Milkman delivers

I've actually known about this for months. You should've just asked, SHIPPS.

This thread can be the official destination for anyone wanting to vent about a defensive play that likely would've been made by Anderson. That inside-the-parker could go either way, but it is surely not going to be the last questionable defensive play.

Has a reporter ever asked Ozzie in a postgame interview why he dislikes Anderson?

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 07:28 PM) oh, ok. I don't expect you to understand, as many people on this site have a little more "diverse" taste in music than I do. Some people want to see little-known bands because they've followed them for a while or whatever. I'd see these other bands IF they were just opening for a band I actually like, but that is no longer the case. I believe most people in general feel the same way I do. The people that discuss music on Soxtalk seem to be (and I only use this term because I can't really think of another word for it) more along the lines of music snobs. I don't mean to start an argument with anyone, but I wanted to vent.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 07:22 PM) How do you come up with that 50% estimate?? Because I have never heard of anyone saying "I can't wait for the ____ concert" when referring to the other bands that day. The closest is Tool, and that is a completely different demographic. I thought I was being conservative with that estimate.

I bought three tickets for Lollapalooza on August 8. The sole reason my friends and I wanted to go was to see the Beastie Boys. Now, I'm clearly not mad at the band, but I am pissed. I called to ask about a refund, knowing full well what their response would be, and it's exactly what I got. There are no refunds because festival lineups are subject to change. I read that the guy who runs the agency that runs Lollapalooza said something along the lines of "we haven't received any requests for refunds because people go to this event for the overall event." That is bulls*** and anyone would be stupid to believe that to be the case. I would estimate that at least 50% of the people who purchased tickets for that day did so in order to see the Beastie Boys. They are now searching for a band that could be a suitable replacement. I'm going to end up stuck with tickets to a s***ty lineup headlined by some s*** like DMB.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 03:05 PM) Glad to see Q! back not happy to see wise still around. one game makes the difference in this division and wise isn't a difference maker on either side of the lines. Say that when he misplays a key play in the 8th or 9th inning of an important game in September.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 03:01 PM) I guess Ive never seen why Anderson has gotten so much love on this board. He had opportunities, Im not about to cry over a player who hit .200 so far in July. Sure he may be a better defender than Wise, but its not such a disservice that it deserves this much attention. Anderson had a chance to earn his role, he didnt. That leaves it up to the manager to decide, and Ozzie made his choice. You must be talking about Wise, as he is the player batting almost .200 so far in July. Almost is the key word there, as he isn't even batting .200 (he's at .196). Anderson is batting .238, which really isn't even that close to .200. I guess Joe Mauer is only batting .300 this year so far.

Obviously Wise hit his single homer of the year at the perfect time. And to those who keep saying that it doesn't matter, as it's just the 4th outfielder, remember that this division is extremely tight. The season may be decided by a single game. We need to be able to put a good defender out there to help keep a lead. Anderson isn't a good player overall, but he's a damn good defender. Dewayne Wise does absolutely nothing.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 02:10 PM) Wise? Anderson? What's the diff if Quentin, Podsednik, and Dye are playing everyday? Not really a big story here, in my opinion. Defense for late in games when we need a competent defender in the outfield. Remember that time that Floyd had a no-hitter, but it was screwed up because a great defender sat on the bench for no good reason? Expect plenty of crappy defense out there late in games.

Wow, this is some bulls***. QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 02:07 PM) Q will probably platoon with Wise so expect to see Wise get the majority of playing time.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 10:20 PM) I was going to say Santana with out looking at any stats, so glad to see that the stats back that up. Awesome to see Mark in the top 10 there as well. If any of you stat guys have some time I'd be interested to see where Buehrle ranks since he came into the league overall. Johan Santana has been the best pitcher in baseball for years, and almost nobody ever seems to actually want to admit that.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 01:14 PM) Not saying these are the best quality movies. Just have a great repeat value. Vision Quest. Starship Troopers Highlander Every which way but loose and every which way you can. Unforgiven Goodfellas Casino Full Metal Jacket Blackhawk Down The final scene of Unforgiven is probably the best scene ever.

Kyyle, JPN, and BigSqwert suck. That is all. Brian, you are cool.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 01:05 AM) This is a big day for us. We've finally all reached a consensus on the suckitude of Wise. He's so bad of a player, that we can only create words to describe his performance. Scrumtralescent? And in regards to Wise, clearly he is one of the worst players in the majors. It seems we have at least one guy a year that fits that description and receives way too much playing time.

QUOTE (SuperSteve @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 12:05 AM) "The Milkman" Herbert Perry was my favorite. I laugh everytime I hear Kung Fu Panda and I can't think of any better. *pistol wink*

Oh wow, that is a terrifying move. It falls almost entirely on the guy receiving it to position himself correctly. Hehe, that last sentence is funny.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 10:19 AM) I wanted to post before I even read this thread. I fully expect Forrest Gump to appear in at least half of the respondents' posts. As for me, Forrest Gump. Wow, only mentioned twice. And that includes my post.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 17, 2009 -> 05:54 AM) "Sudden" Sam McDowell, Juan "The Dominican Dandy" Marichal, Stan "The Man" Musial, Willie "The Say Hey Kid" Mays, Willie "Pops" Stargell, Leo "The Lip" Durocher, "Joltin'" Joe DiMaggio .... baseball used to be a gold mine for great nicknames. Sadly, it's a tradition that has gone by the wayside. All I can think of at this moment for current players is "Big Pappi". Now you just take the first letter of the person's first name and stick the first syllable of their last name on it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 16, 2009 -> 11:31 AM) I think they were referring to "seeing it on tv", because I guess they thought you meant Comedy Central or something. I presume you meant HBO, STARZ, or Showtime. Ah, that makes sense. You are correct. JPN, I like what I have seen of him so far in movies, but I never watched his show. EDIT: It just seems that he is the same character, with minor differences from one character to the next, in his own movies/shows.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 16, 2009 -> 12:30 AM) Yeah, I doubt it. Doubt what?

I'm pretty sure I won't see Bruno unless I catch it on TV some time. It looks like a slightly different version of Borat. The Onion summed it up perfectly for me. "Oh, that Sacha Baron Cohen. He's totally unpredictable. You never know what to expect from him unless you've seen all his other work."

I used to collect movies, but Netflix has made that useless. Now I sort of collect electronic things, mostly just random things that catch my attention.
