QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 11:06 AM) Luke Stuckmeyer ‏@LukeStuckmeyer 33m No Backes at Blues morning skate. He's on the ice now proving that they don't care much about life after hockey.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 11:45 PM) How often do fielders make errors in 16 inch? I have to imagine that there'd be a lot more since you don't have the luxury of gloves. Depends on the team and league. In men's almost never. In coed once in awhile. The infield is harder. In men's one maybe two errors a game.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 11:35 PM) I guess it's a bit different in the city due to space limitations. The fields out here in Austin are all 300 (some fields are 285 in sections) or 315. I play 16 so maybe they think it's overkill? It's definitely strategy since teams adjust and you have to as well. The men's league I play in has a fence (UIC) and it gets a little boring to be honest.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 11:27 PM) You guys don't have a fence? Nah city field usually don't have a fence except for a few. Hamlin has four fields. They played me like 20 feet passed the infield. I'm not a crazy power hitter but I do go deep and it was ridiculous. Took minutes to get the ball back. The only field that has a fence for real is UIC and also Pulaski but only in left ( my favorite field).

First spring game tonight and I felt terrible for the other team. In the spring you run into teams that thought it was a great idea but put no thought into it. Tonight was one of those. Went deep twice and hit a mercy single the last time up and the game was over. They played me so shallow in the first that it rolled past the other field and the guy had to wait to go get it. Nice people but they need to find another hobby.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 11:04 PM) Arnie Munoz? Good one. Looping curve ball.

I mean, if you are from Minnesota, youve literally seen nothing but failure other than the twins in 87 and 91. The rest is total f***ing failure.

The Sharks can be so weak sometimes.

Woo hoo. Go wild.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 11:03 PM) Avalanche have 8 total shots with 5 minutes left to go in the game Echo, echo Jk. Its crazy. Their fans are jumping ship. Ive gotten several texts from a few of them.

Avs getting outshot 29-8. Not kidding

You suck Quick

Our offense is good enough to make almost anyone a winner. No not you Felix Diaz.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) Am I the only one that thinks Cara Maria looks really good this season? So I know her from a friend. She got super into crossfit after sucking at challenges and suddenly became crazy in shape. That's what you are seeing.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 10:46 PM) Very true. My brother and I were at am OSU tailgate a few years back and because our cups werent totally opaque we got drinking tickets. Mind you they were not very see through and had maybe one last sip of beer left. Total power trip on 30 year old dudes surrounded by 150k people drinking. My arrests in college were ridiculous. One was because i went out to the sidewalk to talk to cops about a noise complaint and my ID was in my room. They kept me for over 12 hours. I was over 21. While i was in there they refused my request to go the bathroom so i just about pissed myself before they finally unlocked me because i was in so much pain. Oh yeah, i was handcuffed to the wall.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 10:27 PM) That seems like a generalization. Heck I thought the stereotype went the other way with "southern" towns and athletes. It is. How about all college cops are pricks?

Yet not nearly as delusional as CBJ fans. One yesterday told me they have way more talent than the Pens.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 10:30 PM) If the B's could hit an empty net, this game would've ended about 5-2 after 60 minutes. True. I was sitting next to a wings fan at a bar tonight on Madison and he was trying to convince me they have the best young roster in hockey. Come on bro.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 10:11 PM) Like 48 deflections just beat the Wings. Yeah. Kind of weak. Two great games going on now. I'll be up late.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) That AAU team is one tweak of a knee away from McBob being the second best guy How about Burke Traevon Jackson Craft Sullinger Payne

BTW, their AAU team was Conley Cook Eric Gordon Josh McRoberts Greg Oden

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) I remember thinking that he was totally overrated due to the presence of Oden and an overall good team. He's turned into a really, really good pro though it will probably always be lost due to the strength of the PG position in the NBA Totally. Like all you did was "throw it to Oden" in AAU. Little, no shot, no right hand. Probably a 4 year player.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) Maybe 10000 times the player At OSU he was considered the "also" player in the deal. Crazy.

Maybe 1000 times the player
