Milkman delivers

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 05:41 PM) I just don't get the love it receives, maybe I'm too young or because I don't like hockey but never has impacted me. What don't you get?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) Ugh, I knew people would say the Miracle on Ice. It was a game, not a moment, thats why it doesn't count. They celebrated a huge victory, like teams do all the time. The commentary made it legendary. But to each his own, I suppose. I do love that Michael Johnson 200m race as well. Those gold shoes were incredible and I do remember watching that. I said the "closing seconds" of the game, which would be a moment. Another one that stands out in my head, even though I was very young, was Paxson's 3-pointer against the Suns.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 09:53 AM) I'm aware. I was combining Jake Peavy and Henry Rowengartner. How did I not figure that out?

I wasn't around, but I can't even imagine what it would have been like to watch those closing seconds of the miracle on ice live.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) Yes, i had been wanting to get to it ever since kalapse asked if i had seen it. I ended up seeing it several months back, and i would agree that it was an extremely well done piece of cinema. But once more, some people just can't handle subtitles, and they miss out on excellence. I read some forums after i saw the film (as i always do), and that was good for a laugh or several. The political views on imdb are always gold. Hell, just about anyplace in reality. About four years ago i was reading a thread there in which a japanese girl claimed to be 5'3 and 78 pounds. She was going on and on about how anyone over 92 pounds is obese and not worthy of living. Americans disgusted her to no end. I read over 20 pages worth of arguments that occurred after that. Why? She believed what she was saying 100%, with absolutely zero intention of trolling. I was looking at a pretty obscure tv series when i came across her, and for the life of me i can't recall what it was, which is what annoys me, because i almost don't believe what i read was real. Btw, has anyone seen tucker & dale vs evil by chance? I don't watch a lot of movies with subtitles nor do I avoid them, but I find they actually get me into the movie a little more. In regards to IMDB, I never use their discussion boards or ratings anymore. The rating system for Netflix is so spot-on after all of the rating I've done that it is unnecessary to go to IMDB other than to see the names of actors and the awards.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 05:03 PM) IF you watch his interview, that's one of the "many" (although in this case, two examples) of offers he has... they are trying to get him to do Major League 3. Didn't they do a Major League 3 already? It was awful, but I'm pretty sure they did.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) Onions prepared in any way? Because I absolutely love sauteed onions on a burger or steak, but raw onions don't do it for me on a burger. I don't mind a few chopped onions on a chili dog, but any more than "a few" and it becomes overpowering. And I absolutely love onion straws (like a blooming onion) but really don't like onion rings. Basically, too much raw onion flavor can ruin a dish, but just a hint of it or have them cooked until all of the sugars come out of them makes for some tasty food. Onion rings (and blooming onions) are fine, but that's because they no longer have any onion flavor.

Anyone ever see The Lives of Others? I just got done watching it, and I think it's one of my favorite movies ever. Top 20 for sure.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) I'm the same way with pickles. And here I love pickles.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) The acting is pretty good actually, especially from the leads. The problem with the show is that it's not what I expected it to be. It's in the Law and Order mold with one major plot line (going after the Alderman) - every episode has X crime that's amazingly solved/worked on by the same 5-6 cops. Lame. I wanted it to be a character driven show about those 5-6 cops bringing down or trying to bring down a corrupt politician. I don't care for the weekly crime solving. I'll continue to watch with hopes that it's going to get better. It still has it's moments, like the voice overs, and the ending to last night's episode made it a little more "dirty." We'll see. Jury is still out for me. That sounds like how Justified started. The first few episodes didn't seem to have any major plotline to follow, just the character solving a crime on each show. I stopped watching because of that, and apparently it got better and better after I stopped lol. Perhaps that's what will happen with this show.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) If you say so. Humber is horrible and will be an automatic loss whenever he takes the mound. I could be in the running for the 5th spot and Coop or Merkin or Ranger will talk about my upside. I ignore anything and everything fluff related in Feb/March. But that's what happens when you have zero organizational depth. So if Humber (or any of the automatic loss AAAA guys) wins a single game this year, does that mean you have to shut up about it?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 12:03 PM) Anyone else getting bored with Chicago Code? I haven't watched a single episode because it looked way too cheesy and badly acted. It seems that nobody is continuing to watch it, so it probably won't make it past or through this season.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 11:52 PM) Have had my pup for about 10 days now. Ran into my new neighbor with him today. She offered her babysitting services and gave me her number. Turns out she is a dancer at Spearmint Rhino. Good dog, good dog. This is the beginning of a porno, you lucky rat bastard. That seriously can work.

I'm such a contrarian that I hate almost all of the things you people have already mentioned, and I couldn't even think of all of the stuff I hate. I can tell you the thing I hate the most that a lot of people seem to love: onions. They are on everything if you don't specifically request that they not be. I'll throw out entire plates of food if there are onions in it if they can't be picked off easily, like if they're chopped up. One bite of a single little onion piece and I'll no longer stomach the food.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) If he starts asking for it he can only expect it. The point is, it would hurt the Sox big time if they were the team that ordered the pitch that hit Morneau in the head and ended his career. You're talking major media drama distracting the team not to mention killing the team image. No thanks, go dominate them on the scoreboard to prove your rivalry dominance. You seem to be implying that the Sox would intentionally be hitting him and that the media would run with that story. Nobody is advocating that.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 03:51 PM) I do plan on seeing them all. I just was saying that the fact most of them did not get me out to the movies, in my opinion, showed that it was a weaker year. May I retrospectively go back and change my mind? Sure. The only movie of the list that I have not seen that I wanted to was Black Swan. So...you basically want to judge a book by its cover?

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) And yesterday. There were like 7 posts yesterday. Yankees/Phillies today if you need a quick fix. Tell me about it. I went away Friday morning through this morning without checking Soxtalk once. There was hardly anything new.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) Good thing your opinion doesn't affect me. Just too bad Ozzie didn't say Hot Fire first, or you'd be buying t-shirts. I don't like Bacon as a nickname either, so don't lump me in with everyone else because I don't think your embarrassingly terrible nicknames are any good.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) It all depends on how he hits... Nice.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 01:26 AM) Um...well....I never had a competing nickname for Alexei or Gordon, so he won that by default. He was awfully lazy with Viciedo's nickname, and The Mole for Morel is pretty bad. Sooo, in my opinion, Viciedo's is the only one where we both had good nicknames, but again, his was awfully lazy. Also, I'm not convinced that the person who has said each nickname hasn't had an impact on how people perceive it. Ozzie could call Morel "The Carpet" and there would be a group of people who would like it. Oh come on! I'm not trying to be mean, but "Hot Fire" is the worst nickname I've ever heard. And I mean the worst.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 12:55 PM) Jake Rowengartner Henry!

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 08:06 AM) Oh come on, putting a player in danger like that who has had the injury history that he has is just a bad idea all around. There are plenty of pitchers who could deliver the right pitch, but there are plenty of factors that could go wrong and it's a risk you just don't take in this situation. And when he starts crowding the plate and crushing pitchers because he never gets brushed back anymore, they should just bend over and take it.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 01:18 PM) Did I miss the part where somebody suggested intentionally beaning him? Exactly. I just don't think he should have an easier go of it (not having to worry about being brushed off) because he was injured before.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) I liked Inception, but admittedly the only other nominee I saw was True Grit. When I think about Best Picture, I add into the category "uniqueness". The reason I never saw the King's Speech is because Ive already seen so many historical period pieces (especially about World War II) that I just would rather actually see the real history. Im sure that it was a very moving tale about a Monarch who had a speech impediment, but if you are going to get me to pay money at the theater to watch another WWII film, I better see at least 1 action sequence, otherwise Ill just go read about it on the internet. As soon as its available Ill catch it on Netflix, but in my opinion the only movie that I felt I needed to see in the theaters this year was Inception. Hate it or love it, at least it brought something different to the table. Overall I thought movies this year were meh, which would be evidenced by my lack of movie going. You missed out, as there were a lot of really good movies this year. And if all you need is a unique plot or action sequence, you can give the highest movie honor to some pretty terrible movies.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) Dude. That's now two places. I think he's stalking you. Shuuuuut uuuuuup!
