1. Rachel wins - Big Brother always loses it's luster the final two weeks. The cast sucked this year. 2. Survivor - I got Jim. This is a solid cast, and I could do without the returning Survivors and Redemption Island, but still excited. 3. Up All Night - I laughed a lot; this has tons of potential. 4. Sunny! 5. Sunny!

I sincerely hope that Coop would survive the rest of the coaching staff.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Now, does that mean that the balls will be hard or that the sucking will be aggressive? Because I'm pretty sure that the former would be painful and is a sign of testicular cancer. It just means it'll be a very bad film.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) They are supposedly doing an entourage movie. I reckon that'll suck rather hard balls.

QUOTE (bozzie @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:20 PM) Joe Cowley in today's Sun-Times published the next installment in the ongoing saga between the two 13-year-old girls playing General Manager and Manager of the Chicago White Sox, suggesting Kenny Williams has been given assurances he is returning and can pick his manager from here on out. Clearly, it won't be Ozzie Guillen. Meanwhile, the man Ozzie Guillen says is like a father to him is blowing off his emails, and Ozzie is sulking his way toward resignation that his days as White Sox manager are numbered. How sick will Ozzie be over this when he takes some time in the offseason and finally realizes he did it all to himself. Guillen could have had a job for life with Reinsdorf if he had just learned to get along with the man who was his boss. Alas, Guillen's enormous ego, somehow borne of a middling Major League career as an average fielding, undrehitting shortstop with pi55-poor command of the English language, did him in. Guillen thought his "Hispanic Jackie Gleason" act, as Daddy-Reinsdorf once called it, was endearing enough to the owner that he didn't have to answer to anyone else. Any disagreement Guillen had with Williams was immediately taken to the media, by Ozzie, or even by Oney, his no-talent free-loading son whose largest achievement in this world thus far is a series of broken-English tweets running down the man who signed the contract giving his father millions. How sweet it is now to watch Guillen squirming, realizing he is about to face the ignonimity of a public firing, and not even having the ear of Daddy as his White Sox career careens down the toilet. He did it to himself. Here's how. In 2006, when the White Sox won the World Series, Ozzie for some reason took it upon himself to fued with Frank Thomas who, though injured, was a model teammate in encouraging his compatriots to their world championship. Guillen won that pi55ing contest: at the end of the year, Thomas was gone, replaced by another future Hall of Famer, Jim Thome. But Ozzie didn't like Thome either. Despite averaging 30-something home runs and 90-plus RBIs over three years, Ozzie ran him out of town as well, claiming Kenny was not constructing a team he could manage in forcing him to put the slow-footed Konerko and Thome in the middle of the lineup. Guillen won that pi55ing contest as well: at the end of the 2009, despite his stats, despite his Hall of Fame credentials, and despite being a class teammate and inspiration to his compatriots, Thome was unceremoniously dumped by the Sox. His replacement will go down in Sox lore as the man who began Ozzie's precipitous slide toward the delicious firing we are all waiting for: Mark Kotsay. It was Ozzie who needed Kotsay, to add for some reason "speed" to an American League lineup. Nevermind that Ozzie never took it upon himself to manage a team to compete in the league in which it was competing; no, Ozzie believed he was smarter than all the other American League managers and would not stop bickering with Williams until he could preside over a team with a National League flavor. He got his wish, and Kotsay hit about .230 - with one stolen base. Ozzie's face was so red over the embarrassment of his hand-picked "speedster" that the egg all over it scrambled even before Kenny Williams added to the shame by saying "so there" to Ozzie by going out and getting a slower, fatter, lazier, and far more soft-headed Jim Thome named Adam Dung. If Ozzie had managed Dung, as he was supposed to, he may still have a job. Instead, Ozzie's ego took over again. Despite Dung clearly illustrating he needed a break from lefthanders, Ozzie continued to pencil him into the lineup, most often in the cleanup spot, though sometimes even inexplicably in the #3 spot. Then, when it was clear Dung couldn't hit anything from left or right handers, Guillen still didn't stop, claiming there was no better option on the bench or in the minor leagues than a .170 hitter. It was to be Ozzie's last dig at Williams, who had signed the bovine Dung over Ozzie's objections, and he acted like he knew it, riding it for all he was worth and playing Dung long after it was clear he should have been sitting on the bench. Clearly, Ozzie believed he would win his power struggle with Kenny Williams by embarrassing the General Manager. Mike Ditka took a similar approach right before he lost his job with the Bears, telling the press "I have to play with the cards I'm dealt, gang," while explaining the Bears' inability to compete in the 1992 season. In Ozzie's perfect world, the Sox failure this year, and indeed their inability to finish over .500 in two of the last three seasons (as let's face it, they won't this year), wouldn't have anything to do with him. It would be Kenny's lack of talent causing the failure, and what was poor Ozzie to do except make out the lineup card. Now, thanks to Joe Cowley in today's Sun-Times, we know Ozzie's game is up. His consolation prize is to go manage a pi55 poor team in a market that doesn't give a crap about baseball. He bluffed with a pair of 2's and lost. He deserves everything he gets. And just like that, I like Bozzie. I mean, clearly not a Sox fan given no Sox fan would ever type 2006, but entertaining read.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 06:12 AM) Sons of Anarchy was great again last night. I hope they keep up the momentum. This season is shaping up to be awesome. I think they learned during the dredges of Ireland that we just want to see badass Charming chicanery, and they are delivering. Danny Trejo is the man.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) Entourage, worst series finale ever? I dont think ive seen something "wrap" things up so quickly and out of character unless they were being cancelled al la the OC or North Shore, maybe Prison Break. F*ck that s***ty series finale. How unrealistic. Sloan stands at the airplane and waves to him? This chick who hates Vinny just decides "ok let's get married"? The Ari stuff was solid, though the line that he had enough cash for 5 lifetimes annoyed me because why are you working those hours if you have that? Entourage could have ended three seasons ago, at it's height, and been remembered much better by me. Seriously, end it with the Seth Green Las Vegas episode and it goes down as one of my favorites series' of all-time.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 07:46 AM) Incredible Breaking Bad last night. Gus managed to do exactly what he wanted in driving the wedge between Walt and Jesse. The fight scene was great, and well teased at the beginning. You know Sky is going to get Benke the money, the interesting part is does she figure out a way to launder it to him so that Walt doesn't find out, or does she tell him? Also good how quickly Hank is unraveling Gus's operation. Dude is good. I finally got to watch this last night, as Sunday was dedicated to being a man and watching football. What a fantastic episode. The Skylar s*** is a little stupid, but at least Walt hadn't bugged her car like I initially thought to see if she was still f*cken around on him. They've done a great job of making me like everyone but Walt, such a smart show. The main character has truly become the antagonist, and Gus is entering "Benjamin Linus" territory of brilliantly shady bad dudeness.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) Toews needs to grow up. He isn't representing the organization very well with s*** like this. It's embarrassing. Wow. You're correct, skating around with a bunch of kids for PR is exactly what the organization should avoid. Accidents never happen, and clearly Toews is a Satan-worshiping, child-checking pit stain on this franchise.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) But when it comes to Ozzie Guillen 800 topics is nowhere near enough to contain Soxtalk's seething rage. Quit being so damn mad Steve, holy s***. The only things White Sox that do not make me angry these days are Paul Konerko, Mark Buehrle, Frank Thomas, and AJ Pierzynski.

QUOTE (bozzie @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) My mistake, I thought Adam Dung actually played baseball. But after watching the much-balleyhooed video of him on chisox.com stroking a weak RBI single to right - which is the only highlight of late they can come up with for this guy - I can see where you might get confused. Your tact of coming in guns blazing two months after the rest of us here tired of talking about how Adam Dunn sucks might not have been the best move, yo.

QUOTE (bozzie @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 11:21 AM) Wow, that's a helluva welcome to the board for bozzie . . . but I can't make you famous, fellas. Let's talk baseball, not bozzie . . . Bozzie is a bozo.

QUOTE (bozzie @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 11:02 AM) Sorry, southsider, that the sentiment doesn't fit in with the idealistic idiocy Sox fans continually set themselves up with in believing in dung like Dung, but it's hard to argue with .162. As they say, "if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." If only Adam Dung would take that advice once in a while . . . Damn, dude, you're a f***ing revolutionary. I really had no idea that Adam Dunn f***ing sucked this year. Lord knows the 800 created topics on the subject, the constant "how on God's green Earth did this happen" conversations, or the fact that I want to rip my eyeballs out everytime he comes to bat aren't enough... now BOZZIE'S HERE TO TELL US ALL HOW IT IS. HEY F*CKERS! WE GOT BOZZIE. DUDE HAS ALL THE INSIGHT. NEXT HE'S GOING TO TELL US THAT ALEX RIOS STINKS! SOMEONE MAKE THIS TURD AN ANALYST.
