QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 08:37 AM) Adu needs to play. It can't be surprising he hasn't progressed much when he doesn't play all the time at Benfica and outside of the Olympics (where I thought he looked good) hasn't had a major role on any team yet. He's 20. I still believe he has enough talent and promise to become a mainstay for the US eventually. He looked good also in the U-20? World Cup in Canada too a few summers ago. Guy just needs some PT this upcoming season. Maybe that will lead to some minutes off the bench in 2010. But I'm not holding my breath on Adu contributing much between now and then.

The only celebrity death that would affect me would be Dane Cook. I'll be so happy when that day comes.

Is it sad that I've watched all 8 Gold Cup match so far? So far its been really lackluster but I guess thats because of the lack of star power. The US looked nice but it was Grenada. Wasnt too impressed with Adu. Hopefully it was just rust. Rogers looked good.

$100,005 please.

Lesnar by TKO in the 3rd. I think Lesnar just dominates the stand up and will knock Mir down a few times before finishing him off for good in the 3rd. GSP by decision. I see GSP trying to use the same game plan as he had against Fitch. I think this might be a 48-47 type fight. Hendo by easy decision. Thiago by TKO in the 3rd. There's got to be atleast 1 upset on the PPV right? Akiyama sub in the 1st. Coleman by TKO in the 2nd. Going to throw some money on the Hammer at +300. Odds are too high IMO for this fight and worth a shot.

I used to post at Sherdog but the forum is full of morons and exceptionally angry s***-talkers who take everything personal. They do have some great posters, but they're like little vessels of hope floating atop a sea of bile. And Jake Rossen sucks ass too, as do most of their writers who care more about prose, attempts at humor, and shock value than thoroughness and accuracy, although Jordan Breen is an exception, and Quadros is awesome but I think he's just their radio guy, or at least he was before. Plus none of the fighters even post there anymore I don't think. I know Bas and Baroni used to, but I hadn't seen either on in a while when I stopped going there, and Baroni is on the UG a lot. UG for discussions, MMAJunkie for news IMO. Down with Sherdog. Yeah, MMA.tv is 1000x better. I post on the OG but the UG is a good read unless its the day on an event. Sherdog has seems like they are still bitter at the UFC for the whole TUF leaking a few years back. I cant believe ESPN hitched their wagons to s***dog.

So sad. RIP

He came in as a 21 year old rookie and hit 37 HR's on a team that had a few guys who probably was on the juice and a manager who didnt care if his players did. I'm going to assume that he was on something.

I thought talks have stalled with Eto'o because he wants half of the transfer as a signing bonus. Maybe I'm wrong.

2 home games for my 9th birthday back in 1990. But I was rooting for the A's in those games. About a dozen games in Tampa when the Sox are in town, including Game 1 last year. Use to live in Sarasota so I went to a lot of ST games when I was in elementary school. Either at Payne Park or Ed Smith. Also would see the FSL White Sox a lot back in those days.

Damon wouldve failed a test back when he was in high school. This "fake" list is probably still atleast 75% correct.

Davies had a nice tournament. Going to be exciting to see if he can build off of this for the Gold Cup. But him not giving Landon the ball on a couple of counters in the second half was HUGE. Donovan was a beast these 5 games and he's got to know to give it up to Landon on the run. That goal in the 46' was like a kick to the nuts. Oh well.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 04:25 PM) They stopped attacking, and instead tried to milk the clock. I wouldnt say that. They used the same plan versus Spain and in the first half vs Brazil and it worked. Just happened Brazil finished in the second half and the US didnt really counter as well as they did.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 04:18 PM) lol,USA down 2-3 after being up 2 nil... Almost as funny as Mexico watching the WC2010 from their homes next summer.

You can just see the confidence all over the field with the US. Lets keep it up!

Wow, what a final 50 minutes of the 3rd place game.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 06:53 PM) 16 games until the break. Unless they go 13-3, they're done. Schedule is too tough past the break. You might as well stop watching effective today if you believe that.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) Team's bad

If youre going to play for the HR, why not use Fields in the spot Wise batted?

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 06:17 PM) Don't say "f*** off AJ" and "f*** AJ"...that's ridiculous. It's not ridiculous when its the first pitch of an AB. If it was 3 or 4 pitches into the AB then that sucks but it happens. What is ridiculous is being happy the lead is cut down to 1 when the bases were loaded with less than 2 outs. This game should be atleast tied.

f*** off AJ. Useless.

Why is Contreras still pitching?
