QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) I have a belief that there is really no legitimate reason for anyone to get drunk, ever... unless it's an accident (over drank and didnt know your limit). There's just no need for it. If your definition of "fun" is going out and getting plastered and acting like a complete boob, then I have no ambition to hang out with you. And that's your opinion. But its not going to stop me and most everyone else my age from having fun that way.

That parade was awesome.

The BP crosstown cup But I went with BCS national championship. Because of what was stated above, you don't control your own destiny.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) That tells me that LeBron isn't going anywhere. If Lebron was definitely staying at this point he would have already resigned. Yes I know he want to tour the country and get all the publicity, but he'd be an even bigger God in Cleveland if he just resigned there now instead of putting them through a week of hell as he toured the country.

I bought Strasburg Player tee today. I figure even if he falls apart and becomes a bust its still a wearable shirt.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:24 PM) I firmly believe if he went 9 innings, he would of K'd 19.. maybe 20 hitters. Had what 7 in a row before he was replaced?! Noone was even close to touching him. Shame he was on a pitch count. Maybe it's a good thing he was on a pitch count. He wouldn't want to end up like this.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 03:33 AM) Thank god most of those guys you listed are in the NL. I'll be jizzing when Strasburg K's 10+ against the Cubs every year. I might jizz when strasburg strikes out 10+ agaisnt us in a week or so. Watching him tonight was just special.

Just watched it. I had to DVR it because I had class, and let me just say that was amazing. I am going to make sure I see him pitch every chance I get now, because that was amazing.

I bet Ricardo would be cheaper.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 01:44 AM) see I don't hate Detroit, but I sure as hell don't wanna see them do good.. and I definitely don't want to have to see their team and Armando Gallaraga celebrate a perfect game on my TV for the next week or so.. there are very few teams that I can actually say I hate.. the Twins, Yankees, Cubs, Jets, Patriots, Cowboys, Red Wings, Lakers.. those are teams that I hate anyways, I never want to see anyone do good if its going to directly effect one of my teams.. I don't give a s*** how historic it is.. and if you rooted for him to throw that perfect game, you are an embarrassment.. Ya I'm an embarrassment because I want to see someone do something thats only happened 20 times in the last 100+ years.

QUOTE (Drew @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) There's no good way to lose a game, but damn that sucked. Hawks have a must-win on Friday. Play stronger on the puck, don't take stupid penalties. Two of their four goals came on the power play and the Hawks are not getting a fair shake from the officials. Totally blew a tripping call on Pronger, and Hartnell punched Versteeg in the back of the head and knocked his helmet off in front of a linesman. No call. Are they trying to give the Cup to the Flyers? Hawks still control their own destiny, but they have to win game 4. HAHA Sorry there is no way Friday is a must win for the Blackhawks, its not even close. Friday is a must win for the Flyers and that is it. However Game 5 becomes a must win if they lose game 4.

I can't believe theres actually people who would root against a perfect game just because of the team throwing it.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 12:43 AM) NBA Free Agent Slot Machine Most common scenarios for each free agent that I get: LeBron & Bosh to Bulls, Wade & Boozer to Miami, Amare & Johnson to Knicks, Dirk to the Suns, Lee to Nets. I spun the thing 14 times and Joe Johnson went to the bulls 7 times, Carlos Boozer twice no one else went to the bulls even once. Edit: I just spun the thing 4 more times and Lebron went to the bulls all 4 times twice with Johnson and once with Amare.

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) I also find it funny that the meathead contingent of our fandom believes that there is a lot of luck involved in the Twin past and present success, ie, the astroturf, the baggie, the roof on their old stadium, etc, etc. All I kept hearing all winter was how terrible the Twins were going to play outdoors in their new stadium. What these people dont get is the fact that the Twins have been kicking our ass for 10 years now and will continue to do so for a long time. They may have won more division titles then us in that span, but we won more world series titles and that is all that matters.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 29, 2010 -> 03:02 AM) If Wade is so loyal, how come he hasn't re-signed with Miami yet? $$$$

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 29, 2010 -> 02:51 AM) No your not the only one, and it is actually getting mixed reviews by people not only in Chicago, but around the world (hell even people in Canada are mixed on it) and I'm not even just talking about basketball fans. Me three years ago, probably hates it as much as you do. It doesn't bother me as much now, even though I'm more of a basketball guy. I was actually gonna hold off my thoughts on it till your post. Yeah, I might even be fine with it if they made it a Jordan 23 Hawks jersey(sweater). But there is absolutely no reason to ever put a jersey that does not read Jordan on that. Jordans brought 6 rings to this city, Toews has brought the same amount I have.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 28, 2010 -> 02:35 PM) Sox game I was at last year, we had an epic wave going. It went 3-4 times around the stadium, with lower bowl and upper decks involved and synchronized. It was great. Waves are never great. The only time I think they're acceptable is if it is at a college sporting event and it was started by the student section. Am I the only one upset over the Jordan statue having hawks gear all over it? I mean I'm not a big hockey fan considering this is my first post in this thread, but that statue is basically sacred in my mind. Obviously I am probably going to get ripped on for posting it in this thread, but I still feel that way.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 27, 2010 -> 09:22 AM) Neither Penny nor Juliet were season 1 characters. And Boone and Shannon reallllllly shouldn't have been there. Ya but I'm sure they had a Sawyer love interest in the making before season 1, and since Desmond and Penny showed up in season 2 I'm sure they knew who Penny would be because of how big they made Charles Whidmore out to be.

The best part of that ^ is this Obviously theres no way of knowing if thats true or not, but if it is that's really cool.

I know this is a wall of text, but its a really awesome read. I found this on a digg comment, and its in a few other places but supposedly this is from a guy who worked with bad robot and actually wrote for the show. Edit: found the link to the original one http://lostmediamentions.blogspot.com/2010...-on-finale.html

More from ozzie. "Sometimes he thinks f---ing people pay to watch him f---ing umpire.'' Oz on Joe West. and "No matter what you say, what you do, how long you talk here, Major League Baseball doesn’t do s--- for anything.'' Oz I hope ozzie enjoys his days off, but at least he said what we were all thinking.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) You didn't make an answer; you did what the writers did: shifted a mystery from one place to another. Why are the Others doing what they are doing? -Because Jacob tells them to. Why does Jacob tell them to do these things? ... How did Jacob become some kind of demi-god? -Some woman gave him powers. So how did she have powers? What was she? ... Why can't Smokey leave the island? -It's a Rule. What are the Rules? ... You can play that game forever if you wanted to. Why why why why why why why why.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 26, 2010 -> 12:24 PM) Bulls***. Of course it is the writers faults because they realized a large percentage of people were watching Lost for the mysteries and unraveling of the mysteries which is why they ended basically every episode with a cliffhanger and some new mystery for people to obsess over. As a result they kept digging themselves a deeper and deeper whole with respect to the mysteries of the island and then couldn't find a way to tie it together. People sure as hell weren't obsessing over Kate becoming a mother or whether Jack would become a man of faith. They were not obsessing over that because its hard to talk about what happened to the characters because what happens to them happens, its a lot easier to make a theory about the island then a theory about what Jack is going to do next.
