QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 23, 2014 -> 10:33 PM) I don't think I've ever swung a Miken before. With the new ASA regulations, the new Combat bats are hot as hell, especially last year's Derby Boys. I just swung a Demarini J3 today, almost fresh out the wrapper and it felt amazing. I'm seriously thinking about dropping $250 on it right now. There are a few Jeff Halls in our teams bat collection, those are also pretty fun to swing. Our teams best hitter plays with the local combat tourney team, so he has a few combats in his bag too. Personally for some reason I really like the two piece bats. Maybe it is how they are weighted, but they feel great when you hit the sweet spot. But they seem to fizzle out quicker than the one piece bats, and the sweet spot is smaller

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 24, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) Isn't that how Hawk reacts to everything nowadays? Hell, one of his eyes is on perma-glaze now GET OUT THE PATCH!

I dont think it is possible that the WWE could have miscalculated Batista's crowd reaction worse than they have. From what I read about the match, the crowd was "Goldberg-Lesnar mania" hating on it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 23, 2014 -> 10:12 PM) What bats do you guys swing? I'm a big fan of the Freak+

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 23, 2014 -> 08:06 PM) Just wondering where it's going. Yea, the gimmick needs to start showing something. The pop up soapbox is getting annoying without anything else

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 23, 2014 -> 05:20 PM) Anybody else ever watch "The King of Kong"? One of the better documentaries I've seen. Fitting for today's video game culture. Yea it is good, the rivalry between those guys is amusing

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Feb 23, 2014 -> 10:24 AM) You know hawk was right in that whole snafu. Poor guy was set up to look dumb. All he's ever advocated is that stats don't paint the whole picture. He set himself up with TWTW. That was all him, reinforced by him

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 23, 2014 -> 12:41 PM) Last I read the Bulls were only going to have enough space under the luxury tax to sign guys briefly to 10-day contracts and cut them. Yea KC Johnson keeps saying that too. I'm not gonna pretend I understand the cap so I have no idea if/how it would work

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 22, 2014 -> 01:07 PM) For all the grief given to Hawk about advanced metrics, Stone has a pretty similar view. I cannot recall he being dissed by it. Stone gives sabermetric stats their due when he can. He doesn't dismiss them, make up his own unquantifiable statistic and then go on MLB Network to argue with a sabermetric friendly analyst about it.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 22, 2014 -> 09:24 PM) SIU back to .500 in the Valley. The league tiebreakers are kind of funky but if we can somehow win the last 2, we'll prolly be the 3 seed in Arch Madness. Crazy. I streamed the Evansville feed to watch the game. Greetings from 2002 internet quality

Thibs and Vogel are pretty similar coaches, I don't think Granger would fit in with the Bulls.

According to Aldridge, the Bulls are looking at signing Big Baby off the scrap heap

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 22, 2014 -> 10:38 AM) Why did Stone get blocked? This is from the article:

Hawk will correctly use a sabermetric stat in a game, and soxtalk will cease to exist

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 21, 2014 -> 11:07 AM) I'm bored. Here's my pipedream WM30: 1. Cesaro vs Sheamus 2. The Usos © vs the Rhodes Bros for the Tag Championships 3. John Cena vs The Undertaker 4. The Wyatt Family vs The Shield Hell in a Cell 5. Titus O'Neil vs Jack Swagger vs Dolph Ziggler for the IC Belt 6. HHH, Randy Orton, Kane vs CM Punk and um...Brock Lesnar and um... Christain with a blue dot 7. Some diva or celeb filler that will have to be on the card 8. Daniel Bryan © vs. Batista Get it done Vince I dont think the Shield makes it past the elimination chamber as a group.

Yea, very odd that HBO would pass on it, although maybe they figured they had their political shows filled up with VEEP and Newsroom

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 21, 2014 -> 09:59 AM) That would mean he signs a new deal, which I don't think happens. He will, because what else is the guy gonna do? He may be weird, he may talk UFC and stuff, but the guy is a wrestler and he knows it.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) I hope so but as I said before, Punk is a weird dude, I really wouldn't be shocked if he's done. I dont think he is done, but I dont think he shows up in March. I am actually thinking it is more likely that he shows up around summer slam

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Feb 21, 2014 -> 08:34 AM) Wade playing like he did last night make the Heat absolutely unbeatable. Well yea, but his knees usually make long stretches of play like that impossible

interesting how Stone got blocked from going to The Game 87.7. I wasnt aware a radio station could excercise that kind of move

When asked about CM Punk, Vince stated that "he is taking a sabbatical."

Bernstein has taken on the stance that Noah is merely an entertaining spaz bum slayer. Pretty much everyone but Boers is giving him s*** about it

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 06:50 AM) What alternatives are there to a traditional compost bin? Our garden space is flagged, so there's nowhere to place a compost bin where the resultant liquid can run-off into the soil and worms can come up into the composting material. Can you get composters with a closed bottom, or what alternatives are there? My Mom just uses a regular hard rubber garbage can with various holes popped into it for gas/liquid drainage. And when she gardens she takes worms she finds and throws them in there.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 07:37 AM) If Hahn were to pursue him, it seems like it would be that Lars Anderson situation again. NOOOOO NOT THE LARS!!!!! NEVER THE LARS!!!!!!!
