Milkman delivers

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 05:32 PM) Is there some reason people keeping referring to me? Its pretty annoying, especially when the statements are not even close to true. In my opinion, most people did not care to really discuss what was going on, which was evidenced by my posts in November and my increasing frustration with the seeming lack of interest in who else committed crimes. Bottom line, believe whatever you want, Ive read all 68 pages numerous times, and its pretty clear that only a few people really cared to look further into this.If you think you were one of them, great, double thumbs up. I really dont care, the only reason I started posting in this thread was because people did not really understand what the Grand Jury Indictment was. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 05:05 PM) You and badger are pulling the same s***, making up the argument that people don't believe that others are also at fault and deserve to be shunned/jailed. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 12:06 PM) No Steve, lets set the record straight. While you were busy believing that Paterno was the most powerful man in Pennsylvania and that it was all Paterno, I was the only one saying that there was no way it was just Paterno, and that Paterno was being used as a scapegoat to cover up for more powerful people. Lets start at the beginning, in early November, I was already saying that it was Penn State, not Paterno.

Kind of funny that the best movie in each trilogy is the one where the bad guys come out on top.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 05:06 PM) Revenge of the Sith Attack of the Clones The Phantom Menace I personally think 2 and 3 receive a lot of unnecessary heat because of the Jar Jar issue in 1. I can't remember almost anything from Attack Of The Clones, which might be why I view it so low. Now I think I'm going to rent these movies.

I didn't see much wrong with what Ozzie had to say in that article. Surprisingly classy.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 04:06 PM) He doesn't deserve a pass and I never said that. But that isn't how you like to discuss stuff. You like to twist s*** and make up stuff. I have consistently said that others DESERVE MORE OF THE BLAME. And those individuals that were eyewitnesses and ear witnesses to the abuse have received far less of the public scorn and attacks than Paterno. That seems lopsided. Where have I ever said he deserves a pass? But you will make up statements like that. So why do you think his wife should be given a pass even though she was home when the abuse happened and heard it? Why do you think the eye witnesses deserve a pass? You and badger are pulling the same s***, making up the argument that people don't believe that others are also at fault and deserve to be shunned/jailed.

How would people rank the prequels? I honestly can't definitively make a list, as they were all sub-par at the very best, but I'd say: Revenge Of The Sith The Phantom Menace Attack Of The Clones I haven't seen any of them all the way through in years, though, so I might need to update that if I see them again.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) Darth Maul fights Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Darth Sidious/Palpatine is the Phantom Menace That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure what you were trying to say at first.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 12:00 PM) it's Maul who's in the fight scene, not Sidious, who is "The Phantom Menace". Yes the movie wasn't that great but I still enjoy seeing a SW film in the theater so I will go see this, in part to support the rest of the films being released in 3-D for the next 5 years. Which one are you saying is the phantom menace? You phrased it awkwardly.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 09:55 AM) Of? Preposition

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 10:24 AM) So in the interest of correcting and balancing an incorrect portrait of Paterno as a saint, we should also paint an equally incorrect portrait of Paterno as the devil himself? I am certain the people who were eye witnesses or who actually abused kids are happy for the sideshow. Holy s***, guy. Does your contrarian facade know no end?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 07:29 AM) According to Baseball Reference, Ruth had 113 sacrifice hits. In 1930, he led the league with 49 homers, a 1.225 OPS, and was 5th with 21 sacrifices. That's helpful, thanks.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 07:23 AM) He most definitely had bunt singles in his career. Ruth was faster than one would think. He stole home (I think) 10 times. Granted that those were mainly on double steals, it's still impressive. How about double plays he started from the outfield? Is that out there?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 06:28 AM) Dunn. Rios. Peavy. His blindness to logic is comical, isn't it?

I'm hardly a comic fan, but I can't see anybody choosing anything but First Class and X2 as the best ones either way.

Is there a way to figure out how many bunt singles Babe Ruth had in his career? I had a guy ask me, and I have no idea how I'd find that.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 01:31 PM) Fantastic D? But I agree, that's amazing. But also, these rankings mean s***. Staggering as in, I can't believe there are 3 worse 2B's in the division.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 05:45 PM) 1.) I like that post a lot, but I just don't understand why Peavy, Rios, Dunn aren't enough reasons to bury Kenny. Having those guys cost me my favorite player in Mark. I will say this. The booing will start on Opening Day this year and The Cell will be a very very negative place to be with all 3 of those guys getting booed big time all year IMO unless they produce. It will be such a negative place to be. 2.) I love that post. Post of the new year. A lot of Sox fans were against the Dunn signing. My dad was furious. Said Dunn would be a bust. I trusted the folks on here who were so excited and figured it'd be nice to have an automatic 40 homer guy to go with Paulie. Your dad must either be about 33 or 97.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 06:19 PM) Sorry you liked it, I thought it was terrible. Walk the Line was good, so was 3:10 to Yuma, I thought Kate and leopold was awful, Cop Land was meh. Hopefully he surprises me and it is good, I certainly don't want it to suck. I love three of those movies (Kate And Leopold obviously being the one I don't).

The fact that Beckham is the second-best 2B in the division is STAGGERING.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 01:00 PM) Kevin_Goldstein Kevin Goldstein The Dodgers have signed LHP Andy Sisco, who remains 6-foot-10 and left-handed. Haha.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 08:38 AM) Oh..............s-m-r-t Again, great reference.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 09:37 AM) Was oldsox the one who called him an NL-only hitter? I believe that was Whitesoxrandy.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 09:26 AM) Baloney! No one else ever paid that much for that long to a DH, who was/is overweight, slow, can't play defense. Not to mention the #1 draft choice that we surrendered. When the deal with Dunn was made, there was much more that could go wrong than could go right, and it happened. Defending Kenny on this move is ridiculous. All of this is pretty ridiculous and revisionist, but the bold part is definitely the dumbest.

The Walking Dead starts this Sunday. That really snuck up on me. It has a lot of room for improvement.
