QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) Dexter has 5 seasons and the 6th season should probably start in the Summer or Fall. I just got done catching up with Breaking Bad seasons 1 and 2. I saw them before, but decided to catch up on the entire series again. I'm currently waiting for season 3 to be released on DVD so I can Netflix it. I'm pretty excited because I didn't watch a single episode of that season. EDIT: I'm also pretty sure that the next season of Dexter will be the last. It definitely should be. They are running season 3 right now on AMC on Thursdays after midnite. I think they are on the second or third episode.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 01:27 PM) yea - what's up with that? i thought that his injury was caused in large put by his throwing motion. didn't they change that? His regular motion isn't supposed to be the problem. It is the drop down.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) It appears I'm the only one who has no idea who this person is, and what it has to do with the number 6. She was a character on the show "blossom" in the 80's (made Joey Lawrence "famous") and was the lead characters best friend. The characters name was Six.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 12:46 PM) Actual fatal airline incidents are so incredibly rare, that I can't imagine why people would pick one airport in the US over another for that reason. I mean, its like comparing a 0.0005% chance to a 0.0004% chance. Besides, I can think of at least a couple airline crashes at O'Hare that killed passengers, but I can't think of any at Midway off-hand (the SW flight that skidded off the runway killed two people in a car, but no one on board). The approaches are also very different at MDW. They descend very quickly as opposed to most other airports, and they can also involve hard banking maneuvers during those landings.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 10:38 AM) The fourth season doesn't start until the Summer. Thanks. I am watching the replays on AMC, so I am trying to figure out how much is left. Also, same question for Dexter.... What season is it in?

This needs to be a reality show.

Oh say can you see?

It will be interesting to see if it is worth it to have multiple superstars when the next CBA is done. It could very well lead to a situation where a team has three stars and a D-league team to surround them because that is all that can be afforded. This trade will have to be judged in that retrospect. Another thing that could happen is that draft picks could become very important in the next salary structure because those are cheap and fixed cost players.

This is the time to go on a streak. We need points badly.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 10:28 AM) All I've ever seen is the incident where he high-fived fans after hitting a big homer. The other thing with the fight is clearly started by the other team. I swear, people think Lastings Milledge = Delmon Young. I've read about statutory rape and other sexual assault allegations, on top of all of the other stuff.

So exactly how far along is Breaking Bad? Which season and what episode?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 08:37 AM) I could post some pretty graphic, terrible images of what Qaddafi is paying mercenaries to do to their own citizens. But we must keep US/Israeli interests at the front of any discussion. Leaving aside international diplomatic relations, I'm not sure what the US should be doing here. The protesters deserve solidarity and support, but should the US (or other countries) use military force to stop the atrocities being carried out against the Libyan people? If they're bombing their own people with planes, should those planes be brought down? The question would be, "are you willing to pay $5 for a gallon of gas", which is exactly why we won't. The american public would have a s***fit.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 09:47 AM) There's a difference between giving credit where credit is due and giving them a blowjob whenever they possibly can. I haven't heard a thing that wasn't true.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 06:07 PM) So you think Minnesota is great and should be destroying the Sox every time they go to Minneapolis? I read on this very board how the Twins would lose their home field advantage moving outside. It didn't improve the White Sox results. The attitude towards the Twins needs to change or the results will not. Who in the White Sox organization said that the Sox should be getting destroyed by Minnesota?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 06:17 PM) Atleast one team won't be bidding on Pujols Drats! Good.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) If Lovie Smith ever went on and on about how well run the Packers were, even 1/100th of how much Ozzie strokes the Twins, it would be considered a fireable offense by 99.99% of Bears fans. For some reason White Sox fans have tolerated the White Sox stroking of the Minnesota organization for years. 2011 needs to be the year it stops. Sox fans aren't the meatheads that Bears fans can be. We can accept the truth.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 11:09 AM) Well, there's a difference between repeated usage of the filibuster at historic levels to stop bills that have been debated and discussed and negotiated for months and stopping this train wreck of a bill that's had no discussion or negotiation but has a very big impact on the state of Wisconsin for years to come. Of course there is a difference. The Democrats are doing it.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Feb 20, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) This is absolutely disgusting behavior: Wounded Iraq vet jeered at Columbia By ANNIE KARNI Last Updated: 9:06 AM, February 20, 2011 Posted: 12:10 AM, February 20, 2011 Comments: 93 More Print Columbia University students heckled a war hero during a town-hall meeting on whether ROTC should be allowed back on campus. "Racist!" some students yelled at Anthony Maschek, a Columbia freshman and former Army staff sergeant awarded the Purple Heart after being shot 11 times in a firefight in northern Iraq in February 2008. Others hissed and booed the veteran. Maschek, 28, had bravely stepped up to the mike Tuesday at the meeting to issue an impassioned challenge to fellow students on their perceptions of the military. "It doesn't matter how you feel about the war. It doesn't matter how you feel about fighting," said Maschek. "There are bad men out there plotting to kill you." MATTHEW MCDERMOTT CLASH: Veteran Anthony Maschek (above, with fiancée Angela O'Neill) faced heckling from fellow Columbia students over ROTC (below). J.C. RICE Several students laughed and jeered the Idaho native, a 10th Mountain Division infantryman who spent two years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington recovering from grievous wounds. Maschek, who is studying economics, miraculously survived the insurgent attack in Kirkuk. In the hail of gunfire, he broke both legs and suffered wounds to his abdomen, arm and chest. He enrolled last August at the Ivy League school, where an increasingly ugly battle is unfolding over the 42-year military ban there. More than half of the students who spoke at the meeting -- the second of three hearings on the subject -- expressed opposition to ROTC's return. Many of the 200 students in the audience held anti-military placards with slogans such as, "1 in 3 female soldiers experiences sexual assault in the military." The university has created a task force polling 10,000 students on the issue, but would not release the vote tally of the 1,300 who have already responded. In 2005, when the university last voted to reject ROTC's return, it cited the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. That policy was overturned in December, but resistance remains. "Transpeople are part of the Columbia community," said senior Sean Udell at the meeting, referring to the military's current ban on transgender soldiers. Faculty members are divided. "Universities should not be involved in military activities," Sociology Professor Emeritus Herbert Gans told The Post. "Columbia should come out against spending $300 billion a year on unnecessary wars." A group of 34 faculty colleagues, including historian Kenneth Jackson and former Bloomberg adviser Esther Fuchs, plan to announce their support of ROTC tomorrow. José Robledo, 30, a Columbia student who commutes to Fordham University for ROTC coursework, said he found the treatment of Maschek abhorrent. "The anti-ROTC side has been disrespectful and loud. They hiss and they jeer," he said. "It's been to the detriment of the argument." akarni@nypost.com Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhatt...N#ixzz1EWx9Igqu I'm still trying to understand how the left can vilify the right for using the filibuster too much, and then applaud their party running away to Illinois in Wisconsin. I will say the cut and run strategy they used there is entirely consistent with how they view our military.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 20, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) The pitching would have been less of an issue had there been somebody who didn't hit .230 getting half the PAs at DH. White Sox pitchers led baseball in FIP and fWAR last season. That wasn't the team's weakness. The White Sox had the worst OPS and wOBA at the DH position last season, that is a weakness. I would say the latter had more to do with the White Sox losing than the former. Well technically there is a pretty good chance of that happening again this year...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 20, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) There is zero way they do not accept this. This is the best possible scenario, actually, because that team with a lights out Gallinari dropping 3s would be scary. It all depends on where Anthony is willing to sign.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Feb 20, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) Prior's mechanics were advertised as "perfect" for years. I'll never forget the article detailing them, and how perfect they were.
