QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) Does anyone else have the sneaking suspicion that the Sox will offer Manny a one year incentive-laden deal? I'd be down. It's easy to blame Manny, but we were 4.5 out when we got him, and the team has given up like 6-10 runs per game since he was acquired. Our pitching staff has been HORRIBLE down the stretch, and the possibility of coming back before Manny even swung a bat for us was hard to fathom.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) 4 of their last 8 meetings have been 19 point or higher blowouts God damn stats always mess with the actual truth.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) I'm not sure if that's the one, as I keep my work computer muted, but The Departed trailer with Gimme Shelter playing is definitely one of the best ones I've ever seen. Indeed, then it goes to Dropkick Murphy's and gets you pumped.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 09:50 PM) I don't know bout you guys but I love movie trailers and I didn't think we've ever had a thread like this so I'll start us off. Post your faves yo! I saw the thread title and came here to post Jurassic Park. You bastard, you led with it. That being said, here's a good one.

Ok, cool. Get signed up, b****es.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 10:28 AM) Another top notch episode of Mad Men last night. Every episode, I just wish the s*** was on HBO and I could expect Christina Hendricks' giant boobs to flop out.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 10:48 AM) The first was called "ridiculously long" because that's the author's tag line; it's how you know it's a Posnanski. This one being called "ridiculously long" just ain't right. Actually, the author's tagline is "Curiously long".

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 08:36 AM) I thought it was great. My favorite scene was this: Affleck: I need your help...I can't tell you what it's about, you can never ask me about it later, and we're going to hurt some people. Renner: Whose car we taking? Yeah, it was awesome.

The debut of Boardwalk Empire was fantastic.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) I have an urge to start dragging up posts about how awful this team is and how they're going 4-12, but I'll decline. They look bomb-ass right now. Today we got the Jay Cutler we all thought we were getting. Martz = creative. I like. F*cking hester even looked legit today!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) 2/10 in the KW era. And that ratio is pathetic. I actually prefer to look at it as 1/10, honestly, where over 30 teams want to be there, and two teams have two of those, so really, it's 1/8.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) haha okay I misread a post in another world. How are we going about teams? take whomever you want, we'll be fantasy drafting. i dont really know how to limit teams, im sure that's an option as we get started. did we play with all 32 teams last year? that might be what we have to do... in that case it might be fun to have conference restriction so we at least hit each other once in awhile.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) Big fan of Punch Drunk Love. Yuck.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 01:55 PM) If youre having the fantasy tonight probably cant make it, Friday is a good day for drinking. But I just havent even had time to play. What? Who said anything about a draft tonight? Like I'm going to stay in and play video games on a Friday! At the earliest it'll be some night during the week next week.

The Twins are 42-16 since the break. You can't win em all, tip your cap to the f***ing insane-o-twins.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 08:08 AM) People have been saying that about the Royals for 10 years too. LOL, no doubt. I'll wait until they actually break out.

QUOTE (IceCreamPants @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 10:32 PM) Wasn't season 1 like 3 f***ing years ago? Its on HBO right? I have to tell the old lady to not disconnect the HBO and switch to Showtime for Dexter. To save money we switch out channels for the other on cable from season to season but I forgot this was coming back on. Your old lady should slap you silly. Dexter >>>>> 6 episodes of EB&D.

I thought it was quite funny, and we were back to the basics instead of super over-the-top. It was over before it started, though.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 07:59 AM) Previews make it look like another The Departed, which was one of the most over-hyped and overrated movies in recent memory (from, IMO, the most overrated director currently making movies). Mebbe it just wasn't your taste and clearly neither is Scorsese. The Departed was a fantastic movie on many levels, in my opinion. I'm excited to see The Town tonight, as Ben WHOfleck's other film, and directorial debut, Gone Baby Gone, was so good. Plus, who doesn't love Jon Hamm and the guy from the bomb*? *Attempt to sound like Jerry Stiller when he describes The Net as "the one with the girl from The Bus."

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 02:35 PM) Blah blah, puff piece. This team is where it is, 8 games out and financially strapped for 2011 because of Kenny , the gambler. Go gamble in Oakland Did you even read it? (no). It talks as much about his failures as it does his successes. It was a fantastic article and interview.

I'm going on Saturday night, and I'm treating it like the World Series. This was a fun team to watch for most of the summer, and they earned my respect. The Twins are just too damn good this year.

It's going to be hilarious.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) To be fair, I don't think there is a TV show in existence that you don't like. To be fair, you have no idea what you're talking about. One would be in the vast minority to say they grew tired of Eastbound & Down after 4 episodes. Most people I know are very excited for MOHR.
