Well guys, I tried.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) I was laughing just now thinking about Greg....Moustakas and Hosmer have both had key bunt hits against the shift that led to big innings in recent games. Meanwhile, Chris Young is outpitching Samardzija and anyone in baseball could have signed him...and we would still have Semien, Bassit and Ravelo. Rios/Orlando/Dyson > Melky Morales > LaRoche I'm sure any GM would rather have Chris Young than Samardzija. And they all laughed at Hahn behind his back when the trade was made

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 1, 2015 -> 08:19 PM) Why did Alexei not throw it to second. He should be out His momentum was carrying him to the hole, the degree of difficulty to throw to second in that situation is a lot higher

Safe

Scs why aren't your links formatting

QUOTE (scs787 @ May 1, 2015 -> 05:07 PM) What's interesting is I'm reading that ADHD should actually help athletes. www.forbes.com/sites/dalearcher/2014/07/16/how-adhd-puts-athletes-in-the-zone Maybe within their sports, but giving a guy millions of dollars and dropping him into the real world is what is giving these teams pause.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 1, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) Either way, I'm not going to blame the guy for what has happened to him. He may have self-inflicted one injury, but it's not his hand that forced him into retirement. No, it didn't force him into retirement, but it derailed the 2008 season, which was my point

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2015 -> 04:23 PM) I thought he punched his bat. That is the reason given. There was rumors at the time that he got pissed and went in the locker area and punched something that did not give Here is his denial http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2008-09...entin-bat-wrist

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 1, 2015 -> 01:42 PM) Perhaps true but that bat-slap-of-the-wrist was so damn innocuous. Yeah, he was wound kind of tight. But players have inflicted less on themselves with more tightly-wound moments than that one. Bad luck. Yea, I believe the rumor that he punched a locker/wall.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 1, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) Man. 2008 was such a special year. Crazy that he has walked away from it all at 32. As special as he made it, he also unraveled it. That guy was truly his own worst enemy

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 1, 2015 -> 12:40 PM) What are the character issues? I thought the biggest concern were whether he could handle the rigors of football. I know all of the reports have been "vague" outside of his pot issue, however, I don't know that it takes the extreme of character concerns. Did he have off the field issues involving violence, etc? The word is ADHD, which affects his decision making. The question is whether he can handle being a pro, and not being within a college system that can manage him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2015 -> 09:02 AM) We need to bring Heads out of game thread retirement. Heads is the secret weapon. Break Glass In Case Of Emergency

I wonder if La'el Collins gets drafted. NFL rejected his request to withdraw

I wonder how far Gregory drops. His mental profile must really be scary, because he is a first round talent

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ May 1, 2015 -> 08:22 AM) I thought Quinavery was making the game threads? My, have we become superstitious. Just messin with ya Ky. Q lost. Next man up!

JuJu

Win. Please. Thank you

I think T1 and T2 are similar to Alien and Aliens in that the sequels are wholly different from the originals. Both of the originals are all about being trapped by the unknown, not knowing what is hunting you and why, whereas the sequels are all about showing off the star enemy of the original in a different way. I like all four movies, I dont see the sequels as being better than the originals, but I definitely see them being just as good.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 02:10 PM) The good part about being Chip Kelly is that any plane ride back to college has a multimillion dollar contract when he lands. Yea, he doesnt have anything to lose. He tried the NFL, it didnt work. back to national championship contending. Who needs a coach?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 01:45 PM) @JayGlazer Scoopage: Agent for LSU's La'el Collins trying to pull him from this draft allowing him time to clear his name then enter Supplemental Draft. You mean it isnt good to enter the draft as a murder suspect of your baby momma?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 12:09 PM) Oh, I see what you are saying with the continuing storyline. I think that's cool that Marvel has connected all the movies and made them part of the greater MCU, but I don't think it's a necessity. If Marvel came out with three Thor movies that had nothing to do with the rest of MCU and they were really good, it wouldn't matter to me. But if you are leading up to Justice League, which DC is trying to do, it is very much a necessity. And reading about all of these (rumored) problems behind the scenes at DC, it is pretty concerning. I very much wanted MoS to be good. Me and you talked about being excited for it to come out, and when i finally saw it, i wasnt blown away like I felt like i should have been. I blame Snyder for that, and I don't really see him atoning for the mistakes he made(imo), but rather reinforcing them.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) Drew Brees was 2nd round. 14 years ago

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) Why aren't they the same? I don't get that, hell they were pretty much made by the same people. Sure the Batman movies are better. Just like Avengers is a ten times better movie than Iron Man 2. Man of Steel gets a lot of hate here, but that doesn't mean everyone hated it. Most people I know liked it. It also didn't review that bad. About the same as some of the other Marvel movies. If people are going to go around praising Marvel for being the best thing ever. With movies like Iron Man 2, Captain America: First Avenger and Thor 2. Those movies were no better than Man of Steel. Review wise and box office gross. Because they are self contained storylines within those characters universes, that have no impact on the MCU or DCU going forward. They are completely unrelated to anything in the next movies. I am not gonna sit here and tell you that Batman vs Superman is going to suck because Batman and Robin was terrible(but it made a lot of money!). The same people made Batman and Robin, but you know that it isnt the same universe as what is being started with Man of Steel. They shouldnt be compared. Marvel gets props because even with some minor setbacks in their storyline(that you mentioned), they have still maintained a greater storyline within a very broad spectrum of movies.
