QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 11:21 PM) I'm waiting to see how well/poorly they pull off a CGI (I assume) Appa. My kids are huge fans of the series and I think it's pretty well made, so I'm sure we'll see this. The kids were actually upset when they started seeing the ads for Cameron's Avatar because theu thought it was goiung to be this film and now they have to wait 9 more months. They are delaying the release of the actual trailer because they dont want the movies to be confused with each other, even though the Avatar portion of the title has been dropped. The first actual trailer is supposed to drop around february

QUOTE (quickman @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 09:28 AM) From what I read earlier in the year Linebrink was instrumental in getting peavy to accept coming here. They are friends just like putz and Thornton. i think the sox keep linebrink, he could bounce back strong to help save games for his buddy. I completely realize I am taking the angle of emotion with these comments, and KW doesn't usually run on emotion, but this could work out at least for the first half of the year. This is the problem with Linebrink. We only get halves. He is paid in full

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 04:02 AM) Q101 reference. Now Paruch on 670. I think he still goes by that on 101.9 when he does his shows. The guy is everywhere, I am pretty sure he fills in at Q101 here and there too. back to the discussion....

anyone see the teaser trailer for The Last Airbender? I am interested to see if Shyamalan can pull it off, I wonder if he can do anything with material that is not his own.

I havent followed them much this year, but does Cinci have much of a defense? Or is this going to be the same thing it was with Weis, all O no D?

I am very disappointed WWE didnt run anything about Umaga/Eddie Fatu on RAW

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 05:24 AM) Ben Gordon averaged 21 pts. 3.5 reb and 3.5 assists a game for the Bulls last year and he's in his prime. He may be an upgrade over Gordon, but its not huge, and certainly won't make the Bulls Eastern Conference contenders. I disagree completely. Joe Johnson is on a completely different level than Ben Gordon

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 01:48 PM) I want the crap out of this guy. For a Coop can Fix 'em type deal, he's got insane stuff. I always compared him to Carlos Marmol, unhittable without a lick of control. LOL. poor wording

bacon flavored.......whatever.

Ken Davidoffs twitter saying he thinks the Yankees are eventually going to re-sign Matsui

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 08:07 AM) Why would we want another guy that wasn't good enough to play for the Royals? To anyone wanting to play Jacobs at first........have fun. I'm pretty sure I'm a better first baseman than that guy. While he has power, his swing is long meaning a high K rate, he doesn't walk, his OBP is crap, and his defense is horrible. He's nothing more than a power bat off the bench. Bale sucks too. I doubt the Royals pick 2 players so maybe they are getting ready to sign Kendall today. Posted by: revive85 | December 10, 2009 at 07:53 AM To the multiple people above who said that maybe their team could pick Jacobs up to help out at 1st...Jacobs was so awful at 1st base for one of the worst teams in baseball (royals) that they made him strictly a DH early in the year and gave Billy Butler a shot at the job, even though he had little experience and nobody believed he would be much better. Jacobs is a terrible fielder - probably one of the worst fielding 1st basemen in baseball. And when you can't hit all that well either...Well, I'm just saying, there is a reason the Royals dropped him. Posted by: KCJay | December 10, 2009 at 07:57 AM No thanks... LOL Im sure those messageboard posts figure into what KW thinks

Lowell to Rangers, BoSox pay most of his salary http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4730311

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 08:25 AM) When the f*** did Tampa trade Iwamura. Man I would've loved to get in on that action. Did they trade him? I thought he was a FA pickup by the Pirates

Of course Levine would throw that up against the wall, it makes so much sense for the Cubs to acquire a 3B/DH type in Mike Lowell. You know, because they dont have a 3B and really need a DH

QUOTE (SockMe @ Dec 9, 2009 -> 08:50 PM) I read the Cubs really want him. Of course, they love signing huge contracts. I havent found this anywhere. I saw him connected to the Rangers, thats it

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 9, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) Frank Thomas going from 1b to DH. Thats where weve all seen it. Although it could be due to injury, age, but there are some pretty big name players who just didnt do as well when they only were dh. Lets not forget that Thomas still had a MVP stolen from him when he became fulltime DH in 2000 and his first year in Oakland he put up damn near MVP numbers yet again, so it wasnt as if his numbers fell off a cliff when he went to DH. If it wasnt for his fragile feet.....

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 9, 2009 -> 06:11 PM) If the price is right then I'd love this move. Another lefty is needed though if this does mean the end of Jenks since we can't count on Putz to close right out of the gate, even if he is perfectly healthy. I wouldnt mind kicking the tires on Mahay.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 9, 2009 -> 01:26 PM) With the way Ozzie wants to rotate people out of the DH spot, I wouldn't mind promising Matsui some OF time. Also, I'm not sure if it already has been mentioned, but apparently, Ozzie wants Mark Redmond to be the backup catcher to AJ. LOL, gotta get all the Buehrle killers on the team

I am not going to tell people to stop speculating and such, because thats what this board is for, but I see about as much sense in discussing this rumor right now as I do in discussing trying to acquire Pujols.

Soooooo, how bout that Quentin for Crawford rumor

No I am not excited about Avatar at all. I already saw that movie with my daughter a year and a half ago. It was called Battle for Terra

That 3 point attempt just made me sick. Something tells me that ball was supposed to move around a little bit more than it did and Salmons took it upon himself. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 8, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) Vinnie put his house up for sale. Maybe he knows something. Really? Where did you hear about that?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 8, 2009 -> 07:42 PM) I wouldn't mind Bradley on the Sox. I actually think Bradley is like Iverson in that he has to feel like he's wanted and that he's one of the guys. The Cubs, almost from the get-go, made him feel like an outcast. When he got off to the slow start, that made it even worse because the fans got on him and for a black male in the Wrigley OF, that's not a good sign. I'm not saying all their fans are like this, but enough to make others notice including players. 6 out of his 7 teams*(not counting Texas, even though he did his dumbass pressbox charge there) made him an outcast? Interesting. You see what you want to see I guess

sorry if this was posted before Um, what?
