So tonight at the Astros/Cardinals game I finally, after 26 years of life, got a ball at a MLB game..

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:39 AM) In all actuality...10-15 isn't all that bad for how completely horses*** this team has played. Not to mention the blown save extravaganza that went on earlier in the month..

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:25 AM) I don't get why some of you are so patient. I look at the standings and want to vomit. I look at our box scores the last 15 games or so and want to vomit. I don't understand how you can be so impatient.. the only two teams who matter (Detroit and Minnesota) aren't very far ahead of us at all, and lucky BOTH lost tonight as well.. If you're vomiting over the standings in April its going to be a long season for you.. relax man, there is a TON of baseball left to be played.. you cant possible think they are going to hit .192 the rest of the season.. its not gonna happen.. And what the hell is with J4L's post above mine, someone hack his account?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 12:33 PM) Empire Carpet Man noooooooooooo I have a VHS of Predator which we recorded off FOX in like 1990 and that comercial comes on like 5 times..

If the owners were like f*** it, the NFL is done EVERY owner would go off and still be a millionaire/billionaire.. the majority of the players from the NFL would be screwed I still don't see why they think they can make any demands here

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 03:28 AM) Of course, that is always going to be the case. If there is a side that has deserved some sympathy in this, it's the players. Nate Jackson wrote a great piece for Deadspin today, obviously from a player's perspective so it's biased, but it's very much worth a read. The players don't deserve anything, they are EMPLOYEES and wouldn't even be making s*** if it weren't for the billionaires that own the teams they are employed too.. Unless it was total BS, the reported offer from the owners sounded more than fair

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 03:25 AM) That was extremely clutch defense. Those two plays were pretty much the equivalent of hitting a game winning 2 run homer. Lillibridge could do that too.. im about to order my BL18 jersey, but I don't know if I want the black one or the home whites

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) Roger Goodell wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal blowing s*** way out of proportion, distorting, and bulls***ting. Literally everything he wrote was bulls***. The parts I found particularly amusing: it was the OWNERS that didn't like the status quo, the players were cool with it, but he's pinning the whole thing on the players like they want a radical overhaul of the system - and, he talks about the union lawyers like they're some sinister bad guys cynically out for personal gain. Ummm as if the NFL doesn't have a god damn army of its own lawyers. Nicely done, Goodell, you have surpassed Bud Selig for s***tiness in a league commisisoner The players and the owners are both assholes They BOTH want more money, they BOTH dont care about the fans.. hopefully we just get football this fall

Ouch Thats some pretty s***ty news if true

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 01:19 AM) Great, but you have to admit all managers play for the tie in that situation. You bunt like the Yankees did. Youre gonna have to let it go greg, everyone on this site thinks theyre a f***ing manager

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) Best case scenerio is 1 win in this 4 game set. oh ye of little faith

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 01:36 AM) To you folks who called Lillibridge (sp) worthless ... he proved tonight he's not worthless. He single-handedly saved that game. and to you folks who said we would get swept or lose 3/4 (greg im talking to you) its time to man up and bow down to lillibridge

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 12:34 PM) I have both systems, and prefer the ps3 95% of the time, but one of the biggest advantages of the 360 is the party mode/multiplayer system. It's not even a close race. How Sony has gone 5+ years without addressing their voice chat system is a move I'll never understand. What sucks about this hack is that my wife and I have been unable to watch most of our television shows. We swore off cable and rely on the PSN to purchase the shows we want to watch. Not being able to do that for nearly a week has been pretty difficult. not just the biggest, THE biggest and only important advantage.. I use the system for gaming more than prolly all of you combined from what I can gather here.. and playing with my friends/family members online and being able to be in that party and not deal with assholes is huge.. If I only played some games, wasnt huge into multiplayer, and just wanted to watch movies and shows I would prolly have a PS3 instead..

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 12:22 PM) I think Steve is about to pull out his +7 magic sword and stab TRU Im wearing my invisibility cloak

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 12:19 PM) No, I don't think that's ridiculous. When did you get your 360? Anyway, I had a 360. I got a PS3 because it's vastly superior in every way for my needs, and we need not get into this little battle. Clearly, we are both happy with our systems. I got the brand new 360 with the wifi and the 250 GB hard drive about a week after it came out, it was $299 How much were PS3's 4 years ago? Still $500?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 12:10 PM) Weren't the PS3 servers for Black Ops terrible for months as well, while the 360 was humming along? You would have to ask HAMBURGER FRIES as I do not know whats goin on with PS3 unless I hear it from him

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) You started it. Yeah because its a fun discussion

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 12:10 PM) $50 for 5 years = $250, I could almost buy an Xbox 360 for that amount of money. In my entire time using PS3 Ive experienced maybe 5 issues with online. 5 issues or $250, Ill take PS3 for $250 Alex. (edit) Different people use their machines for different things. If I was a hardcore online gamer, maybe superior service means something. But since the days of me being competitive online are long gone, I just want a free service that I can have fun with. really, you're projecting out 5 YEARS?.. I think even Steve is gonna have to agree that's a little ridiculous

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 12:05 PM) Its $4.17 a month actually, you rich oil tycoon texan you.... haha, i know man

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) Congratulations, the $50 you spend annually makes up for the one slip up the PSN has ever had. Why? Because who needs money! Yes!! I knew I could count on Steve to make a post about how spending $5 a month for a superior service is teh dumbz!! Quick, someone else make a post about how service upgrades for a 20-24 hour window is the same as getting hacked by people you've pissed off and shut down for a week plus... oh nevermind, some fool already took care of that!!

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 09:11 AM) How about that PSN? Sheesh... Ugh, I hate when XBOX live goes out.. oh wait, that doesn't happen

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 11:59 PM) Cena to Smackdown for 2 hours then drafted back to Raw absolutely pointless, real letdown all the way around! oh GOD DAMMIT I stopped watching after Cena was drafted to Smackdown because I had been wishing for that for YEARS!!!!!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 10:28 AM) Overreactions? We are a half game of out being in 30th out of 30 MLB teams. Thank you for proving my point.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 02:22 AM) Stats are so overrated. for realz

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 01:01 AM) Man if he pulls that off after this start ... Man really? he has a whole 55 ABs in 15 games.. come on people.. hes gonna get like 500 more ABs this season The guy hits .240-.250 you're gonna have to accept that, the avg is going to be low.. but he hasn't hit less than 38 HR's since 2003 so statistically the odds are he is going to hit anywhere between 35-40 HRs by the time this season is over..
