QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 07:29 PM) Hoopsworld has CJ Watson going to the Bulls. As always with hoopsworld take it with a grain of salt. Nice move if true. Is sexual chocolate coming too?

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) Im not a huge basketball fan, but there are certain players I like.. that's why I was a big Magic fan, because of Penny and Shaq.. Its not like that with the other sports, I have been White Sox and Dolphins from day 1 of being able to follow them in a true fan way.. Where did you grow up that you have such a hodge podge of team favorites. Did you decide them all yourself or were any handed down?

Best part of the show for me was probably the part that most people missed. The pitchers were doing fielding drills in ST and Peavy said to Buehrle and Danks that he thinks one day they are going to leave their wives/girlfriends for each other.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) LOL Garbage, fact. Your topic Garbage, fact.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 12:24 PM) I actually want the Cubs to do well, this town is so much more fun when both teams are performing well, as long as the sox are doing better. Well, its July 16th and the Cubs still suck.

My favorite part of the game last night was the bottom of the 1st when Span tried to dump one of those bulls*** shank jobs into short left field. All of the Twins fans started cheering because it was a blueprint of the kind of hits that have killed the sox in the Dome for year. Of course Pierre used his speed to run it down and completely shocked the fans and the players of the home team.

Oh, and CST b****es, I f***ing love that workout cause it sucks.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) I just got the Insanity discs. I was watching them on my computer and they look very heavy on cardio but low on muscle building so I think I might try to mix some Insanity workouts with P90X. Theres some muscle building in the program, its just much more focused on circuit training and burning calories. You are going to burn upwards of 1000 calories per session.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:05 AM) Apple has scheduled a Friday Morning press conference. There's some talk of a general iPhone recall over the antennae issues. Somehow I doubt it goes that far, but It's probably a safe bet that they won't spend the whole time telling their customers to stop putting their hand over that part of the phone. I heard that a piece of duct tape fixes the entire issue. Maybe they will be rolling out rolls of tape.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 12:26 PM) If anyone sees a 32gb micro sd card anywhere for $100 or less give me a holler. EDIT: And not those knock off ones on ebay. Check amazon

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) The former. Not but in all seriousness, that was my first cornhole experience at a tailgate and I absolutely sucked at it. He was actually pretty decent IIRC. I dont think sucking is involved, are you sure he showed you the correct technique?

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 07:48 PM) I really agree with the Bosh as a top 4 player as well. There are quite a few guys I'd put ahead of him. Namely: LeBron Kobe Wade Deron Williams Durant Carmelo Chris Paul Pau Gasol Dwight Howard I like DRose over Bosh as well.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 08:13 AM) I run all over the west loop. I go down to little italy and back basically. Yesterday I ran from my place to ashland, to division and back on halsted. Around 6 miles. Today, B&B.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) From doing heroin?!? Rock, didn't you grow up in the DG or something? I am totally fascinated by cocaine and heroin, I'll be honest. But I have an addictive personality and I know I'd be in the gutter and then dead in short order if I ever tried it. I'd be addicted immediately. Cocaine was something that I had to actually get myself off of when I was in college. I first saw heroin in college, never really tried the stuff, but coke was rampant. That s*** can hook you if you have a direct line to it, especially if you are prone to addiction. You just want to do more and more and more.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:34 PM) That's sort of what I'm saying. If someone is willing to do heroin, they probably don't care where it comes from. I'm more adverse to sticking needles in my body to be honest. Thats really what probably stopped me when I was younger.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:32 PM) Something about this makes me smile. well, mushrooms grown in s*** doesnt stop me, so probably that wouldnt bother me either.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) I really have to look into that f***ing promo. I wonder if the winning team can get a free Cookie sundae in the skillet? That is over the top good there. No I havent but that is the place that looks like the Italian flag, right? Yeah, behind Emmitts. Richards is a classic dive bar, nothing but old s*** on the juke and you can carry out booze. I'd suggest it one night.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) Wow, crazy. Without meeting them, I know I like the owners. I'd hedge my bets, get with a group and run two tabs. Start drinking hard on the winning tab and hope some come from behind non sense doesn't happen. Listen, the owners of those bars are some of the best in the city if not the best at turning a profit. Every bar they open earns a ton of money, most of it by not giving away anything for free. There has to be some catch.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 01:50 PM) I like WestEnd on the near west side...I like Pippens on Rush St...I like Duggans in Greek Town Do you ever venture to richards on grand/halsted?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) God I have had some bad nights at Pippens. Good bar, just rough nights. WestEnd is actually having a crazy promo today. If you show up before the All star game tonight, and you have to chose the AL or NL. If your team wins and you stay to the end of the game, they pick up your tab. WTF

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 12:06 PM) They have so many people on this year who must not of ever seen the show. Waaaaaaay too aggressive so early. Nobody should want HoH before sequester unless it means their survival in the game. Enzo will be gone before sequester. That MENSA guy will go far. The people are lying too early, about their professions etc. You've got to stay under the radar for several weeks before making a move. My money right now is on Kristin. You dont hear much about her and she's hot. If you've watched after dark you know who wins POV and who goes on the block.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 09:10 AM) So, I need to find a new show to get sucked into (drama preferably). Anyone have any suggestions? The guidelines: (1) my fiance and I moved recently and decided to do away with cable. So we're limited to Netflix and the interwebs. (2) to get a feel for my taste in shows, my recent favorites include: Breaking Bad, Lost, Mad Men, Deadwood, The Wire, Sopranos, etc. Anyone every watch Battlestar Galactica? Normally i'm not an outer space kind of guy, but lots of people associate it with Lost, so I'm willing to give it a shot. I tried to get into Dexter and Californication, but can't seem to stay interested. I'm hoping there's a cool series out there that I missed within the last few years. Drama=Big Brother. On 3 nights a week.

Too many to list. Depending on where you are in the city I probably have a favorite.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 05:34 PM) Here's the video of Beach and Olimb fighting for the 2nd time, looks like Olimb falls wrong on his shoulder. Beach clearly trying to make a name for himself as the next enforcer for the Hawks.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) Man what a head case. I know prospects are trying to prove something, but the guy not only was like 5'9 160, but he's a part of your organization and maybe a future teammate! They better be offering their first rounders and other picks next year to include with Campbell and he still has to agree to a deal. Thing is, if they could have moved him prior, why didn't they? Might have been able to keep Byfuglien/Versteeg. And yes, I know Soupy is a good player. As far as Niemi, hopefully he loses his arb case, especially because of the defense he played in. It could work however in salary, but they have to trade Reasoner and/or Kopecky and Sharp pretty much has to play center. (though I'm sure Q will have him at LW at times on certian shifts) Beach (1.171) - Toews (6.3) - Kane (6.3) Stalberg (.850) - Sharp (3.9) - Hossa (5.275) Brouwer (1.025) - Bolland (3.375) - Skille (.875-.900) Bickell (.675) - Dowell (.525) - Kopecky (1.2) UFA or Rookie (.500) Keith (5.538) - Seabrook (3.5) Campbell (7.143) - Hjalmarsson (3.5) Connelly (.875) - Lalonde (.773) or Hendry (.600-.650) Scott (.512) UFA goalie or Niemi (1.5-2.0) Toivonen (.550) 200-300k in cap room and thats assuming Beach makes it and Q offers to Skille, Hendry, Niemi, Lalonde making it, etc. I think Kopecky and Hossa will be on the same line, Kop isnt really a 4th liner with this lineup. Morin may make a push to make the team as well.
