QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) I hate when stupid music like One Direction and Justin Bieber is playing over the speakers. Less than 0.1% of Sox fans are 12 year old girls. You wouldn't be saying that if you saw how good they are live in this video:

Anyone know of any ideas for booking cheaper airfare/hotels to Vegas than the typical Priceline, Expedia, etc.?

He was never a good minor leaguer. He was never a good major leaguer. He is 30 years old. There was no reason for anyone to believe he would do well going out of spring training. There is no reason for anyone to believe he will do anything from this point on. I don't ever want the Sox to lose, but I was hoping that if he was going to lose tonight, it would be the one to do him in. I bet he's gone after tonight.

They must be struggling a lot on their end. Everything seemed a lot better last year. Hopefully it's remedied soon....

I usually hope they succeed.

Anyone else having issues with MLB.TV so far this season? I watch via my Xbox and it keeps having network issues where it either pauses or skips around. Also, there doesn't appear to be an option to split and watch 2 different games simaltaneously. Anyone else have these issues?

Adam Eaton

Anyone have any hookups for social work jobs in the West suburbs? My wife is looking for something full time that doesn't have weird hours (we have a 4 month-old at home) She has.... Bachelor's in SW Master's in SW Type 73 certificate (for school social work) Background in foster care, crisis pregnancy, domestic abuse, adoption, juvenile detention

I thought Lance Broadway was going to be a decent major league pitcher.

Of course its just hearsay, but I recall reading about A-Rod's high school teammates saying they knew he was using PEDs before he was even out of school.

I think appropriate expectations for year 1 would be along the lines of .260 - .270 AVE 20-25 HR 75-85 RBIs I think we'll see a guy who will be crazy good at some points in the season and be super cold during other points. Be patient early. A little improvement in year 2 in each of those categories.

Just a play on words, not putting anyone down....

Looks like Rick Hahn had a case of the Downs Syndrome!

I forgot about Willie!

Where's the food option? I'm always craving a steak sandwich or something.

This Adam Lopez fellow in Kannapolis seems to enjoy strikeouts. Now he just needs to improve his control a bit.

DFA'd for Gillaspie.

Must need a new clubhouse janitor or something.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 09:33 AM) yeah nobody's BMR is 2000. but more or less the right idea Sure seems like mine is.

Figure out your basil metabolic rate and determine your cutting caloric input based off that. I'm cutting right now and eating about 1500 calories a day, when my BMR is about 2000. You've got to count calories, and it isn't really that hard. You'll get used to it quick, and their are so many nutritional resources out there today (ex: myfitnesspal.com) that will give you an idea of what you are putting in your body. Not counting calories when trying to change your body is like not looking at your bank account ever. 1 pound of fat = 3500 calories 500 calorie deficit/day = 1 pound of fat lost per week. Presto! A few low calorie meals I like when cutting: Chicken breast/black beans/salsa/cilantro/garlic in crock pot for 4 hours. Eat portions that fit your caloric needs. Chicken or turkey chili (make sure your turkey is lean, otherwise it may not be that helpful in terms of calories) Lean ground beef burgers (Less than 10% fat) Instead of chips and salsa, do cucumbers slices and salsa Sugar free low calorie jello Figure out what kind of timing for your meals suppresses your appetite the best. I find that personally during the week I need to spread my meals out throughout the day to keep from being too hungry, whereas the weekends I take an intermittent fasting approach and trying to eat all of my day's food around the same time of the day. Take a picture of yourself shirtless either once a week or once a month. Looking at those pictures will be very motivating if you can be consistent about your diet for a few months. Also it won't deceive you like a scale may.

Anyone think we should be excited about MVP baseball 2013? Or will this never happen. I haven't seen any formal announcements.

Grew up in a mixed family of Sox and Cubs fans. Once I was old enough to understand the game I quickly realized that Cubs fans were mostly made up of individuals who weren't actually very devoted fans and they rarely knew their team, whereas the Sox fans actually followed their team and weren't fans just for the sake of being fans. Other factors include: My family could afford to attend Sox games Sox had a lot of children friendly programs Frank Thomas was easy to love Sammy Sosa was very dislikable player (as he rose to power as a Cub)

Anyone on here know of an agile project manager looking for work? My company in Naperville is looking for someone and hasn't been able to find the right fit. For one thing I'd like to see this job get filled, for another I'd like to get a referral bonus. Link to job ad
