Milkman delivers

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 10:41 PM) Bengie Molina hit for the cycle. I gotta see that triple. He was also pulled after that with a tight quad. That...might be the most unlikely event that has ever happened in baseball. It surely has to be top 10, and the most unlikely cycle ever.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 07:50 PM) Bill Pullman is awesome. Best president in movie history. If you don't get shivers from this, then you're not human: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 07:22 PM) Give it a rest! We all know READY TO RUMBLE is your favorite movie. I actually really like Lake Placid. It's one of those movies that knows it's bad and has fun with it. It has a great cast, too, with Oliver Platt, Brendan Gleeson, Betty White, Bill Pullman (who I like, but feel like I should hate), and that hot deputy with the nice rack.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 06:48 PM) Oliver Platt always entertains me. An under-rated favorite of mine. I'm waiting for the joke, critic. This isn't like you.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) And that he completely avoided discussing Quentin's defense last night That's what he does. He makes points, they're refuted, and he ignores them entirely only to make the same points later on in a different thread.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 10:30 AM) If MB pitches another decade or so at this pace (or until he's 40-ish), gets another few trophies of one kind or another (GG, WS, All Star), he's got a good shot. If he adds a Cy Young somewhere in there, he's probably going to make it. But anything less than that, he's a long shot at best. With that play on opening day, plus the fact that Gold Gloves are automatic once you get your first, I'm sure he's a shoo-in for this year's award.

I actually watched Bull Durham for the first time last night. I really enjoyed it, but a lot of people list it as their #1 baseball (or even sports) movie of all time, and I just don't agree with that. Although, I do like how they got into the superstitious aspect of the game.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 10:52 PM) Only beef I have is Danks runs should be unearned. Other than that, outstanding win. Go get em tomorrow Gavin! Agreed. I had to turn the game off for two innings, though, after Danks gave up the first two runs. It was obvious that he would give up a good deal more, and I just couldn't listen to Hawk keep harping on the outfield play. I just can't stand him sometimes. Other than that inning, this was a really great game and it's always good to beat the Twins in the opening game of the second half.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) If thats real and that guy is still alive with all limbs intact, he is awesome. Are you serious?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) He was up for the award, but R. Rondo won. They showed footage of the perfect game as well. What was his play? I can hardly even imagine a basketball play being above Buehrle's.

Saw The Ice Harvest last night. I really liked it. Not sure why, but I like Oliver Platt. Combining him with Billy Bob Thornton, Mike Starr, and Randy Quiad really covered up my dislike for John Cusack.

QUOTE (AJUribe @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) men who stare at goats sucked, i had high expectations after seeing burn after reading (one of the best ive seen in the passed few years) just rented the good sheperd looks pretty cool. That's the exact opposite of what I thought. I liked The Men Who Stare at Goats, while I thought Burn After Reading was pretty blah and certainly wasn't funny.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) The former. Not but in all seriousness, that was my first cornhole experience at a tailgate and I absolutely sucked at it. He was actually pretty decent IIRC. So, you're saying that he's very good at cornholing? And since you were so bad, would you say that he really gave it to you?

It sucked to see Thornton cough up the lead, but I'm sort of glad that he didn't allow the hit to Byrd.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) It has been said pretty clearly that the Ritchie thing was done pretty much by Schuler. It's been said thousands on times on this site alone. I think it's pretty fair to say that it will never actually sink in.

QUOTE (asmithxc @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 06:41 PM) Like you said, he didn't really give anything up for any of those guys. The worst trade was probably the Todd Ritchie one since Ritchie was incredibly bad and Josh Fogg and Kip Wells were at least serviceable (Wells had a couple of nice years at least). Whether through luck, skill, or some combination, Kenny has generally done a tremendous job of not giving up players that developed into guys we wish we hadn't given up. And Fogg was the giant killer for the Rockies during that ridiculous stretch they had in 2007. If I recall correctly, he was constantly being matched up with a bunch of aces and continually came out on top.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:56 PM) Rock, You are really on fire right now. And I agree that needles are what turns people off on Heroin. It's HEROIN! That's what turns me off.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) Qwerty, I just watched A Man for All Seasons. It was great, and I really like Robert Shaw as Henry VIII. And I just watched Becket. It's amazing how many times Peter O'Toole has been nominated, and lost, at the Academy Awards. The job he did in this movie was one of the best I've ever seen. I liked Becket more than A Man for All Seasons.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:33 PM) well, mushrooms grown in s*** doesnt stop me, so probably that wouldnt bother me either. That's sort of what I'm saying. If someone is willing to do heroin, they probably don't care where it comes from.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) A must-see (dunno if it was mentioned) is Drugs, Inc on National Geographic. The Heroin one that debuted last night was ridiculous, about half of it was dedicated to Heroin in Chicago. The Cocaine episode showed quite a bit of Chicago as well, good stuff. I don't think anyone would want to try Heroin after they see how it is made in Afghanistan Something about this makes me smile.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 10:33 PM) I thought someone said he worked for the Jays front office during the Sirotka/Wells deal. Now that makes sense.

Qwerty, I just watched A Man for All Seasons. It was great, and I really like Robert Shaw as Henry VIII.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 07:16 PM) the entire movie had what seemed to be a light snow falling everywhere, which added a very cool element to the picture. I thought that the 3D was used very often, it was just subtle Like those fuzzy things in Avatar?

Does anyone know why Keith Law hates the Sox?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 01:53 PM) I'd still like to see a Stone Pony/DJ pairing some day. Agreed. Did they rank Morgan and Miller? Is there a worse place than last?
