Milkman delivers

With all of these injuries to other teams, we can really make a statement with this series against the Twins. It's starting to look like there are only two other teams that can take this division, the Indians and the Twins. The Indians' chances are fading quickly, and we can really put the Twins in a bad spot this weekend.

I really dislike the commercial for Proactive (I think that's what it is). It's the acne cream stuff. The part that annoys me is the guy who says something along the lines of "you put it on at night and when you wake up in the morning, you don't have acne...that's a good feeling." I cannot stand the sound of that guy's voice, especially when he says that it's a good feeling. I wanna punch that guy.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 02:54 AM) I watched Ravenous earlier today (and it's coicidentally on IFC in half an hour). Great film for anyone who enjoys a blend of horror and black comedy. I actually own that movie. Don't ask me why.

Is there a video of Alexei's play?

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 07:40 PM) HAHAHAH at Guillen looking like an idiot. It's going to be great during the pregame interviews when reporters ask him about these drastic lineup changes. Get into chat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 06:57 PM) Actually, it appears there was a change made. They moved Dye down in the order. So, it was (basically) all talk? I'm sure we're all very surprised, ha.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) Iron Man was f***ing awesome. I couldn't believe that was Jeff Daniels in that movie. The whole sequence with him putting together the suit with the 3-D virtual design really made me appreciate the guys who have to do the special effects. I was dragged to Sex and the City last night, and it was absolutely brutal. I never watched the show, but knew the premise and didn't laugh once. It was so long and even my girlfriend admitted it was anywhere as good as the TV show. You were right to doubt. It wasn't.

Yeah, Orton is definitely hurt, and I also liked that skit with Adamle. It was a pretty underwhelming PPV. The last match was pretty good, but it was obvious that the wrestlers were setting up traps that would eventually be used against them. I'm sure that Undertaker will also be back in a few months.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 01:44 AM) The records now are whatever you see them to be. Sadly, the chemistry experiment owns both records in MLB's book due to Selig's cowardly approach to PED's in the 1990's and that can't be changed. However, fans know what truly went down, and the records really are whatever each individual fan sees them as. The sacred status of baseball records is gone for all eternity, as is the fact they were undeniable numbers that stood on their own merit. I don't usually agree with you, but I agree with this, word for word.

I disagree. The record is 73 with people who can't think for themselves. I was excited when Howard approached it recently. To say that Bonds is the owner of the record is just like saying OJ was innocent. It's BS, and everyone knows it.

His SLG is .313...I'm finding it hard to convince myself this guy was clean.

I'm surprised there was no thread, or even mention, of Harvey Korman's death. I wasn't too familiar with his work outside of Mel Brooks movies, but I thought he was great in those. RIP Harvey Korman.

QUOTE (KevinM @ May 31, 2008 -> 01:56 PM) I have no idea what statistics you are looking at. His OPS+ in both 2006 and 2007 were great, but his homers fell off greatly in 2007. His average was never that good. So, you can make a case that he's had two great years out of 4 seasons so far, but he's never going to recover this year to put up a decent line. It's just too far into the season. I see no consistency with this guy, as he's relatively young, so I ask why we should believe that he's going to pull out of this? Then, consider that his best year was in 2006, and he's gotten worse and worse since then. In this year alone, he's gotten worse since opening day. He's not like the other guys that are struggling in the lineup. Thome and Konerko have put up big numbers for years. OC has heated up, and I figured he would because he's been consistent throughout this career. We're saying that Swisher will also pull out of this because, like the other guys, he should start to get back towards his career numbers. My point is that Swisher hasn't played long enough to see what player he really is. I don't think there's a reason to believe he'll definitely put up numbers like he did in 2006, and to a lesser extent, 2007.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:46 AM) Completely agree. He's only had one really good year. What historical stats can we pull from 3 full seasons in the league? He's not a proven vet, he's a young guy who's had one very good year. Why does he get to keep starting?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:37 AM) With Swisher's historical stats, I think its a mistake to outright bench him. Plus, he won't get better playing only twice a week. Just play Anderson once a series, at least for now. He definitely needs to be benched. He's gotten WORSE as the season's progressed. He's lost, and now I'm honestly starting to think he was a steroid product. It's too bad that he's such a face of the team. That will definitely be a factor in him NOT being benched.

Swisher is as bad as Anderson ever was in the majors. I do not understand why he's still starting. He's a dog. Bench his worthless ass.

So, we'll replace better offense (Ramirez) for supposedly better defense (Uribe) at 2B, but we won't swap Anderson for Swisher? I can't put into words how disappointed I am in Swisher. He f***ing sucks horse balls. Get his ass out of the lineup for a guy who will provide MUCH better defense, and a very similar average. EDIT: Removed a naughty word.

Anderson can put up similar numbers to Swisher, except the OBP, and provide much better defense. Anderson should be starting in CF for a while.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 31, 2008 -> 10:17 AM) I love how they call her an actress. They put it in quotes, though. Off topic, but how do you date a porn star? I can understand just hooking up with one, maybe even on a regular basis, but to call a porn star your girlfriend? That would be demeaning.

Nick Swisher needs to stop sucking at baseball.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 30, 2008 -> 07:15 AM) What did you see/read that makes you think it will blow? An outline of the events of the movie.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 29, 2008 -> 06:48 PM) It's M. Knight. Of course it will suck. It will have some decent images and cool cinematography, but as far as a story teller, he is overrated IMO. Well, I automatically assumed it would suck, but then I watched the trailer that kyyle23 posted. That made it look pretty good. Unfortunately, it looks like s*** again.

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

QUOTE (dasox24 @ May 29, 2008 -> 02:43 PM) Crush (Gina Carano) is ridiculously hot. I've never seen the new "Gladiators," but I saw some show about her that talked about how she's into mixed martial arts, which is pretty badass that she can look that good and be that tough. Oh yeah, and as for the thread topic, I'd never hit a girl. I'd try my best to restrain her somehow. If you hit a girl, you'll never hear the end of it. Untrue. I've seen it happen before, and sometimes the girl has it coming. You definitely hear the end of it.

She punches me once, I push her away hard enough to put space between us. If she comes back and takes another swing, knock her ass out. You wanna be treated equal, that's part of the territory.
