QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 09:49 AM) For non pitchers, is it safe to say Rios has one of the top 5 immovable contracts? right now absolutely. Chicago has two of them with Soriano and Rios.

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 08:34 AM) Just a quick question: Could this have waited until an interleague series? doubtful considering he was having problems swinging the bat when the bone chip got lodged in his wrist.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) I really loved hearing Hawk say that, because it is exactly correct. I just wonder if Rios is the guy that needs to be replaced right now. I am still not convinced. As for Hawk and Stone, do you notice how rude Hawk has been to Stone recently? I can recall 3 times now where Hawk has made a statement, such as last evening: "Victor Martinez is probably the best protection Miguel Cabrera has had since he's been in a Tiger uniform, and possibly, since he's been in the Major Leagues." Stone sought to add to Hawk's point by saying "And he's a switch hitter as well." At which point Hawk immediately interrupts him and says "Well THAT'S WHY I SAID HE's THE BEST PROTECTION! Because HE IS a switch hitter." Then Stone just goes silent for about 30 seconds. This has occurred a few other times as well recently, in very similar scenarios, where Hawk makes a bold statement, Stone tries to add to the statement by saying something that is actually factual and important, only to have Hawk then interrupt him and claim the point Stone made is exactly why Hawk said what he did in the first place, which couldn't be further from the truth. Seems like something is going on between them. It wouldnt be the first on-air partner that Hawk had a tiff with. But if Stone leaves because of Hawk, it will gain a hell of a lot more attention than DJ or Wimpy.

Does anyone think that Rios might be the one to lose his job to Lillibridge? It occurred to me last night when I saw Rios hit a lazy weak fly ball to 2nd base when the bases were loaded, and also earlier when he hit what should have been a double play ball to the pitcher with the bases loaded..... He just doesnt look like things are going to get better for him at this point.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) I don't think he was hoping we'd all sign a petition...I think he was bored on a Friday... agreed. hence my bored on a friday response

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) No, he has a point...it's not the message boards...it's sports talk radio, tv, internet, etc. I remember after the Bulls won game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. You think everyone would have learned something from that. i understand the point and agree with it somewhat. my point is opinions are like assholes, people gonna talk, etc. starting a thread to complain how other people think and act isnt going to stop them from thinking and acting that way

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) The interns this summer are just flat out amazing, so much better than last years. I honestly can't pay attention in our intern meetings, especially with this one girl who is just really down to earth and intelligent is has a really nice ass, Im thinking she could be trouble. this is what I read

hackers wouldnt be good hackers if they couldnt cover their trails. a lot of hackers also reside outside of the US, which makes it another federal governments problem. Basically, unless an international internet task force is created and supported by all major governments, these guys will continue to do their thing without getting harassed. The dumb hackers get caught, the smart hackers keep moving

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 11:23 AM) It's over. nuh uh

QUOTE (Bighurt52235 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 11:00 AM) Its becoming so popular to try to declare something as "over" as soon as possible. Both the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals were declared over by many after both Game 1s. What the f*** is the deal with this? Should we play all championships like the Super Bowl? Game 2 was "over" last night. But wait, the Mavs won. How did they win a game that was over with them trailing by 15 points? Can we please have a team win 4 games before a series is over? Also, if we lose 2/3 to Detroit, the season is not over. Cheese and rice. All IMO, of course. Hi. Welcome to a messageboard.

I still love the Discovery Planet Earth movies. Every single one of them

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 07:22 AM) Where you been the last 27 years? pfft less than 5 years ago the first round was only 5 games, Stern changes the playoff format at will

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 09:44 PM) I kept wanting to not enjoy that trailer, but I couldn't help it. The monkeys looked pretty fake at times, though. I think it looks to be a pretty cool take on the franchise. Its hard to film a fake ape, CGI or suit, they never look completely right. Caesar looks a little off, but I think that is part of the point with him, he is completely aware of himself, so he has a little more human in his face. The invasion scene looks pretty cool, lots of carnage

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 01:38 AM) Umm, no. If you're going to put it on one guy (and you shouldn't), it falls on LeBron. He went invisible in the fourth quarter (2 points, no field goals), and stood by as an epic collapse happened. A collapse like that is really a team effort, though. All Miami had to do was luck into a shot or two during the run Dallas went on to tie it, and it would have been enough. They just completely fell asleep. Dallas obviously deserves a ton of credit too though, as they took full advantage. Coach Spo had a rough end of the game too, putting Bosh on Dirk (lol) and running out of timeouts, but that's no surprise. Dallas needs Barea and Peja to wake up if they want any real shot at winning the series, and they're not going to win all 3 in Dallas (and thus, 4 in a row) against this opponent. But they needed a miracle win or two to get this series, and also needed to get something in Miami, and now they've done both. They have to figure out a way to get the majority of the games in Dallas. If they somehow win all three and thus four in a row, it'd be about as shocking as the comeback tonight was IMO, but 2 of 3 is possible if they play really well. Game 3 is unique, I don't think Dallas can win the series, but I think a loss would just about lose it for them. The NBA is going to lose A TON of fans like you (and me) if Miami wins this series. Not to mention what the lockout next season is going to do. They need a miracle series win by Dallas and a miracle agreement on a CBA. In the finals does it change to a 2-3-2 format? I thought it stayed at 2-2-1-1-1

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 12:51 AM) Yuuuuup. Haha. I told her but she said not to worry because the CC company would call her for any suspicious activity, and then low and behold, she got a call that things were purchased on Miami. Not sure if related, but it fit the time frame. that was it. 100 percent

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) lol. I was never worried. Im sure. IIRC it was your moms credit card, not yours, right?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 12:05 PM) PS Store is back! Time to give away my credit card number again!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 12:30 AM) Brand loyalty. Who's jumping ship to a new Nintendo console when they can get the same games on their current consoles? The initial Cafe adopters will be current Wii owners, who probably won't be jumping up and down for the FPSs like Halo or Killzone. Gamers will jump if the game meets expectations. Brand loyalty is as good as the next big hit.

Today in White Sox history the White Sox beat the Red Sox asses for the third straight game, in Boston. The end

So Chyna made a porn for Vivid Video. Then denied it. Then Vivid released the trailer on the site..... LOL, why would you deny you made a porn a day before the production company released it?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 04:35 PM) That new Nintendo console will probably be a bit more powerful than the PS3 and 360. Nothing more. Nintendo always tends to lag behind in terms of processing power. That's been the case the past two generations. Yeah, it is always true they lag on the processing power. I didnt understand why they chose that route with the Wii, but it didnt make a difference, they sold plenty of Wii's because of the motion controls. Im interested to see what they choose to do with this next system. If Sony and Microsoft hold true to their stance that they are going to ride out the PS3 and 360 until 2014, that means Nintendo will have 2 full years of being the new toy on the shelf, all by itself. It is crucial that Nintendo establishes the same demand that they did with the Wii in the first two years, and they also have to focus on bringing in the hardcore gamers with their upgraded hardware. The Marios and Zeldas will sell themselves but that will take them only so far, Nintendo will have to create their own Halo to sell this system IMO. Once Sony and Microsoft bring their next gen systems into the mix, Nintendo better have a strong hold on the market. IMO Project Cafe will remain pretty under wraps at E3, with a few hints here and there. Nintendo is going to focus on the 3DS. My buddy bought a 3DS and he is really pissed about the launch catalog of games.

well you guys must be thrilled about this http://screenrant.com/the-hangover-3-sandy-117953/

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 31, 2011 -> 02:18 PM) So people shouldn't discuss a movie and how it rates up to the original? Come on, it's a message board, let us have our fun. where did you get that out of what I said? This discussion was devolving to "the kind of movies you like are s***ty" and "I dont understand how you could have/could not have laughed at this movie for blah blah reasons" If you want to say the hangover 2 sucks because of reasons stated regarding the movie, thats perfectly fine. If you want to say it sucked, and the people who enjoy it obviously only enjoy dumb lowbrow humor and other subtle insults, well that is not fine. All i was saying was stick to rating the movie, not to rating other people because they like or dislike the movie

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:38 PM) I think the side saying that it wasn't funny has been open to others finding it funny. But apparently anyone who doesn't think it was hilarious has a problem not when statements like this are thrown out QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 31, 2011 -> 06:55 AM) 35% on Rotten Tomatoes. Lets face it. You enjoy s***ty movies.
