Milkman delivers

This series should be over right now.

I'd be much more interested if they hired Randy Quaid.

Pride And Glory was pretty good, although pretty predictable.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 09:54 AM) What an exceptional episode of SOA (no surprise). Tig just flat-out rocks. Next week's 90-minute episode looks insanely awesome. Jax is going to beat some ass. It makes me wonder how it's all going to play out with the Irish Sons lying to SAMCRO. My first guess is that they're going to betray Jimmy O (as that is definitely what the priest is trying to do), but you never know. I don't like how they're making Unser out to be the bad guy, though. The guy has legitimately tried to help over and over, but they just keep f***ing him. The rich guy who own's the plane is another guy that SAMCRO f***s at every opportunity (blackmailing him in the first season, getting him to post bail, jumping bail, and now bringing Gemma along to Ireland).

Quietly so no one sees . . . That is the name of this thread.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 02:33 PM) Ditto And god I love this show right now. I'm like a little kid on Sunday nights waiting for it to come on. Steve is now my favorite character. I don't know how Stevie wouldn't be everyone's favorite character from the beginning.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) If you were trading for Greinke, which price would you expect to pay...the price for the 2009, best pitcher in baseball guy, or the price for the above average but no where near dominant every year but 2009 guy? If I were the Royals, I'd be asking for the kind of deal the Mariners got for Cliff Lee...a huge, top level prospect guy, which is the value of a recent cy young winner...but Greinke has only been that guy for 1 year, and he wasn't that guy in 2010. Would you give up Beckham, for example, for a guy with a 4.72 ERA in the 2nd half of 2010? It was more of a joke regarding our love of marginal Royals players. He would definitely cost a lot, and we don't need arms in the rotation.

It's good to know they will be a non-factor for a few years.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 12:50 PM) It was a very predictable "twist" that Eduardo Sanchez was his dad, but I am interested to see where this goes. When the coach showed him the picture of that ambidextrous pitcher, it very much seemed that that pitcher is the coach, but who knows, maybe that was supposed to be Kenny's dad. I'm about 100% sure it was the coach. It looked just like him and he was trying to teach Kenny a lesson that he learned the hard way.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 10:11 AM) Yankees now cannot win in New York. If the Rangers manage to win tonight, it seems almost impossible that they'd lose the series. Go Texas! Ugh, imagine if they didn't blow that first game. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 11:25 AM) It'll be interesting to see where everyone ends up, because apparently Grienke is on the market too now, which could really affect where Lee gets the best offer. Too bad Kenny won't be able to pull off a trade for a legitimately good Royals player.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 11:43 AM) Yeah? Well the Jerk Store called and they are runnin outta you! What's it matter? You're their all-time best seller.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 09:33 AM) Jersey Shores is yet another reality show I will never watch. Not that I'm some high brow intellect, but it just seems stupid., Kills me how many people watch that show. And then you have to hear them quote it all the time. Everyone watches it "ironically," but it's making those douche bags rich in the process. I hate people for watching it and I never will, like you.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 01:02 AM) Except that you both bang a lot of dudes!

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) The hoverboard was NOT real, but you may of been sarcastic. They also thought about using a refridgerator but Speilberg didn't want kids mimicing the movie and getting stuck in em. And again, can't wait for the Blu Ray!!! That was a good call by Spielberg, pretty damn responsible.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) I'm torn on that one. Clearly they'd benefit from a new city, but they'd also benefit from a new ballpark in that city. OTOH, neither of those seem to be happening any time in the near future, since it's not exactly a good time for cities to be off bidding for franchises. I really don't think that's the case. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I'm fairly confident that their attendance is abysmal. Great teams like the Rays should be able to draw a pretty good crowd no matter how bad their stadium is. I don't think those fans will just show up in droves (throughout the season, at least) just because of a new stadium.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 12:12 PM) Just to clarify something here, because of the way its being stated... Jerry Reinsdorf is not the owner of the Sox. He's AN owner, and not even the largest one at that. He's a stakeholder, who also happens to have taken on the role of spokesman for said ownership. This brings up a question I've wondered about before. This conglomerate ownership, is it something that is rare or normal in baseball? When owners of other teams are discussed, it usually seems like a single person (or family) is the owner.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 12:04 PM) Until Curt Flood, there was no reason to pay a player higher, because no one else could. The end of the reserve clause changed all of that. Anyone else think that might have been the single worst thing to happen to the game of baseball? There are now probably 10 places that know they will never win a World Series. 10? Seems a little high.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) Relax, I have all of the serial numbers filed off so they can't be traced anyway. But it can't be that simple, can it?

QUOTE (3E8 @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 11:36 AM) That's the allure. You can make any game 10x more exciting if you've got money riding on it What some would call "exciting," I'd call nerve-wracking.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 02:02 AM) None. They'll all be traded for guys who were in the All-Star game in 1999. QFT.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Oct 16, 2010 -> 03:54 PM) He was still the lead off hitter for a the division winning twins. Juan also got on base more than Elvis Andrus. I gotta say it in every post so you guys dont bring out the walk cards on my argument....he needs to take more walks though but by no means does he need to be benched like what was said before. He wasn't saying that he needs to be benched. He was saying that, even if the Sox had three better OF's than Pierre, he would still like to have him on the team. The only other spot would be on the bench.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Oct 15, 2010 -> 09:11 AM) I really don't understand all of the Juan Pierre hate. Sure, he isn't Rickey Henderson, but who is. Personally I think that Juan played some pretty good defense, can play at least adequate CF if needed, and hit okay for a lead off guy. He seems to be will liked in the clubhouse and leads by example with his work ethic. He came up with quite a few clutch hits this last season as I recall. He started out slow, but I would hardly call Juan Pierre the reason for any of our offensive woes. I would love to have a team where we could bat Juan 9th, but we don't, nor are we likely to have (afford) one in the near future. I'm sure there are a few guys out there who are better lead off guys, but I don't think any of them were on our team last year, nor are they likely to be on the Sox in 2011. As for Derek Jeter, I'm sure that he has some qualities that the Yankees love and does some things better than Juan, but usually there is nothing but hate for Jeter on this board because he seems to be so overated, especially defensively. It seems to me that if Jeter were on the Sox he wouldn't even have a place to play according to most here because Ramirez is a much better shortstop. All of this is JMHO of course, but I for one have no problem mentioning Juan Pierre and Derek Jeter in the same sentence as far as overall baseball abilities. The main thing that Jeter has going for him is that he plays in New York, for the Yankees. O. K., I've said my peace, Flame away. "Rickey Henderson is Rickey Henderson," says Rickey Henderson. Also, Jeter is overrated defensively. Offensively (aside from this year), he's every bit as good as advertised.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 16, 2010 -> 01:13 AM) But not every first round pick even makes the majors. The Sox have had first round picks that had less impact than Sale already has. That's not a very good argument, as the Sox drafted guys with less than first-round talent for a long time in the first round.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 14, 2010 -> 06:10 PM) Money is a big part of it, especially if its the White Sox and not the Yankees or Boston. Quentin made $3.2 million this year, and a lot of this board hated him. They want him gone. Dunn gives you a little bit more than Quentin did this year. About 10 more homers, about .050 in OBP, he hit about .020 better and about 100 more strikeouts. As much as several here say they would love him, he would be quickly turned on, especially considering the kind of money he's going to make. Thome hit a lot of homers with the Sox, yet people were doing cartwheels when he left. Dunn offensively isn't too much different from what Thome gave you with the Sox his last 3 seasons. Edwin Jackson, pro-rated, had the best numbers of any Sox pitcher, yet people around here are crying about his $8.5 million price tag. Two things: 1.) You're making it seem like everyone wanted Thome gone. 2.) Why do you keep using the morons who wanted Thome gone as the basis for why we shouldn't get Dunn?

I'm so glad betting doesn't interest me at all. I know quite a few people that have to bet on everything, and I have no idea how they can do it. I feel like I'd be on edge all of the time.
