Samoa Joe v CM Punk II - first 5 star match in the US in 20 years (and it was in Chicago!) Also, Joe's first TNA three-way with AJ & Daniels is f***ing brilliant as well.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 09:07 AM) And what idiots like Shaq don't realize is if he would have kept in his pants, it would have stayed that way. Keeping it in your pants is overrated.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 01:10 PM) Jackie Earle Haley confirmed as Sinestro in Green Lantern Where did you see that? I just looked on Variety to confirm but there's nothing there. In the Saarsgard-as-Hector Hammond article it says, he's going to play the main villain. (That doesn't mean we won't see the heroic Sinestro and he'll be the main villain in the 2nd one....)

Nope. I don't believe in God, so I sure as hell don't believe in ghosts. Sorry.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) And nobody can blame it on Orton for beating him. God forbid a top heel comes out on top in an angle for once. I disagree. How are you supposed to get behind a guy when he consistently loses and then he barely talks to tell you why he wants another shot. How else did Orton get built - by putting him over guys and letting him talk about it. And it took forever once Orton was built up to REbuild him once they killed him by jobbing him to HHH the first time around.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 12:04 PM) Oh, I know, but it's better than leaving them somewhere. Tell me about it. I rescued a super cute Jindo wandering near USC who the neighbors said was abandoned after its family moved and didnt want to take him with. The shelters aren't great, but at least the dog won't starve to death on the streets.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) I was just thinking, why would any big name want to go there? Why wouldn't they come here? It's the best city in the country, the weather is perfect for sports year round, and there's no pro teams to compete with for news coverage. Even if there are sanctions, they won't last forever. Also, I've heard Chris Peterson (Boise) and Gary Patterson (TCU) are on the list, but the school wants a former NFL guy who's a name people (and recruits) know, so that's why they're going this route first. I'd love Peterson or Patterson.

BTW, Milo was the wildest dog I've ever seen when I adopted him. A friend found him starving to death all alone and crazy as hell having been abandoned in a park in downtown LA. And now he's the most well-behaved boy you ever did see. It takes a lot of commitment to repetition and hard work to get them there, but eventually they get there.

Positive reinforcement when she goes outside (treats), negative reinorcement when she goes inside (not hitting - usually a stern NO! will do it), don't leave the water bowl out, etc. Repetition, repetition, repetition. That's the key to everything. Dogs are creatures of routine. (Of course, it helps when you have a bigger dog because they're smarter, but what are you gonna do? Get a Pit Bull next time )

I think the Roiders all deserve an award for trying so hard to help their teams win, but that's just me......

Pierre Beckham (Alexei has shown he can't hit two) Quentin (assuming he hits near .300) LH DH Konerko Pierzynski Rios (assuming he hits more than .200) Teahen Ramirez

Crap - I don't even remember Andy Gonzalez. When was he on the team?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 01:23 PM) I've got to be honest, I think we are looking at a trade, and I honestly think we are giving up an impact player. I really think KW is shopping Quentin. It's an interesting notion, but isn't that Filling a Hole by Creating a Hole? I don't like TCQ's injury history, but that would still leave no real DH.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 01:17 PM) You heard anything about the names? Reading between the lines of what I heard, I expect it to be a young player that will cost a lot. I know we just did a deal with the Dodgers, but they have a ton of holes and a need in the rotation and no room to really add payroll. I wonder if the Sox could find a way to put together a massive package to acquire Andre Ethier. We both know the Dodgers are in total chaos, but I can't see them trading Ethier - I think their fanbase would revolt.

I'm predicting Carlos Delgado.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 01:15 PM) Or he's playing that game I played when I was a kid at a stoplight, trying to predict when the light would turn green. If he keeps guessing 'green' enough, eventually it'll happen. WINNAH!

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the pen KW goes with and then trades for someone in season.

Per SiriusXM's MLB HomePlate Channel: 1 yr, 3 mil I think is what I just heard (they said it fast). it's here: http://twitter.com/mlbCoz

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 4, 2009 -> 12:29 PM) Agree, but the idea of any of Jones/Kotsay/GMJ DHing on a regular basis is frightening, and even if you do DH CQ, IMO the defensive gain going from CQ to GMJ or Kotsay isn't worth the loss in production from the OF, especially if we don't get a lead-off hitter and we end up leading off with GMJ or something. Yuck. And again the money issue is horrible for us in 2011 if we have Matthews. GMJ gets $11M in 2010 and $12M in 2011, meaning that's $17.5M in 2011 for Linebrink and GMJ for about $2-3M worth of production. If we had to take on GMJ to get AGon I'd do it, but Linebrink has to be part of the deal. Sox trade: Konerko ($12M in '10), Linebrink ($5M in '10, $5.5M in '11), prospects Angels trade: GMJ ($11M in '10, $12M in '11), prospects Padres trade: Gonzalez ($4.75M in '10, $5.5M in '11) Sox get: Gonzalez, GMJ Angels get: Konerko, Linebrink Padres get: Sox prospects, Angels prospects The Angels would add $6M to the payroll in 2010 which would fill the DH hole and add another arm to the pen (at least for the first half), and then cut payroll by $6.5M in 2011. The Angels actually get better in 2010 and save money in 2011, so that is why they would have to trade prospects. The Sox would cut $1.25M off the payroll in 2010 and add $12M to the payroll in 2011 (which is what a departing PK would otherwise free up). Edit: Also Cot's says GMJ's full NTC expired after '09 and he only can void a deal to one of four unnamed clubs for the remainder of his deal. So as long as the Sox aren't one of those four teams that would be one obstacle out of the way. In my scenario above though Linebrink is included, and he does have a NTC, although I don't know if it's full or partial. Angels still don't want or need Konerko. Sorry.

I feel bad for Tiger. Should've been more careful with who you screw around with.....

without Matt Damon, that movie sounds like Direct to Video fodder.
