Damn!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) kind of reminds me of the 06 kitties, lots of base hits That's the last thing we need is for them to find their groove now.

13 hits, 1 K, dang.

Past time to yank Jose, man. 'Nother run scores.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 07:03 PM) As it stands now, Florida isn't a toss up. Solid McCain IMO. Leaning McCain, at least, maybe not solid. Depends on whether the various Rovian caging schemes and other minority voter disenfranchisement strategies are successfully pulled off, I'd wager. I almost thought about putting that in green.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 05:29 PM) Net neutrality? That's a top 5 Presidential issue for you? I don't know if either candidate has even given that any thought. Just curious, what makes you feel it is so important? It doesn't seem to be on the radar of the candidates, no. But my biggest concern at least, is that if net neutrality ends then the New Media is going to go the way of the Old Media in a hurry –- corporate agenda-driven monopolistic viewpoints passed off as investigative reporting and news. Bill Moyers touched on precisely this during his keynote address at this past weeken's National Conference for Media Reform. His address was outstanding, btw. Amy Godman played it in its entirety on Democracy Now yesterday and it's worth finding on the website. Edit: The Moyers keynote is up on YouTube too.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 03:04 PM) Hmm, well how difficult is it to do that? I've been looking at the 21 inch thing they have at best buy for like 1500. The pic and video features look great, but I was worried I would never be able to game on it. But even if you can I dunno that it's worth it. How many graphics cards are made for a Mac? Any? It's a snap. I'm happy enough just using the Bootcamp beta, but you have to reboot the computter to switch operating systems. With something like Parallels, you don't even need a restart, you just switch between systems like switching between open apps. If the unit you are looking at is an iMac, you don't have any display card options and iMacs are very limited in upgradability. But it's equipped with a ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB so it shoudl be able to keep up.

Second Amendment rights makes the list but not First Amendment rights, eh?? Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Not only is free speech apparently not important in this thread, it could even get you shot!

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) I would rather see a White Sox vs. Nationals world series. Oooh, just think of the historic aspect of that matchup. B)

Here's a question for Kid Gleason or any of the other resident horror flick fans. I just saw Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. Sure, it was predictable in it's big survivor girl "plot twist", and the end credits "shock ending was campy", but that was probably necessary for teh film to nail all the archetypal slasher film elements. I actually thought it was really well done, sintelligently written, funny, and a lot of fun. Any opinions?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 08:10 AM) People on this board were going way overboard with it and quite frankly it started getting annoying Here? on SoxTalk?!? [feigns disbelief] The hell you say!!

Very cool. Did JR spring for booze and hookers too?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 09:29 PM) but for the fourth time around, please Lucas, feel free to come up with a different ending. I pretty much agree with that. The new film was every bit as predictable as Last Crusade, and the ending was weak, but I guess since I expected so little from the new on I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't gawdawful.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 09:15 PM) since i don't know how to black highlight, I'll just say in vague terms, the conclusion of the blanchette's character was such a copout, so t of d like, and just plain dumb that it made the conclusion evenr Agreed, it was very predictable. But it did adhere to the just desserts formula that had been established for the series. Toth, Mola Ram, and Elsa and Donovan all suffered the same sorts of ends brought about by their avarice for whatever it was they were trying to get hold of. Mac suffered the same sort of predictable demise in this latest film as a result of his greed. Sometimes the demise is supernatural, sometimes not, but it always a "just desserts" payback type thing. That formulaic storytelling is probably the reason I didn't like Last Crusade more. It didn't break any new ground as far as inventive storytelling. That was pretty true of Temple of Doom as well, but the paint-by-numbers formula had not yet been firmly established by the second installment.

What a fun homestand that was!
