Milkman delivers

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) Tim Hudson is gonna enjoy watching his new 2nd baseman field all those ground balls. Despite that, I do think its a great move for the Braves. He really is an impact bat, that can make up for his defense, plus you may be able to stick him in LF anyway. Since 2006, Uggla has the 5th most HRs out of all right handed hitters, just behind A-Rod, Pujols, MCab, & PK. Wow, I never would have guessed that.

I'm really surprised by the number of beer snobs here. I don't mean snob in a bad sense, but I only know a couple of people like that in real life.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) This season they are just taking main storylines from 2 previous seasons and putting into this one. Yeah, it's been discussed a few times in here. Like I said, it's still interesting enough to keep it going, but they have to end it soon. Ideally, they'll come up with an original storyline for next season and end it there.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 01:40 AM) I was pulled over one night when I was 18 for looking suspicious. I was driving home when I decided I wanted some ice cream, so I pulled into a strip mall parking lot to turn around. When I pulled out, a cop come up behind me, pulled me over, and was really curious about what I was doing in that parking lot since "all the stores are closed." I literally told him I turned around so I could get ice cream at the grocery store, and I'm not sure he believed me b/c he asked if I had been drinking and 4 separate times asked if I had drugs in the car. I told him I lived about 2 blocks from where he had pulled me over, and after he ran my plates and took my license, he came back to the car and gave me a "have a good night, sir." That was it. Kind of anti-climactic considering all the questions he was asking me about where I had been, if I was drinking, had drugs, etc. About three years ago, I was driving home from a friend's house. The distance between my place and hers was probably only a quarter mile of almost traffic-less streets. I had a few (now I wasn't drunk, but I was close) and decided to take the longer way in order to listen to a song that came on the radio. This was obviously a terrible decision. Well, as I'm driving down another road which gets much more traffic, I see a couple of blinking yellow lights coming up. My first thought was that it was an accident site, so I continued. As I neared, I realized it was a random sobriety stop and I knew I couldn't just pull a U-turn (even though there wasn't anyone behind or in front of me to prevent it), as it would almost assuredly tell the cops I was drunk. I end up pulling to the stop and a cop comes up and asks how many I had. I don't want to look like an obvious liar, so I stretch the truth a little bit and say I had about three beers with dinner. He asks me to pull into the empty strip mall parking lot. At this point, I'm freaking out in my head but keeping a cool demeanor outwardly. I realize the first part of this test is actually going to be parking between the lines with no other cars to judge by. I don't know about you guys, but I use the cars around me as a barometer a lot when I'm parking in a lot like that. Thankfully I did it just fine. One cop ran my license and registration while another had me walk a line, touch my index fingers to my nose, and say the ABC's forwards and backwards. Then they bring out the breathalyzer and now I'm terrified. I know I can hold my alcohol, but I can't fake a BAC test. As soon as I'm done, the cop turns around and calls another cop over to check it out. I'm thinking that this definitely has to mean I blew over .08. The cop comes back to me and says "I thought you did fine with the physical tests, but the breathalyzer says you're fine." Now he didn't emphasize the word "but," but we all know that "but" usually precedes an opposite statement. For the millisecond after he said "but," my heart dropped to the ground. With the relief I felt about passing, my personality almost got the best of me for a second. I asked, "You said you think I did fine, but I passed the breathalyzer, right?" He said, "yes." I then began to say, "But 'but' would mean..." and I cut myself off and decided I should just thank him and leave. Turns out I blew about half of the legal limit and called my friend when I got home to let her know what happened. She agreed that I had just experienced a miracle as I should've blown higher. Anyway, I'm now terrified to drive drunk, as I should be. Whenever I tell this story to a friend and mention the part about saying the ABC's backwards, they almost always say, "I can't do that sober." This leads me to believe that cops ask people to do that so that they slip up and incriminate themselves.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 10:10 AM) the hell you say I'm nowhere near as big a fan of that show as most people seem to be. I've said it a thousand times, but the show just doesn't have legs. It's a very good thing that they make the seasons short and that they're only making three seasons. I'm sure the writers and creators know what they're doing and know it doesn't have legs.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 04:32 AM) Anyone else think Dexter is just same s*** season after season, I loved the show but season 5 is just mediocre for me.. still watch it but meh. They are making this season just different enough to work. But honestly, they need to wrap it up soon. Next season should be the last one.

No matter what they do in the final episode, this season of SOA has been quite a disappointment. The only part I really liked about tonight's episode was the priest sacrificing himself. Other than that, they came up with a very convenient way to get Jimmy O back to America where they can hand him over to the ATF. I like the fact that he's still in the show, but that was just weak.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 05:42 PM) It was awesome when he beat the ever-loving s*** out of the abusive husband.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) Saturday is a fine Chicago song Well, nowhere near as good as Beginnings.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 01:11 PM) DVR! Terriers is a can't miss for me. Well, you could wait until the DVDs come out. That's not the problem. I just don't want to watch that much TV. I like to spend the free time I have (in the home) on movies.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 05:55 PM) I love this guy. Every article so far that I've read, has been excellent. I agree. I've only recently seen his work, but it's all been great. Google him, though. He does not look like a baseball writer

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 06:02 PM) I only answered like 2/3 of the questions (people were asking me some pretty freaky s*** that I didn't want to answer) I had dozens of questions. I think it's over now though. It's at the bottom of the news feed on the right. "Edit options" Sweet, didn't know that. Thanks.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 06:05 PM) Well "Person of the Year" isn't an award QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) The title is supposed to be given to the person who had the greatest influence/effect on the world in the year. Of course, they usually ignore that rule any more to give it to someone who's actually politically palatable. And those are some pathetic choices.

FDR, Churchill, Hitler, MLK, LBJ, Kissinger, and now potentially one of these choices. Depressing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) Without this thread, I probably wouldn't have even noticed. Same here. I would've said "who cares?", but apparently a lot of people do. I would like to see them bust out the red striped uniforms a few times a season, though.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 11, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) For some reason, I would think that Bo Knows Defense just a tad bit better than CQ does That's the first thing that went through my head. The second thing was that the 29-year-old Brad Lidge just happens to be the 2005 Brad Lidge, and that scared the crap out of me.

We used to go down to Tennessee every year (at least every other year) for a while when I was younger. Most of the things we did involved Country music or the University of Tennessee, and I don't think either of those will help you, Shipps. We spent most of our time in Nashville, Knoxville, or the Smoky Mountains. I believe it's quite a drive from Nashville to the mountains, but I would suggest you try it if you have the chance.

Yikes, I have no suggestions. I just know that I won't be bringing my cell phone with me if I travel outside of the US. In fact, I'll probably just continue my life of never leaving the country.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 12:14 PM) Robocop supports the Orange? Imagine you have him as a professor?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 12:00 PM) Your eyes must hurt. I know. I don't watch anywhere near as much TV as that would suggest, but Sundays are just ridiculous. During the week, the only shows I watch religiously are SOA and It's Always Sunny. I refuse to watch Terriers (which I've heard only great things about) just because I don't want to have that many shows I can't miss.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) Really? I'm on the brink of 'hiding' you. I thought the same thing, but then I'm not sure how to unhide people for when this Q&A thing is over. Speaking of Peter Weller in the TV thread, I remembered that I saw him on a History Channel thing earlier in the week as I was falling asleep. I forgot to look into it, but just did. I was confused when the show said "Peter Weller, Syracuse University" and this explains it. I had no idea that he was on faculty there.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 10:59 AM) I think this season is getting better as it goes. They have 5 more episodes to make it really good. It's just too hard to follow up last season with anything to rival it. In my opinion, they have one more season left in them, and they should try to end it with a bang. I agree with everything you said here. And yes, there is no topping last season. The second that Lithgow signed on, I knew that season would be incredible. When they faded out last night's episode with Peter Weller looking over the pictures he just took of Dexter and Lumen disposing of the bags, I got a chubby. This is going to get extremely interesting.

The Road (film) was pretty good, but it definitely didn't come close to the hype.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Nov 14, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) last 2 or 3 episodes of boardwalk empire have been fantastic IMO All of the shows I watch on Sundays were awesome last night. I'm actually pretty glad that Eastbound & Down is done because it makes the rest of my schedule work so much better. I still watch Fox's two-hour block from 7-9 (I know it's not nearly as good as it used to be, but it's still something I enjoy). I then watch Walking Dead at 9, Dexter at 10, and Boardwalk Empire at 11.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) Daniel Tosh show was fantastic. The opening act had me laughing from start to finish, too. The middle guy wasn't very good, though.
