The KC hitters just look so excited to be facing Freddy. Hopefully he confuses them, but despite the zero runs so far, this looks like BP.

West is an idiot.

I wish this could have happened in Chicago. It'd be awesome to watch two games tomorrow night at the Cell starting at 6pm. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) I'm going to support my boy Jason Bateman tonight and am taking the wife to "The Switch". Looks pretty solid. Wow. Way more heartfelt, funny, and serious than the previews. Such an adult comedy. LOVED IT. I am surprised at how good this movie was, and I expected to enjoy it. Seriously, this might be one of my favorite movies I've seen... I've never smiled so much. Man, did I love that movie.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 05:16 PM) Really? I thought it looked awful. Like unbelievably awful. To each it's own. FWIW the reviews have been good, and we should see some solid Goldbluming in this flick as well. And yes, we should all add "Goldbluming" to our vocabulary as a verb.

SO, i dont see it being all THAT bad. If you never use it, it is in a sense disabled. No you misunderstand. OTHER people can check YOU in as a default setting. Say Joe Friend checks Athomeboy_2000 into XYZ Stripclub, this may or may not be a problem for you.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) You can change the setting to "only me" which I just did. Or disable it entirely.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 06:32 PM) And friends can check in for you with that feature unless you change your settings. Which everyone on Facebook should do by switching it to "disabled". F*cking facebook. Default should NEVER be "enabled".

Cubs fans gave D-Lee the standing O; at least they got that one right.

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 10:21 AM) People really should talk about financial goals before they get married. We did. We have a plan for saving money and building credit before we buy a house, etc. This is a really big reason why living together before marriage is important. A lot of this stuff cannot be hidden when you are both seeing the same bills. Thirded.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 06:06 PM) He has to put Kathy up, its the right move and assures him one more week in the house IMO. And Rachel's dumb ass should know better than to pick a fight with a b****y gay guy who just won POV. He stomped her brains out with words. She is the most annoying person on BB ever. Rachel is ridiculously annoying. I'm glad we've seen the end of her until the last epsiodes. She's not even attractive. Britney will assuredly put up Brendon, then the question is who she puts up against him. It won't be Ragan, Matt, or Lane, so it's got to be one of Enzo/Hayden. I have a feeling Hayden and Brendon will be up. Then the POV where Brendon flourishes could mean anything.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 04:49 PM) Juan Pierre has a .345 OBP on the season and has stolen bases at better than a 75% clip. That's pretty much what you hope for from an effective leadoff hitter, and that's his game. He's taken more walks/been more patient than expected. Andruw Jones has an OPS+ of 105. Andruw Jones has been an above MLB average run producer at the plate this season. Read that sentence again. Andruw Jones has done everything that could have been asked of him this year. Does his average suck? Yes, but he has made every time he puts the bat on the ball count. Furthermore, he's put up an .869 OPS against left handed pitching. That's as ideal of a platoon partner as you can get. And on top of that, he's at worst been adequate defensively, and at best been well above average. Andruw Jones belongs on this roster and in fact Andruw Jones was an ideal platoon partner if we actually wanted to use the rotating DH effectively by moving guys like Quentin to the DH spot to get them extra rest. The problem has been the lack of production from the LH counterpart, not the lack of production by Jones. I wasn't saying Juan Pierre hasn't done what we expected. I'm saying expecting more (ie, an American League, ideal leadoff hitter) like Ozzie has always claimed Pierre could be, was dumb. As for Andruw, consider my ass served.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 04:23 PM) He somehow had 5 kids that were 3 years old. Thats hilarious. He literally had trouble naming them all. I count 4 three year olds, and 7 children in total. All in the last 3 years. Yeah, his wealth will run out pretty quickly.

I've enjoyed Ozzie. It's unfortunate that he's always trying to justify his existence by doing dumbass things like hitting Kotsay 5th, leading off Dewayne Wise, calling Jay Marriotti a 'f*****', etc etc. I do think, perhaps, he has run his course. I get what he's doing in that interview about Jim Thome prior to yesterday's game, I do. But come on, when the grand scheme is to do a rotating DH, you need more talent on the roster. Part of this is Kenny's fault. In the end, he's in charge of the roster, and he knew full-well that Mark freaking Kotsay was going to be a key part of this team. We can't even blame the season on Kotsay. Juan Pierre has proved worthless in most situations, Andruw Jones had no business being on a Major League roster this year, etc. etc. In the end, yes, it'd be nice if we could have a manager who cares a bit more about winning and a little less about being in the spotlight. I'm going to go ahead and change my stance here. IF you fire Ozzie, you better be bringing in a tactician and also give Kenny the full control of his roster.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) I don't want to live on this planet anymore. There's plenty of nice spots on the planet. I'd just go with "in this country".

The NHL is so idiotic. They need to let it die.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 05:35 AM) It's too late for this season, unfortunately. Sorry, I stopped reading after this. I hope it was fun to write, though.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 07:16 PM) Ozzie Guillen seems to spend half the time sucking the Twins off while his team pisses down their collective legs against them, and the other half coming up with various ways to avoid admitting he's made a mistake and for the fans to stop criticizing him because they don't know s*** about baseball and to not watch games if they don't like it. Holy f*** Ozzie will you please STFU. Just once. You'll notice people are talking about Ozzie, and not the losses on the field. This is his plan. He takes the pressure from the players, and still believes the Sox are in this thing. His approach sucks, but it's all the man knows.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) When I watched this on Hard Knocks last night; I was dying of laughter. Dude has some potent juice.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) She cracks me up. The fact they are rarely showing her at all in a bikini intrigues me even more. Wouldn't mind seeing her and Parvati from Survivor in a pillow fight. On AD she's normally rocking the bikini by the jacuzzi. Rachel sure came in guns blazing last night, didn't she? She wound up looking a fool. I'm REALLY excited to see how/when that diamond POV is played and who Matt puts up. In my opinion, now is the time for him to flip on the Brigade and put Hayden up, but he'll probably put Kathy up and she'll be gone.

4-10 against the Twins? They deserve this.
