QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 4, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) Gone Girl was really well done, a classic Fincher movie, but a little too far-fetched near the end. Had to roll my eyes at a few things, but overall a pretty entertaining few hours. Thats how I felt about the book.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 4, 2014 -> 09:02 AM) Because no other rotation pitched as well as the Sox did in that ALCS. Combine that with how the offense stepped up in LA, I don't think the tying run was ever on deck in the final 3 innings in games 3-5, so there was no reason to use the bullpen. Two years earlier, Grady Little tried to do the same thing with the best pitcher in baseball and he lost the series and his job. The Sox were losing in the 7th inning of game 5.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 11:25 PM) I disagree. None of those starters were near their pitch limit nor were they in dangerous situations with runners on. They either had big leads or low pitch counts, even Ned Yost would have kept them in What was each pitchers' pitch limit in that series?

I just hiked the South Kaibab and Bright Angel in August. We got really fortunate with the weather and it was a great trip. The Swiss Alps are amazing and should be on all your lists. I was in the Bernese Oberland area in 2012 and it was an incredible time. Just realized my avatar is a picture of my wife on one of our Swiss hikes.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 28, 2014 -> 02:09 PM) Cutler steps in to remind us which team has the better QB When was that in question?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 26, 2014 -> 05:16 PM) Had to dig this up just to say that we scored 19 runs in one inning yesterday. I have never been a part of a game like that before, we used three columns in the book for the 5th inning, I batted 3 times. We won 36-10 in 5 In a coed league a couple of years ago, we played a game short 1 player so the 10th spot in the lineup was a automatic out. That 10th spot was responsible for all 3 outs in the first inning.

I thought it was just WGN America was not going to show games anymore.

I would be OK with trading Viciedo for Cueto.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 06:00 PM) Speaking of which, does anyone know the last time an AL pitcher has done that? Pedro in 2000.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 07:45 PM) On the drive home from work....they have a legal/sports segment every Thursday, and the lawyer and host said it appeared they were both spitting on one another in the elevator. Have you watched the video?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 07:04 PM) She was spitting on him just the same. Seriously, why are you both going down this road again? They are both obviously troubled. I'm not sure how we can take what either of them says at face value. Not one person has justified what Rice did, however. And yet here the two of you go again. You really want to talk about being annoying... This info didn't come from either of them, its from hotel security. Where did you see that she was spitting on him?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) I keep picturing Gob Bluth as a father and it's not a pretty picture. But for real, congrats Steve! Good luck Steve9347!!!

QUOTE (TRU @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) Yes, I saw them both being drunk and stupid. Are you saying that you didn't see her doing anything? You're right, she asked for it, but she did apologize.

QUOTE (TRU @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 03:09 PM) Then you just have a different opinion about it, I dunno what to tell you. Are you saying that you didn't see the things I mentioned?

QUOTE (TRU @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) Did you not watch it? She was throwing her hand in his face when they were in the lobby, and then getting all confrontational with him in the elevator. And this is without even being able to hear what was being said. As it has already been pointed out multiple times, it doesn't justify at all what Ray Rice did. Its just an observation from the video. Did you watch the video? In the lobby or hall, I see Rice provoke her by sticking his face out like he was going to do something to her. Then in the elevator, he does the same thing then smacks at her face before she moves in and gets knocked out.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) He never justified domestic violence. He said Rice's wife was being drunk and annoying, which she was. To point that out in no way justifies what Rice did, but it does show that Rice's wife wasn't showing impeccable judgment herself. There is nothing wrong in pointing that out, and once again (I believe it does bear repeating), it gets nowehere close to justifying domestic violence. Secondly, Rice did not manipulate his way out of charges. He struck a plea deal, which was the intelligent thing to do. How can you tell she was being annoying in that video?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 08:58 AM) That the MVP has been dumb and arbitrary in the past isn't a reason to keep it dumb and arbitrary now Anything that people vote on is arbitrary.

Why didn't they challenge on that single? Wasn't Nieto in the baseline?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) No, if he has the ball then he can be in the way, but you can't physically block the base with your body unless it's with the tag. At least that's what I think the rule is. What is the difference between being "in the way" and "physically blocking the plate"?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) That's legit, he should be safe. He stepped where the plate was and Nieto's leg covered it. Can't the catcher block the plate when he has the ball?

f***ing joke of a rule.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) It's not a HS rule that you must slide into any base, including the plate, ever. If you do slide, it must be a legal slide. And no malicious contact with the catcher. No, both warranted safe calls. Zero way last night's call should have been an out. "Get there in time or be out" doesn't make sense. You can't have a catcher blocking the plate without the ball if the runner has arrived, you need to call obstruction at some point. Is that "in time?" I am confused, earlier you said the call was brutal, now he was safe?

Did SF chalenge or did the umps ask for the review?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 07:45 AM) So my wife and I have been on vacation since Sunday, staying in a hotel in St. Charles, which is about 15 miles NW of Ferguson. I have to say I've watched more local news on my hotel room TV the past three nights than I thought possible. Our hotel is adjacent to a retail complex whose parking lot was used Sunday night as a staging area for St. Charles county police departments to caravan into Ferguson to provide support. If that wasn't unnerving enough, last night the same retail complex was rumored to be one of the targets, as the rioters were pushing to move on from Ferguson to "riot and loot in white areas." Out our 7th floor window we watched police and SWAT vehicles stream into the complex and not leave until almost midnight. I never saw anything on the news about anything actually happening there, but it was still quite unsettling. And people say that St. Louis doesn't have anything exciting!!
