Milkman delivers

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 08:58 AM) The fad to hate on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is played out. I remember comments that this week's episode wasn't good. How is that possible? It was absolutely hilarious through multiple viewings! Fad, my ass. The first, second, and fourth episodes were not good. It's not a fad to dislike something that isn't good. The third and most recent episodes were good. QUOTE (The Gooch @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 02:08 AM) The preview to next week's Boardwalk Empire looked intense The ending to last night's episode was great, the raid and Nucky subsequently hooking up with Mrs. Schroeder. You could cut that sexual tension with a knife. I knew that had to be coming sooner or later.

I'm fairly certain they introduced that female hispanic cop just to kill her off later in the season.

I watched Misery yesterday. I'm the first to admit that I'm a chauvinist and women acting never seem as good to me as their male counterparts, but Kathy Bates was incredible in it. Also, does Rob Reiner ever make a bad movie?

Big girls need lovin' too.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 15, 2010 -> 08:49 PM) Agreed on the Gemma/Tara spotlight, just not that entertaining to me. The Unser thing could get veryyyy interesting IMO, but was up with the bond hearing (or whatever it's called) getting pushed back, was that a favor Unser did or did it occur somehow else. I don't think they explained it yet. I would have to guess it was Stahl, but not entirely sure.

Jackass 3D was funny as hell, although it is much more graphic in many ways than the rest.

I feel awful for Hudson each time I see somebody say "he was terrible with us," since the guy pitched 3 games. Christ, it was 3 games straight out of the minors. Can somebody post the stats from each of those 3 games?

I don't know about that.

Guys, I thought Iowa was supposed to be the worst?

QUOTE (3E8 @ Oct 14, 2010 -> 08:47 AM) Agree with Md. It was much like his standup, not clever and just going for some cheap laughs Well, I actually enjoyed the couple standups I've seen of him. And I've enjoyed his characters on Grandma's Boy and Reno 911!, but maybe he's only funny in small doses.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) They're rebooting everything - again. Jeez, enough is enough.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 08:22 PM) Rhys Ifans confirmed as the villain The Lizard in the Spiderman reboot What happened to Dylan Baker?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) I don't try to bring it up when possible, but the trade is relevant to everything in this offseason because of the financial standpoint of the organization. Plus, people still don't seem to understand the ramifications of the move, and firmly believe that it must've been right because Kenny made the move. I'm sorry, that's bulls*** and people should get called out for it. It's one thing to have faith in your org's leadership, it's another to not even think of the ramifications. And as usual, I will point out that I wasn't against trading for Jackson, but the price we paid which ended up in this argument. For what it's worth, I completely agree with your side of the argument. The problem is that there are only like four threads in PHT that have had discussions in them since the end of the season, and this argument is making me want to stop reading those last few that exist.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) Exactly. People are forgetting about the log-jam at 1B they have. I don't think Votto is as untradeable as ya'll are making him out to be. They need pitching. Despite all of Quentin's issues this year he did put up 26/87/.342. That .342 is pretty remarkable to me considering the season he had. Replacement level my ass. He's got horseloads of value based on results AND potential still. Ok, so say the Reds wanted to cash in on Votto's year, you think they'd rather want unproven Beckham over Danks/Quentin? They would want somebody to mash in Votto's place; that ain't Beckham. The Reds have to trade somebody to get pitching. Alonso doesn't get you near top flight pitching. Votto gets you anything. So does Danks/Quentin I feel. This won't happen, I realize this, but this is the type of player we should be targeting with a Danks-based package. No, they really won't

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 04:12 PM) Nope, I don't understand the side in which giving up Hudson for Jackson was a good move. Not saying I wouldn't have traded Hudson at all. But for career mediocrity? Failure on KW's part. You don't agree with the logic, but you obviously have to know what the arguments are. They are the same each time, and it just keeps getting stated and stated, over and over, day after day, week after week, etc.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 12:22 PM) Wait what? I'm not seeing what you're trying to point out. Your signature.

I'm so tired of seeing this argument back and forth. Does anyone honestly not understand both sides of this f***ing argument yet? It just ends up being the same things said back and forth, from both sides, in countless threads throughout the site.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) Haven't seen much SOA talk lately, maybe Im missing it somewhere but as usual I have been thoroughly enjoying it. I was getting tired of all of the focus being on Gemma, and they finally got away from that in the last episode. Now it looks like they're going to focus on Tara a lot more, which should also suck and be boring. I guess they have to fill the episodes with something, but they were giving way too much time to Gemma and I'm thinking they'll do it again with Tara. The stuff with Unser now having to do his job, and the little argument Clay had with him for not giving him a warning (when he actually just heard of the raid himself) should make things interesting.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) Anyone catch "Pretend Time"? I missed it and wondered if it was worth checking out. It was truly awful. I didn't crack a smile even once. It's just the first episode, so it may easily get better, but it has a long way to go to even be decent.

Fools, the animal I was speaking of is a spider.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 12:11 PM) I don't see Vizquel even matching his .673 OPS next year, and really think that Morel would be the best choice given cost, youth, and performance. Thanks Vizquel for everything you did and brought but it's time to move on, put Lillibridge or someone of that ilk in that position and save some cash. As well as the Sox played with Vizquel at 3B, he was and is not the answer. You are choice?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 09:27 AM) Yeah no kidding. My reaction to it: "That's absurd."

Argiope bruennichi is what I believe he meant.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) You mean 2001 when KW took over? And yeah, caulfield likes to remind us plenty that we're in the top 5 or so in games won since then. Only numbers that matter for me are 2/10. Our playoff ratio in a division that doesn't feature the Yankees or Red Sox. We win just enough to look good record-wise, but never enough to make the postseason.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 02:48 PM) Exactly. There were not sell outs every night. There were nothing close to $200 million payrolls. Are you talking about the Sox not selling out every night? If so, blame that on the team. They started off very well in 2006, and I believe the attendance was high while they were hot. Then they fell off of the face of the Earth, and had one of the worst seasons any of us had ever seen in 2007. They successfully killed any of the momentum they built with the World Series.
