If Fatburger's hamburgers are bigger than Schoops', then they're on to something.

What the hell has happened to the Yankees. Look at the names of the 3 pitchers they trotted out... Darrell Rasner Dan Giese David Robertson

Djokovic advances 7-6, 6-3 against Youzhny. Jankovic also advances 7-6, 6-1.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 12:55 AM) I tend to disagree. http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/athlete=622/bio/ http://teenvogue.typepad.com/photos/uncate...olympics3_2.jpg The one on the first page of Google images could just be a bad pic. I never said she was ugly with the hair down. Personally, I just feel she looks a lot better with the hair up. Good both ways, but hair up suits her better. Just my opinion.

Just another note on the hot athlete topic, Alicia Sacramone does not look nearly as good with her hair down. Google confirms.

Michael Phelps is really annoying. This has reached ESPN/Tiger Woods proportions.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 11:03 PM) I like how you guys are discussing this in the olympic thread. It is so clear those Chinese girls are under 16, I mean just look at them! KIDS. Yeah, I think it's very likely most of them are under 16. But what does that say about them when 12-16 year olds are beating the s*** out of 16-20 year olds?

Alicia Sacramone, as hot as she is, just choked on the floor exercise. A wipe out and a step out of bounds. Then the next one steps out of bounds too. Clutch.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 10:30 PM) every sport (except soccer, tennis, etc.). Umm, ok?

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 09:42 PM) I love how we (North America) has the best players in every sport: Crosby NHL, Tiger PGA, Phelps whatever it's called, A-Rod MLB, Brady NFL, and Lebron/Kobe NBA. Way to go, Phelpsy! :usa I'm confused...what does that have to do with the Olympics and what relevance does it have? America and Canada are the only countries that play football so thats pretty moot, and IMO, Pujols and Ovechkin have their own case for the MLB and NHL...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) I still can't believe Federer wasn't carrying the flag for his country. He was.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) Who carried the flag for Serbia? Jasna Sekaric, she's a shooter. I would have chosen Djokovic or Sapic, but oh well.

Outside of tennis, Serbia has been a dissapointment. 0-2 in water polo and volleyball, as well as 0-1-1 in soccer. Hell, even in tennis, Ana Ivanovic dropped out due to injury. Nothing is over yet, but a huge disappointment to a country that came in with high expectations. Right now, we're banking on Cavic, Djokovic, and Jankovic to get us some medals. Hopefully Sapic, probably the best water polo player in the world, gets things together with the team and get wins in the next 3 matches, starting against the USA on Thursday.

Everything I've read about this guy is that he has lightning/electric/thunderous/other adjectives type stuff but control has always been the main issue...and a big one at that.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 02:52 AM) I don't know jack about tornadoes, I was being serious, but let me make sure I understand. For the sake of argument, let's say that Topeka, Kansas is the area in the U.S. that is most prone to tornadoes. If Manhattan had been built where Topeka stands today, that area would be equally prone to tornadoes?? From what I understand, yes. The landscape of a city has little to do with the weather. For example, St. Louis and the surrounding area had had numerous tornadoes, some quite large. Brooklyn also had a tornado last year and Atlanta had one this year as well..

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 4, 2008 -> 08:33 PM) The lightning is nonstop over here on the south side... The sirens went off near my house for a good 20 minutes. High winds and monster rains, but no tornado. Like you mentioned, I'd never seen a display of lightning like that and the thunder was loud and continuous as well. After about 20 minutes of clear weather, another monster storm pelted us. My basement is currently flooded about 4-6 inches.

Left on 106th, right on Torrence Ave, left on 103rd, merge onto I94/90 W, take exit 55 (35th St) merging on to LaSalle, turn left on 35th. DONE. 18-20 minutes.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 11:26 PM) People need to stop coming here when they're sober. Nothing is worse than hearing an asshole recount what he drank last night. Do you honestly think anyone cares how "f***ed up" you were? If you were so "f***ed up" tell me what happened. Tell me something funny, interesting. Not how many beers you had. Your drinking tolerance doesn't impress anyone. This thread has severely lost its luster. Give it 2-3 more weeks until people get out of their summer jobs and head back to school...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:43 PM) Tony and I get along good I thought..oh well. We disagree a lot, but there seems to be a level of respect. And I think you would probably want to take a step back and erase this also. Thanks for ruining a thread that was started to share legit information. Legit information? We're in 2nd place. Thanks. I didn't think a real Sox fan would know this. You're the man.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 03:59 PM) The sox play 16 of their next 19 at home. the Twins go on the road. thoughts? THIS. SEAS...f*** it.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:48 PM) Please elaborate using statistics. Pitchers/hitters now > pitchers/hitters then. There's my statistics.

We've had this argument before. Ruth was a fat white man who annihilated the pitching of other fat white men. Bonds > Ruth. As is Aaron, and eventually Rodriguez will be as well.

Barry Bonds Randy Johnson Hanley Ramirez Tony Gwynn Pete Rose
