QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 12:40 PM) They're different players than Alexei, they just had the durability to do it, he doesn't. LOL, and how do you know this based on his 1 year in the majors?

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 12:10 PM) Because 27 year olds that wear down in September after only 135 games (only about 120 were starts) probably aren't going to get more durable, especially when they're moving to a more demanding defensive position. Alexei wasn't a typical rookie last year, he is in his prime right now. So how was Ichiro able to adjust? Or Nomo? Or college players like Texeira who pretty much played right away? or players like Pujols who jumped from college to A ball to the majors? It is a flawed argument, Im pretty sure Alexei will be able to manage his stamina just like the rest of the league learned to do

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 12:08 PM) I just had a thought... in keeping with the linear time line, is it possible that Sayid's shooting of Ben in the "past" is what serves as the trigger for turning him into an evil pyshcopath in the "present"? thats kind of what I was getting at with my "bitterness" post. He is going to grow up knowing these people, then see them again later in life. Ben knows his motives, and he knows how to get what he wants. They stressed the "be patient" quote

QUOTE (rangercal @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 11:49 AM) We just signed a Right tackle (kevin shaffer) yesterday, Chris Williams , Kruetz,Garza and Beekman. Not the best OL in the world, but I bet it will be better than last year. Plus they still have that guy they traded for last year(Buenning), and Omiyale. The line will be quite different this year, no doubt.

My dad lived in Johnsburg(McHenry) and had wellwater. When his filter was working(it clogged a whole bunch because of the sediment) it was fine. You could tell the water was super filtered and had a weird "soft" taste to it, but it was drinkable. Without the filter, it was like drinking something with grit and the smell of rotten eggs. It was really bad

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 10:15 AM) The action that just occurred obviously happened to big Ben in his past. He's been shot. Whoopteedoo. One thing I've learned is that you can never trust that someone is dead on Lost. However, to dispute a previous post (KYLE!)... people do die on the island (see Mr. Ecko, Charlie, Boone, Anna Lucia, Shannon, Ethan, Russeau, Libby, etc etc). This does not mean Ben is dead, though. Tiny Ben will be alive, though they will make us believe he's not, and eventually we'll see that, duh, if Big Ben is still kickin', then Tiny Ben sure didn't die. Some have, some people seem to die and come back later(that russian guy comes to mind, cant remember his name, with the scarred face. dude was shot, blown up, etc and kept coming back for more) I know people have died, but the island seems to have something going on in regards to a fountain of youth and long life spans that arent really explained

Maybe nobody ever dies on the island, thus Ben survives and has quite a bit of bitterness in him growing up

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 05:14 AM) Alexei wore down in September after playing 135ish games last year, he isn't going to be able to play 150+ games a season and stay productive. Really? He will never be able to adjust to the MLB schedule? Why is that?

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 03:59 AM) Just watched Slumdog Millionaire. Didn't really know much about it going in (other than a very basic premise), and I thought it was a very good movie. That main actress is hot. Rumored to be the next Bond girl

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) The book is a bit creepy, in a weird way. So depending on treatment, the movie could indeed be terrifying for kids. I hope that isn't the case - I saw a lot of people bring kids to Pan's Labrynth, thinking it was a children's story. Yow. Wow, I could imagine a lot of covered eyes and post movie nightmares for kids 10 and under seeing that movie.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 05:45 PM) It looks terrifying. LOL, thats not what she just said after we watched the trailer. She just told me "I know that book, its about the kid who imagines things". Thats funny that you say that though, because the film was redone after a test screening went bad and kids started screaming and stuff.

I hope everything works out for you and your parents.

Where the Wild Things are looks like a movie I will enjoy bringing my daughter to.

If Owens gets cut, he would have to accept reassignment or become a FA, correct?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 10:56 AM) April is a bit overweight, but wears it well. Those stunt tits were fantastic. What? Where? That girl had a defined 6-pack when she took off her shirt in episode 5

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 09:37 AM) I bet it was from the shot with the camera. Jericho looked at both sides of the camera before deciding which way to hold it. I'm thinking maybe he chose the wrong side. I agree. He was bleeding before the shot, gushing afterwards

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 09:09 AM) Anyone know if Durham's knees are better? He played a game there in San Fran, and the A's did have internal discussions about putting him their after the trade. He wouldn't be the best option, wouldn't be the worst either. Given his age, i'd still rather have BA out there. That is a stretch. Bigtime. I highly doubt that Durham would be receptive to that idea

apparently Flair took 12 staples to the noggin after Jericho busted him open on Monday. I saw the blood pooling under his head when he was laying in front of the announcers table and thought it looked like a little bit more than the norm

I just found this deadspin headline hilarious and thought I would share

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 04:26 AM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-2...0,5403058.story Seems that Ozzie is really waiting for him to at least get his FB back into the lower 90's again. I don't think we'll ever see the Colon who would gain strength during a game and raise his velocity to 96-97 and even touch 98 in the late innings, but he has to throw at least 90-92 MPH to be effective IMO. His FB has always had a ton of late movement, so the velocity isn't as important to him as someone like Jenks, Thornton or Brandon McCarthy. With Richard as option #1 if Colon isn't ready for Opening Week, there's a lot of pressure on Poreda to hold off Williams as the second lefty out of the pen. This need might be mitigated a little bit by the seeming demise of both Hafner and Mauer, but Ozzie appears determined to have at least two lefties in the pen for late game match-ups. Outside of that, everything seems pretty settled...maybe the debate between Carasco, MacDougal, Russell and Marquez for the final spot in the bullpen...and Kroeger versus Lillibridge for the final spot on the team. Lillibridge would need to go for the next week to lose that job, it seems. He did hit the ball hard at least once yesterday off Carmona...maybe that's a positive sign. Owens APPEARS to be on his last legs with the White Sox, literally. Did you honestly think you were going to see that version of Colon?

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 24, 2009 -> 09:53 PM) I wonder if he's started using again. It doesn't matter, the band is basically The Billy Corgan Experience anyway. I was thinking the same thing, heroin is quite a demon for anyone. Or, maybe Billy finally pissed the last original Pumpkin off
