We avoided another close call tonight. If the Padres win, we will be 3.5 games ahead of a protected pick. If they don't win, we will 3 games ahead of a protected pick. The Cubs and Phillies are the only realistic teams we could pass in these last 5 games. 2.5 GB of the Cubs for the 8th pick, 1 GB of the Phillies for the 9th pick.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) a renewed mock draft sept 22, http://www.mymlbdraft.com/MLB-Mock-Draft I know this means absolutely nothing, but just reading the name "Mike Nikorak" makes me cringe. Sounds like a perfect name for a guy we will won't be talking about in 3 years. Has bust written all over his dumb name. Give me a D.J. Stewart or Brendan Rodgers or a Daz Cameron. Those sound like stars.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 03:05 PM) Is Barbara Gordon the daughter of Jim? Because that's what she is supposed to be, and given that Jim is supposed to be relatively young in the series, it doesn't make sense that he would have a kid older than Bruce Wayne Ok, I think I've finally gotten it figured out after reading more Wikipedia. So apparently Commissioner James W. Gordon has a wife named Barbara Gordon. They end up having a son together, also named James Gordon. Then they get divorced and Barbara Gordon ends up giving birth to a girl, and they ALSO name her Barbara. And THAT is the one that becomes Batgirl. So they each named their kids after themselves. What a confusing and dumb thing. So the Barbara Gordon we see now is the mother of the Barbara Gordon who becomes Batgirl, and the mother of the villain that becomes James Gordon.

Sox are really trying their hardest to just f*** this season up even more by winning these pointless games. Sox are now tied for the #10 pick. They win the tiebreaker with the Reds, however, because the Marlins are the 12th spot and the Marlins had a worse record last season, THEY win the tiebreaker over the Sox if they would become tied for the 11th pick......in conclusion.... 6 GB of the Twins for the #5 pick 4 GB of the Red Sox for the #6 pick 3.5 GB of the Astros/Cubs for the #7/#8 pick 1 GB of the Phillies for the #9 pick 0.5 games ahead of the Reds for the #11 pick 2 games ahead of the Marlins for a protected pick.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 10:29 AM) Comic history can change from artist to artist. Cannon changes for shows like this, the show "Smallville" didn't follow the history of the comic very closely, because they needed to stretch it out for the show I get that it changes, like I assume we will never see Mr. Freeze ever again, but it seems weird to have Barbara Gordon still exist in the new series, but have her role completely change. It's like making Robin a character where he is actually Batman's uncle. Would seem bizarre.

Went to the AT&T store and told them about my LG G2 having a dead band across the screen. The lady told me to call the warranty department and they may just send me an LG LG3 since they have pulled the G2 from the shelves. I got really excited. But no such luck. They'll be sending me a new phone at no cost, but it will still be a G2. Oh well, I love this phone anyway.

Played a few hours of The Sims 4 today. Discovered the "community" section of the online portion where you can browse uploaded Sims that people have made. I noticed some celebs, so that got me thinking, and now my Sims neighborhood is populated with Walt, Skyler, and Walt Jr. White in one house, Jesse and Jane (he deserves that) in another house, the Lip, Ian, and Fiona Gallagher in another, and of course, my dreamgirl, Anna Kendrick in another. I then promptly impregnated both Anna Kendrick AND my current GF. My next conquest will be Fiona. I'm interested to see what happens when I got 3 kids with 3 different moms floating around the neighborhood. I already had my old GF throwing up in the bathroom sick w/ the baby while I banged Anna Kendrick 10 feet away from her. putting a new baby in her, and I found that hilarious. Father of the year.

So I'm not a comic reader, and my knowledge on Batman and most superhereos is limited. So I looked up some stuff on Wiki and noticed that "Barbara Gordon" turns in to "Bat girl". That would be cool, except Batman doesn't even exist yet and Barbara is a grown woman. Also, Batgirl is supposed to be the daughter of Commissioner Gordon.....sooo...?? Also, I had no idea Batman ever had a child either.

He hit 96 on the gun at one point tonight in the 6th inning. Didn't notice him throwing that hard in previous starts.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) I've enjoyed it. That said, NHL 15 and Destiny have kinda taken over. I swear, the first games of Madden are enjoyable, and then suddenly it always becomes impossible to do anything but slant routes without getting intercepted. That's my memory of Madden from 5 years ago. Anything straight down the field was always met with an incredible INT where the CB pivots at the last second, or the ball is swatted. Slats, 10-year cross routes and outside pitches were the only 3 things I ever did.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) Really wasn't trying to be sarcastic with my comment, I was seriously wondering if there was something else that would provide a buzz or if it was just to do something while others are as well. But since he didn't mention that part I figured he was still getting some buzz out of it and that confused me. Nope, just like the taste. I smoke flavored cigars too, but not because of any buzz I feel, I just like the taste. I haven't smoked this hookah pen in about 20 minutes and I can still taste the watermelon on my lips.

I didn't know where else to put this, and since there is technology in it, I'll just put it here. Just picked up a hookah pen. I've always enjoyed hookah, but never wanted to buy any of that giant stuff for it, or have to worry about setting my house on fire. But then I was at a buddies house this weekend and we were all passing around a hookah pen he had, and I decided to get one. It was only $17, and it's rechargable. The liquid I bought has no nicotine and no tobacco. It's essentially flavored water I am vaping. This watermelon flavor is tastey though.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) I don't know where else to post this, but is there an app in the world that crashes more than the Sportscenter app? It's worse than what Facebook was 4 years ago. I actually don't remember the last time mine crashed. But it is a painfully slow app. It often sits and loads 4-5 seconds between sports and it will show me the previous days scores until I swipe down to refresh a couple times. I hate the app, but not for crashing problems.

White Sox have moved back to #10 again..... Are 6.5 GB of the #4 pick Are 5 GB of the #5 pick Are 3.5 GB of the #6 pick Are 2.5 GB of the #7 pick Are 0.5 GB of the #9 pick Are 3 games ahead of the Marlins for a protected pick. Also, the Dbacks have finally dethroned the Rangers as the worst record in baseball. Texas held that spot for most of the season.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 08:41 AM) Well I am 3-0 in my money league now. I made a trade last saturday morning getting Julio Jones for Andre Johnson and Ryan Matthews, and then Matthews got hurt the next day. So my line up looks like this now with some FAs added. Remember 10 team league. QB Aaron Rodgers (hasn't done much) RB Eddy Lacy (huge disappointment so far) RB Ahmad Bradshaw (my best RB lol) WR Dez Bryant WR Julio Jones WR Emmanuel Sanders TE Vernon Davis FLEX Reggie Wayne DEF Bengals K Dan Bailey Bench QB Tony Romo RB Chris Johnson RB Terrance West RB Joique Bell WR Josh Gordon WR Steve Smith TE Jason Witten Once Rodgers and Lacy turn it around, your team is pretty damn awesome.

Had my draft tonight. It really sucks being in a league with all Hawks fans. Sharp, Kane, and Toews all went in the first 2 rounds. I did end up getting Keith, and I picked up Tuevo just for fun. Really excited about getting Drouin. Picked Crosby w/ my 2nd overall pick.

f***, lost again. 1-2 now. My RBs just really blow.

Also, my G2 is experiencing some dead spot issues on the screen. I am still within the 1-year manufacturer's warranty for defects, but I am not sure if that means I will have to be without a phone for like 1-2 weeks while my phone is shipped to LG, and then a new one is shipped back to me. I'm wondering if I can just wander in to an AT&T and see if they can swap out a new phone for me or not. I'm not sure how that works, I've never had an issue with a phone. Also, I noticed there is some sort of $6 phone insurance charge on our family plan, but I'm not sure what that covers, or for whose phone it is even insuring. It's listed under my number, but we all take eachother's upgrades, so I'm not sure it actually applies to my phone.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 09:41 PM) Part of a 4 person family plan it's like what, $40 a month total? Found it on their site, unlimited talk/text/10gb of data per month: 2 lines: $130 3 lines: $145 4 lines: $160 So just get on their family plan and save a ton. And use a company's savings code to cut more. We are on that plan. The 3 lines for $145. It's $100 for the 10 GB data plan, and then $15 per line. However, both of my parents have opted in to that AT&T Next plan, which makes you pay the FULL price of a phone over 2 years. So my dad is paying an additional $12.50 a month for his Galaxy S3, and my mom is paying an additional $27 a month for her iphone. So while I only pay $50 a month right now, they pay $62.50 and $77 a month respectively. However, once I decide to get a new phone, apparently that $15 a month will go up to $40 a month with a new 2-year agreement UNLESS I decide to opt in to the AT&T Next plan, which means I too will end up paying a monthly price for a phone. Assuming I get a nice phone like an LG G3 or something, it will probably be $25-$30 a month, essentially what the rate increase would be from $15-$40 if I stayed on the 2-year agreement plan.

Downloaded The Sims 4 today. Haven't played a Sims game in like 4 or 5 years, but I just got the itch for it, and I found it for free. My guy is so f***ing poor. I had about $130, have only like 3 windows in my house, no wallpaper, absolutely nothing in my living room, no TVs, lol. My guy is so bored, and he only makes $9 an hour as a criminal. Hoping that life of crime will pay off eventually, then I get can get out of the business before I die or get thrown in jail (can that happen?).

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 01:49 PM) And yet you keep coming into the draft position tracking thread to comment about it. He's already told us that this thread personally offends him, yet he seems to be very active in it.

You could show that Semien HR to 100 baseball fans, and not a single one would guess it would be a HR off that swing. No idea how he hit out and out by like 40 feet. I would have guessed he was blooping that over 3B.

White Sox now have the #9 pick, are..... 6.5 GB of the #4 pick (best possible remaining) 4 GB of the #5 pick 3.5 GB of the #6 pick 2.5 GB of the #7 pick 1.5 GB of the #8 pick 3 games ahead of the Padres for a protected pick

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 10:40 AM) If the Apple subreddit is any indication, iOS 8 is buggier than all hell. My favorite bug is the music app deleting people's tracks whenever they listen to them. Apple starting to get acquainted with the difficulty of rolling out updates to a myriad of devices Apple products just, work.

Someone needs to find a word on this list to use for Konerko to rival the whole "Re2pect" thing that Jeter has. http://www.morewords.com/contains/ia/ i - 1 a - 4
