Wow, I got here late to see we have managed....1 hit?

0-9 with 6 K's coming up for us in the 9th!

So ESPN3 via XBox, for those random off games to watch, and DirecTV of course for the rest. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 12:22 PM) Clearly he is getting a Kegerator in there. That thought occurred to me, but I must admit, I don't drink that much these days. Once the water is gone, I'm sure I'll refill it with beer.

3.......days...........away........ The theater is up and ready... The fridge and snacks are stocked! Let's get this 2012 season going already!

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:49 AM) Oh, he's definitely bad trouble. I never said he was a model citizen. But there's plenty of guys in college football who have bad attitudes and big egos that are able to keep it check to the point where they don't get kicked off the team. Most of them are at least selfish enough to follow the rules not because they agree with them, but because they want that NFL paycheck. And I know for a fact that it wasn't just substance abuse. If it was just drug-related, he would have had a 1 game suspension. From what I know (and this is from a friend's friend who works for the football team so it may not be 100% accurate): this "indefinite" suspension was caused because he flipped out on the coaches and said some malicious/ridiculous things, so they had no choice other than to suspend him. Of course, that stemmed from the fact that he was going to get suspended for the 1st game b/c he failed a drug test. It wasn't the failed drug test. It was how he handled the news of his failed drug test and subsequent suspension. Regardless, most guys on the team didn't like Rogers. So I can only hope this is one of those "addition by subtraction" situations. I'm most interested to see how Tennessee's running game looks this year. It was pretty abysmal last year, and thats not something I'm used to seeing from Tenn. I also read Rogers' issues might have stemmed from some plagiarism in classes to stay eligible. Who the hell knows though, regardless it is a shame that these knuckleheads can't stay focused long enough to survive 3 years in college.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 05:31 PM) Well, yeah, but you know what I mean. It could have been any number of players and I wouldn't have cared much. But it just happens to be that our Top 5 in the country/future 1st round draft pick at WR decides to be a freaking idiot and blows up at the coaches and essentially gets kicked off the team. It's not like he robbed someone or was selling drugs. He mouthed off to Dooley and is paying the price. With all the other stuff that has happened to this program in the last 10 years, I'd consider it an extension of our run of bad luck. Well, actually most sources say its from repeated violations of substance abuse. Now, whether that is weed, or whatever, who knows, but he isn't getting the boot due to just talking back to a coach. Lets not cast Rogers as a model citizen who just can't hold his tongue. The kid is pretty bad trouble.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 22, 2012 -> 10:24 AM) I concluded as much after watching the beginning of this clip through 1:25 from the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Great performance of Yer Blues afterwards as well. I do think his post-Beatles stuff was a lot more hit or miss than McCartney's post-Beatles stuff. Some of it sounds so generic. Thanks for the link, I enjoyed that. As for a reunion, no one can ever say it wouldn't have happened, but I highly doubt it would have ever come to fruition. It was never about the money, and clearly none of them needed it. Add to that, John had the desire to settle down and focus on raising Sean and being out of the musical spotlight, I doubt we'd have ever been lucky enough to see all 4 together again. I think the comparison to Pink Floyd is pretty comparable. Waters and Gilmour don't feel like anything else needs to be done as a group, and feel like it won't bring anything else to the table so to speak, regardless of how much money is waved in front of them. That being said, the wife and I went to see Roger Waters' The Wall in Charlotte, and it was a helluva lot of fun to see.

PLEASE REMOVE MATT THORNTON FROM THIS GAME

Winner. 1.5 game lead, Chris gets win #12 with a gritty performance.

And, our cloesr is in...ok? Well, he hasn't worked in 4 days, so I guess it was due.

I have hopes that Dayan can finish the season in the .265-.270 range, with 20 HRs and 80 RBI, Alexei can be at .275-.280 with 60 RBI, and Beckham at .245-.250 with 12 HRs and 60 RBI. I'd be content with all of the above

Rios! ALEXEI! Now I feel a bit better about this one.

No bunt? Not like I think Flowers can actually get a hit. And the K...he could really challenge Dunn for the K title if he played 160 games.

Judging by mlb gameday, this ump kinda sucks?

Asshat. and yeah, so glad we had Myers there, and used Mr 1.50 WHIP Nate Jones. Thanks again for your efforts.... And just like that, its a 1 run game.

Ugh...this has a bad, bad vibe to it...

No, Nate Jones...just no.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 03:00 PM) WTF? Big 10 is moving the ball to the 25 on touch backs now? NCAA wide rule change. Kickoffs go up to the 35 yard line with no running starts for the kicking team, and touchbacks on free kicks will be brought out to the 25 now. Also, if any player loses his helmet during a play, they HAVE to leave the field for at least one play or it is a 15 yard penalty.

Lol, what else can you say. Thanks RV

This is moronic...are we time lapsing into a 2010-2011 managerial decision here? wtf..

Escobar...again, what a steaming pile of crap. Yeah, I have thought it all year, yell at me if you want.

As sad as it sounds, I'd rather have seen Hudson there. Escobar does absolutely nothing for me whatsoever.

REALLY coulda used one of those runs there....keep it clinched up, here we go...

Such a pile of monkey s***. I'd take the 250 K's and .200 BA if it meant he hit 70 HRs, but that isn't happening.
