I think just a fine should have been enough.. Why is the football program getting punished for something that had nothing to do with football? Hit them with the fine and remove all the Paterno stuff, thats really all that should have been done. At least they can transfer without having to sit out.

They're done. I think its asking a lot to expect Chris Sale to stay as strong as he has, hes gotta tire out at some point. Konerko has disappeared. Dunn is reverting back to his 2011 ways. Inconsistent pitching from the back end of our rotation. I am happy that they played as well as they have so far, I wasn't expecting it at all. I didn't expect them to keep it up without making some major moves but I think were about done adding big pieces. I don't expect them to stay in this, but it would be great to be wrong about it.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 04:08 PM) I they could get a nice package for Dunn (probably a NL team), I'm all for it. I dont think Dunn has any value.. Hes hitting like .165 with a .307 obp since the beginning of June

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) X Men Origins: Wolverine derailed Deadpool so bad it isnt even funny. I think they are waiting for everyone to forget what they did to his character Thats why I want them to make his own movie, they did no justice to Deadpool.. it has to be fixed

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 11:51 AM) When you cheer for him, you are cheering for his accomplishments on the baseball field. You are not cheering for him as a man, or a human being. If you can't make the distinction, you probably shouldn't ever cheer. When you boo someone, are you booing them as a man or a human being? Of course not; you are booing their performance on the baseball field. It works both ways, folks. I dont understand why this is so hard to get

I wonder how many of you are going to be cheering on Brandon Marshall this season

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) I dont think they expect some of the lesser characters to have the success of cap/iron man/spiderman etc, but I think Marvel finds it important to at least give some of them movies to see how they test with audiences. Im sure some of them will bomb and will not be touched again, but I think there will also be some surprise hits. Ant-Man and Black Panther arent as obscure as you think they are. Guardians of the Galaxy, that is pretty obscure. But, just like the comics themselves, these characters are there and there are writers/directors who want to tell their story. Dont get me wrong, im all for Marvel to keep pumping out movies because I love those kind of movies. I am just not all that interested in Ant-Man or Black Panther. Ide rather them come out with a Deadpool movie or get things rolling out faster for the movies im really anticipating.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:50 AM) Really? She was one of the bright spots of the movie, I thought she did a great job in the scenes she was in. Ugh. Her goggles that flipped up to look like ears, I couldnt stand that.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 10:25 AM) That's what he's saying. I'd heard about all of them, but (Thor especially) I had no idea what their origins were. I know, I was pretty much just agreeing with him and throwing in my own little note. I just dont think these obscure Marvel characters are going to have anywhere near the success that we have seen with whats already come out.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 06:37 PM) I think most guys in the 18-35 or whatever the main target age group all know SpiderMan and X-Men from watching cartoons as kids at the very least and knew about Captain America. Iron Man and Thor I don't think the casual fan knew their storyline but have heard about them. Its hard for any guy in that range to not know about Spiderman and X-Men. Before I even knew all about Thor I could remember him from that movie Adventures in Babysitting. Iron Man I think would at least be known by most people, even if you didn't know that much about him. Even with Thor, hes not just a Marvel thing. Some people could know who Thor is without even knowing he has anything to do with comics.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 12:16 AM) Ever read a comic book? Jeez. Watch something else, because your ending pisses in the face of everything Batman. It was weak Steve, and I think deep down you know it was kinda weak too but your love for Batman wont allow you to admit it. At the very least you can agree that really had no place in this movie. I guess I had higher expectations for this movie than you did. Like I said, it wasn't a bad movie.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 04:38 PM) So what would have been a good ending to you or your best-case-scenario ending? ? I don't understand how anyone found this ending a fitting conclusion to the trilogy.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 01:30 PM) And on the opposite end of the spectrum, you seem to be one of those people who can't be pleased no matter what. Im actually very easy to please Im sorry that After all of the build up and excitement, the ending just didn't live up to what I had built into my head going in. The entire movie wasn't a let down, the ending was.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 02:16 AM) The ending was very disappointing but I think you are stretching it a bit with ruined the entire movie. Overall it was well done just didn't live up to the hype or the quality of the first 2. No, I liked the movie a lot up until the ending. The way it ended, it was like it ruined the rest of the stuff that I liked about it. Thats how disappointed I was.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 12:57 AM) Told you... We couldve finished the ACC championship game on our online dynasty, but noooooooooo.. If you would have just told me the spoilers I wouldn't have wasted the time to go see it. No joke, the ending of this movie ruined the entire movie for me.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 05:55 PM) Casual fans did not know Thor. I dunno about that.

Just got back from The Dark Knight Rises, it was easily the WORST movie of the three.. I am so f***ing pissed off at how it ended. Awful. I am so disappointed its not even funny.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 03:10 AM) One thing that will help GotG is that supposedly Thor will be in it. The problem with it is the casual fan isn't going to go see this more than likely.. the casual fan knows Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Etc. they will see this and go WTF? Most likely the same with stuff like Antman and the Black Panther films, I get that the popularity of superhero movies is booming but these aren't going to appeal to the casual fan.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) Yeah, but its that the fact that they're athletic nerds who played all types of sports in high school gets overlooked. I've had somewhere around 20 people come to one practice and leave because they think it'll be whimsical and a Harry Potter fan club. Then they realize we really don't talk about Harry Potter, get tackled, and it takes athletic ability. Its just stupid. The concept of it is lame, regardless of the athletic ability or lack there of. Then again, this also could just be because I think Harry Potter is dumbest s*** ever and its pathetic that people under 11 love that s***.

Yep, nerds sound about right.

Guardians of the Galaxy will be a major flop

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:58 PM) So let me get this straight. You want to trade for someone who we're not even sure has desire right now to pitch in a pennant race or in a city or media market like Chicago? You're just going to force him to pitch for the White Sox? Then you're going to not only trade away our future and give the guy $100-110 million? Have you lost your mind? When this whole thing blows up, are you going to blame KW? Please repeat after me...at this moment, I, Marty34, will never hold KW responsible for any Zack Greinke trade going completely awry and setting the franchise back for half a decade. I, Marty34, realize that when there's nobody hitting homers for the White Sox in 2014-15-16, I will have myself to blame for the completely punchless offense. You will never know unless you find out, and I think ide rather take a shot at Greinke than do nothing and watch Dylan Axelrod do nothing for this team the rest of the way.. I dont think many fans are going to boo the franchise for trying to win another championship.. And 2014-2015-2016? You dont know who we will have or who comes out of nowhere for this team by then.. you cant always just think about the future, because in the present right now our 1st place lead is getting close to being history. Ill take winning now please.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) He's 4 for his last 36. 26 for his last 115 for an icy .226 average. Only five walks. 1 homer and 7 RBI's. DeAza is really really hurting our offense right now, along with Paulie and Dunn's inability to drive in RISP recently. Not only him.. Konerko and Beckham, no one on our bench can be counted on to hit.. Our pitchers are starting to fall apart.. They need to make a big move to take advantage of where we are right now otherwise we will be out of it in early August.. Too many people around here have WAY too much faith in rookies and abnormal performances..

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) Trading both Viciedo and Quintana for a rental is one of the dumber suggestions I've seen on this board in my time. Probably about as dumb as the people who think Viciedo is a lock to turn into a 35-40 HR hitter and Quintana is a sub 3 ERA pitcher.. Clearly, you're the one who doesn't watch much baseball.
