and import it into itunes. Then you've got all your songs. Maybe its just my ipod's software, but if I look at the folder, all I see are contacts, notes and one other file. Nowhere on there are the song files. Also I just read that link from tmar and it looks as if Apple has done everything they can to prevent you from being able to take songs from your Ipod and put them onto your desktop (stupid if you ask me, cause they are your songs). Its obviously something the RIAA is pushing, but why can't I do what I want with songs I own. I should have the right to be able to put them on my laptop (so I can listen to them through it while at school).

True Lies is another solid one. Saving Private Ryan (when they storm the banks of normandy is another great one).

Official NFL General Discussion Thread
QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) You're telling me. I'm about ready to throw up right now. They let the Cowboys right back in the game and controlled most of it. But the Cowboys deserve a lot of credit and won it. This is what the Boys have found a way to do. They aren't a good team, but they are in a good position to make the playoffs. I'd love it if the Bears matched up with em.

Wow, Chiefs found a way to get into FG range and than miss a makeable kick. That would have been awesome had they made it and sent it into over time.

Official NFL General Discussion Thread
Again the Cowboys give up a long pass play (there secondary sucks and gives these up way too much) and are behind to the Chiefs. A Chiefs win, teamed with the Chargers loss (add to the fact that the Chargers still have the Colts on the schedule) and it looks like the Chiefs would have to totally choke not to make the playoffs. Thats if the Chiefs hold on.

Ipod Help
I got a question. is there an easy way for me to take songs off my ipod and put them on another computer. I want to move them to my laptop and figure there has to be a way to do it easily (and import them into my laptops library) directly through the Ipod.

Official NFL General Discussion Thread
Wow, things are really looking like they are going to be tight in the AFC. The Chiefs, Chargers both look like they will lose (the Chargers are toast today) while the Steelers won.

Official NFL General Discussion Thread
Just when it looked like Miami was going to make it a 2 TD lead again, they cough up the football at the goalline and the Chargers recover down by a TD. Good game going on.

Grossman Upgraded to 2nd string
QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) i just did. I would like to not be personally attacked everytime i have a thought. Look about the Grossman thing If i thought that he was actually so much better than Orton than i would agree with all the Grossman fans however he isn't. Neither is a great QB but Grossman isn't a real uprgrade over Orton. Let the toughness be your motivation to A get smarter (if you are wrong) or B prove people that you are right (maybe what you say is right and over the long haul you end up being right more often than you are wrong). One or the other can and should happen. I think you'll learn a lot and the key is to listen to what others say in a debate. Hell, I am closed minded but absolutely love debate and there are some people on this site that you end up learning a whole lot from when you shoot back different ideas. A lot of the times it results in you and the person directly involved in the debate learning something, but it can often result in others that are reading to learn stuff to. So make sure you read and try to see where other people are coming from. Keep learning and eventually you may earn some respect. Hell, I was the buffoon that said UCLA would give the Trojans a run for there money. Luckily I got SNB to make even worse predictions than me, lol.

Grossman Upgraded to 2nd string
QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) if you are gonna quote me at least quote me right dude. I'll give u the opportunity right now to drop the personal attack. Simply say thats not the proper quote. No need to call him a moron. We've had some good debate and thoughts in this thread as of late.
