Milkman delivers

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 03:44 PM) I don't care to argue if Bonds record is legitimate or not but the article does a pretty poor job at it. Ruth didn't have control over who played the game it wasn't his rule non-white athletes weren't allowed in the game and Ted Williams didn't choose to setup Fenway Park the way it is and back than F/A wasn't what it was today. Bonds chose to use steroids to give himself an advantage, now I don't know how much they help but still he chose the action and knew it was illegal, something Ruth or Williams weren't guilty of. I'm aware I ended sentences with propositions. No you didn't.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 02:01 PM) I turned the River off 20 minutes into the second hour. The whiny wife and gullible characters just didn't do it for me. Too many clashes and extremes (I HAVE TO FILM THIS or WE CAN'T LEAVE). It also doesn't need to be found footage. It just adds a layer of implausibility while making it hard to watch. They pretty much wrote it like a regular show with flashbacks and everything. It's got to draw the ignorant masses in with the first few episodes. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 03:30 PM) Well his heart won't go on too much longer. Nice.

I think we can all agree that Steve is a jerk, so no need to argue there.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 12:35 PM) I would imagine it's an argument that won't die. Dude. No one ever, not once, said that Joe Paterno was the only part of a possible cover-up. He, however, was a huge part of it and the most influential man on campus. Yup.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 08:39 AM) Aww s***, I forgot since I don't watch much ABC...is it worth DVRing? I see one of the creators is Oren Peli, the guy who did Paranormal Activity. Not sure if I think that is good or bad, honestly. Pretty much what Jenks said. I'd DVR it. That is, unless you have a ton of other stuff you're trying to catch up on.

The way this is unraveling would make for a hell of a movie and/or book. At the very least, a really good episode of Law & Order: SVU. That sounds like a joke, but I'm actually pretty serious.

I'm liking The River so far.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) I can't believe people are dissecting this argument about 50's vs 00's. The main point seemed obvious - the idea that KW needs to make up for a bad DECADE is ridiculous on its face. His decade of baseball resulted in a championship and either 1 or 2 more division wins, depending on how you slice it up, no to mention only one season worse than 4 games under .500. He's had either the best decade for the Sox in 50-60 years, or 90 years. Take whichever you'd like. Point is, KW has had 2-3 bad seasons and some bad trades, not a bad decade. I believe Schueler was the GM in 2000, so you only have division titles in 2005 and 2008. Speaks a lot more to the legacy of mediocrity of the Sox.

Unless Soler signs before Cespedes, he will get more than $20 million.

That seems kind of long, right?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) Wow. That's all I got.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 10:30 AM) Ozzie was loud. What a leader! I like the Simpsons reference in your signature.

I'd sign in Cincinnati. I think they're poised to take that division.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) What's with all the blind child references? I am not wanting Mark because I am like a 12 year old with a crush on him. He was f***ing good last year. How many quality starts did he have? He also has a style of pitching I think is contagious for our other starters. I AM suggesting he will continue to EXCEL. How many years did Jamie Moyer kick ass? You guys are nuts if you think I got owned in that post. I want Mark for his future contributions not his past. Geez. I'd appreciate the few Greg fans out there to support me on owning him back with my post. Because you lack the basic baseball knowledge or human logic to do it yourself?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 04:31 PM) Greg just got served. It was awesome.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) All those good responses to my post and then this? Some of us think the White Sox owner has a ton of money and if he ever sells the team will make a zillion dollar profit as well. So yes I wanted him to fork over some money to pay Mark. Cheers to the fans who toast the team with their 10 dollar beers. Because that has nothing to do with your initial post. You said that it baffles you why Peavy was kept and Buehrle was allowed to walk. It has been explained to you over and over again why that is the case, and it was done again in this thread. Then you changed the point to be that you don't understand why people care about Reinsdorf's money. And then when it was pointed out that nobody cares about his money but that it is understood why he would make those decisions, you respond with the above drivel. I honestly do believe that you're somewhat slow.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 12:35 PM) Caught Ides of March and Planet of the Apes this weekend. Same review for both - well done, entertaining, but ultimately the ending was unsatisfying. Solid "B." Mind if I ask what you found unsatisfying about the end of Planet of the Apes?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 11:35 PM) I am not the only Sox fan outraged that Mark is gone. You guys sometimes fail to realize some people actually do agree with me on some of these issues. This has nothing to do with anything, greg. God f***ing damn it, are you really this thick?

QUOTE (Andrew @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 09:13 AM) I'll say it - If Konerko's "skills" as a captain are what will make or break Robin as manager, he's in deep s***. +1

Hahaha.

Congratulations.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 06:43 AM) Was hoping for Super Bowl spot. Guess the studio wisely understood that the movie is going to make fat a## bank no matter what. And maybe with the whole terrorist attack at a football stadium, the NFL preferred not to air that during the Super Bowl.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 11:14 PM) I think you guys overvalue money that is not yours. I realize Mark was a free agent. He's a free agent that should have been signed IMO. Poor, poor Jerry. Can't sign a White Sox legend like Mark Buehrle who would have been the 1-2 punch with Peavy the team needs on the mound in trying to beat out Detroit for the division title. He also would have continued to be a nice tutor of Sale. I'm glad an internet message board doesn't frustrate me to the point I'd ever print what you did. You said "]Jesus f***ing christ. You are f***ing ridiculous, you must be smarter than this, I can only hope for your sake." WTF? You need anger management? Just because I don't care about Jerry Reinsdorf's money doesn't mean I don't understand why he does what he does. Talking to you is honestly like talking to a child.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) Should be interesting season having Peavy ready to go from the get-go. It baffles me the Sox would have Mr. Moneybags on the team and let Buehrle go. Peavy's finally ready, now we have no Buehrle to fulfill the long-coveted 1-2 all-star punch. Sale better be good or this team is in a world of hurt starting pitching wise. If Peavy is Verlander this year and Sale is lights out to go with above average Danks and Floyd, we could have a chance at a top five starting rotation in the AL. With veterans Konerko, Dunn, AJ, Lexi and Rios we have some guys who might be extra motivated to go with the younger position players. One thing is for sure. This team is NOT REBUILDING just because Tank and DeAza and Morel and Beckham will be playing. That does not constitute rebuilding with all the veterans we have. WE NEED PEAVY. It has been explained to you 600 times. If it still baffles you, then you're purposely being obtuse.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) My favorites: Fiat Italian woman Doritos dog > cat Bud Light Here Wego dog VW dog/Vader combo They all sucked this year. The best one hardly got a chuckle out of me.
