Sons Of Anarchy was exceptionally good tonight. I am finding myself siding more and more with Clay as the season goes forward.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 04:34 PM) When I say top of the totem pole, I mean they work for the top networks or do their work on the prime stage. So they have the best jobs, not that they are necessarily the best at what they do. Why you are bringing up Joe Morgan, I have no idea. At no point has anyone in this thread mentioned he was good at anything. Personally, I find McCarver to be solid. But obviously I am in the minority there. The point I am trying to make is that when you are on a network or in a job that is seen as much as ESPN or Fox during the postseason games, people start making comments and they tend to stick. But far fewer people watch Dan Plesac or Rob Dibble and so they don't immediately say stupid s*** like "So and so can't form a coherent sentence." Wow, you're going to take a jab at me days later? I thought you got it off of your chest and we left it alone like adults. You're a forum moderator.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 08:30 AM) That's fine and all, but they're still wrong. QUOTE (scenario @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 03:01 PM) Every reputable metric? Please list them. UZR for one season? Which means absolutely nothing... andddd... what else? I am rapidly coming to the opinion that Jayson Nix is the new Brian Anderson for Sox fans.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 24, 2009 -> 11:21 AM) Nix is better then Getz on both offense and defense. Getz will hit for a better average, with less power and less of an ability to get on base. Getz was really, below-average last year, but hell he's a grinder so let's give him the benefit of the doubt. The double standard on expectations that some people have between Nix and Getz baffles me. Getz proves himself a hard-nosed player with limited offense and defense skills, and he's our future lead-off man. Nix hits a dozen homeruns, and plays great defense, and he needs to be begging for a job. Apparently the entire organization disagrees with you, along with the vast majority of fans.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 04:40 PM) Everything is always so cut and dry, black and white, and so simple for you. Personally, I am shocked that more people of importance haven't recognized this and asked to you make more of an impact on the world. Honestly, stop and think, for just one second here with me. Joe Girardi has been in baseball for like 40 years, nearly all of his time breathing on this planet. You, on the other hand, have probably been watching baseball for 5 years. And yet, you are the brilliant one and he is the terrible manager. Of course. How could I have suspected otherwise. Wow, I'm not sure what I did to piss you off. Take it down a notch, forum moderator.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 10:44 PM) I am not privy to everything that Swish does in his private life, nor what occurred in our clubhouse last season, but wow, I'm not sure I have ever seen a guy go from generally liked to completely reviled so quickly (and without anyone really knowing what he even did in the first place). He sucked at baseball for the Chicago White Sox. Also, why did Girardi let Swisher bat there? He's been terrible this series, especially with RISP. I'm not sure what their bench was like at the time, but you have to do something there. Girardi's a terrible manager.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 06:46 PM) Oh give me a break. Tim McCarver is an awesome broadcaster. I learn more about how the game is played and why players do what they do on the field while watching games McCarver does than probably every other broadcaster on television other than maybe Steve Stone. The guy has a very solid knowledge of the game, makes very intelligent commentary, and has a very good voice on air. I think he and Buck work very well together. I want to hear some honest criticisms, not this bs crap about him not being able to "piece together a coherent sentence." That is an honest criticism. He blabbers on and doesn't make sense an awful lot. As others have said, he's also wrong quite a bit. If you don't find that to be an honest criticism, it's nothing to cry about.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) What is everyone else's take on the 2009 season Linebrink had and more importantly what the future holds for Liney and the Sox? I'll tell you what the future holds for the Sox. It's two years of waiting for an awful contract to come off of the books.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 04:08 PM) Honestly, who is "good" then? I don't get this. I was thinking about it the other night before this crap with Phillips even came up....why is Tim McCarver "awful"? Why is Steve Phillips? Other than the fact that it makes people feel good or somehow knowledgeable to claim a professional is "awful," what do they say or do that is so bad? And if they are so bad, who is good? I would love to hear... Tim McCarver can't piece together a coherent sentence. That's his problem.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 12:36 PM) I assume it's the coaches decision and since Rampage is in love with Kimbo, there you go. Not to mention, I'm sure Dana would push for it because of the ratings. I honestly don't think Kimbo is going to fight again though, I think they just keep teasing it to keep some extra viewers around. I agree that they're just trying to keep viewers around. Kimbo isn't coming back, IMO. And Rampage is a dick. I don't like him at all after last night's episode.

Van Morrison - Ball And Chain Kris Kross - Jump Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Jackson Browne - Running On Empty George Strait - I'd Like To Have That One Back Cream - White Room The Police - Can't Stand Losing You Joe Walsh - A Life Of Illusion The Traveling Wilburys - Congratulations Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill

I'm glad Ozzie knows who to start. That's Getz.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 03:17 PM) I dont think that makes it any better that the Red Sox are also buying a championship. The Yankees were still attempting to buy a world series in 04 and 07, they just threw their money into a bunch of declining once great baseball players that couldnt get over the hump. I'm not saying it's any better. I just don't like the idea that the Red Sox don't catch s*** for "buying" championships because they do it successfully, while the Yankees catch s*** for failing at it.

I hate when people talk about the Yankees buying the World Series. Yes, they are doing that this year, but I'm pretty sure the Red Sox had the highest payroll ever to win a World Series in 2004. And they had an even higher payroll when they won it in 2007.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) I really enjoyed Adventureland. It had more depth than I expected. Kristen Stewart's character was done very well, too. Not that I care for her as an actress, but how they wrote her was true to life. In the movie, she came on strong to Eisenberg in the beginning, then quickly backed off. When he began seeing Lisa P suddenly she had interest again (ie, "I don't want to lose you"); but her interest wasn't genuine. This was evidenced by her continuing to see Reynolds character. It's a perfect comparison to real life and how some, not all, girls are pulled between emotions. And yes, I was duped by the commercials to believe it was a comedy. With Mottola as writer I almost expected blatant 80's references. You know, the kind written by someone trying too hard to convince us of the time period. For example: "Whoa man, this is the 1980's, look at all the crazy things going on with our hair! This fashion and music will live on forever!" This wasn't an issue. Hm, I had a vague interest in seeing this movie before your post. Now I have no interest in it.

For anyone who watches Dexter,

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) I won a trip to London this past week, I am planning on going for around 2 weeks and catching as much as possible without feeling like I am spending the majority of the time travelling. Anyone ever do this before? I have been to Ireland 3 times so I have some family there and in England that I plan on visiting for a small time. Some other places I have on my list are the Swiss Alps, Amsterdam, Ibiza, Italy amongst others- Anyone have any tips and/or suggestions of where to go in Europe? How much to bring Money wise if we are staying in Hostels? I actually found flights from Dublin to London that are as low as 5 Pounds each! Apparently you were busy while you were there. But sorry, I have never been to Europe and have no suggestions. Just wanted to crack that joke.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) How many attractive women can fall for Shia LeBoeuf? With the money I'm sure he now has, I'd bet a whole f***ing lot.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 11:08 PM) Any Sons of Anarchy fans? I know it's been discussed in the TV threads before. Lots of stuff going down in tonight's episode.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 11:04 PM) Congrats Steve...I have a friend that finished in 4:48. You just had to one-up him, eh? Congratulations, though. I can't even imagine running a marathon.

I wouldn't. I have no faith that he will ever be really healthy.

I'm actually becoming more and more interested in landing Matsui, with Johnson being a distant second.
