2010 World Series: Rangers vs. Giants
QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 11:41 PM) Bengie Molina is getting a ring no matter what. Life's got to be good for him. That's awesome. Why are they waiting for Wednesday to start this series, though? I mean, there has been plenty of time between the LCS's and now, plus you can have games on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday if you start the series on Tuesday.

2010 NLCS: Giants vs. Phillies
QUOTE (balfanman @ Oct 25, 2010 -> 08:47 AM) I am excited for this series for many reasons, one of those being the "new blood" involved. I really could not of cared less if it was the Yankess & Phillies again. I liked well pitched games and this series promises that. I think that one of the bigger reasons that I prefer this matchup is the weather. Thanks to the idiots that run MLB this series is going to run into November. I would much rather see baseball played in Texas and San Francisco in November than in New York and Philadelphia. The games in Texas will probably have weather that's ideal for baseball, but doesn't San Francisco get pretty cold at night due to being right on the water?

2010 NLCS: Giants vs. Phillies
QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 11:05 AM) I don't know how anyone can say this World Series is "garbage" without one pitch being thrown yet. Seriously? It's baseball. They won the games fair and square to get there. To write it off before it even starts is exactly what the ESPNs of the world are training people to think---if the Yankees or Red Sox, or other east coast powers don't get there, it's not good enough. Well, f*** them. Enjoy the games no matter who is playing, and maybe they'll be great games. Maybe they'll be boring. Who knows? But to write off this series before it even starts...I really feel sorry for those people, because they don't remember a time when people weren't obsessed with a few teams and what a network's ratings are. Who said it would be garbage? The ratings will be bad and that's just stating a fact.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 12:29 PM) Various supreme court decisions take precedence for me. Zoinks! Why the hell would the Supreme Court get involved in that? Either way, I'd take a botanist's word on the subject over a judge.

Five Years Ago Today - 10/22/2005
QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 22, 2010 -> 04:17 PM) Weren't you like 2 when the Bears won the Superbowl? You didn't live through that title run like you did with the Sox. I could care less about the 85 Bears because it means nothing to me. I respect history, but it brings me no emotion. The Sox World Series run took over my life, just like many others. I'll never be sick of the 2005 season. To say the very least, that is how I felt, too. I'm positive that I took time off of my lifespan with all of the worrying/pressure/excitement. October of 2005 was consumed by the White Sox.

2010 ALCS: Rangers vs. Yankees
Whenever I have no rooting interest in the playoffs, I can usually pick the team that will eventually win it. I've had a feeling about the Giants since the postseason started, so I'm sticking with them. Having said that, I don't care which one of these teams wins it. The only player on either team that I dislike is Hamilton (I don't care about his drug problem, the guy's a hero because he did heroin while guy's who never touched drugs in their lives aren't worth mentioning).

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 22, 2010 -> 09:56 AM) Martin Freeman is and has always been the perfect guy to play Biblo. I'm very excited to see things finally kicking into place for The Hobbit. I didn't know who he was by his name and recognized him after looking him up. He definitely has the look.

Does anyone here play Mafia Wars still? Knight got me into it even though I told him I would probably get obsessed with it (thanks, Knight Anyway, they just released the new city and I mastered it in a day. Yikes.

2010 NLCS: Giants vs. Phillies
QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 21, 2010 -> 09:05 AM) Love that Uribe got to be the hero. Obviously the Giants have a huge advantage at this point, but I think that advantage becomes even bigger because of Lincecum's attitude. He doesn't seem to be a guy who would let the importance of this game get to his head. With his team up 3-1 in the series, I think he goes out there tonight with a very relaxed attitude and just dominates because he knows that he doesn't have to be perfect. And I'd love to see Halladay get rocked. I like the guy and all, but I love to see teams' big acquisitions go down in flames when they're needed the most. Perhaps I was wrong about Lincecum. He's pissing all over himself.

2010 ALCS: Rangers vs. Yankees
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 21, 2010 -> 09:27 AM) If he pitched in game 6, he would be on only 3 days rest. I believe there has been lots of talk in the past how Lee doesn't want to pitch on 3 days rest and I'm not sure if he ever has. I think they are saving him for game 7, not with the WS in mind, but just thinking that Lee on 4 days rest >>>>>> on 3 days rest. Colby Lewis is no slouch either, and he already beat Hughes once in this series. I didn't know he was against throwing on 3 days rest. Oh well, I just hope they end it as soon as possible.

Dexter
QUOTE (docsox24 @ Oct 21, 2010 -> 10:00 AM) There is some good stuff this year but the thing I don't like is there isn't that one big case going on throughout the show that you are trying to figure out. I really don't care one bit about this murder case Deb and the new cop are chasing. It isnt very interesting compared to the past seasons big cases. Maybe because it has 0 ties to Dexter. Another thing when that IA guy was interviewing the captain chick, was he implying that he wanted her to give him the best BJ in Miami and he would drop all charges? I believe so.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 10:53 PM) Derek "Pastadiving" Jeter is just too good defensively. When I first read that, I thought it said "pasta diving." After reading it again, "past-a-diving" is a perfect nickname for him.

2010 ALCS: Rangers vs. Yankees
QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) There's a bit of a 2003 Cubs vibe with the Rangers. Up 3-1 in the series, and everyone seems too confident they'll win based on who they have pitching in game 6 and/or 7. Ever since they went up 2-1, I've been scared that that blown first game will come back to haunt them. I hope that's not going to happen, though. It looks like they're holding Lee back for game 7. He pitched on Monday, wouldn't you throw him in game 6? I know you want to try to set him up to open up the World Series, but you have to get there first.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) For no reason whatsoever I just decided to shave my entire head. I look funny. My halloween costume involves me shaving my head (and I mean with a razor). I am quite certain I will look bad, but hey, it will grow back. That first week is going to be tough, then it should look normal again.

2010 Fall TV Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) Well, the Sons have paid back said guy by saving his kid or something IIRC. Jimmy O is definitely going down. He went to them, I believe with money, to get rid of the guy who already molested his daughter. He was paying, so it should have been settled at that. Clay got the guy to hold the knife so that his fingerprints would be on it, and used the knife as leverage to get him to do them favors. They're bad guys in the end. That is another reason SOA reminds me of The Sopranos. The main characters of the shows are bad guys, but since you see the story from their point of view, you start to see them as good guys. The writers of both shows do/did a very good job of reminding you every once in a while that these are bad people. An example that I really loved from The Sopranos was when Ralph's son was hospitalized after playing with a bow and arrow. There were many references to Sympathy For The Devil throughout the episode, including Ralph repeating lines from the song in conversation at two separate occasions. It's a reminder that, even though something bad is happening to them, don't have sympathy for these people. They're bad, they made their beds, and now they have to sleep in them.

Peavy vows to "listen to my body"
QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 09:53 AM) Man I don't have a good feeling at all about Peavy going forward. I hope I'm wrong. I really do. Join the club. As soon as he suffered an injury that is rare for pitchers, no matter how well the trainers say he's healing, I started to think that he's never going to be the same pitcher.
