I don't see how you can be motivated for baseball like that Its not like you can pitch faster.. its not like you can hit the ball further all of the sudden because someone slighted you.. I just don't see the actual game of baseball being one of those bulletin board material games.. Anyone agree with this?

haha, thanks guys.. Its pretty crazy that ive known a lot of you guys since I was 18-19 years old..

Its just good to see some changes in any way

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 09:32 PM) Hmm. We won today, so that means you can't post tomorrow either. Haha, I didnt even plan on posting cuz I was at work.. I just missed getting to listen to it on XM radio.. but I listened to all 3 twins games, so I think we caught a break that we won tonight without my ears involved

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Well that's what you get for checking here instead of a sports site dummyhead Its easier to just click two things and check here than have to navigate through ESPN.com or CBSSportsline.. like I said, was busy so just wanted to check reaaaaaaaaaal quicklike

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) I posted around 5:30 Chicago time, here I already created tommorow's yeah I had already left for work, but now obviously I know they have started the series.. I just couldn't remember if they had the off day on monday or not and when I checked the site about mid afternoon there was no gamethread and there usually is..

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) Really? That's how you know if they have a game or not? No, but I was busy so I just quickly checked here

What the hell? You assholes need to make it quicker with the game threads.. I checked the site earlier and there was no gamethread for today so I thought we had the off day and missed the game.. sons of b****es

I doubt the majority even care if they are booed..

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 01:19 AM) If you guys hearing/reading about it then don't f***ing read this thread. cool story bro.. wanna edit your post so it makes sense?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) Not really the point. They have to find out what De Aza can do against lefty pitching. Unless they just don't think he's in the plans for 2012 at all, which could be the case. Regardless of how you feel, they are still trying to win the division.. sitting Pierre makes no sense at all right now..

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 11:23 PM) I don't think anyone would disagree with you about Gio>Hudson. But Hudson is still young with great peripherals. He is gonna be a stud, and we would have had him for a long time for very little money. There is nothing that suggests Hudson is going to be a "stud" Doesn't mean he wont be a good pitcher, but people REALLY need to let it go.. hes gone, hes never coming back, move on..

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 10:36 AM) Finally got around to watching Brokeback Mountain. Impressive film although I thought Gyllenhaal was a weak casting for Jack Twist. Amazing cinematography. I also liked it, of course it took me years before I finally watched it when I was by myself one night and there was nothing else to watch on demand..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 10:04 AM) I like these kinds of posts. It's like saying, "if you ignore the storyline and just look at the pretty colors, it's great!" Dude, it was a good movie.. its definitely not like you just described.. Its a very cool take on an alien invasion movie, and of course there are some solid ass actors in it.. I didn't find it to be cheesy like you might get off first impression.. I loved the story, it was an enjoyable movie But its not a "storyline sucked, but it looked great" kind of movie.. it was solid

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 01:21 PM) Are you a player that will try and beat every little sidequest and mini game? Im trying to get everything finished before i return it, and I have one little part thats kind of bugging me I honestly cant really remember as I beat Twilight Princess when it came out a few years ago, but for Zelda I try and do everything.. like collecting all the masks on Majoras Mask making that final fight oh so easy

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) I heard this news on the way home last night. I plan on watching the Married With Children episode "All Night Security Dude" as a tribute. RIP Spare Tire Dixon. Haha that's a great episode

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 05:01 AM) Yeah, I know how that works, but isn't leading the pass UP the same thing? We usually just run streak routes, and I figured if you can lead a pass left or right, can't you lead up a pass UP or DOWN? Yeah you gotta try to use the lob pass on those deep routes, it makes a difference

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 08:26 AM) Yeah except its impossible to get a good job offer outside of the school youre already at. I won 5 National titles in a row as Alabamas OC, then i won 3 in a row as Indianas HC, and in the offseason the only team to offer me a HC job was Buffalo, (Chris Carter Voice) Cmon Man!!!!!! I cant play this game until a patch gets released and I saw on the operation sports forums that the Super Linebackers are going to get patched FINALLY! I hate that the only reason the defense is tougher in this years version is because the computer cheats more with super linebackers and psychic DB's that run your receivers routes before your receiver does. I don't know whats going on with your game then.. I started a new dynasty today at Western Michigan as the OC Year 1 - Western Michigan - I complete all my goals so far and go into the offseason where I am offered the OC position at Baylor, ide say that's a pretty decent jump for just 1 season.. D+ Prestige Years 2 through 5 - Baylor - I complete all my goals and in 2015 Baylor wins the National Championship with me manning the offense.. I don't have anything else to prove so I do not sign a new contract and look for a new job. The most appealing is the U offering me the OC job.. A+ Prestige Years 6 and 7 - Miami - I complete all my goals, remain an A+ coach, and now I am ready to get a head coaching job.. I have my alma mater set to Virginia in this one, but they weren't hiring this offseason. I get offered the Boston College job, but I don't like their uniforms so I pass. Finally, I settle on Tulsa's coaching vacancy because they are 3 stars and in a pretty weak conference.. A+ Prestige I was offered a lot of head coaching spots, but no elite jobs.. that was mainly because they had A+ prestige coaches and winning programs already in place so there really was no need for them to be hiring.. I kind of like that better as in the old NCAA games I never understood why if you went 13-0 and win a national title with Navy 13-1 Ohio State coming off a Rose Bowl win has fired their coach to hire you..

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 02:01 AM) Yeah, but even when I push the stick up, to influence the pass higher, the linebacker still gets to a pass that is going to land 15 yards behind him. It's not like I was throwing bullets through coverage and a hand was put up, those guys just leaped like no other. The stick doesn't influence the pass higher, tapping the button lobs it and then the longer you hold the button determines the speed of the pass.. example.. tap to lob, hold to bullet The stick is for leading and such

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 09:05 AM) Finally borrowed Zelda Twilight Princess and beat it. Took 2 weeks because I had to wait til kids were in bed to get in my playing time, but it was awesome. I love Zelda games That game was awesome! I cant wait for the new one

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 12:53 AM) Cowboys & Aliens is worse than Wild Wild West. What the hell were Jon Favreau and Spielberg thinking? Whaaaaaaat? I really enjoyed Cowboys and Aliens.. I thought that was a pretty fresh story in terms of an Alien invasion movie..

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 11:09 PM) He probably had more than you think on the trading block. I don't buy that at all We had plenty of pieces that could have been moved had Kenny wanted to throw in the towel

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) Exactly. Because of Twitter, everyone thinks that Domonic Brown and Brandon Beachy should be White Sox now, but no one knows exactly what KW was offered for those two and what they actually could have received. I don't even think there is any proof KW made those guys available at all.. If I had to guess, KW thought we still had a chance and had no intentions of trading any of those guys by the deadline.. of course we respond by most likely losing 6 games in a row and ending any glimmer of hope.. And poor Adam Dunn, there is about a ZERO percent chance he can end the year hitting over .200

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) Why do people ignore that Paul Konerko, at age 35, is above his career norms in every offensive category right now? Why do people ignore that Phil Humber is pitching way over the expectations anybody had for him? What about the good fortune (based on his career history) that Quentin has stayed healthy? Or Mark Buehrle having an ERA 3/5 of a run lower than his career norm even though he's into his 30's and had an ERA over a run higher last year than this year? I get that you want to defend Ozzie, but you can't just point out the underachievers and ignore the overachievers. I can pretty much point out whatever I want, I don't really care how you feel about Ozzie.. its my opinion of him, it doesn't matter if Konerko was hitting .600 right now with a million home runs I like Ozzie..
