Bulls ftw!

A source told AOL Fanhouse's Ed Price on Friday that he is "certain" Rays right-hander Matt Garza will be traded this winter, probably to the Cubs. That'd be a nice get for the Cubs.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) This game is this week's "title belt" matchup. This means that if after the 1st Super Bowl victory by the Packers they were awarded a hypothetical title belt they would have to defend it during each regular season and playoff game. The first team that beat them got the belt, and the first team that beat the new belt holder got the belt, so on and so on. Basically if football worked like boxing this would be a championship game. Just a fun anecdote. What a waste of someone's time.

What great timing for such a story! Hey everyone! Manny wasn't Manny because he was injured even though he didn't know it! Come give him money!!!

Uncharted 3 will be f***ing fantastic.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) Anyone play NBA2k11 with the new update? I think it sucks big time. Everyone has a really fast release. Guys like Jordan and Kobe have no hangtime on their jumper. It seems like if anyone touches you, the animation for a dunk changes to a layup right away. Turnovers were wayyyyyy jacked up, if you go in the air to do a jump pass like Rose does in real life, you can bet there will be a turnover. Also, at times your player won't respond to what you want when the shot clock is winding down. I played a game against my brother, did a cross move and attempted to shoot with Rose at the basket for an easy bucket and he didn't shoot. Instead he was called for a travel. It's happened to me a few times. The worse of them all is the ball disappearing on me for 3 quarters of a game. It seems like they waited for Elite to give up and then just released this crappy product. I haven't had any complaints about the new update.

This is an interesting deal. Bruce clearly hasn't hit the heights that he was supposed to just yet, but at age 23 rocked an .846 OPS. I think this is a really smart move for the Reds.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 09:26 AM) Oh yeah. It's really that simple! But I digress. I hate JP. I can't help it. I will cheer him because he plays for my favorite team. But I can't be phony. Thing is there's other players I hate more like Jeff Francoeur. I hate watching guys make millions to be mediocre at what they do. Almost everyone in the MLB if they survive 3+ years makes "millions" sadly. I'd rather have Pierre leading off than some of the jokers we've run out there in the past. Pierre started out really slowly, but the second half of last year he looked more like the player he's always been... he hit .295 with a .357 on base percentage and 36 steals against 7 caught stealing after the All-Star Break last year. Now more familiar with the league (come on, the dude had played 11 seasons in the NL, there had to be some adjustment), and more familiar with a lot of the pitchers he'll see in the division, I'd bet Pierre hits .300. There's way worse guys to complain about than Juan Pierre. In a down season dude almost snagged 70 bases.

I find it weird that Santo's funeral is being televised. I knew some weird Cubs fans truly idolized that goofball, but televised? He wasn't a freaking President.

Nice, I get to try out Swype BETA for Android.

Community was an epic fail last night, while The Office continued it's run of being really, really funny over the past 4-5 episodes. Sunny was great. 30 Rock was ok.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) 105 of those at bats came with the Sox in 2005. Ozzieball.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 04:42 PM) Not that this necessarily means anything, but Swisher from the leadoff spot was unwatchable. I don't have the numbers, nor do I care enough to get them, but wasn't his OBP there decent in his few PA's? I think OBP>Speed from the spot but I think a mix is very desirable. In 106 at bats leading off in his career, he has a .351 OBP with a .672 OPS. His next worst is batting 6th, where he puts up a .780 OPS. Your memory serves you well. The Sox sure sold low on his ass. He has been incredibly valuable 4 of the last 5 seasons. Guess which one he played on the South Side!

X-Men Arcade coming to PSN on 12/14 and XBL on 12/15. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/113/1139528p1.html This is amazing news! It will have online co-op.

.337 career on base percentage

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) It's a great time to have league pass right now. Kevin Love, Michael Beasley, Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, John Wall, Russell Westbrook, ect. Say what you want about the current state of the NBA, but it sure as s*** ain't lacking elite/young talent. I find with NBA TV that I don't need League Pass. Each night on Gametime it's basically the NBA's version of NFL Redzone. Either way, yes, the league has tons of awesome talent. J4L, I run an awesome keeper NBA fantasy league, PM me if you want to be in it next season. Trust me, you'd like it.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Reinsdorf has a long and storied habit of presiding over some pretty terrible ad campaigns. I did like the AJ/Buehrle commercial last year though. That was a nice change of pace. And the original grinder rules was innovative. Grinder Rules was fantastic. I'm surprised Boyer went with this, or at worst I'm surprised even in their haste he allowed something that could have been designed by someone with 1 class worth of Photoshop 101 to touch the sky as a billboard.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 12:03 PM) Did he say anything noteworthy? Nah, it was fluff and laughter and revealed nothing.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) Somehow, that's an apt typo, with the adopted meaning of the word "To Bork". I like typing borken a lot, it's something carried over from another message board. I should have gone with "Merika Borken" though so y'all got it. Still, f*** this.

I'm so angry. 75% of Americans are in favor of repeal. The defense secretary is in favor of repeal. A huge majority of both houses are in favor of repeal. The military is overwhelmingly in favor of repeal. The joint chiefs of staff are in favor of repeal. ...and yet it fails Country borken.

I hate this country. You say freedom and liberty, and I hear tons and tons and tons of bulls***.
