QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) Raising Arizona way way before Face/off. thats why it, and moonstruck were not included. adaptation and bringing out the dead were good post-faceoff movies, but 8mm, snakeeyes, gone in 60 seconds, the wicker man, next,drive angry, season of the witch. yuck

Why does Ozzie motivate opponents more than SOX?
QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 11:31 AM) I don't see how you can be motivated for baseball like that Its not like you can pitch faster.. its not like you can hit the ball further all of the sudden because someone slighted you.. I just don't see the actual game of baseball being one of those bulletin board material games.. Anyone agree with this? Sort of. this sort of dovetails into the discussion of "Clutch" and "Momentum" in sports. These arent quantifiable things, but we all know that players get hot, get into grooves, teams perform better, crazy things happen. Its a hard topic to conclude definitively. We certainly have seen the Twins take the Sox to the woodshed after Sox players have provided bulletin board material. Many times

QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 11:33 AM) Thats no shock at all The dude called it a career in Washington.. hes lazy and just doesn't care Haynesworth doesnt surprise me. Ochocinco does. Both are kind of surprising in that respect that NE gave up draft picks for them, so they(NE) stand to lose more than just the players

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) There's a good level of "disbelief" movie and a bad level of it. For example; Transformers 1: good level. Transformers 2: Bad Level. Sometimes the obscure things, like a guy's accent that just won't go away, can push things from one group to the other. There is a fine line between "whoa" and "cringeworthy", I agree. I havent really appreciated Nic Cages career arc after Face/Off, he pretty much plays the same guy in various different settings. He did sprinkle in a few movies like Matchstick Men and Leaving Las Vegas that I liked, but on the whole I just didnt like his movies like National Treasure, Ghostrider, Knowing, etc. Same with Transformers 2, it was just bad. T3 DOTM, I liked, but there were still a few cringe moments that could have been avoided.

QUOTE (Felix @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) I think Con Air was an awesome movie that owned regardless of any accent. Saying it'd have been entertaining without it is like saying Face/Off would have been a great movie without the ridiculous plotline. Both of those movies were ridiculously entertaining movies just the way they were. Basically, if you don't have fun/enjoy Con Air, then you're watching it wrong. agreed. Bloodsport, Cobra, Any Chuck Norris movie, Face/off, The Rock, Con-Air, all of those movies are meant to be watched with suspended disbelief and a smile. Pretty much the same way I watched Transformers

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 06:59 AM) Has there been a dumber thread than this? This is a waste of space, it's not like rios was the only one that sucked last night..... useless discussion. Yeah Rios has sucked, it's been said 100000000 of times.WE KNOW yet, you responded 4 times in this thread. Have you ever read the term "Ignore the troll"? Im not saying Soxfan72 is a troll, but if you dont like a topic and feel it is a waste of space, then why continue to try and force the point? Just like you said, WE KNOW- The Toronto Cheat Jays?
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 05:17 AM) Jays Unlikely To Sign First Rounder Beede? By Dan Mennella [August 11 at 8:22pm CST] It's "nearly certain" that the Blue Jays will not sign first rounder Tyler Beede, a right-handed high school pitcher out of Massachussets and the 21st overall pick, who will instead honor his commitment to Vanderbilt, a source tells Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com. Beede was expected to be a tough sign, according to Mayo, and was considered an aggressive selection at No. 21 overall. If the Jays do not sign Beede, he would not be eligible for the draft again till 2014, and Toronto would receive a compensation selection in next year's draft, the 22nd overall pick. A source tells Jim Callis of Baseball America that the situation is "not that dire" (Twitter link), while Keith Law of ESPN.com wonders (via Twitter) whether this is a ploy by Toronto to thwart an MLB investigation, as the Jays were suspected of having an illegal pre-draft agreement in place with Beede. This is impossible. The best GM in the known history of the entire universe would never be involved in such a practice- A response II.....
espys thoughts are much clearer on twitter. weird- Sox vs. Royals

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 08:11 PM) Yeah, anything getting inside you and eating you from the inside out is creepier than s***. guinea worms are another one of the parasites that terrify me- What bugs/creatures/whatever freak you out?
my wife told me a horror story of one of the former managers at her restaurant getting one of those malicious parasites in her bloodstream from getting a cut while washing a dish. Within 3 hours the parasite had already taken a hold and was eating her skin from the inside out. 8 months after she came out of the hospital, my wife said her skin looked transparent on her arm up to her shoulder and you could see the muscle underneath. The doctors said if it wouldnt have mattered even if she washed it immediately and applied some sort of alcohol based substance on the wound, it was just random chance that something was in the water. So yea, that scares the s*** out of me too- 2011 Films Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 09:28 AM) Speaking of badass... I watched "Predators" last night. I loved, loved, loved the 1987 film... but everything involving "Predators" since has been a disappointment to me. No more. Robert Rodriguez knocked it out of the park and I wish I'd seen this one in the theater! Predators was pretty awesome. I loved the tie-ins to the original. I was kind of bummed that Danny Trejo was the first to go though- The Toronto Cheat Jays?
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 11:37 AM) Remember the "Houston we have a problem" signs Sox fans were sporting during the World Series? I seriously wanted to hurt myself. Posts like this make me seriously question how much of a White Sox fan you are J4L. And it takes a lot for me to say something like that to you, but I have never seen a fan s*** on the organization that he/she is supposed to enjoy as much as you have this season.- What bugs/creatures/whatever freak you out?

Ticks and leeches freak me out. Mostly ticks, you usually cant feel them until they already are doing their damage. Chiggers/No see-ums are pretty irritating and annoying too- Time to dump Thornton at waiver deadline
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) But wouldn't we have said the same thing about Linebrink back in 2008. Crain has had a really good two year run...better than he's ever been before. But I still don't think we need both Crain AND Frasor. It's a luxury we probably won't be able to afford unless we win the division this year. Sure, I'd keep both of them and get rid of Wil Ohman. You'd rather have 2 quality relievers than 5-6 Ohmans paid half that amount. Yes I would have. Crain has had a far longer record of success, and Linebrink was up and down before the Sox signed him. Crain is affordable and the Sox like him. YOU may not like him, but I wouldnt set your heart on watching him walk out the door, because it is pretty unlikely, at least for this year and next.- Time to dump Thornton at waiver deadline
Caulfield, I think you need to accept the fact that Crain is not going anywhere. - Rios strands 6 baserunners!
