QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 03:17 PM) It feels like Borderlands. It feels more like Halo than Borderlands. The loot drops and finds arent nearly as much as they are in borderlands. It has a lot of the same ideas though. Tough to tell since I maxed out the BETA in one sitting and cant progress or find anything better anymore.

Bottom line, Houston didn't like examination of the player they couldn't examine until after he was drafted. Needs to run more like the NFL Combine.

QUOTE (Tmar @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) Can't wait until next year, no more patronizing an average player, phew Yeah enough of this Jeter bulls***

Yup, pretty much good baseball players regardless of position or handedness

Did anyone ever set up an online league for the show, I am finding it very hard to get into one

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 12:13 PM) 100% agree, for safety of all workers, all feds, but especially WWE should make the X sacred so there's never ANY doubt. Well if it was an angle, I'll state what I mentioned earlier, the last 2-3 minutes was horrible, both by writers and those in-ring. Im sure there is a way to communicate an issue other than just throwing up the X sign, especially since most of the IWC is wise to this signal now anyways..

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:45 PM) I believe its the Lebron sign and trade that gave Cleveland this pick. It would be interesting to see the protections on that pick, oh boy

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) You can't sign Bosh if there is a 15 million cap hold on Parsons. They have no cap space if there is a 15 million cap hold. Thats not what I heard.. they would sign Bosh first, and then be able to match the offer sheet for Parsons to go over the cap

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:04 PM) I see absolutely no way for the Rockets to get both Parsons and Bosh. They'd be way too far over the cap and the offer sheet makes his cap hold enormous If they sign Bosh and match Parsons they get both, its pretty simple

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Right, they would be foolish. But they did it anyway, because they were probably under the impression that he was coming back and they all wanted to restructure their deals. Well considering Bosh is going to get big money from Houston and Wade will just resign with the Heat which will almost surely be for as much money as he left behind, I dont see how anyone is screwed here.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 12:28 PM) There's no chance those guys opt out if they don't believe Lebron is basically a lock to come back. He had to have said, i'm most likely staying with the Heat, you guys should opt out. Hell, the Cleveland rumors didn't even start until a week ago, well after they opted out. Sorry I don't buy that, you would have to be incredibly foolish to opt out of that kind of money without a guarantee. Unless a report comes out soon that says LeBron gave his commitment to come back and then changed his mind, there is no one to blame but themselves.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 12:01 PM) Love that people are praising Lebron for doing the "right" thing, despite the fact that he allowed his "friends" to opt out of a s***load of guaranteed money. Bosh is still going to get his, but Wade and Haslem just got royally f***ed. Unless LeBron said "im resigning with the Heat go ahead an opt out" no one was "f***ed" here.. they made their own decisions

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 09:48 AM) Wade and LBJ are attached at the hip right now. I think he has the police there to ensure his home isn't trashed in Cleveland when it comes back. Seems like everyone has been duped. I don't buy into this LBJ to Cleveland stuff anymore. Just doesn't add up but I could be mistaken. The Cleveland stuff makes more sense to me than anything. Why would he return to Miami? That roster really isn't going to be improved from last season, meanwhile Clevelands roster is set up to be pretty damn good with LeBron for the foreseeable future. A return to the Heat just doesn't make any sense to me, it will be the same show as last year if he goes that route.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 09:43 AM) Pretty sure the story with Billy Wagner was that he was a righty in HS and broke his arm, so he taught himself to throw left handed by just throwing over and over at a target until he felt comfortable Wikipedia agrees with my version of events http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Wagner Are you sure you didn't just go on wikipedia and add that so you looked like a genius??

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 10:48 PM) what the hell is that

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 07:06 AM) This is very true...hoping my son is left-handed. Teach him a knuckleball and he'll have a 50/50 shot to make the majors. I have actually been thinking of this for a while. My son is 2 1/2 and I am pretty sure he is right handed.. but if I have him throw left handed would he be able to become good at throwing left handed or is that a bad idea and just have him throw with the hand that he naturally wants to throw with. I understand if you do something long enough you can become good at it, what I don't know is how that relates to handedness. Is there any data out there about this?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 09:48 PM) Holy f***. http://www.lebronjames.com wellplayed

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 09:34 PM) Laugh all you want, the vacuum created by the Heat's demise will put the Bulls, Pacers, Wizards and Raptors in position to take the East before the Cavs get their s*** down and dominate the rest of the decade. I can't believe you guys think LeBron can lead a bunch of young guys who've never even been in the playoffs and now they're supposed to be favorites. It'll take them a year or two, and that's going with the premise that their new coach, who's never coached in the NBA, can actually coach on this level. Youre so off base here its ridiculous. LeBron, Love, and Kyrie will have a better supporting cast than the heat had and they would get to the finals with ease. If its Wiggins, LeBron, and Kyrie I still would put them as favorites, but not auto.

Ok so who is the favorite? The Bulls? Hold on while I go laugh uncontrollably for the next 10 minutes

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) I couldn't care less about Anthony at this point, he was always stayng in NY and it was always about dat money. I'm much more interested in where James ends up. Things are looking like he's going back to Cleveland which gives us a year or two max window in the East to get to the Finals. I honestly believe LeBron in the Cavs and even with Love, they aren't making the Finals right away, it takes some time to mesh and they have alot of youngsters who've never even gotten to the playoffs. I can't believe some of you guys think they're instant contenders, even with Love. Don't get me wrong, they'll be good but their youth, they'll need to mature. I think in 2 or more likely 3 years, they should be killing the East. Yeah right, LeBron was getting the Cavs to the finals with absolute garbage round him. If he has Love/Wiggins, Kyrie, and what other veterens follow theyll come out of the east no problem.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 09:59 PM) How in the world are Carroll and Hector capable of this? These type of games, and Viciedo's performance on this road trip are times you think the Sox actually have a good managerial and coaching staff. WTF is with this team? Is it a good team or horses***? It never can completely make up its mind. You remember the pathetic sweep at Minnie, pathetic sweep at home against KC and performance vs. the Angels. You do realize Boston sucks right? They are 39-50

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 03:09 PM) And yet we already watched him play his way into an injury and a DL trip once this season. Getting injured is not the same as being fatigued. Just because you give him an off day doesn't mean hes not going to roll an ankle on the bag the next game. If hes not physically tired, there's no reason for him to have days off.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) Obviously he hasn't played every single day because there are off days in the schedule, but I think that long-term, giving a guy a tiny bit of extra rest over 162 is incredibly wise. Why? He plays first base. He spend the majority of the game standing around doing not much of anything, and when he hits half the time he just gets to jog slowly around the bases. There's no reason he ever needs a day off.

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 10:34 AM) This is probably just a personal thing, but it makes no sense to refer to a sports team as WE. "glad we won today." "That trade we made last week was awesome." "Wish we would steal more." You aren't on the team. You don't have a say in team transactions. You aren't coaching. Stop saying WE in reference to your favorite sports team. I'm sure I've done it, but I try to correct it when I catch myself saying it. I spend money on merchandise, I spend money to attend games, I invest time to watch on TV. I can say we all I want. Im invested in my favorite teams, there is nothing wrong with using "we" in reference.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 02:08 PM) Johan Santana disagrees. He pitched a no-hitter on June 1, 2012. He threw 134 pitches after only making 3 starts with 100+ pitchers that year and taking 2011 off. He made 10 more starts in 2012 with an ERA of 8.26 and hasn't appeared in the majors since. Man there is no proof that the 134 pitches he threw that day led to him being terrible and ultimately finished in the big leagues
