Milkman delivers

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 21, 2010 -> 08:10 PM) Citizen Kane was overrated. Inception > Godfather > Casino Royale > The Dark Knight >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Batman Returns > Citizen Kane. I've never seen Inception (and people making ridiculous statements like this is the reason I'm waiting until it's out on DVD), but that just isn't true.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) Frankly...I'm not sure that's a terrible idea. Maybe he doesn't need to be baby-sitting them when they go out...but taking steps to make sure that they take a cab, like say...making sure they have the numbers of a cab company, making sure to remind them, or possibly even arranging transportation for a group beforehand...might not be terrible plans. Holy s***, dude. They're grown men. You know what else would be a good idea? They should all take a big yellow bus wherever they go outside of games, hold hands while walking through crowds, and have a parent with them at all times to constantly count heads.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2010 -> 07:56 AM) Small but deep puncture wound a couple inches from the heart. A little much to call it impaling, no?

It's almost enough to make me tune in every once in a while.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) Jupiter is visible tonight, and probably tomorrownight, to the left of the moon. You can't miss it, it's really bright like Venus and there's nothing else in the vicinity that's as bright. I went out and looked because I saw your post. Pretty cool, looked like a really bright star.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) I'm sure that Milkman has seen his fair share of cougars. I can never see enough. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 05:28 PM) In recorded history in North America (recorded meaning, like, the past couple hundred years, reliably recorded), there has been either zero or one wolf predations of humans. There was a case in northern Canada some time back, a teenage boy walking home from work at night disappeared. The body was found having been bitten up by wolves, but they don't know if that's what killed him. That's it, ever, on this continent, in modern times. The list of animals more likely to kill you includes raccoons, for example, via rabies. Wolves, as a general rule, don't attack people. I'm sure it will happen some day, but it will be the definition of an aberration. That won't stop some people from wanting to go out and kill all of them, of course. Wow, that is news to me. Cool to know.

I honestly wouldn't mind if they brought Freddy back. He was all you could as for out of the 5th starter slot for the majority of the year. That's probably all we'll need out of him next year with Sale waiting in the wings. Plus, he'll be able to build on the amount of innings he threw this year, as he was hurt and pitched so few innings for the previous couple of years.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 01:57 PM) It's obvious he wants the Florida job and many of you will get your wish for a new manager. It's actually a good way for Ozzie to come back someday. Take another job now, turn Florida into a perennial playoff team, then come back to Chicago again when he needs a dose of hero worship at age 55 or so.. If he stays here much longer he will get fired as all managers are hired to be fired. Only way to come back to Chicago will be to take another job then come back again someday. It'll be tough to come back to the Sox some day if he's fired by the Sox now. He'll enjoy the Florida weather much. It's weird he wants to manage NL type baseball so much since he played for the Sox for so long in the AL. I wonder who gets the Sox job: LaRussa or Torre? The same way he did with the Sox?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 11:39 AM) get used to seeing Coyote in the Chicago area, even the city. They've been adapting quickly here and moving in all over the place. And now, we had our first Wolf sighting in Illinois a few months back, as the packs in Wisconsin continue to thrive and push south. People are already in a panic about coyote in some of the suburbs (with, mostly, no good cause to be), wolves will increase that tension a lot (again, without any good reason, in terms of human safety). I really don't think I'll ever see a coyote where I live. Someone saw a raccoon a few years ago, and it was the talk of the town.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) Would not have seen that one coming. Ha, why's that?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) <!--quoteo(post=2265018:date=Sep 18, 2010 -> 09:50 PM:name=KipWellsFan)-->QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 09:50 PM) <!--quotec-->I don't know bout you guys but I love movie trailers and I didn't think we've ever had a thread like this so I'll start us off. Post your faves yo! I saw the thread title and came here to post Jurassic Park. You bastard, you led with it. That being said, here's a good one. I'm not sure if that's the one, as I keep my work computer muted, but The Departed trailer with Gimme Shelter playing is definitely one of the best ones I've ever seen.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) Apparently, Troy (and Katie) is Sonic and Bob is Quiznos. I think Bob is Bob's Big Boy.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 07:39 PM) First he disses the fans and now he s***s on Nancy Faust. Why do people love this guy so much? He's not even a good manager. Why did he say that? I mean, it's completely unnecessary. It's Faust's appreciation day, and he goes and says something like that?

Just keep losing. If you can't win it, lose as much as possible.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 12:01 PM) This year, the team will apologize to the crowd in unison. Nice. I saw the thread title and came in to post something along those lines, but I can't top that.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 11:26 AM) I will argue this. Manny has given Konerko protection in the lineup. He's been our second most competent hitter over the past 2 weeks. His approach is the 2nd greatest behind Konerko. He has taken walks when the opposition has given them to him. He has gone the opposite way when that's what he's been given. He's struck out, for the most part, at swinging at pitches in his zone. As Ozzie said, you're expecting way too much of Manny. He was never going to be a saviour. In baseball, there is no such thing. Amazing pitchers can only pitch once out of every 5 games. Amazing hitters need other amazing hitters for protection and to drive them in or to give them RBI opportunities. Last, but not least, remember that Manny was injured for a good chunk of the season. He has to get him timing down on those inside pitches. I'm not excusing him from anything, but I'm not going to blindly place the blame on him because he hasn't gone on a Dodger streak yet. He has been the 2nd least of our problems. Sadly, that's basically the reason we picked him up.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 03:07 AM) Sliding is a talent, and if it's his craftiness that has increased his stolen base percentage, than that's to his credit and shouldn't be taken away from him. And, while his OBP is higher due to a career high in his HBP, his BABIP is also 25 points lower than his career average. Some of that is correlated to USCF not being a great park to hit for average, but part of it is attributable to bad luck as well. Juan Pierre isn't a great player, but really, he's been everything the Sox could have asked for and he's been a good player. He'd be better suited hitting 9th than 1st, but he's almost positively going to be worth what the Sox are paying him overall, he's almost certainly going to be worth his salary next season ($5 mill), and he fills a spot in the lineup and brings a different offensive dimension to the club, for whatever that is worth. I think it's more likely that he ends up putting up something closer what he did in his first 2 years in LA next season - .290/.330/.345/.675 with great defense - which will probably end up being worth about 1.5 WAR, give or take based on his defensive performance of course (but it should be good), and he'll be a positive contributing member to the White Sox 2011 team. And I'm not sure any of us have seen enough of his career to know if that's something he's always done, and not just a way to compensate for a loss of speed.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 03:45 AM) Since taking the Cards job in winning seasons: 1996 September: 17-9 1998 September: 18-7 2000 September: 19-9 2001 September: 17-5 2002 September: 21-6 2003 September: 13-13 2004 September: 16-12 2005 September: 13-13 2006 September: 12-16 (there's one fade) 2008 September: 12-13 (there's another) 2009 September: 13-13 Not sure if August counts as the "stretch run" but the August numbers are even more impressive. I don't know how "usually" gets to mean "always" so I guess I'll have to add that to the dictionary, but on winning seasons, in September, he USUALLY gets his team to play .500 or better. (and I don't know how .500 ball in September is a bad thing) Doesn't seem to bother a team who has been to the WS twice in the last decade (won one), a championship series five times and a divisional series seven times. I should tell you off like I did to my boy J4L (in a playful way) but you get no such love.. or respect from me. Another thing to wonder is if the Cardinals had already wrapped up their division by the time September rolled around.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) Or do. whatever.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 08:13 PM) I always say OPS, as in the three letters. Same with OBP, but for SLG, I just say slugging or slugging%. As for the even more advanced stuff, I'll say stuff like UZR, cause that sounds like the three letters stand for something. For things like wOBA and WAR, I say the whole word out. All of this, except I say On Base Percentage (not OBP).

QUOTE (IceCreamPants @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 07:55 AM) Absolutely loved the Town and I really cant even tolerate Affleck as an actor under any circumstance but he pulled this one off pretty well. Favorite scene is when he went into the Florists place after the final s*** went down. Ten years ago I never would believe this, but I'm starting to like Affleck more than Damon.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) Odd, lots of films are made in New Mexico, perhaps the barren landscape can create an equally eerie atmosphere. I'll read some reviews and maybe I'll see this in a year. I imagine I'll just get frustrated though because I get a lot more annoyed with kid actors in English films because I have to pay more attention to their words pitch and delivery. That could be, but the atmosphere from the original movie was, to me, the single most important aspect of it. I love when the setting of a movie becomes a character. I'm not sure if anyone here has seen 30 Days Of Night, but the setting was pretty similar and was probably the biggest reason I enjoyed the movie so much.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a fox, unless they have them in a zoo somewhere and I saw it a long time ago. I have had that reaction to seeing a coyote, though. When I was living in Massachusetts, I was driving down one of those streets with no lighting at night, and running right along the side of my car was a coyote. I had never seen one in person before, but it was definitely not a dog. After looking up more pictures of them and ensuring that they existed in that area (which a friend of mine absolutely would not believe), I was confident that it was a coyote.

I'd have to say my main hobby is doing crossword puzzles. Collecting music (and listening to it, obviously) is another big one. I download just about any song I've ever heard, even if I don't like it. I listen to music all the time...not sure how I could even live without music. I also enjoy doing smaller maintenance work around my house and my parents' house.
