Cincinnati only giving 7? What the hell? Granted, when I think things like that, it usually ends up happening. That's why I don't spend money on it, I'd lose it all!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 2, 2013 -> 08:01 PM) Some buzz about Alexander and Illinois. Two "insiders" just updated their picks to UI. I laughed at them for the Black change and they ended up being right, so who knows. Black and Alexander would sure speed up the rebuild. Black didn't really surprise me, but Alexander definitely would.

That Teemu video had me actually laughing out loud. Solid.

That's definitely a good get for Illinois, congrats.

IU set a (modern) record for points in a game with 73. I don't care if it was against Indiana State, we only beat them by 7 last year. Defense is still a big concern, missed wayyyyy too many tackles. Tevin Coleman looked damn good. I've also never seen a player call for a fair catch on a punt return, and then get decked by a player on the kicking team before the ball even falls out of the air. The Indiana State player rightfully got ejected, what a moron.

Yeah I had no idea. Too bad I already had Chicken Pox like 16 years ago.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) I would be ready to concede you're onto something here, but... Kellen Davis. 6'7", athletic, totally f***ing useless. But being tall and athletic never really translated into anything. He had some flashes, but even calling him "wildly inconsistent" is being too generous.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 11:06 AM) Even though one of the guys who murdered him paraded around social media bragging about how he was going to kill (or had killed) some white people. If George Zimmerman had tweeted 2 days before shooting Trayvon Martin "THESE FILTHY APES MAKE ME SICK #HATEBLACKS" you'd go absolutely ballistic. But the other way around and you have this mood of vindication in your post that three murderers are already weaseling out of charges they clearly deserve. That's the problem, it wasn't just one guy involved in the shooting. It was three of them, and they were different races. That makes it harder to prove, which largely factors into whether it will get charged. Not familiar at all with the case other than general media portrayals, but if they had enough on the kid who made those tweets in actually committing the shooting, then I'm not sure why at least he (as opposed to all three) wasn't charged with a hate crime.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 12:29 AM) Like I said before, Cotts played with us before he went back. Other teams REALLY hate you for it, and I only brought a pitcher who was an average hitter. I dunno, I feel any major league pitcher would still be a dominating hitter, even in A-leagues.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 11:59 PM) Finally went to the new bourbon/Pizza place on madison, Old Fifth. VERY good and strong cocktails, however, I HATE putting egg white in drinks. Its f***ing stupid. Yeah really not a fan of that. It's like places realized putting eggs on every burger had jumped the shark, so they needed something else to put them in.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 11:33 PM) lol he's not bulls***ting. Williams actually lives in Austin (he went to UT). He was talking about how Ricky's athletic as hell (obviously), but he misplays balls in the OF at times. I should go check it out though. Oh I didn't think he was lying (though possible I guess), it's certainly plausible that Ricky Williams plays in some Austin leagues. I just meant that it would be cool to see Ricky Williams playing softball.

But I'll make sure to dedicate a few to you belatedly tomorrow.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 11:27 PM) I knew Heads would be drinking with me in spirit on my bday!!!! Farmteam, join the club! Hah, not tonight...tomorrow night I'll be in full swing, I think. Maybe I'll remember to stop by here at the end of the night.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 10:38 PM) So a guy on my softball team said he plays on the same team as Ricky Williams on Fridays here in Austin. That seems pretty unfair. You should probably check out one of this guy's Friday night games....

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 11:02 PM) Kyle Long is legit. Athletic and strong with a mean streak. Perfect pulling guard that can pass protect. Which really is what this team, and especially the offense, needs the most. You can get play nasty without being a playing dirty. Play with an edge.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 06:27 PM) So the country can be repeatedly run against the rocks with out of control spending and a culture of surveillance as long as gays get married and the status quo on abortion is kept? Are you f***ing kidding me? The easiest response to this is, "Are you f***ing kidding me?" I desperately want to get at the issues you describe. But yeah, first I'd like to get those (what I consider to be on a policy level) basic rights taken care of, but that's been made preposterously difficult.

If the GOP wants to run a ticket that won't slam marriage equality, and to a lesser extent scream "ABORTION SUCKS!" then I would consider voting for them. But if they want to keep alienating millennials, then Democrat is my only real voting option. On pretty much any major issue that isn't considered "socially liberal" (which, like I implied above, is really not just "liberal" anymore among the younger generation but just what >75% of said generations think), I can be swayed to either side. I want the GOP to give me a viable option so I actually have a real choice to make.

Agreed. Front end: "I bet some sophisticated wealthy guy drives that!" Back end: "I bet some grandpa having a winter-of-life crisis drives that!"

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 22, 2013 -> 09:33 PM) The beauty of young players is that the expectation is non-success. If they are unsuccessful, they are simply meeting expectations. If they do well, they are exceeding. It is difficult for an 18 year old to play below expectations. Yeah, it doesn't matter to me how bad the stats are in the first season during their draft year (personally I include college players too, but certainly for HS draftees). Of course it would be better to get out of the gate running, but it's a non-issue because that first acclimation to pro ball can be such a shock and require quite the adjustment period. Attitude/character would cause me to worry far more than stats.
