QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 07:02 AM) The Equalizer was crazy good fun. Not much of a detailed plot, but it worked. Denzel was amazing as McCall. 4 out of 5 stars I loved it too. My wife was rolling her eyes at me when I was cheering on McCall everytime he turned badass.

Vince Coleman anyone?

QUOTE (almagest @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) That was just a good play by the catcher I know I just figured someone would like to blame him at that moment

Vince Coleman?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) Not sure that would have inspired our #2 and #3 pitchers to get their command prior to the season starting. Yeah probably not

I can't help but think this series may have gone a bit different if Sale didn't hop off his pickup this past spring.

Ventura is a lineup making genius

Figures Beckham and Flowers the most hated guys are the most productive tonight

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 04:56 PM) Well it's listed at 235, and the owner has a mortgage of 210 still on it. I don't think they'll go for my initial offer at 195 but I would imagine they will be willing to pay a bit on their mortgage. Otherwise they'll need to do a shortsale, because I don't think it's getting appraised anywhere near 235k. Would it be appraised at 210 though? Because then they wouldnt have to do a short sale if they can get that much.

QUOTE (glangon @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) Its easy. Condor13 posts the line up and a points value for each player. you post your name beside the player you think will hit a home run. if he does, you score that amount of points. Thank you. So this is a game by game thing then.

I am just going to say it. I have read through this thread a few times trying to find out what game it is you guys are playing and how its played and I still have no f***ing idea what is going on.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) Woah woah woah. Stop the clock. I have to pay for my tux? F that

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 04:06 PM) So the selling realtor sucked, the main one said there were no reserves, but her "assistant" later sent us details saying they have 130k in reserves. The assistant also said we won the bid, but we had told the main realtor that we pulled the offer (the day before). So while they have a decent reserve I still didn't like that they already had major repairs going on and would need an attorney to really go over the details of the building/health of the HOA. So decided to not put the offer back out there. I moved on to another place, it's about 30k overpriced though so not sure what will happen as I'm putting in an offer at what the market says it should be. Usually the asking price is about 20-30k over priced so you will have a good shot at it. Good luck.

There is still value in that Bonafacio can still play the infield when called upon. He may not be a gold glover but he is capable. But damn the more time that goes on I dont see the logic in having Beckham come back either. Its like bringing back Chris Getz, whats the point when you can find someone from within like rabbit said.

They see Bonafacio as a 4th outfielder that can play infield if necessity.

I would be shocked if Rodon doesnt become a permanent member of the rotation at some point this year.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 03:26 PM) Might be personal issues or other things that pushed someone to the brink they weren't previously capable of. Never know, I'm sure everyone has had a bad day where they come home and were a bit down or angry. For me, I go play basketball and do something active, but if you didn't have that release and you were in a position where you cared a fire arm and were already upset or had a short fuse, who knows what people are capable of. I'm as non-violent as it gets but I wouldn't want to be a cop and be in situations where your adrenaline is already at high's depending on the situation you are in, let alone what else is going on from a personal perspective which can't always be turned off. That just isnt an excuse worth making for me. I have had moments when I was a teen that I ran from the cops because I panicked and thought they would arrest me for just being a teenager. Luckily they didnt even know I was running from them because I ran the second I seen them coming. LOL But if I ran and was shot by them because said cop had personal issues or a bad day? Oh hell no! I dont care about that. If you are an officer and there is no moment that you feel your life is in imminent danger than there is no excuse to shoot someone. Period. Adrenaline, nerves, personal issues...thats all bulls***.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) Yeah I know but sometimes the first couple games you just go with your regular lineup. I just dislike Beckham playing again and Johnson already not in the lineup. Don't forget Flowers. Oh well, just win the damn game This is why I am mad. When did it become a common practice to play these match up games right off the bat? So if there was a left hander on the mound the first game then Beckham and Sanchez start that game?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 03:10 PM) The initial statements from Slager contained all of the classic hits: "he was resisting arrest!" "he was going for my weapon!" "I feared for my life!" This was before he knew there was a video of this out there, right?

I have to say. I am really pissed at this lineup tonight. Is there no factoring in of timing and consistency to allow young guys like Johnson and Gillaspie to stay in rhythm? Conor was one of the only dangerous looking hitters in the first game.

So my guess is the defense of this officer is going to be something that he says happened before the camera was recording. And they are going to try to bring down the character of the murdered man such as unpaid child support and every other arrest on his record that he may have.

Beckham and Sanchez already huh

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 02:34 PM) 0-15 RISP Its just a game and a half but they seem to have the same problems this year as they did last year. But I think its just going to take a while for their younger hitters to learn patience and rise to the occasion on a consistent basis. Its all part of development but a lot of Cub fans and media members have put them further along then they really are.

To me in this instance it is going to be historical in forcing the police to change policies and processes in the case of using deadly force. In a time where there is extreme racial tensions in this country between the police/justice system and their treatment of black america with many recent instances of suspected foul play this circumstance shines such a bright light to it all that it cant be refuted. There is no way around this recording.
