Oh Hell, Fox has this game? F***.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) On the last one pre-snap I just thought "sorry kid, no way in hell God let's this kick go through the uprights." Shank left. ESPN just told me that the kicker was Robbie Hummel's cousin.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 04:03 PM) Whenever Lillian makes a thread about replacing someone, they do better. That would be a welcome response here.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:13 PM) No Brent Morel on that list? Does Josh Phegley give anyone hope of this organization producing a decent catcher I doubt Morel counts any more even if it wasn't for this horrid injury-riddled season. Way too much service time.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 03:01 PM) oh plenty of people do. but your 'win' issue will not win Obama anything. Draw, at best. If you look at any polls showing the order of issues, ranked by relevance to voters, social issues are down big time. And one other thing...a lot of those votes are pretty much locked in. Mitt Romney looking like the standard GOP homophobosaur isn't going to suddenly move a whole lot of them.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 01:19 PM) We should enjoy this because after this year the immediate future of this team does not look promising. -Poster Marty34, June 2011.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 12:40 PM) A marijuana smoker getting lazy? Yeah, remarkable isn't it? I believe a few years ago there were stories about him having a real good 2nd half after he improved his conditioning during the year. Now we're seeing the opposite.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 12:06 AM) What happened to Tim Lincecum this season? Injuries? I think he's just getting lazy regarding conditioning. He's down 2 mph on his fastball this year for starters. As a consequence all of his pitches are getting hit harder.

This is the first time the Royals have beaten the White Sox 6 in a row since 1982.

Come on GB

H Christ

Holy crap, it's 5-5 now

Sigh.

Throw a damn strike

Yeah...no one expected him to homer tonight I'm sure.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) I'm fine with him playing PK when Youk and Dunn are out. De Aza Olmedo Wise Johnson Rios Pierzynski Danks Alexei Beckham Somehow I wouldn't feel too confident with that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 09:32 AM) Play like you're angry about something AJ. I'm content.

Come on Dayan

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 05:55 PM) they are easy to identify. they are referred to as unemployed or underemployed. Now that doesn't make a lick of sense...

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) Youk - paternity confirmed by Gregor, could be back Sunday. He needed the time off anyway.

If it was easy to identify the "Right people" to be teaching those sorts of skills, we'd have a lot more people who have learned them .

This is fairly entertaining, NSFW, and hopefully not blocked by the swear filter.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 05:10 PM) This is true...we have recently been able to hire a ton of electrical engineers as Power Traders and in Portfolio Analytics due to the flux of college graduates in a bad job market. However, these positions we have are a combination of understanding how electrical generating units work and understanding how to trade and move around energy in complex energy markets. It is really a hybrid of skills that no one degree can prepare one for. Thus, we need people that are capable of learning and adapting quickly under pressure, which are more skills that seem to occur naturally in people rather than anything that can be taught. Eh, in my experience that's the kind of skill that actually is the thing you want to be teaching people, and it's something that can be taught if you have the right people...but then again, I haven't done any sort of study to establish that, so I'm the one throwing out an off-subject-anecdote now.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 05:06 PM) Didnt you hear Obama's speech last night, if you dream it you can achieve it. If you cant injure him alone, what about if the govt gave you a baseball bat. And after you beat Lebron we can all cheer, "We did that!". Maybe not a baseball bat, but a long term steroid regiment might do it...
