Jake

Color me nervous about this series now.

I thought it was pretty funny

I'll be real, I don't love our chances right now. Things can change quickly, though

Here we go again... 3rd period didn't end all that well. Game has become very sloppy...we need to control the pace again like we did in the first

Neither team looks much like they'll score right now.

PP wasn't nearly as bad as many of our recent ones

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 03:35 PM) @WojYahooNBA: If Celtics and Clippers can finalize a deal that includes Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett will waive his no-trade clause, league sources tell Y! Sounds like it would be Deandre Jordan and two 1st-rounders for Garnett, Rivers. That's a win for Celts, if you ask me. They were going to lose Doc anyway and KG has to be close to retirement.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 03:05 PM) Why does softball exist? Why can't women play baseball? No clue. Seems like an arbitrary thing, to me. You'd think with some of the unexceptional athletes that can make it in baseball, you'd be able to find a woman here or there that could cut it. I mean, you'd think if David Eckstein can be an All-Star caliber player that the top woman baseballers could probably cut it if there was a system in place to train young girls in baseball instead of softball.

People have been whining about the poor quality of popular cinema and its imminent downfall since motion pictures were first played in a cafe in Paris. I'll believe it when I see it.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 09:37 PM) Go to Dick's or Triple Threat Sports in Orland, although their stuff has really tailed off. Get a Shaw, Saad, Keith, Kane, or Toews. Hjalmarsson wouldn't be a bad option either. All of those guys will be Hawks for awhile. I'm pretty set on Keith unless there happens to be a deal on another specific player that I think will be around for a while. I'll check out TTS

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 09:03 PM) The top of the line Roku? Jesus, man. You're smarter than that. 13 cents a day for an incredibly better service? The humanity! Incredibly better how? Specifically, other than at playing video games. I can play video games on a PS4 with better specs without paying for its streaming services. I can pay for Roku, have no subscriptions, and stream my brains out. What am I missing?

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) How am I a fanboy? As I've said, Microsoft has great ideas, but I wouldn't put it past them to f*** it up. I think it's ridiculous in 2013 to have a cable box, a Roku box, a console, s***ty apps on a Smart TV and a laptop HDMI'd into a TV when you can solve it all in 1 machine. XBox has HBO, NFL and probably the Premier League. XBox has a better network, service and interface. That's worth 13 cents a day to me. DDR5 is completely unnecessary. The Xbox games at E3 looked better. I am interested to see how Kinect integrates with everything. As I've said, I probably won't buy a console for a long time. I no longer game enough to justify it, but if I do, it'll be an Xbox because I want a $400-500 console do more than just play games. If I was just interested in gaming, I'd get a Steam Box. Not paying the subscription buys me the top-of-the-line Roku in 18 months. Don't pretend that it isn't a huge knock on the XBOX that I have to pay for services that every other device like it doesn't charge for. Also, the Kinect is creepy as f***. Holy s*** man.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 07:21 PM) Probably not gonna happen. I'm looking into this for my parents, and my mother would not accept being without a TV in one of the several rooms she has TVs. Old people, you know. hmm...we could just get basic cable for those rooms since we already get internet from our cable provider...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 07:15 PM) I just asked for a deal and get HBO and Showtime for 17.99 bundled. As for extra tvs, you can have 5 hooked up. I think it's time you got rid of some tubes. Probably not gonna happen. I'm looking into this for my parents, and my mother would not accept being without a TV in one of the several rooms she has TVs. Old people, you know.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 04:45 PM) http://flapship.com/directv-genie-review/ I've only grown to love it more since writing that review. Direct comparison to Comcast involved. We're checking out DirectTV - I'm going to ask a couple questions since I can't find answers on the 'net, so if you know the answers I'd love it if you'd fill me in 1. They're giving 3 months of the premium channels (HBO, etc) right now with the XTRA package -- how much to get those later? Do I have to upgrade to the double-priced plan to get those? 2. We wouldn't need more than the potential 4 DVR-connected TVs...but we have several more televisions that are currently just hooked up through a cable jack. What happens to those? s*** out of luck?

It's high time for me to ditch my Havlat sweater, any suggestions on buying a new one? I know which player I want, but I don't know if I really need to get the EDGE BS for $250, if I'm okay with the premier at about $150, or if there is something else I should know. Seems like everyone sells for same price, etc

Chicago fans are bandwagoners that don't know anything about hockey, unlike Bostonians, says AP piece Jesus Christ, can we make our off-day fluff a little less insulting?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 03:15 PM) Unfortunately as of now HBO GO is not on Playstation Thankfully I have a Samsung that gets it Okay, then. f*** PS4. Does either one get BTN2Go yet?

Can't wait till I can stream Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, MLB.tv, etc. on my PS4 w/o paying a dime. I may then play games, not connect to the internet for days at a time, and fully enjoy them -- still without a subscription! Then...I can head to Gamestop and actually have a prayer of getting a used game for my console. Also -- won't the DRM kill game rentals?

Jay Cutler does not suffer fools well

Anyone notice how unexceptional Billy Hamilton is playing in AAA this year? .655 OPS, 40 SB. Has to be better than that especially after they moved him off of SS

So many ways to rip on Bostonians that don't make us look like insensitive assholes

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 10:44 AM) Rick Santorum thinks the RNC botched the "You Didn't Build That" thing “One after another, they talked about the business they had built. But not a single—not a single —factory worker went out there,” Santorum said at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, as quoted by Politico. “Not a single janitor, waitress or person who worked in that company! We didn’t care about them. You know what? They built that company too! And we should have had them on that stage.” So in other words, they are supposed to completely agree with Obama and make his entire point for him. Moron. LOL I actually thought that comment would be far more damaging than it was. I agree with the sentiment, but it's usually hard to clarify something that sounds so awful on its face. The funny thing is that Santorum's idea might have worked. Obama's concept was so good that they probably could have stolen it and pretended it was theirs.
