Milkman delivers

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 06:25 PM) You didn't like Changeling? Holy crap, how did that happen? Such an excellent excellent film. I really haven't heard of anyone liking that movie, except maybe critics.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 02:23 PM) i agree that he is not a HOF. He did have the one MVP so he gets consideration. Alot of the argurment for him is that he has great HR production for a 2B or was one of the best 2B of his time. The HOF is for the absolute best players, not for the top 10 2B or best 3B. People should not look at his performance compared to other 2B but to the performance of the absolute best players. Performance includes defense as well as offense. Just like with the stats of today, I think there is far too much emphasis on offense and too much comparing by position. The HOF is for the absolute best players not the best of each position. the only question that needs to asked is "is he one of the best PLAYERS of all time not is he one of the best 2B of all time." I will get down from my soapbox now and let the next person take a shot. No it's not. Look at the Hall Of Fame. There's plenty of mediocrity in there. Jeff Kent is a Hall Of Famer.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 08:16 PM) Come on as soon as I saw a preview for Benjamin Button I knew it would be a best picture nominee. Those types of epic, many scenes thru-time pieces always do well in the academy. The reader was awful, though. The Reader or Slumdog Millionaire will take home the award. I've heard The Reader is bad, but it's about the Holocaust, to my knowledge. That alone will buy it a very good chance at the Oscar.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) If all I say is "hey" or "hi" then an almost imperceptible "hi" or even just a nod will do, but when someone completely ignores me and stares straight ahead I want to slap them. Agreed. I also don't like Led Zeppelin.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jan 19, 2009 -> 11:54 AM) To quote Kurt, "amen" Pardon me if I'd like my football to be free of props to Jesus over and over again. You must hate a ton of professional football players.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jan 19, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) A team that used to play at Comiskey is in the Super Bowl, how can you NOT root for them!? Oh wait, Kurt Warner's their QB. Seriously, why would anyone dislike Kurt Warner?

I'm the exact opposite. If I stop using something, I throw it away or give it away.

Um, Cardinals...you aren't the champions of the world yet.

Hahahahahahaha!

This isn't over yet.

Yesssssssssssssssssss.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 05:49 PM) I didn't expect this at all...still hoping AZ gets back on top. I hate the Eagles. This stadium has a reputation for great games. Now the terrible defense of the Cardinals has to just NOT let up a TD. That seems like a lot to ask for right now. Maybe McNabb will just throw in the towel, like he did in the Superbowl.

The Cardinals are a f***in' joke.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 10:35 AM) Saw Revolutionary Road yesterday. Not good. The movie is American Beauty with less interesting characters and worse story telling. Last week I saw Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express. PE was decent, but nothing special. Tropic Thunder was god-awful. About a month ago, I decided I was going to see all of the movies that are getting consideration for Best Picture and Best Actor. The only exception is Revolutionary Road. The preview did absolutely nothing for me, and it looked extremely boring.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 02:08 AM) I worked at a movie theater for 5 years, Northgate on North and 53. I basically saw every movie that came out for those 5 years if we didn't have it we would trade with other theaters and run midnight shows. It's weird when you see that many movies. I've gone into a movie freeze the last 2 years only seeing a few. Milk, you feel that way? I just stopped enjoying movies because you just see everything? Also, watched "Gone Baby Gone" the other night for the first time. Very good acting in that movie. Ben is getting way over knobbed for that movie. I thought the directing was poor. I did enjoy it, except I thought Kasey's characters decision was the easy one to make, so I wasn't torn as other people were. With all that said, good movie, worth watching I haven't gotten tired of seeing movies. Not yet, at least.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 10:36 AM) Either way, it's time and money and stress that I wouldn't want to spend on it. MUCH easier to make a phone call and get it out of my life. One phone call and I can get it out of my life, too.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 10:32 AM) http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/21794 Its funny what people do with so much time on their hands. I have no idea what all of this means, but I would be interested to see what some of the people on this site think about it who are much smarter than myself(Balta Im looking at you) This could be the longest thread in Soxtalk history.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 11:33 PM) Milkman you watch more movies than anyone I have ever known. Have you always been that way? Well, in the past couple of years, as I live very close to two theaters. And in the past month, I've seen even more than normal. And to add on to the list, I just watched The Visitor. Richard Jenkins was great in it, and the movie itself was very good. I love to see character actors really shine in movies when given a lead part (kind of like Forest Whitaker in The Last King Of Scotland). I forgot to mention that I watched In The Valley Of Elah a couple of days ago. A decent movie with sort of a twist ending, and a very good performance from Tommy Lee Jones.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 02:45 PM) Yep, me too. I don't need that kind of trouble in my life. Wouldn't that be entrapment?

I watched The Passion Of The Christ yesterday. I thought it was pretty good. I saw Paul Blart and Defiance today. Paul Blart was decent, but I expected more because I think Kevin James is hilarious. Defiance was definitely worth seeing, and I'll probably buy it when it's on DVD.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) Story said $10K, but that sounds way low for 30lbs. Either way, I'm passing that off for money. I'd even take a decent cut in price, just to make sure it gets done.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 06:36 PM) Wow, that would be interesting. It's like a story out of a movie. On one hand you could be set up for a while, but on the other, some goons may come looking for their s***. How much money would that be?

Nobody loses with dignity anymore. Everyone's always a sore loser.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 10:51 AM) Hot water freezing in mid-air (guessing its Minn. based on the Twins cups). http://www.nmatv.com/video/851/Hot-Water-Freezing-in-Air First of all, that's cool as hell. Secondly, I'm pretty sure the guy said they're in Minnesota at the very beginning.

Our rotation is pretty weak still. This move is pretty meh.
