Really, just think, that cape is all I'd need to wear.

Not that I've got any reason to expect I'd be good at it.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 10, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) Wouldn't it be pretty cheap for cars to put in a USB connector too? Or just bluetooth connectivity to music files? But yea, you would think somebody would come out with some type of cheap connector for Ipod accessories. I'm sure the reason why no one has is that Apple won't let them for intellectual property reasons.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 10, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) I didn't realize that the Athletics traded Andre Ethier to LA for Bradley. They got 115 games in a season and a half from him and a border line MLB pitcher from SD to dump him. I'd say Beane lost that trade. Could you imagine the complaining if KW had ever done a deal that bad?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 10, 2011 -> 02:27 PM) Year over year they were up, not quarterly. I got it from their annual report. Again, still incorrect. The year over year sales in Q2 were down, the total year sales were down.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 10, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) False. Ipod sales are up year over year. They sold 9 million in Q2 FY 11 I have no idea where you got this statement. iPod sales peaked in around 2008. They've been declining as iPhone sales (including mine now!) surged.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) Heck how many kids were named "Jordan"? Jordan has been in the top 50 names for boys for >the last decade and has dropped from the 50th most popular name for girls to the 178th most popular name for girls over the last decade.

Learning to knit sounds painful.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 10, 2011 -> 11:31 AM) Elijah Dukes? "In MLB".

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ May 10, 2011 -> 01:10 PM) The head coaches are the voters, and you can't vote for players on your team. Doesn't mean they're paying attention

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 10, 2011 -> 11:05 AM) I wish I had a bandwagon gene in me. I'd love to be a Nationals fan right now. When Strasburg comes back and Harper gets to the Show, they'll be the top draw in the league, IMO. I don't know if they can possibly pass the Red Sox/Yankees in terms of draw...and there's an "if Stras comes back as himself and this time doesn't get hurt" in there...but you're actually on track with this one. That'd be a team I'd just keep coming back to on Extra Innings just to see what they're doing.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 10, 2011 -> 11:00 AM) Oh i understand. I am not saying they run it 500 times. maybe like 5-10. That would at least help limit the possibility of such a lopsided group from being formed (not that I am complaining) If the choosing is truly random then the probability of a lopsided group forming is the same whether they do the votes 1 time or 20 times.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 10, 2011 -> 10:57 AM) I understand that the program is supposed to be completely random, but wouldnt it help to run the program several time and take the top vote getters? If it's random then eventually if you run the program enough times they should all have close to the same number of votes.

Go fool yourself.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 10, 2011 -> 10:41 AM) Captain America looks great, I'm sure that will at least be solid. I'm not sold on the X-Men movie because the last couple have been awful and Fox Films suck for the most part. Green Lantern looks all kinds of awful though. That CGI looks like it is straight out of 1995. The quality of the CGI has that big of an impact on how you judge a movie?

Everyone from Dartmouth plays darts with their mouths.

Which tells me that a very large chunk of those voters simply aren't paying attention.

First real good, solid evidence that the exploding drinking water is actually caused by the shale gas extraction.

At least the version in TN has stalled out for this year.

Texas has been playing like crap lately and has dropped to .500.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 10, 2011 -> 02:11 AM) Blackburn and Liriano were both in danger of losing their spots in the rotation and now they're both on mini-rolls. We have that effect on them.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 10, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) He'll clear waivers and then the Mariners will release him. At that point, he will be a free agent and can sign with any team. I'd be quite surprised if anyone signed him. If there's any guy in MLB who's burned their bridge to everyone...

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 9, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) well, just as long as it's totally overpriced then i'm fine with paying for it. maybe start a special bonus fund for the executives too. Now you're getting it.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 9, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) Ha, it works on so many levels.
