Did Cena really get Big Show and Edge up for the FU(Attitude Adjustment)? Hate him all you want, thats a pretty impressive show of power

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 08:39 AM) Yes and it is really bad. Anyone catch baseball tonight yesterday morning when the cub was hailed as a run away winner in the NL east but Carpenter and Wainwright were hailed as 200 inning locks. Quite simply if Carpenter and Wainwright pitch all year, I think the Cards are better than the cub and at the least shoudl kee pthe cub from running away. The Cards play the same teams as the cubs. Central

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 02:41 AM) Because they had a pop-warner defense. We have the advantage of a better D and RB over the Broncos, while they dust us in WR. If we pick up a decent WR we will be loads better than Denver was just because of the D and RB. The Bears also have 2(actually 3 if you count Kellen Davis) quality Tight Ends, so Cutler still has places to throw the ball besides Forte. I think Cutler will excel in a split TE formation

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) We love Royals rejects. Hopefully he'll never see the mound. He's one of the worst pitchers in modern baseball history. except when he faces lefties, which is all he should face

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 02:28 AM) Somebody said Phillies fans booed tonight. Wow, how soon we forget. Yeah, you soon forgot that they are Philly fans

This story is just bizarre. This all started because this guy got in an argument with his Mom because his dog peed on her floor, so she called the cops to have him removed from her house because he was fighting with her about it. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/04/05/pittsb....dog/index.html

I dont know about wishing for Brad Penny. That guy has had a ton of arm issues in the last couple of years, and never really addressed them. He did a lot of the old Joe Crede "im doing an excercise rehab instead of the surgery", and he hasnt been able to stay healthy. He is most certainly still a risk to fall apart Also, Kotsay is starting the season on the DL again with elbow issues.

Mike Patton(Faith No More, Mr Bungle) has signed on to voice one of the decepticons in the upcoming movie "Transformers: Rise of the Fallen"

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 03:24 PM) The 3D thing is pretty cool but there is something that is so ancient about it. Havent we advanced past 3D by now? I want s*** to be hollagrams without wearing some stupid glasses. as soon as that hologram theatre is set up, Im so there. Until then, I will wear the stupid glasses. And after I saw Monsters vs Aliens I had goggle marks imprinted on my face for an hour, those things were pissing me off. The arms of the glasses didnt adjust(no hinges), they were just one continuous form, so they were super tight in the back, and right behind my ears they were pushing in so much that I had a massive headache. However, all that said I still would go back and see a movie in 3d Imax again. It was a blast

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 03:14 PM) The hype train is 15 years in the making and has who is one of Hollywood's biggest name to it. Anything less than 250 million would be a disaster I would imagine. Cameron is planning on revolutionizing the industry with his 3D motion capture style in this movie. Ridley Scott was quoted recently saying that he was inspired by what he has seen of Avatar so much that he is planning on filming his next movie the same way.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 02:33 AM) I loved Adventureland, and it only made $2.2 million on Friday and will die a quick death. OTOH, Fast/Furious 4 made $30 million in one day already, will end up at around $75-80 million for the entire 3 days...and is one of the most mindless/brainless movies you could ever hope to see. On Sunday, it will be announced that this movie set the ALL-TIME opening for an April release. Hard to believe, isn't it? It's hard to believe there are so many Vin Diesel fans out there, the Asian presence from Tokyo Drift/Part 3 has been eviscerated almost totally and African-American actors/actress (T. Gibson) nowhere to be found. If there is a subniche for this movie, from watching it once, it would seem to be Hispanics, who, along with Asian-Americans, are one of the most difficult audience demographics to predict in terms of ticket buying behavior. http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/...e.ew/index.html

I almost wish MLB schedulers would just take into account that Chicago weather sucks in early April and schedule the Sox on the road until mid-April. Then maybe the Sox could get a nice homestand later in the season

Not really NFL related except for Tom Brady, but his second marraige to Gisele Bundchen had some interesting happenings, including paparrazzi getting shot at

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 02:50 PM) I can handle Murph's Cub love, but I can no longer tolerate, The way he will take a call, then not let the caller say anything. It is hard to explain but the minute a caller starts talking, Murph is trying to interrupt him, if you don't want to hear what he has to say... don't take the call Murph. It is like Murph thinks he needs to be talking 99.99% of the time. And of course, the ads will drive you ape s***. and not only callers, he interrupts guests just as bad. I have heard Stone and Hub both get pissed at him during their segments because he is always cutting them off and trying to finish their sentences. You are correct, this is his worst trait of all of his little annoying traits

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 02:27 PM) this amused me. thats awesome. Im leaving it there like that, lol

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 02:40 PM) Hows about that Obama f***er? What a dickhead he can be sometimes,eh? Iam not amuz-ed

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 01:30 PM) Honestly, it wasn't meant to tie to anything. It was just a random response to mreye's post. As I just said somewhere else, I wasn't trying to set the board on fire. I bait all the time. It's called discussion. However, I get your point. I don't ever want to tell you where to post either. It ain't my style... I guess that was my biggest point. Oh, and, I really try not to be an admin, I don't care what ya'll do. It's your board. I'm just the tech geek that has to fix the board when it goes haywire. I really don't want you all to think I'm ever on some power trip, because I'm not, and I can't think of anyone that is. Shipps /thread

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 01:23 PM) What "standards" are you talking about? Yes, by in large, you're right... but hell, threads get sidetracked all the time for many, many different things. I see the same things carried across the board, and I'm certainly not running around telling you or anyone else what or where to post. I don't think many admins/mods or regular posters (which is why I wrote it like I did) care what's posted where, with one notable exception (and no, it's not you). I see random "fear mongering" or whatever other adjective all over this board. And it's no big deal... unless we're (all posters) trying to make it one. Kap, look, I understand you are passionate about politics and it is a very big part of who you are(at least on this site). But that post you made yesterday looked like it was dragged straight out of the "Ban Guns/ 3 cops killed" thread and dropped in this thread because you were feeling fiesty. Im certainly not one to be telling people what to do on this site and I dont want to be that guy, but I felt that was a deliberate attempt at baiting and derailing a perfectly normal SLAM thread when that sort of discussion was happening elsewhere on a buster thread. That is all I have to say about that

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 01:10 PM) Ohhhhhhh, let's play that card. Please. I think we all can say pretty much what we want, and I don't think any of us need the post police to come by telling us where to post. If I want to post a sarcastic comment, I'll post it, thank me very much. Sure, go ahead, just keep it in the thread where the start fighted. I mean, if people get b****ed at for dragging arguments from one thread to another and baiting other people, then why shouldnt you? The filibuster is intended for political discussion, correct? This thread wasnt started with political discussion, or with the intent of political discussion, was it? You just randomly interjected your Obama fear mongering crap out of nowhere, didnt you? I could care less about your views, but you should be held to the same standards that everyone else is held to

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 01:06 PM) Get over yourself. Seriously. It was a joke and I was very clear about it. right back atcha Mr Admin

QUOTE (qwerty @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 12:58 PM) I understood that, it's just that he would be far from the first to post a sub .600 ops in 250 at-bats in a season Oh I see what you were saying, misinterpret on my part. carry on

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 12:20 PM) Choo. Moving him there at least to start the season because of the shorter throws. Doesnt seem like a good idea to have him out in the field at all if his triceps are bothering him that much.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 12:49 PM) You have to be kidding. Im pretty sure that whole post was supposed to be in green. Thats the way I interpreted it

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 12:33 PM) That's where only living in a three story building in Thompson Point has its perks. Our RA's are past the point of caring about anything and were the only building in TP without a head RA. This morning I apologized a little bit because she's usually pretty nice to us, but I cant account for my behavior when I'm hammered and I'm not willing to make any promises. Im not talking about any RA, Chuck was in charge of ALL dorms, TP and the Towers/University Park. If it gets escalated to him, you are talking soem serious annoying stuff to deal with. But TP always had a "set aside from the rest" mentality to it, so you are fine unless your dice-roller was really really pissed last night

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 12:25 PM) Is it me, or is the level of excitement generated by this move unprecedented in Chicago sports history? Not including championships (the Bulls 6 titles, the Bears '85 title, the White Sox '05 title), when has a single Chicago sports happening single-handedly transform the city? The only thing I can think of that exceeds this move in terms of excitement generated is when Jordan came back in '95. Then again, the whole world transformed when that happened. It was pretty exciting when the Sox got Thome, when the Bulls got Rodman, and I am told when the Cubs got Nomar it was like this. The Bears going to the Superbowl was pretty crazy too
