QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 09:18 AM) I find it funny how the Tea Party paints Obama as a socialist, fascist, communist, etc. even though if this were 1978 his policies would equal that of a moderate Republican. I think it is funny the same people who bristle so hard at those kind of labels are the first to celebrate the exact same thing being done to the Tea Party's.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 09:24 AM) Who thinks Hossa's in trouble? Maybe its just the fan in me, but I thought Ovechkin's was worse (iirc, Campbell was turned completely around and Alex took more of a run, whereas Hossa took the Pred more from the side and from a shorter gap). Eddie O sure didn't do the Hawks any favors by making the comparison on national tv. Trotz said the same thing in the post game.

No updates? Too bad, I was particularly fond of him running past a fly ball.

Sad thing is, I got the movie here at home and just doesn't excite me to watch it despite the reviews. I am Waiting to see it on Redbox.

He probably gets emails all of the time offering to extend him...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 06:00 AM) Has there been a worse everyday position player in baseball than Carlos Lee? Warning: anyone under 17 should be accompanied by at least 2 adults when viewing these numbers. BA: .143 HR: 0 RBI: 3 OBP: .169 SLG: .175 OPS: .344 BB%: 3.1 K%: 19.1 LD% 5.9% WAR: -1.1 Only 65 PA. But that's just bad. That was an awful contract the day he signed it. If you knew someone would get fat and lazy, it was Carlos.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) ARod bypassed Boras in his last contract extension. Frank Thomas did it with us too. He went straight to Jerry for his last contract.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) I think it's against the rules for an organization to bypass a player's agent and approach the player directly. However, I believe a player can bypass his own agent and contact a team directly if he wishes. Exactly. Players can do what they want.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) Jenks could easily find a groove as well. With the salary he is going to be in line for, he would have to be like he was when he got up here.

I got my new HD-DVR Friday right before the game, since then the Sox have two walk off wins, and the Hawks have one... coincidence? I think not.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 06:28 PM) I wish the NBA would go back to 3 out of 5 for the first round. This first round is taking way too long. Any team that loses 3 out of 5 probably wouldn't win 4 out of 7 or the NBA title. I know it is about extra revenue, but it just takes waaaaay too long. At least play every other day and no two days off in between games. I agree. There is no reason for the Bulls to play once in a four day period.

What a gutsy finish by the Hawks. Down a man on a major penalty, with time running out and an empty net to tie it. Then Hossa jumps out of the box after the penalty expired and pounded it home for the W. Hopefully this breaks Nashville's back.

Really nice first period. They have kept the game at their pace, and it shows.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) For those who have Comcast, they are dropping the price of an HD-DVR to $8 a month. I think I am going to pop for it. I went ahead and order it, and picked it up today. Let me just say that walk offs look sexy in HD. They are even sexier when rewound and watched again.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) So, bumpity bump. The right wingers are making fun of Obama and Joe taking three airplanes to NYC for earth day. Hey dumbasses, get the hell over it. They're entitled to it, and move on to issues that matter. Funny how this came up only a week or two we talked about this. This shows I'm not a hypocrite. It's funny because its earth day...

Ah yes, distraction from the fact that the Federal government has completely failed in the area of immigration for generations now.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) fathom, I told you that the fuse was lit.

MR JONES AND ME!!!!

Thornton is just awesome.

Matt hitting 98 on the gun tonight. Wow.

The only chance to get something for Jenks is if someone is desperate at the trade deadline.
