A SB? He melts my heart.

I love Gordon Beckham.

Holy balls, Alexei made that look ridiculously easy.

That was as close as you can get to a balk without it actually being a balk.

I wish Halladay and Ricciardi would just go the hell away already.

Raburn is the king of just missing a line drive.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 07:01 PM) I've said it before...Wade's family is telling anyone that will listen that he will not be signing with Chicago this offseason. The Bulls don't want him and Rose in the backcourt together, and they have let him know that. Not that I don't think its true, because I've been saying a Rose/Wade backcourt isn't optimal for a while now, but how do you know this?

GORDO!

Great inning Clayton.

Is it, money or women to funny beginnings, tragic endings I can make a million and STILL not get enough of spending And since my life is based on sinning, I'm hellbound Rather be buried than be worried, living held down My game plan to be trained and, military Mind of a Thug Lord, sittin in the cemetery Caught, I've been lost since my adolescence, calling to Jesus Balling as a youngster, Wondering if he sees us Young black male, crack sales got me three strikes Living in jail, this is hell, enemies die Wonder when we all pass is anybody listening?

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 04:17 PM) Somehow I believe you wouldnt be posting on this game had the US won. So we basically have a mod trolling now. Get over it. I rarely post about US soccer. All throughout the tournament, the US was awesome and they rocked and yadda yadda but you get your asses handed to you and respond with "Congrats, your b-team beat out b/c team." GMAB.

5-0? Ouch.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 03:39 PM) This is pointless. For a while there I actually thought you had some semblance of intelligence gut you've completely disproved that today. You basically just called him a moron without actually saying moron. Watch it.

There is nothing more satisfying to me than sitting out in horribly cold weather for 10 hours, shooting a deer, dropping it, processing it yourself, and then making some venison sausage or venison gulash out of it. I don't understand this thread at all. If you kill something and eat it, I have no problem with it whatsoever. I wonder if bears feel remorse when they tear up and eat a living salmon. Or if lions feel bad when they're hanging off some animal and eating it alive. To me, if you're killing an animal and putting it to good use, it's perfectly ok. But I certainly don't advocate killing a deer, or mortally wounding it, and just leaving it there. PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 11:27 PM) Eh I'd say Rugby's actually thr #3 sport in Australia now (behind Australian Rules Football and Soccer which has exploded down here since the last World Cup when we made the 2nd round). No no, danman knows more about Australia than you. Get over yourself.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:40 PM) Since he thinks Americans shouldnt talk about soccer, maybe he shouldnt talk about baseball anymore since he wants to claim Serbia.. That's fine. Do you prefer I leave the board?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) For being soccer challenged the US national team has done pretty well lately. I believe that I watched them beat Spain and that their B/C team is in the Concacaf final. You can say the US is "retarded for not liking soccer", but I dont really think that statement has any basis in fact. Its that the MLS is not the best league in the world, and US fans are not going to shell out money to see the equivalent of minor league soccer. As the teams get better as the US national team gets better, things will change, but right now the US is barely a top 10 team in soccer, whereas in most other major US sports they are easily top 5 in the world (Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey) with the US leagues generally being considered the top league. So my question is should every team that doesnt do as well as the US, also be banned from talking about soccer? Since 1990 the US has made every World Cup, reaching the quarterfinals in 2002. They have won CONCACAF tournaments, they finished 2nd in the Confederations Cup. So maybe they arent one of the 7 teams to win a World Cup, but if only those 7 countries can talk about soccer, then why are you in this thread? Your not Brazilian, Italian, German, Argentinian, Uruguian, French or English. US soccer is growing whether you want to admit it or not. They may not be the best team yet, but they have a good chance of becoming one of the better teams over time. Only the top leagues can talk about soccer or the people from the countries who won the World Cup? I don't recall ever saying that. I do know, however, that the US is probably the only country on Earth where soccer isn't #1. Sorry, it's my opinion. It has less to do with the actual national team than it does everything else that has to do with soccer in the US. And Yugoslavia had quite a bit of success in the World Cup and in European championships before all the wars occurred, so I don't get your point. My favorite team won the Champions League in 1991 out of Beograd, so ya.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 08:19 PM) When I was a kid, I thought getting spanked all the time was child abuse, mom & dad don't love me, blah, blah blah. But I'll tell ya what, I'm glad they did as it's helped me as a person in life become respectful, outgoing, polite, mature, etc.. Sure I can be a bad ass out here, but I know I'm not that kid acting a fool in public, or in a jail cell doing something stupid. I can also tell the difference between me and my sister who is my age, and my little brother who is about 7-8 years younger than me, on how wild he is cause of my parents getting older raising him. Well said.

Hell ya I got spanked. If you f*** up, you deserve to pay for it. I'm glad my parents and grandparents did it when I was young, because you learn how not to step out of line. I'll most certainly be spanking my kids, but not to the extent of the wooden spoons and frying pans like my grandma did to me. The thing that backfired with me was that when my dad spanked me, I always thought it was funny because of the look on his face. That didn't help.

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) I think Mitchell would be a great #9 hitter, Danks seems to have more OBP potential to me. Disagree. If there was one thing that Mitchell actually polished in college, it was his ability to draw a walk and get on base.
