That sucked so hard.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 27, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) I couldnt agree less. If youre the best team, youre the best in all field conditions. Furthermore, all the Super Bowl ever proves is who was the "best team" that day, with those conditions. I dont see how playing in 4 inches of snow or ice decreases the chance that the better team wins. There should be absolutely no correlation to bad weather and upsets. Both teams have to play in the bad conditions, it impacts them both equally. Just the same as if the weather is 100 degrees and humid, 60 and sunny, or -100 and windy. If the Colts are playing the Lions in a snow storm, Id still take the Colts every single day of the week. They are the superior team, why would I think that the Lions would do better? Both teams play in the same conditions, why would it give the underdog an advantage? If anything I would believe that the superior team would more likely win in bad conditions, because they are more talented and therefore should be able to deal with adverse weather better. I guess I just remember football being an outdoor sport. I dont remember not playing games because it was raining, or to cold, or any other excuse. You played with the conditions that you were given, and quite frankly I never remember thinking "Damn were the better team but its bad weather so we just arent going to win." I do remember thinking "Man that other team is going to suffer because its going to be hell getting beat down in bad conditions." /shrugs If you like indoor football, maybe the arena league is for you. I personally like outdoor games and believe that football is at its best in all conditions. It just seems that if the Championship game can be played in abysmal conditions, that the Super Bowl should be as well. But Im a Bears fan and have always loved the winter. Cold weather is when football is to be played. I always hated 2 a days and summer training because it was just to damn hot. Of all the conditions, heat was the one I didnt like to play in. Pads, helmets etc, your just burning up in the summer. The cold/snowy/slippery weather increases the chances for some kind of fluke turnovers, missed field goals, etc. which is something that can lead to the better team getting beat. Also, the bolded part makes me not want to take your argument seriously.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ May 27, 2010 -> 05:36 PM) Pip has been offered numerous jobs including assistant coach. He only wants one though and that's head coach. If he can't be that, he doesn't want to be tied to traveling. Exactly and neither side is wrong with what they've done. The Bulls don't need to hire him as head coach if they don't feel he's a fit and he has the right to not want to be an assistant coach.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ May 27, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) Wade's comments suggest that he really only cares about other superstars. Not including former superstars = not including former players. It's the average players who actually need the job post-basketball. I don't know what he expects Jordan or Pippen to be doing. I'm sure they don't want to waste their time with jobs that tie them down all the time. They probably don't want to be coaching or anything like that. The bulls did bring Pippen back to end his career.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) I would have said they'd have no chance based on how the Cards started this year, but that offense of the Cards seems to have some bad mojo. Lohse might be done for the year, and who knows how Penny returns from injury. J. Garcia has been filthy for the Cardinals so far this season in their rotation. Some of the Cubs hitters that started hot are slowing down now, but D. Lee is picking it up. Crazy that the Cubs have 11 wins between Silva and Marshall. The Cubs are mediocre at best. They have a ton of guys overachieving and are still under .500, obviously I expect Ramirez to return to excellence but the rest of them should regress.

Have a good one pal. Drink some Rum!

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 27, 2010 -> 03:53 PM) Then the question is who is the mandate coming from? I thought a few years back baseball demanded the umps call the strike zone. Quotes with umps indicated they'd call the correct strike zone and nothing changed. It's them flipping off the game. Higher than belt high it seems to be a ball. I don't really have a problem with that. The rulebook is what really should be changed. Not calling the letter high strike works.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) Cubs in great position to catch up to the Cardinals in the standings after this weekend, as the Cardinals offense is really slowing down. As much as I usually am rooting so hard for the the cubs to miss the postseason, this year I'm not worried. I know they don't have a chance of anything really.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 27, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) I don't often get into this, but there is nothing worse than a Cubs fan friend on facebook who happens to be attending a game. I have a lot of them, so I have diagnosed the exact process by which all fans are required to follow in order to attend a game and also be on facebook. It is as follows. 1. OMG GOING TO CUBS GAME TOMORROW 2. GOING TO CUBS TODAY WOOHOO 3. picture of beer in hand before game starts 4. picture of random at bat in the early innings 5. picture of random at bat in the middle innings 6. picture of random at bat in the late innings 7a. [if cubs win... rarely] CUBS GAME WAS GREAT GO CUBS 7b. [if cubs lose...often] - silence Couldn't agree more. It's always the people that I could have hung out with for years and never knew they had an interest in baseball.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 27, 2010 -> 09:26 AM) I highly doubt that. Although, I must have told my wife 18 times that I'd watch the s*** out of a Miles/Sawyer cop show based on their characters in Purgatory. As long as Hurley shows up a couple times to say "dude" I think it would be a tremendous success. I've been saying the same thing for weeks.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 27, 2010 -> 09:25 AM) I was so happy to kill that f***er. He killed my horse, and then attacked me. He got what he deserved. In other RDR news, I am not too far into the game, because I can only play in hour spurts a few nights a week, and half of that is spent roaming and f***ing around, but last night I was elated to earn the duster. I feel so much like Mac. The other day I had two of those sneaky bastards attack my horse and they got me on the ground and I quickly got into deadeye and blew their heads off. Those cougars are little b****es.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 27, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) Shingo had like a 15 year career closing in Japan. In 2005, the difference between Shingo-2004 and 2005 was obvious...he couldn't get his offspeed stuff over the plate. In 2004, he could throw every pitch in his arsenal for a strike, so you couldn't sit either on his fastball or on his changeup, because the difference between them was 40 mph and there was no time to react if you picked wrong. In 2005, he couldn't throw anything offspeed for a strike, so every batter went up there sitting on his fastball. Regardless of the body of work, when you can clearly see a guy is struggling with his control and that's leading directly to runs, you have a problem. Shingo had only blown 1 save by the time he lost the closer's role to Hermanson; he was 8/9. But he'd lost a couple games in extra innings, had an ERA over 7, and it was obvious to anyone watching that he'd lost the control he had the previous year. Bobby can't get anything but a fastball over the plate himself. His once great curve is atrocious right now.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 27, 2010 -> 12:30 AM) Because just because Jenks hasn't blown saves doesn't mean he hasn't sucked donkey balls. Exactly. His performance has pretty much showed that he is not getting the job done even though he has only blown one save. When you can't get outs eventually it is going to catch up to you and you will start blowing saves. I doubt he's just f***ing with the opposition to make it interesting and then shutting the door. The blown saves will come and they will come in droves if he continues pitching the way he has been. I haven't seen his fat ass get a breaking ball over the plate in all season. Give Putz a chance before Bobby puts the nail in the coffin of this team.

QUOTE (T R U @ May 26, 2010 -> 10:41 PM) the closers job is to come in and get the save, which Jenks has done except one time so far.. and I know Jenks has sucked, but as long as he keeps saving the game even if its close to being blown, its whatever.. when he starts blowing saves on a regular basis im all for getting him out of the role.. Well I don't think the sox can exactly waste games on waiting for him to start blowing saves on a regular basis. It's pretty clear that that is what is coming down the road here soon and it is probably time for someone else to step in. The Sox need every win they can get at this point.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 26, 2010 -> 10:58 PM) Do you draft warm weather players in Tampa? Dusty Baker is that you? Especially considering the amount of games they actually play in extreme conditions is probably only 2-4 games per year even for green bay.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 26, 2010 -> 09:57 AM) This is dumb. The two best teams should have the best field available so they can showcase their skills. The more random luck/shoddy field conditions involved, the worse it is for everyone. Watching a game in snow is cool for about a minute, then you realize it's a terribly played game and it's just garbage football. I want a football game to have the athletes running, jumping, hitting, and cutting to the best of their abilities in the most important game of the year. I'm with you. I'm also someone you are never going to see at a football game past october. I'll go to the first couple of the year but I'm not spending a hundred bucks to sit in the f***ing cold. Every team should have a dome.

f*** It. Go Flyers! just kiddin

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 25, 2010 -> 07:30 PM) Yeah, those aren't really bad glitches. If it adds significant comedic value and doesn't detract from the gameplay then I can live with it and in this case likely enjoy it. A true major glitch is like what some have experienced with the new Prince of Persia where you can fall into an inescapable room where the game auto-saves to the only file you're allowed to create and you're forced to completely start over several hours into the game. Riding a horse woman or clearing a gang hideout for a talking dog actually sound pretty amusing to me, in fact I'm really hoping I run into her. Yeah I want to see this horse lady as well. I'm hoping to keep her around as my main horse.

I would love to watch TV at Eddy Curry's house.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ May 25, 2010 -> 04:12 PM) I was pretty dissapointed with the Law and Order series finale, you would think after 20 years it would go out with more of a bang.. I'm pretty sure they were promised one more season from NBC and then NBC just pulled the rug out from under them.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 24, 2010 -> 10:15 PM) Thinking more about it, the show actually provides no evidence as to what happened with the bomb/release. The way the show presented it was that the H-Bomb sunk the island (the next episode is the flight 815 that lands), but now it appears that may have never been the same time line at all. The only real answer I can come up with is, whatever did happen, the H-Bomb must have never gone off, because with Juliet's proximity she wouldnt be alive. There is just no way I can believe that some one 5 feet from an h-bomb survived because of an energy release. I guess I could go with the idea that the H-Bomb didnt go off, that the way they presented it made it seem like there was an explosion, but actually it was just a time flash. My interpretation is that it did go off but a split second or at the same time she got transported in time and never got hit by the explosion but rather died from the fall.

I was never a big goldeneye guy either. I've never played any multiplayer FPS games. Not my thing(I Suck). Did anyone else play Super Mario Sunshine on the Gamecube? I really liked that game. Also just picked up RDR because I just feel like I'd be missing out if I didn't.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 24, 2010 -> 05:28 PM) Someone asked me today, and didn't have a real solid answer for them:What was the end result of the bomb going off to end the last season. Did it do anything? Brought them back to the present day? It also killed Juliet.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 24, 2010 -> 10:59 AM) I've never found Claire to be attractive. me neither.
