QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 06:15 PM) Tap water is something like $0.0005 per liter. Bottled water is closer to $.50 per liter, and is often the same or worse quality. Based on this chart, a PUR filter is about $.25 per gallon, maybe $.12 per liter. I really like Brita's fill station product for this reason. Provides the convienence of bottled water without the massive waste, cost and damage. Yeah, you said it was more expensive right after saying something about buying pop at a gas station, so I was confused.

Hadn't seen this posted. Rosenthal The team, in addition to pursuing Konerko, Dunn and catcher A.J. Pierzynski in free agency, also is in engaging in advanced trade discussions, according to sources. One candidate to move: Right fielder Carlos Quentin, who stands to earn about $5 million in arbitration but is not eligible for free agency until after the 2012 season. The Phillies and Cardinals both have been linked to Quentin in published reports. The White Sox likely are looking for bullpen help — and payroll flexibility.

Wow, great addition!! The best Chaunakka gift I've ever got!!!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 06:51 AM) You're right. And I should've mentioned that. But you just proved my point. The last 2 weeks or so for teams that have either clinched or aren't sniffing the playoffs mean next to nothing. They may mean meaningless in terms of the standings, but I don't believe they are meaningless for the players on the field based on the teams' reaction to Viciedo's walk-off hit and the fact that several players are auditioning for next season.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 06:11 AM) Um, no. You can choose to either look at 88 wins in a vacuum or look a little deeper. I don't give a s*** that we went 8-1 the last week and a half to pad our overall win total. Teams that are out of it or that have already clinched mid-to-late September simply don't give a f*** and are either resting regulars or playing minor leaguers. How many stars got shut down with two weeks to go because of mysterious injuries? The Rays wouldn't even play Longoria when it was clear he was fine the last 2 weeks or so of the regular season. Playoffs begin? He's back!!! Josh Hamilton was out all of September because the Rangers had such a big lead but of course they claimed he was "hurt". Playoffs begin? He's backkk!!!!! Miguel Cabrera gets shut down with over a week to go. Think that happens if a playoff spot is on the line? Pitchers all over the place were being shut down to "save" them for next year. There's just no real value in finishing the year strong when you were already out of it well beforehand. Yeah, and the Sox were sitting a bunch of their players at that time as well. DeAza, Flowers, Morel, Lillibridge, Viciedo all got tons of playing time that last week, but of course you would never acknowledge that.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) Watched something similar, Blue Gold. It was meh and kinda boring overall, but made good points about draining lakes and aquifers and shipping the water away to other regions. It is breaking the natural water cycles. I will very rarely get a bottle of water at a gas station instead of a pop or something on a road trip, but I don't get the people with three or four 24-packs of bottled water at the grocery store. It's just ridiculously more expensive, the rest of the issues aside. More expensive than what?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 03:51 PM) Well said. I want to eat a rat poison omlette whenever I hear "we still won 88 games." The team collectively soiled their pants and lost 12 of 14 games from September 6 to like September 21 and were outta the race LONG before that last week when they decided to get hot. This was about a .500 team in reality. You should go get yourself a dictionary.

Does anybody with AT&T UVerse know what the USB port in the front can be used for?

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Nov 28, 2010 -> 01:18 PM) Anybody want to buy a Joaquin jersey for cheap? I made a horrible mistake... What color is it?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 11:16 AM) Stewart is loaded with ability and can certainly handle 3B at an adequate level. If it were me, I'd platoon him at 3rd with Morel and if they sign a guy like Dunn, slide Stewart over to 1st. You would trade Gavin Floyd for a guy you are going to use in a platoon role?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 24, 2010 -> 09:47 AM) Wow, I just read 8 pages of an absolute garbage pissing match. There was no actual information outside of the first post. Some people came off as real jagoffs, too. 8 pages? Adjust your settings noob!

I believe Westbrook has resigned.

What are the *?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) No. I'm older than 15. Besides, even if the books were phenomenal, I did not enjoy the movies one least bit. Not sure what that means, plenty of well educated adults have read and enjoyed the books. If you feel that you are above them then that is your issue. I asked the question because the movies would be much more enjoyable to somebody who has read the books. The kids' acting was pretty bad in the first few movies, but they have improved as the series had moved along.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 10:05 AM) I will vouch for him that they are lame since I did see the first 3. Did you read the books?

QUOTE (qwerty @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 06:29 PM) That's only logical... even in the very best of adaptations. Otherwise book adaptations would be upwards of 6 hours long if people wanted the proper detail. This is the day and age in which people are lucky to have a long enough attention span to watch a measly 90 minute film... if not even less. Yes, I am aware of that. I was responding to somebody who said that finer points were left out, when major details were left out of the others.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) Did you have the feeling that if you haven't read the books, some of the finer points might be looked over by someone who has only seen the movies? Every one of the movies left out details that were very important in the book.

Why would we care how he would perform in Colorado?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 07:37 AM) To that earlier list of Ventura, Thomas and McDowell, you can also add the nearly-ready Alex Fernandez, who unfortunately had his career ended by injuries just like another young starter of that era, Jason Bere. The White Sox have really suffered with both Brian Anderson and Joe Borchard failing. If both those players make it and become stars, we wouldn't be having this conversation in all likelihood. Add Josh Fields in there too. Would have been so great if they had panned out.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 05:15 PM) Blitzing, by itself, doesn't really do anything to Cutler. I think there is this assumption that all you have to do is throw an extra rusher at Cutler and he'll automatically fold like Grossman did (Grossman couldn't move and couldn't throw over the line). He's going to see the hole in coverage and he's going to burn it. Cutler's interceptions happen when he throws at guys who blatantly aren't open or when he gets baited like a DB and a fair amount of time it's one of his WRs f***ing the route up after the ball is released (usually Knox) What happened in that Giants game?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 05:33 PM) There's a great strip club down an alley where the doorman where's an eye patch, I forget the name. The Rocking Horse perhaps? I cannot remember. Printer's Alley, it's called The Brass Stable. Don't remember the eye patch. BYOB.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 05:27 PM) So not a single quote from KW in that article? The author just making his own observations/predictions? Yawn. There wasn't a single quote in the first article either, so whats the difference?

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 11, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) Didn't Troy Tulowitzki have an absolutely horrible sophmore season? Maybe Beckham will bounce back with a vengeance. I'd STILL use him in trade him for A. Gonzalez though - IF the Sox could extend him. You mean you haven't changed your mind in the past 2 hours?

Is that directed at me?

Is anybody who served in the military considered a veteran? Do you have to see some kind of action to be one?
