Milkman delivers

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 11:10 AM) I thought it was decent too. Definitely not great. Matt Damon was very good, as was the beautiful French actress. I didn't much care for the ending. Eh, the ending was pretty good.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 09:19 AM) Exactly. Illitch will spend as much as his heart desires, he always has. The only question is will his recent purchase of the Pistons affect his spending. I say probably not. He owns the Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings? Wow, that's crazy.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 07:52 AM) To me it's simple, if we re-sign Konerko, we will be bargain shopping the rest of our need positions. If we lose Konerko, we will get a dabble with some big names, but lose out when we offer half of another team and then be forced to bargain shop. Regardless, we will be bargain shopping, but whether it's be force or choice remains to be seen. I don't feel like we need a huge overhaul as well, but we need about 4-5 solid players to get back to a playoff team. Obviously power at 1st base, two relievers and some two solid bench additions. I agree with everything you said, except I do think we need an overhaul.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 09:21 AM) I do not know how to react to SOA right now. It is moving and there is plenty of action but it is getting frustratingly dragged out with the Abel thing. I just want them to get the kid and go after Jimmy...the kid thing is getting tiring. I agree, plus it feels like they're just forcing Gemma down our throats. It's like they're altering the storyline and making it more ridiculous just to work her into the show more and more. This season seems to be about Gemma, and that is just chapping my ass.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 09:05 AM) Link That last line is great. The commercial where the janitor walks into the room and turns the light on and finds Conan just waiting at his desk for November 8 is hilarious.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 08:49 AM) Club sandwiches not sea lions LOL, that got me.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 08:38 AM) What a crock... And that's where we get the term.

PLEEEEEEEEEASE let Jimmy O kill Gemma! That hour and a half episode was really just a 50 minute episode with 40 minutes of commercials.

Definitely better.

I like all of these moves. It's obvious to bring Thornton back and makes a lot of sense to retain Castro. Very glad to see Torres leave, as he's a talentless hack with no marbles.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 10:27 AM) No it isn't. Well, I don't think so. The future looks bleaker (is that a word?) for our crosstown rivals on the north side. Sure, things aren't perfect, and we have a lot of holes and work to do in the off season. But I wouldn't say things are BLEAK. We won 88 games last year with out our ace and without a DH. There's a good chance that things could fall into place next year, and we could have something special again. I mean, who predicted what happened in 2005 before it happened? That's like saying a 99-year-old man with pancreatic cancer has a bleaker future than you. Not saying much.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) In the history of the postseason, there have been 8 "10+ strikeout, 0 walk" games. Cliff Lee has 4. Wow, cool stat.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) My signature with Sandra Bullock and an owl? No great significance, I just thought that it was a funny comparison. Ah the avatar... It's the ORLY owl as The Crow. Ah, thought it was something with the name O'Reilly. Couldn't really tell with the size of the picture.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) I love Boardwalk Empire, but many of the plot lines are going to take a few episodes, if not seasons, to play out. Exactly what I was saying.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) I think some of the ones showing up in the list should be classified more as a thriller than horror. The problem with horror movies is that there aren't a whole lot of really good ones IMHO. So many of them are old and cheesy or just the typical kill a bunch of sex-crazed teenagers gore-fest. Some of them I think people remember seeing them as kids and being scared but if they watched them now they'd wonder what they were so afraid of. Then there are the horror-comedies like Army of Darkness or Shaun of the Dead. My #1 would definitely still get in my head if I saw it for the first time today. QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) There are some solid films in this list. You all have good taste. What's your avatar supposed to be?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 08:39 AM) I lasted two episodes of "Boardwalk Empire". Everything was telling me I should love that show, but I wound up just being shocked that each episode wasn't over yet. I found it sooooooo boring. When it comes to movies based on organized crime, there are usually two ways to go. One way is to slowly build up with character development and the other is to just have a lot of people get killed. Boardwalk Empire seems to be going with the former, which can definitely seem more boring to a lot of people. It's a major reason why some people don't like (or haven't even seen) any of the Godfather movies.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 08:28 PM) Ha, that's not what my mom said Wait, what?

QUOTE (Felix @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) Just tried watching Boondock Saints II. Turned it off after 22:30. I tend to enjoy brainless action movies, but this was beyond awful. Easily one of the worst movies I've ever tried to watch. I don't want to see it at all. Saw Hereafter last night, though. It was pretty good. I can't say it was great, but maybe I just expect too much from Eastwood anymore. For a two-hour movie, it really flew by.

How many clubs did it take to bring that sea lion down?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 08:53 PM) very bizarre episode of boardwalk empire last night ....anyone want to explain to me what the prohibition agent was doing beating the s*** out of himself with a belt to margarets picture?? some sort of psychosexual david carradine s*** or something???? the jimmy - al dynamic is awesome....the actors that play those 2 guys and the guy who plays said prohibition agent are phenomenal I believe he's very religious, and he's apparently having feelings for Mrs. Schroeder (remember his superior asking "What is this obsession with the Schroeder thing?"). He was punishing himself for having such feelings. I remember him even quoting the Bible after interrogating that guy in the dentist's office. Couldn't agree more with the Jimmy/Al dynamic. I'm especially liking the Capone character. I don't remember the actor who plays Jimmy from anything, but the guy who plays Capone (Stephen Graham) is from quite a few movies, although in relatively small parts. The biggest part I can recall him in is Snatch as Tommy. When the show first started, I had no idea Capone would be such a major character and I'm very glad he is. The agent (Michael Shannon) has been around for years and was even nominated for an Oscar recently.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 06:50 PM) The balls from high school to college have definitely had more subdued seams, and I agree from handling balls I've acquired from pro games that those balls have practically no seams. I hate those things. I'm a sinkerballer and the ball moves less when the seams stick out less. That caused me to stop reading for a second to let out a nice, loud "HA!"

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) That is awesome!!! Thanks, most things I do are.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) I thought San Francisco typically had warmer Falls. EDIT: Yes. The average high temperature is warmer in October than in June or July. via Quiet, you!

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 04:59 PM) Indeed there were dragons. Both land and sea variety. Here's the land variety from North Seymour in the central islands. Follow-up question: Do they indeed breathe fire?

Very much so.
