QUOTE (qwerty @ Dec 5, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) Can't understand why people think that. Because in 99.9% of written Batman storylines, Batman (Bruce Wayne) has a steadfast rule to... not kill people? I don't see what's so hard to understand. Hell, the first movie of the series, Batman could easily kill Ra's Al-Ghul, gets challenged on his "rule" and says something to the tune of "I won't kill you... but I don't have to save you." And then you know like decades of comics and storylines and all that. Frank Miller decided to have Batman kill the Joker in "The Dark Knight Returns", which pissed people off - but for the most part he doesn't kill people, asdfgh.

Either slick negotiating by new chisox gm rick hahn or chicago preference Or dude's tired of being a backup and knew once A-Roid got back he'd have a part-time gig? The talentless White Sox roster = playing time.

Regardless, Youk can go away. He blows.

Did the Sox just sign a 33 year old utility infielder to a three year deal? And is said utility infielder going to start at 3b?

The excitement of the White Sox rumor mill is like

Happy Trails, Lidge!

With life being busy, too many trips to the gym, and NBA League Pass, I have grown to despise this thread - but only because I can never read it and by the time I've watched some episodes it's long past! Anyways, SOA finale was awesome.

Then you look at the pictures and realize parents f***ing suck. They all went with the kids, it seems, and each cart is filled with 4-10 hd monitors, and one kid apparently needed 4 brand new Kindles. Bluray players and tvs! Kindles for everyone! They probably banged. That's the spirit!

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Dec 4, 2012 -> 10:38 PM) lmfao. i watched dark knight rises again today but this time on blu ray and much like the first time i watched it, i couldnt get over how ridiculous bane's voice sounded. the rest of the movie is neat but.. dat voice!! i just couldnt take him seriously as a villain. Bane sounded like he should be commentating on a fine game of cricket, not terrorizing gotham. I adore Bane's voice, and find it to be just the right amount of creepy and different. That trilogy is my favorite trilogy in history.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 4, 2012 -> 11:58 PM) Bulls***. I like learning things every week. Like why each particular guy at each position on every single team is one of the best players in the league history. Fixed.

Apparently it's the state bird. Also takes the reign from the Bobcats as the dumbest name. Also helps get rid of the name the Bobcats.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 4, 2012 -> 01:19 PM) As an example, the photographer should be charged as an accessory. That's a bit much - but they are claiming the photographer "took as many photos as possible to get the train conductor's attention", but we all know that's BS. He saw a quick exclusive photo payday, and focused on that first.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 4, 2012 -> 08:22 AM) Reading these comments above, it's no wonder you guys all are losing your girls...you're trying too damn hard to be likable and too busy trying to buy her affection like little boys. I'll give you my relationship advice cheat sheet... Let me begin by saying, women like nice...they just don't like too nice. Women like sweet, they just don't like too sweet...etc. Anything that you do that they like, there is a point in which they will say, "it's just too much"...and the second they say that, you've lost her. I know, I know...so how do you know when too much is too much? When she leaves you...you'll know it was too much. When it comes to these quirky romantic comedy moments/routines, take my word for it...slow it down. S L O W. D O W N. The idea is to set the bar low but do a few unexpected things from time to time, that takes these small unexpected moments and makes them massive galaxy sized moments in her minds eye. If you use up all of your romantic ammunition in the first year of the relationship, she's going to get bored, trust me. I have a friend that's famous for this...he pulls out all the stops every relationship he's in, does ALL the romantic things you can think of, from weekend getaways, to romantic B&B's, walks in the park, fancy vacations, etc...then, after a single year, he's done everything there is to do with the girl and she gets bored, or conversely, she feels smothered. Either way, it's the same outcome...she leaves. First and foremost, disavow holidays you can get away with disavowing...things like Sweetest Day, disparage it's existence so she knows how you feel early, and don't worry, she'll dismiss it as a 'man's man' thing if you're legit. Don't try to do this if you actually like lame holidays like Sweetest day, either, she'll see through your lie. Believe me, children, she wants you to be a man in her mind...not a boy. Boys follow girls like puppy's and shower them with items, affection, etc., men don't do this often, and while she'll enjoy it for a little while, she'll get bored. Don't attempt this with major holidays like Valentines Day until you hit expert level, either...and you'll know when you arrive at that level because you won't be here looking for relationship advice. Using this tactic requires you to celebrate her existence on a day that's NOT sweetest day and explain to her that you don't need Hallmark to tell you when you should show appreciation for your girl. Trust me...as lame as this sounds, she will love it, AND, she will henceforth allow you to ignore things like Sweetest Day...which leaves you an opening to surprise on on Sweetest Day at some point in the future, which she won't see coming. However much ammunition you think you have in the war chest of romance...you can empty it out quickly, which leads to boredom. The reason this happens is because you set the bar of expectations too high too fast...and run out of bullets. If you do this and lose her, trust me...when you do catch up and get an update on her, you'll find her with the guy I just described...which will be the exact guy she told you she'd never be with when you were busy showing her with affection like a puppy dog. win

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 3, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) Lost a friend and HS baseball teammate today, 22 yrs old and died from brain cancer. Kid never got a break health wise. I'll never forget when we were playing our rivals and he broke his leg when rounding first base (terrible divot), he just fell and told the first base coach he broke his leg. Not one tear, didn't yell out, just took it. Sorry to hear that.

Batman doesn't kill people.

I used SS2k5's little trick and found it rather quickly. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...p;#entry2662012 J4L questioned it, and certainly didn't laugh you out of the building, and then the conversation went towards defense where Brewer is >>>>>> Butler.

I feel like there's very little chance this movie doesn't suck.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Dec 3, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) Dude, it was like months ago. How am I supposed to find those few posts now? Trust me when I say people laughed at me, just like you laugh at me for everything else I say here I don't laugh. I ridicule. I'm fairly confident no one took the time to bother typing the argument that Ronnie Brewer is/was more athletic than Jimmy Butler. You post things like that to bait people into either an argument that never happened, or to prove yourself right for a position you never defended in an argument that never happened. Listen, I was at the Bulls game Saturday night. Jimmy Butler is athletic as f***, and I'm sure that defensive rebound where it looked like he jumped through the jumbo tron is what prompted your post. All you had to do was post "WOW! Jimmy Butler's athletic!" to start a constructive conversation. Instead, you create your forte: controversy.

Well, that's a big deal.
