QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 9, 2012 -> 08:33 AM) John Smoltz. Its not curious at all. The White Sox want Sale to be a starter, but more importantly, they want him to pitch for them. They have the information, despite what some think, this isn't Ventura, or Cooper or even KW, just coming up with the idea. I'm sure there were plenty of meetings. He's an important part of the team moving forward. I rip the Sox as much as anyone. But sometimes ripping things make no sense considering they have ALL the information and we really have NONE. No. He had tommy john in 2000, and went to relief afterwards. His arm wasnt saved by going to relief, they chose to make him a reliever after his arm was damaged. Plus, in 2008 they moved him back to relief, and shortly after his shoulder blew up. Not the same situation at all.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2012 -> 07:58 AM) Yes, one could describe it as gutty and playing hurt when he should have been out for 3 weeks. Im done giving him the hurt arm reasoning/excuse. CJ has had plenty of pretty good games since he hurt his elbow, he has totally collapsed in the playoffs.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 9, 2012 -> 08:22 AM) Its pretty obvious that despite the White Sox having better access to all the information regarding Sale, Soxtalk posters have a much better handle of what is really going on, and a much better plan going forward. The Sox are just idiots. No wonder there is zero chance this team competes for years. DA even you have to admit that this move was curious at best. When has a team ever moved a pitcher from starter to relief(closer, no less) as a result of a tender elbow? And when has that moved worked for the better? It just doesnt make sense, I dont see how one role is better than the other. One is stress on the arm for a long period of time(6-8 innings), the other is high stress on the arm in short doses, more frequently. I just dont see how that is expected to cure this tender elbow.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2012 -> 08:01 AM) Only 33? Is that a Hawkism from the 80s? nah, that was a hawkism coming from myself

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2012 -> 07:45 AM) If Fukudome wanted to earn a starting job, he shouldn't have stunk with the Indians last year, and he should have been ready to really step up and contribute in the shots he's gotten this year rather than hitting .176 out of the gate. [southern accent]Balta, that is the hardest .176 batting average I have seen in my 33 years of baseball [/hawkism]

what does Fukudome think about Castro? I dont read Japanese

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 8, 2012 -> 06:43 PM) If they are doing the New52s as the basis for the movies, they'll be set. But I don't know how the public would react to new interpretations of such iconic characters. As for Flash, I don't dislike him, it's just for being one of the big gun, he's kind of lame. He moves fast. Quicksilver on his own would be hella lame, but he's generally part of a team. I'm not gonna argue about it anymore, I just think you are selling him short. His speed allows him to do a lot of crazy things

If DC ever wants to make a series of movies that will approach what Nolan's Batman movies are at, they will make The Death of Superman.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2012 -> 06:00 PM) (Tell me if I'm wrong)....isn't it true that the "Movie" version of Superman, the one I'm used to, is quite a bit more powerful and much closer to invincible than the comic book Superman? It depends on the timeframe, but for the most part yes. Superman has kind of evolved in different ways. After the death of Superman storyline, his powers varied for a little while, even to the point where he became a being of pure energy. From what I have read about the upcoming movie, it is mostly based on the new 52 Superman mythos, and Superman is a lot more vulnerable than we will expect. And with General Zod, Ursa and Non as his adversaries, there are 3 other beings with the exact same powers he has.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 8, 2012 -> 05:27 PM) Yeah, and Quicksilver sure as hell ain't getting a stand alone movie (I hope). He is rumored for Avengers 2 (along with Scarlet Witch) and him and Flash would make good supporting characters (Especially Quicksilver, considering his being a villain, then hero thing) but stand alones for Flash or Quicksilver are bad ideas. I know about the New 52s, but DC has an issue if they made movies based off those instead. Everyone knows the classic versions of the heroes, the unwavering pillars of perfection. A movie that has Superman not invincible? I just can't see it going over well. DC is trying to reboot and compete. If all of your characters are invincibile and infallible, then you arent really setting yourself up in the movie market. There are plenty of Superman stories that have pushed him to the very edge, Brainiac, Doomsday, the Prime storyline. There is a lot they can do with him. Flash has a pretty long and distinguished history as well, I dont know why you dont like him so much, but he has a pretty large following. I agree that Marvel is way better off, but DC could make things interesting if they tried to do it right

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2012 -> 01:47 PM) We could just send him to Toronto after he fails in Chicago and hope that they pick up most of the bill. AA ftw

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 8, 2012 -> 01:24 PM) Your first mistake is in assuming there has to be a point in all of this. The point of living is quite simple...to live, nothing more. No, you don't just die and bam, that's it...your energy is returned to the Universe -- to the stars -- from whence it came. God exists depending on what you view as "God". For example, I consider God to be the prime mover. Whatever occurred that created the universe, be it a big bang or otherwise, THAT event, in and of itself, represents God to me. I don't, however, consider it a floating guy in the sky surrounded by angels playing harps. dont break greg please. He is on loan from KC, we have to return him sometime, all pieces need to be in place.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) what about the baby pills? I think the baby pills and the "mom brings home the placenta and eats it" situations are vastly different. The mother eating the placenta is not an extremely common occurence, but it does happen and as has been explained earlier there is a nutritional reason for it. The baby pills is horrible people doing horrible things and should be stopped at all costs.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 8, 2012 -> 06:35 AM) Blame the pitching coach. Dick, Caulfield, could you play this game elsewhere? Coop and Walker all have their positives and negatives, Walker moved on and it was best for both parties. Coop has his failures as well Thornton has been hittable all season long, last night was no different. I blame him fully for serving up that pitch that Duncan drilled past Fukudome

Dave Duncan who?

QUOTE (knightni @ May 8, 2012 -> 01:58 AM) Waiting to see if DC tries a Superman reboot, then a Wonder Woman film, leading up to a JLA film. Superman - Batman - Wonder Woman - Aquaman - Green Lantern - Flash Now that might be interesting. Superman reboot comes out next May I think, it was originally supposed to be December but they pushed it back. Wonder Woman is really a hard property to translate, her powers and tricks are really sort of lame. They tried to make a show last year and the pilot was so bad that it never got past that stage. Aquaman is going to be attempted, whether it is a show or a movie, it has been talked about a lot. Green Lantern has to be rebooted already, the Ryan Reynolds movie was a travesty. Flash, I think it could work. Quinarvy, you make fun of Flash as "runs real fast" guy, but Marvel has their own Flash too in Quicksilver. The JLA Movie could happen. DC is rebooting their comics in a "New 52" Format. Superman will not have the invincibility we all know. Each character will have flaws and "real s*** to deal with". It is a response to the Marvel Ultimates. JLA vs Avengers? No. That is not Pacquiao vs Mayweather. That is just a fanboy idea that wont be realized. Marvel and DC did their Amalgam/Combined universe comics a while back, it was a fun read, but nothing worth expanding into a full fledged movie.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 7, 2012 -> 04:12 PM) Jane If you rename it anything else and change Frank Castle's name, it is just a revenge movie. Very tame for the Punisher. Ghost Rider was just silly, and it isn't supposed to be silly. It is supposed to be dark and twisted.

motherf***ing K23. what an asshole that guy

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 7, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) How would Jordan Danks look in RF? He would look a lot like John Danks in RF. But taller

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 7, 2012 -> 12:51 PM) Judson it is for the Redbirds. sorry

QUOTE (Brian @ May 7, 2012 -> 01:02 PM) I liked the first Punisher Dolph Lundgren? Or Thomas Jane?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2012 -> 01:03 PM) Serious Q: The first Ghost Rider was a commercial flop and someone still funded a 2nd one? Pretty sure it was contractual. edit: Im wrong, the first one did well, despite the Razzie, and becoming quite the rotten tomato "favorite" everything else, all punishers and the second Ghost rider were flops

All versions of the Punisher and Ghost Rider were critical and commercial flops, so I am not sure that is where Marvel wants to set the bar. I would be interested if they could do the prequel of Hawkeye and Black Widow where it is explained exactly how Hawkeye saved her life and a debt was levied

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 7, 2012 -> 09:43 AM) Nah, he turned it down and traded himself to the Knicks for their next ten years worth of draft picks. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Zeke is such a sucker

did John Paxson then take a DNA test and offer himself a 50 year annuity?
