QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 08:05 PM) MVC fans are funnier than Kansas fans pre last year. dont lump me in there

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/mets/2009...-with-mets.html we're still getting Pedro and Lyon right? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/01/brandon-lyon-do.html Soxobama isnt faring so well

Basically everyone who said "Wait until it posts" is correct. First off, a dispute cannot be filed until a charge posts because the pending charges change so much. I have seen people try and claim fraud and/or dispute hotel charges on their credit cards because hotels usually authorize the entire amount of the stay and half again(to protect themselves against damages) and people FREAK out when they see the charge hit their online bill. Also, sometimes the console(the machine you swipe a card on) has problems and will send multiple authorizations just because of a glitch(hardware, software, connection to network, etc). If you are double billed, over billed or dont recieve service or product for any transaction, you have dispute rights. If you are pissed because you didnt get what you thought you were getting, most likely the merchant will push back and then you are going through a whole world of "pain in the ass" that you dont want. And I cannot be any more thorough about what I am about to say: If you see a charge applied to your account that you did NOT do, or if your bank calls and asks you about a charge that you know you did NOT do, CLAIM FRAUD ON THE CHARGE AND CLOSE YOUR CARD. No matter how small the charge is. The small authorizations that "arent a big deal" are the precursors to the big charges. They are testing your card out to see it works. Dont b*tch and moan because you cannot use your card for a few days, just do it. I have seen countless people who have duped our customer service into releasing fraud holds on accounts because test charges "arent worth their time" or "arent a big deal", only to call us back a few weeks later when John Smith in California ran up their card at Walmart/Target/Best Buy etc. It happens. Every time. These guys that hacked into the heartland payment processing company know what they are doing, and they will continue to find different ways to do it.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 05:12 PM) I think it's there too. Maybe we will get real lucky and KW will go ahead and bring Crede back too Yeah we would be so lucky to pay him to be injured for another 80 games

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 02:09 PM) Stacked? Ya, I don't think so. The SIU game last night was absolute garbage basketball, we looked pretty bad but hopefully it's another confidence booster as any road win is huge. Like Kyyle said, Dillard is a freakin stud, so thank god for him. I'm also starting to fall in love with Ryan Hare, he's by far the most aggressive guy on this team and it's starting to pay off big time. We've come a long way in the last few weeks but the team is definitely still a work in progress. I'm actually starting to have some faith in this squad though, the game @ Ill State on Saturday should tell us a lot on where we're at. If they can play with the same intensity they played with against Creighton(minus the last minute of regulation and overtime), I think they will win. And I agree about Hare, both him and Dillard all of the sudden snapped to attention. They very well may be the next Young&Tatum, Brooks&Haiirston

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) So, Mets then? And at the same time they are pushing for Oliver Perez and Sheets. I dunno, its an odd offseason. It is so strange to be so close to the season kicking off and so many unknowns

I dont see why Freddy would want top pitch with the Yankees. It seems like he would be a 6th option, and from everything I have read about him he wants a real chance to be in a rotation this year

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 11:29 AM) That is so counterintuative. How bad does the GM look if he fires his own hire, in the FIRST YEAR he is there? There isn't a chance VDN doesn't make it through at least until the off season. The hire has been blasted since day 1, and it really isnt looking like a success. Honestly, they have a stable of former coaches right behind VDN, it isnt as if he would have to look very far. Maybe Barry Melrose and the Lightning set a precedent

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 10:41 AM) So how do they get Hurley out of Jail now within 70 hours? You send Sayid He got Hurley out of the crazy house, he can get hm out of county

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 10:18 AM) LOL at the continued MVC hype. The Big Ten is wide open this year and I love it, especially since I see the conference really starting on the upswing if some of the players actually stay in college for a few years. I cant wait for the tourney. Hey now, I didnt hype it. I thought what I said was pretty realistic

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 09:23 AM) Hence why the Bulls are in a bad position right now. I'd even say the Knicks are in a better position than Chicago is right now. They have a better coach, players who will want to play for that team now, and they'll have the cap-space to sign 2 big-time FA's in 2010, depending on what they do with David Lee (who's playing at an all-star level right now). Paxson got interviewed in the Sun-Times and basically absorbed all blame, saying VDN shouldn't get any. Both should be fired though. Thats not how the radio guys are interpreting it. They asked him to evaluate his coaching staff and he declined, and while he did rate himself badly, people(read, M&H, B&B, Schuster, basically the entire score cast) are freaking out that he didnt give VDN a vote of confidence and think VDN may be gone soon.

Happy Birthday!

QUOTE (juddling @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 07:30 AM) IIRC she explained to Desmond that he can't change the past and can't change the future. Personally..i think she was lying and was trying to KEEP Desmond from changing the future. Thats right, he was all torn up because he knew Charlie was going to die, right? Desmond has really had it the worst out of anyone, its a wonder he has any sanity left

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 07:18 AM) I remember seeing her before. Who was she in previous episodes? Somebody visited her, I thnk it was Charlie before he died. Or maybe it was Desmond before Charlie died. Either way, it was tied in to Charlies death

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 05:18 AM) After seeing Drake and UNI play Iowa State, and seeing where they are now....I'm not so sold on the MVC this year. There is a lot of turnover this year. I think the league will look better down the stretch, but right now it is tough to watch. The team that gets hot in February and March will probably get the bid, and right now that could be anyone. Hopefully it is SIU It will probably be Creighton though, Altman is awesome at keeping that team under control

SIU is starting to look a little more recognizable, maybe the season can be salvaged. I would be a lot happier right now had they beaten Creighton 2 games ago, but that is not a game you can count on, so I guess its just water under the bridge. Dillard is already a stud, man can that little guy play.

Im wondering if Christian will have a play in the Rumble

I wonder if the Dodgers will give him a Motorcycle for a retirement present

I smell 4th pl..... Happy Birthday!

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 11:10 AM) I can't bring myself to do it man. Its not so bad. Find your friend, then cancel your membership and be done with it.

This would be more exciting if it was cheerleading

I love Murray, but I still think Jemaine has some of the best lines and subtle humor. I could see how it could go either way though.

My buddies/former roomates band just change their name to The Yelling. I just got their EP, its pretty good
