Deck McGuire both surprises and intrigues me.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis just won the AMA for hip hip/album of the year. Much deserved. It was up against Magna Carta....Holy Grail and Good Kid, M.a.a.d city.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 09:27 AM) Super Mario Kart is the SNES iteration. I know we all have discussed this before, but Double Dash is my favorite. I loved being able to combine different skill sets. MK Wii is pretty awesome though I realize that, I just didn't know anyone liked it better than Mario Kart 64.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 01:27 AM) Super Mario Kart is the worst Mario Kart I can't tell if this is a trick question, because the game I loved and still play is Mario Kart 64, which is maybe what was in mind when the poster said "Super Mario Kart".

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 23, 2013 -> 08:30 PM) Do a barrel roll! I was playing GTA 5 online and we were finishing up a very difficult and long mission where we had to steal a plane. We finally cleared the area and I took the plane to fly it back to end the mission. I shouted "DO A BARREL ROLL!" in my headset and then proceeded to barrel roll in to a building and fail the mission. My accomplices were not amused.

Salty must be happy. He just went from the predicted 3 years/$27M to something like 5 years/$60M.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 21, 2013 -> 11:05 PM) We didn't have all the info. $2,100 charged at Target and Walgreens in Warrenville and Hillside before fraud alert went off. All on giftcard. So stupid they didn't check ID. Already got video. Two black guys. Someone stole her wallet off her desk at f***ing work. Security cams there should be interesting tomorrow. Thanks goodness for $0 owed with fraud protection. The two hours at the police department sucked tonight, though. THAT'S RACIST.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 09:09 PM) That trade opened third back up for Castellanos, don't think they'll make a trade there. Right. I don't think they are going to give up players just to block their top prospect when he is ML ready.

QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 05:39 PM) I wonder if the Cards would be more open to an Alexei deal now that they were able to bring in another outfield prospect into the mix (maybe for Piscotty straight up like people have suggested before?). Yeah, that's what I was saying earlier. Piscotty was already behind Tavaras, and now they just added 2 more OFs. The minor league OF they got from the Angels was the #4 prospect in LAA, but I'm not sure how he would stack up in the Cardinals mind to Piscotty. But I'm think our chances of them giving us Piscotty should go up considerably after this move. And then they also have OF James Ramsey, their 2012 1st RD pick who will be in either AA or AAA this season. They have a plethora of young OFers.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 05:32 PM) Loved that game. So ridiculous, I usually had 40 homeruns for every player in the lineup by May Mike Cameron was a stud for me every single season, almost as much so as Frank Thomas. But speaking of that game, I found this quiz.... http://www.sporcle.com/games/tabb/griffeyquiz I got 5 out of 8, but the Rockies player was right on the tip of my tongue, I just couldn't spit it out. Never would have gotten the Twins one.

I still have a never-been-opened Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball for N64. Who wants it for $100?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 12:14 PM) Heavy Rain was a great game. It was so unique and the story was awesome. Yep. Easily the best storyline of any game I've played. My only gripe with Heavy Rain was how fast I beat it. I think it took me something like 8-10 hours to beat, all of which I did in 1 day because the storyline was so engrossing.

I'd rather this indicate that a Alexei for Pisciotty trade is more likely. Cardnals added 2 OFers in this deal. Pisciotty is also behind Tavaras as well. I hope that's the direction Hahn is looking, and not Jon Jay.

Why do we keep getting other teams trades/signings in the Pale Hose Talk subforum?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 01:04 AM) That was supposed to be for chili. Nice diversion.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 12:43 AM) You've got to be the king of cherry-picking stats. Why don't we look at just the last 3 years? Salty at 7.1 vs Vargas at 4.5. Or how about the last 2 years? Salty at 5.5 vs Vargas at 2.3. Or maybe just last year? Salty at 3.6 vs Vargas at 1.5. Nope, let's purposely include the year (2010) when Salty had 30 plate appearances in order to make some bogus claim. We all get you think Salty sucks. Do you really have to derail a completed unrelated thread with this nonsense? Lol, he had 30 PA in 2010, yet he included that season to make a point? lol, that's some real bias in numbers there.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 21, 2013 -> 06:13 PM) Dave Cameron made a great point in his Vargas write up...who would you rather have, Jason Vargas at 4 years, $32 million or Tim Lincecum at 2 years, $35 million? Vargas.

I hope that Avi thing is not true, but we also only have to go on some radio personality for this information.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 11:19 PM) The League is still awesome. Yeah, both those episodes were pretty funny. Not happy with the way the league champion was crowned, but had some great one liners.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 11:15 PM) Interested to see how Rick responds to this trade If anything, this was a response to the Sox taking taking Abreu.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 09:30 PM) Now that Texas has cleared it's middle infield glut, Ramirez to Cardinals might be more of a possibility. This is a good point.

QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 09:30 PM) That may be the dumbest thing I've read today I mean, he is right in the sense that Fielder would probably get at least $138M on the open market today, but he is ignoring the fact that Cano's deal is going to be just as awful in a few years. Cano won't even be close to being worth $27-28M in 3 or 4 years.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 09:14 PM) Twitter rumors saying 40 million going to Texas. That would make Prince's contract much more reasonable. Would take it from $24M a year down to a little over $18M. That's more realistic, albeit still a lot.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 09:02 PM) Slugged .413 and plays a below-average 2B. Maybe WAR isn't everything? Maybe slugging % isn't everything. Also, he referring to bWAR, which most people consider less accurate than fWAR, which graded Kinsler out at a 2.5 WAR, which seems more appropriate. Still though, it was higher than Prince's 2.2 fWAR last yaer.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) Maybe should try a split finger pitch then. A lot of pitchers have sucess with it. I can't even remember the last guy the Sox had who threw one unless you count Contrersas and his forkball. Doesn't seem like they teach it in the Sox system perhaps because it's hard on the elbow and shoulder ? Freddy Garcia.
