Milkman delivers

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.

I had hopes for The Happening...until I decided to look into reviews and spoilers that have already come out. It sounds f***ing horrible now, which is what I originally expected.

Did American Idol end? The last I heard, there were two guys with the same name left. But, I haven't seen news about it. I don't ever pay attention to the show, but I usually am aware of who wins because it's all over the place.

OK, so I know what movie it's from, but what is the thing the apes are surrounding?

The "Goobacks" episode of South Park is on right now. It's ridiculous to think of how funny the show was, compared to now. Again, my opinion.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ May 28, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) Well, I for one think it's pretty obvious what it is. I know that's a famous scene from a movie, but what is that? And what movie?

I find this title very misleading. I expected it to be about a pitcher that was struck by lightning while pitching. It's like starting a thread titled "Satellite dish installer killed by lightning," and then have the article say it happened while he was mowing his lawn.

To me, leaving off Banks and Thomas is akin to no professional baseball player ever receiving a 100% vote for the Hall of Fame. It seems like it's just some jerk who's doing it to be a jerk.

I don't feel like reading the article, but does anyone know if that "error" led to a run? If so, he's a douche for getting a run charged to one of his pitchers by crying.

I hope you realized I was being very sarcastic, Bri.

Oh yeah, I'm so surprised that Bagwell did steroids. I can't even emphasize how utterly surprising this is to me. I mean, it's almost as surprising as when I found out that Sammy Sosa did steroids...just complete shock.
