I thought this was fitting for The Walking Dead:

Our strategy of making Pujols and Kendrick exhaust themselves by crushing the ball, worked for a win!

It appears that, when it comes to throwing balls vs. strikes, Nestor Molina is an equal opportunity pitcher.

Nestor Molina, trying to ruin one of the few times we've had a lead this ST.

The Gregg Marshall Red Phone is ringing, alas we finally got rid of our head b-ball coach, George McFly

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) They need to release a second album. Same with QotSA, for that matter. QOTSA has one coming this year, but we may be waiting until late 2013 for another TCV album. I know they were waiting on Homme to tour yet again with QOTSA, AND for JPJ to finish writing some rock Opera he is working on.

Been back on that "Them Crooked Vultures" for a while now. That album has all levels of awesome not yet reported in recent music.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 16, 2012 -> 11:48 AM) I first heard of Dawes from this thread a few years back, and I'm grateful to whoever it was that posted about them. I'm in love with their second album, and the track "If I Needed Someone" is terrific. I was about to revolt until I went and saw the name of the song is "If I Wanted Someone". Someone covering a Beatles song makes me angryface, but thats not the case here.

Novoselic actually played the accordion on "I Should Have Known" as well.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 12:29 AM) I tried to get into the Melvins once, and couldn't do. They're the kind of band I'd be willing to give a second try to, though. And as for Wasting Light, I think White Limo is far away the most QotSA-like track. You might like "I Should Have Known" if only because it's about Cobain; I'm also a fan of "Dear Rosemary" because Bob Mould plays guitar and sings backing vocals on it. On a different note, have you heard any Howler? Local Minneapolis band I've grown fond of. Sort of like a garage surf rock. Pretty young too, I think the singer/guitarist/songwriter is only 19. Not mentioning Arlandria, as pretty much the song with the most awesome around, makes me sad.

Hmm, for me its: 1a - Alice in Chains 1b - Pearl Jam 2 - Soundgarden 3 - Nirvana Thank god Dave Grohl came out of Nirvana, else honestly, I coulda survived without them. Soundgarden, man if people base their stuff off of Black Hole Sun, you REALLY need to give other stuff like Slaves and Bulldozers/Four Walled World/All Night Thing a chance Layne was gone FAR too soon, I still can sit and listen to AIC for hours.

I still rock out to every PJ album there has been, with the exception of one political abomination (Riot Act). IMO, Yield was still possibly my favorite offering of them (its too easy for people to say 'The best was Vs or Ten') Binaural was fantastic, one a lot of folks didn't like, and IMO Backspacer has been very solid.

Finished "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. It was pretty interesting, I don't think it held my attention as much as 11/22/63, but nonetheless, it was a solid read if you're an 80's pop culture and gaming geek junkie. Up Next: "Forbidden" by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee. Not sure of much about it, other than it was suggested to me by B&N after buying 11/22/63. That, and it was only $2.99.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 12:06 PM) I've been reading a lot more since I bought my Nook Tablet. Mainly, because it's super easy to download books for free for Kindle and Nook. Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline, was an absolute blast to read. Anyone who enjoyed Ender's Game would absolutely adore that book. I just started the new Stephen King last night and am geeking out over it. The first 100 pages flew by and I cannot wait to finish that quickly. It is rather scary how alike some SoxTalk members are. I read 11/22/63, then looked for similar to it. Barnes and Noble recommended 'Ready Player One'. I am about 180 pages into it right now, and the sheer amount of 80's Pop Culture references are worth the read to me, alone. I'm enjoying it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 8, 2012 -> 01:59 PM) Please let me know what you think. I have been going back and forth on buying it. I bought 11/22/63 as my first book on the Christmas gift Nook Tablet. It was a long read, and an enjoyable one. The premise of anything involving history + time travel immediately appeals to me. I read it in probably 3 days time, finding it hard to ever put down. I haven't read any King stuff since Regulators/Desperation, so it was nice to get back into his stuff with a solid book.

Alshon won't run a 4.4 or 4.5 at the combine, I can bet whatever on that. But, he may still be around at 15-20th I think.

I love how Bo Pellini, a tremendous douchenozzle btw, thinks his team was the 'better' team today, despite being held scoreless for the last 47.5 minutes.

Representing my home state so well! And WYFF is our local NBC channel. We've got some smart folks down here.

South Carolina's schedule, roughly... East Carolina Georgia UAB Wofford at Kentucky at Vanderbilt at LSU Missouri Arkansas Tennessee at Florida at Clemson Doable, but at LSU is probably going to be a suckfest.

Just sayin, 3 years of absolute domination of Clemson makes my weekend all around fantastic. 10-2 season, with a 5th string RB, backup QB, backup LT....who said Spurrier lost his touch?

Even though it probably should be LSU-Alabama...man, thats going to be the most boring title game ever.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) Going to see Guns 'N Roses after work tonight at Allstate Arena. Ticket says the show starts at 9, so I'm hoping they hit the stage before midnight. Only half kidding about that. Either way, been hearing some pretty positive reviews about this tour overall. Hoping that this time around they focus a lot more of their "new" (3 years old) material, unlike the last two times they came through here. I missed the show here locally, but I would have went had I known. I had a coworker there. He said he left at 1 AM, and they were still playing. They played past 2 AM here....38 freakin' songs. That is a show.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 11:03 AM) K-Cup is convenient. I'm not arguing that. But anyone that claims -- or attempts to claim -- that it's a quality cup of coffee is delusional at best...either that or they're trying hard to convince themselves. It's quick brew trash with fine ground coffee inside, coffee that may have once held the true characteristics necessary to make a quality cup, but once in those cups, the oils are gone... Nothing beats opening a bag of beans and seeing the shiny oil covered fresh beans...and K-Cup will never have that. Ever. Also, for a person that claims to care about the environment -- congratulations, you choose the Exxon of coffee making pollution creation. May as well drink water out of plastic bottles and fill up the local landfills while your at it. http://www.coffeehabitat.com/2011/09/k-cups-recycling/ Any "recycle" programs people talk about with K-Cup are BS...so don't try. Sounds to me, your mind is made up to think that, no matter what. Personally, I have no problem with Keurig cups for coffee. It is a complete waste of time and coffee at our place, to sit and make a pot of coffee, so it can sit around and scald on the bottom, in hopes someone drinks it. Nevermind the fact that it is going to sit there for hour(s) just hanging out. Single cup brewing, on the other hand, with a s***ton of choices so I don't have to keep 17 1-lb. bags of coffee at my house, wins any day of the week.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 9, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) I have a tassimo and I just dont like the flavor of it for whatever reason, Im just looking for an alternative to walking across the street to starbucks. Or, as my favorite T shirt to wear, says...

Monday night brought the Foos with Social D and The Joy Formidible to Atlanta. Damn, that show just goes and goes. I think it was 3 hours for the Foos, and an hour or so for Social D. Speaking of Social D, I forgot how damn long those guys have been around!!
