Watched the latest "The Killing" episode. I have no idea why I'm watching it anymore, but I am. I f***ing hate that show, but I'll keep watching like an idiot.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 24, 2012 -> 12:10 PM) I need to find the next two from somewhere. I read Clash of Kings on vacation and storm of swords since sunday (almost done). Do you have a kindle or nook? Or even a nook or kindle app for Android or iPad? If you do, I can hook you up.

I find it comical that folks are still trying to convince greg that Ozzie is anything short of amazing.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 23, 2012 -> 04:45 PM) Pontoon boat, not even moving, bunch of 30 year olds not really making much noise at all. I've been on my lake driving boats since i was 8 legally since I was 12. Never seen anything like that EVER. They handcuffed me to their boat, took me in without a shirt or shoes on, strapped me down to a bed and took blood then handcuffed me to the floor of the jail for 14 hours without being able to get a drink or piss. All for sitting on my pontoon celebrating someones bday and unfortunately being the only boat out there at 5pm. You are Soxtalk's Cedric Benson.

Kerry Wood - no doubt about it. He could have been a top 10 pitcher of all-time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 24, 2012 -> 08:40 AM) WTF, Magic to talk to Shaq about GM position? I would love it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 23, 2012 -> 10:50 PM) I still don't think the sixers are that good. But their defense is stellar. They're undersized and don't have any shot-blockers. But they are extremely quick and athletic. ...and they are very well-coached.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 23, 2012 -> 03:48 PM) 50% loss is sad, but the market is just dead. Yeah.

According to The Detroit News, Young’s collection of rookie cards, which took him plenty of years and cash (nearly $5 million) to put together, was considered perhaps the best of its kind in the world.

Scott Podsednik went 2-for-3 with a homer Wednesday in his first start for the Red Sox.

QUOTE (SI1020 @ May 23, 2012 -> 12:55 PM) I'm surprised that in Asia of all places, the study of history is going by the wayside. There's a f***ton to cover.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ May 23, 2012 -> 12:27 PM) So, uh, I got the job. Hah Now accepting move ins... Wow! Congratulations!

QUOTE (SI1020 @ May 23, 2012 -> 12:13 PM) If you think Len Kasper is good then I feel very sorry for you. I'd rather listen to a trained parrot. Just be patient. Eventually all life and personality will be driven out of sports broadcasting, everyone will have the appropriate amount of "eye candy" and people will think that it's progress. In the quote you posted, he clearly said he was better because "anything is better than Hawk". He didn't say "I heart Len Kasper!"

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 23, 2012 -> 12:03 PM) My bad...that was hundreds of posts ago and I forgot... I guess I was more going off the fact that your recommendation was someone from the score, and not all those other broadcasts you've been watching. Vasgersian was ruined for me by The Show, but otherwise, he isn't too bad...kind of like a robot for my taste. Law Holmes post was a joke. Every now and then I make the mistake of turned on 670 on a random Saturday and he's doing a Depaul game, I believe. That wasn't serious. I want a professional. I actually like Vasgersian MORE because of The Show. Funny.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2012 -> 11:48 AM) Why does this remind me of the Moneyball scene with Jonah Hill/DePodesta facing off with Grady Fuson and the "old/crusty" scouts in the conference room, lol? The "older generation" is made to look kind of buffoonish and out of touch, the younger generation is Mark Zuckerberg or Billy Beane or whoever is flying in the face of convention, wearing hoodies to "road shows" and symbolizing a rebellion against the old guard that used to be symbolized by IBM "suits" and is now represented for baseball purposes by Hawk Harrelson. Then there are the "old school" guys like Scully or Harwell that EVERYBODY respected...that were maybe so "uncool" (like anything your parents or grandparents relished) that they've kind of become cool again to young people because they represent the way things used to be in the past and hearken back to better times and perhaps more pleasant memories for many adults. Listening to those guys like Harrelson, it's the baseball version of reading the newest Stephen King novel "11/22/63," it really makes you wish you were alive then to see the way the game was played by the '59 White Sox or '67 Red Sox/White Sox. It hearkens back to a "purer" time in our country, the 50's and 60's, when many of the problems were still masked or hidden under the surface and world didn't feel quite so ugly. Of course, those who lived at that time might beg to differ. You truly think on a level other than mine. Cool post - gave no opinion, but fun to read.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 23, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) You, on the other hand, haven't even tried any other dishes on the menu other than that one you think you remember being really good a long time ago, but is no longer available. Go back to post #1 in this thread. HERE I WILL LINK YOU - READ PLEASE. I've had mlb.tv for two straight seasons. I have watch a LOT of out of town baseball. I have been sampling more dishes than any normal human should. I have sampled, thanks to an incredible feature that allows me to pick not on the TV broadcast, but also have the radio announcers, upwards of 8 gentlemen talk about the game during any given game. It's fun, it's awesome. It was stated IN THE LEAD POST. (I only bring up reading comprehension when it's relevant, bud.) I even flipped to Len and Bob this weekend and enjoyed their broadcast better than Hawk. I was taken aback (seriously) when they spoke knowledgeably about White Sox players - because I so rarely get any information on the opposing teams hitters other than "I tell ya what, this [iNSERT PLAYER NAME] is really good." Hawk is a hack. Hawk is the guy who insists the only person with comparable bat speed to Carlos Delgado is Dayan Viciedo - and that these two gentlemen have the quickest bats in the history of baseball.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 23, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) Again, you are like a walking contradiction. You open the post with a blanket generalization and then go on to claim you really don't know much...but just enough to still be able to make that blanket generalization. Maybe old people have been around the block long enough to observe a few things? The reason you often hear older people say things like this is is because it is true. Many people, as we age, go through the phase in life where we think we really have a good handle on things...much better than what our parents or other elders do...how could they have not realized all these things I have? It must be because they are stupid. Then life happens, and as you get older and experience things, you realize how little you actually knew all along, and learn to respect what people with loads of experience have to say... I was throwing it back at you, Chief. Your position is "young people don't know everything". My position is "old people don't know everything, and are also cranky." Oh, and that Hawk Harrelson is horrendous at his job, and women deserve equal opportunity. I'm such an asshole.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 22, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) Did I stutter in my post? Let me answer it for you. No I didn't because that is impossible while typing.

I'm just happy to have an alternate option to "stuck with Brent Morel".

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 23, 2012 -> 11:09 AM) 27? 28? Right about the age where you think you've got the world all figured out... This is such a thing old people say. I don't believe I have the world figured out - that's just weird. The only things I have figured out in life are my marriage and the fact that the government sucks.
