Peavy Done for Year; Marquez Up
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) I love the idea of Peavy, and I actually love him, but we can replace his 4.70 era. This team has potential. Well, that's not really looking at the big picture. That ERA is coming down, and it coincides with the entire pitching staff heating up.

Peavy Done for Year; Marquez Up
QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:59 PM) Relax, guys. No need to grab a gun. Just wait for a report. We know he has bursitis in the shoulder, but we also know that the earlier MRI showed only that. He likely just worsened that condition and maybe something more. He'll probably 15 day DL + AS Break. Hudson is a helluva replacement. Sox won't miss a beat. I don't share your optimism obviously. We all know Jake Peavy is a competitor. I can't see him just going right out of the game unless he knew something was very wrong.

Peavy Done for Year; Marquez Up
QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:54 PM) It'd be depresing, but honestly, I think we can survive if we acquire a big bat. I don't know about that, especially with the very real possibility of the Twins acquiring Lee. I'd say we need another hitter and a good reliever, but then we'd only be able to make it by the skin of our teeth.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:53 PM) Especially with Clayton Richard pitching so well. I don't think that has any bearing it. The situation feels like a kick in the balls.

Peavy Done for Year; Marquez Up
Allow me to pose this very pessimistic question (I know, surprising): How deflating would it be to lose Peavy for the season after doing so much in the last three weeks to climb right into the thick of things? That's just depressing to even think about.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Insomnia was awesome, although admittedly I'm a sucker for both Al Pacino and Robin Williams. Robin Williams is a great actor overall, but he especially plays an incredible psycho. He was the creepiest thing ever in One Hour Photo.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:28 AM) Ingloriuous Bastards proved that QT still sucks at making movies (Resevoir Dogs being his last good one). Decent idea, style was all over the place, pacing was all over the place, crappy ending, and 30 minutes longer than it needed to be. Just bad. Ha.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 12:11 PM) It is kind of sexist, but I had a guy over selling us windows and my wife wanted some elaborate $15k aluminum siding and decorations, and I was vetoing it because I wanted either a new furnace, new roof, or new HVAC system. The guy said "you know what, you just described 90% of the married couples' houses I go into, the woman wants something that looks nice and the man wants something functional or that will save money" And that's why I say their priorities are f***ed up.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 02:58 AM) I gotta say, I agree that you're different opinion is good for a board. That being said, I agree with both sides. I will never look on Crede, JD, and Pods with disgust because they gave me some of the best memories of my life, but they also all have major flaws in their game (sadly, Crede's was staying healthy) Among other things.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) I came in this thread to b**** but Ace's story definitely tops mine. Holy s***. Anyway, to summarize, yesterday I come home hearing my alarm making a different beeping noise than normal so I figure a fuse blew or something. I go downstairs and the stairwell light doesn't come on, I figure ok I guess it's on the same fuse. But the basement light doesn't come on. And no fuses are blown. I call my wife and ask "are you behind on the bill?" She says yes, I say how much, enough to get it cut off? She says "I don't know." The f*** you mean "I don't know..." so I go to find the last bill and the first one I open is a disconnection notice from May saying it was $699... seriously what the f***. I open the next bill and that one is the recent one that includes June and next month or whatever and it's about $1200 total. Now, really. How is this even possible? She makes more than the total amount of her monthly bills by a fair amount so this shouldn't happen. She says she called and it turns out she missed a payment last year and missed one this year. How in the f*** do you miss an electric bill payment? And not notice, like the balance doesn't carry over from the previous month? So, yeah, I had to pull like $600 out of my ass. Good thing I just got paid. My dad had to take control of all of my family's finances a few years ago. Two of my uncles had to do the same thing with their families. I know it's sexist, but tons of women can't be put in charge of money. Their priorities are all f***ed up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:51 AM) I Redboxed Day Breakers the other day and was pleasantly surprised. I loved the premise of the movie. It definitely was a good premise, but they could have done more with it. Seems like a movie that also could have been a two-part film or a trilogy.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) I remember when the first one came out, and I had no idea what it was.. I was going to go with this girl, but it fell apart.. I am glad that I have never seen any twilight movie, but often think about how I almost willingly went to see the first one because I had no idea what it was.. A little off topic, but one of my girlfriends in college tried to get me to watch the Notebook with her and her roommate. It was a weeknight and didn't have anything else to do, so I figured I might as well. I had every intention in the world of sitting through it. I fell asleep five minutes into it and woke up at the credits. I felt so secure in my manhood that my body instinctually shut down for that movie. Even more off topic, Firefox keeps telling me that "instinctually" is spelled incorrectly even though I've checked the spelling on two other sites to verify its spelling.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) The only movie M. Knight has made that I enjoyed was "Unbreakable". That's the only one, or the last one? I liked The Sixth Sense and Signs, and Unbreakable was pretty good. All of his other movies, though, are utter garbage. I would feel bad for him if he didn't make a ton of money doing it.

"That's a Lance Johnson jump right there" On an 0-2 count, "You gotta cinch it up and hunker down" or "bow your neck." And my all-time favorite: "You coulda hung out all the drawers in door county on that rope." I have never heard that one.

Sorry to hear about that, Ace. I hope he makes a full recovery.
