QUOTE (MO2005 @ Dec 31, 2008 -> 08:13 AM) Wow Marquis in Coors Field...He might break the record for most home runs given up in a season! What are the Rockies thinking? He is a sinkerball pitcher, if he is right, he is perfect for that park. The thing about Marquis is that he usually starts really strong and then fades in August when he gets fatigued and starts leaving his sinker up. The Rockies have to have sinkerball pitchers to compete

Speaking of driving news, here is some of the lamest coverage in racing http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/danica-patri...for-speed-21584 Why do we care? A racecar driver, speeding? NO WAY!! And she isnt even speeding more than any of us do on a regular drive. GMAB

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Dec 31, 2008 -> 12:49 AM) Has there been a huge crackdown on drunk driving back in Chicago, or is it just a California thing? Every other tv ad out here is about drunk driving, every other day the cops start randomly pulling people over for BS and the only thing they're looking for is drunk drivers. Tonight there was a DUI checkpoint near here which caused a 30 min traffic jam. There must have been 20 squad cars, 10 tow trucks, two TV cameras and a helicopter. I seem to remember back home you'd damn near have to get into an accident to get cited for a DUI. No, its huge here too. Repeat offenders have to buy the key breathalyzer now and penalties are doubling

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 09:21 PM) well who out there do you think the bears can get that is a quarterback to build a franchise around? I think there will be some good options. Off the top of my head I'm thinking Orton, Mcnabb, Cassel, Thigpen, chris simms. any other better names out there? I like mcnabb, hopefully he doesn't win the superbowl this year this is the strangest looking franchise QB list I have ever seen

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Carbondale just does not feel like it's in Illinois at all. That's not a negative comment about it, but between the 5 and a half hours or so it is away from I-88 and the appearance of it to a degree and the weather and the feel of the town even, it just feels like it's part of the south (although geographically, it pretty much is). I have REALLY enjoyed my time whenever I was there, but it just seems like a different world despite being in the same state. Makes me realize how big Illinois is. I think I would love living there actually though, except for the fact it seems so damn isolated. Other than Marion, nothing at all is that nearby it seems like. If there was actual work there for anyone who isnt involved with the school, I would live there right now. But its crap jobs, and jobs with the school

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 07:49 PM) Dark Batman = Better Batman. I actually liked the voice Batman had. Made him sound BA. BTW, Dent/Two-Face is dead. It's like those people who even though that Rachel wasn't dead, gimme a break! Never heard that one. Thats a lame rumor, no point. Bruce is a playboy, gotta move the girls in and out of the stories

QUOTE (beck72 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) 2:57 [Comment From Jordan Anderson] Who do you see the White Sox trading/signing....the market out there is really good but ken williams is just a damn peckerhead!!!! hope u can answer my question thanks 2:58 Oops I didnt mean to post that, reading the whole thing. LOL, WTF?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) Am I the only one that doesn't like the "dark" batman. I like my comic book movies lighthearted. I've really disliked almost every recent comic book movie with the exception of the Spiderman movies. So you think Schumacher's Batman Forever and Batman and Robin are better than Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 04:44 PM) it says its a maybe. Hard to believe actually, it dominates the DS in every possible way, but people just wont buy it. Except in the fun game part. The DS has original titles, the PSP started out with a bunch of ports and couldnt really get off the ground. Plus, Nintendo already had a good foothold with Gameboy Advance

Martz got his walking papers too.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 12:56 PM) what are we talking about here? Flukey superbowl wins or whether or not someone was/is a quality quarterback? Because, for example, jeff hostetler probably had a flukey superbowl win after simms got injured, but he had to play behind simms for 5 years, and then eventually beat simms out of a job, so hostetler was definitely a quarterback who is much more of a franchise quarterback than orton or grossman are. Yeah, that reasoning makes no sense. Hostetler had a good few seasons then got paid to be mediocre in Oakland(and he didnt beat out Simms, Simms got injured, when Hostetler left for Oakland Simms reclaimed his job and went 11-5). There was nothing franchise quality about him, he was a decent quarterback, not one you build a franchise around.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) Yeup. Few months ago for the first time. My friends family was in town so her dad just bought me everything so it was pretty f***in sweet. Some of those sunsets out on the vineyards were some of the coolest nights I had out there. And when me and friends would go get lost in the backwoods. One night we drove up on a cemetary waaaaaaay out in the middle of nowhere that had to have been over 100 years old.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) Being home is beyond boring. I miss Carbondale. Once you figure that place out, its really hard to leave. Have you hit the wine trails yet?

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 02:20 PM) I was shocked when the guy at the counter gave me a game that was actually still sealed in the shrink wrap. We questioned him and he said that they all come sealed unless it's the last one in stock. FWIW. Ha! Thats hilarious. I bought a game at gamestop this christmas that was used, but still a fairly new game. The guy goes, "Is this a gift?" and I told him it was, and he goes "Ill be right back" He went in the back and resealed/shrink-wrapped the game so it looked brand new and handed it to me. Dont be fooled by the shrink wrap

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 10:56 AM) They haven't released Zelda yet - that was a GC port. Jumping into the Wii debate - I'm very disappointed in how they set up their schedule of releases. Basically there's been nothing since Kart, Mario and Wii Fit that has been worth buying, and there doesn't seem to be anything in the near future (a new Zelda "sometime") I think the PS3 is going to dominate in 2009. 360 is over in terms of exclusive games, but the PS3 will put out Killzone 2 (i'm predicting it'll be the best console FPS ever... surpassing the overrated Halo) in Feb and God of War III in the fall. Not to mention 2009 MLB The Show. Add in Resident Evil 5 and it's going to be a fun year for gaming. Did anyone pick up anything good for Xmas? Something under the rader? I got World of Goo, a ridiculously fun and addictive Wii Ware and PC game ($15 for hours and hours of enjoyment). I also picked up NBA 2k9. I've been debating whether or not to pick up Rock Band 2. The AC\DC track pack would be awesome. But I don't really have enough friends that live close enough to play as a band on a regular basis, so I doubt it'd be worth the money. I just beat that game, and I CAN NOT WAIT until they make a full version of that game.

I hate it. Zooey is my secret crush

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 09:52 AM) Which one of those is not like the others... LOL At the same time, does anyone remember how bad Kerry Collins was when the Giants got their butts handed to them by the Ravens? Now people are calling a Titans-Giants Superbowl

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 08:49 AM) What are you trying to say? that ben reothlisberger, steve young, peyton manning, eli manning, mark rypien, jeff hostetler, and kurt warner are flukes? Rypien, Hostetler and Roethlisberger dont belong in the same sentence as Peyton and Young, and Eli has had 1 and a half good years. Im trying to figure out the definition of a fluke here

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 01:21 AM) Can someone recommend a small, live music (rock, indie rock) venue in Phoenix? I swear Leonard Zelig was out there for a little while, but I might be wrong. You might want to PM him to ask

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 07:59 AM) This was a woman in her 40's with big jewelry and too much perfume, as I recall. I'm pretty sure she wasn't packing heat. I bet the guy in Philly didnt expect that whackjob to be packing heat in his sweatpants Although Plaxico Burress has glorified the sweatpants hiding place

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 07:40 AM) I'd like to say it was the middle finger, but I honestly don't recall. I was just so livid. You better be careful with the finger trick. You might get shot doing something like that
