QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 6, 2013 -> 08:39 PM) I got them -20.5. I hope so. 21-0 now. I can't believe they had to punt the ball earlier in the game. This is a laugher.

Oh boy. We just went 96 yards in 3 plays. 14-0 with 4 minutes left in the first quarter. This could get ugly soon....

The Will To Retweet?

Cubs hire Rick Renteria as their new manager. Talk about settling.

Touchdown Ball State! 80-yard opening drive TD. Raining day here in Muncie. I really would have liked to take the 3 minute walk across the street to the stadium, but it's just too cold and rainy and I got the Hawks on my computer with the BSU game on my TV. I'm content.

Ball State takes on Central Michigan in 90 minutes on ESPN2. Yay! I pumped to see this 8-1 team get some National TV play. Should be an easy W, but we'll see. Still can't believe we lost to North Texas. Tonight could have made us the only 10-0 team in the country.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 6, 2013 -> 03:50 PM) I bought a $241k one. Nice 10 car garage. Yeah, all the 10 car garage places have the exact same interior, so you are really just choosing location. My $235K pad is right near the middle, next to the construction site. I'm pleased. And now with this $500K, I am real close to being able to buy the Entity XF for like $890K or whatever it costs.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 6, 2013 -> 10:17 AM) Yes, because he was the best pitcher Yes.....and for the right reasons.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 10:05 PM) Guess we're the tough luck message board this year, everyone seems real high in points and low in the standings. Yep, I am 4th in pts, but in 10th place and eliminated from the playoffs. My team has allowed the most points against. Everyone has a god damn career day whe they play me.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 6, 2013 -> 03:26 PM) stimulus. It's been released?

The only item I see now that may still be listed wrong is this 39" Vizio 1080p LED Smart TV for only $398. On the main page it shows this TV for $1700, but when you click it it's now $398. That's a great deal if I was in the market. http://www.walmart.com/ip/VIZIO-E390I-A1-3...62-TJR-23565842

FWIW, my G2 has an amazing camera with some awesome features I've never seen before (many apologies if these features have been around for 20 years and I am the last to know). The battery is apparently the best on the market. I took a screen shot of my battery manager app that showed I was at 98% battery after 3 hours of use with an estimated 156 hours left. LOL. And this was after moderate texting, checking twitter, and a couple rounds of Plants vs. Zombies. Now obviously 160+ hours is not typical, but I can get 30+ hours if I am not playing many games. So for me, camera and battery life were my two biggest areas of interest going in to choosing my phone last week, and I feel like the guy at Best Buy pushed me in a fantastic direction, and for only $50, it was worth every penny so far. EDIT: Also, the "knock on" feature is something I never thought I'd use so much, but it's now ALL I use. I can't imagine having to find a side button to turn my phone on again. Phones will buttons on the face probably don't need this feature, but phones with buttons on the sides need this big time. Basically I can wake up and screen lock my phone by just double tapping on the screen. I don't have to pick up my phone or feel for a button to turn on the screen I just tap with my finger and it pops up. It's a very nice touch.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) Scherzer is going to win it and he should. I just hope it's for the right reasons.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 10:13 PM) He has 4.4 on his G2? He has 4.4 on whatever phone he has. EDIT: He has a Galaxy Nexus.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 10:14 PM) bWAR had Iwakuma #1? WTF? Yeah, I certainly wasn't using bWAR to make my judgement. I didn't realize that anyone actually did.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 09:53 PM) I completely forgot about Sanchez. Man, was he ever overshadowed by Scherzer! Scherezer, Felix, Sanchez, Iwakuma, Sale, Darvish would be my top 6.

Just found out that an Android 4.4 update will be coming to my G2 very soon. Very nice. A buddy of mine has it and is suggesting his friends to root their phones just to get it a couple weeks or months earlier than their manufacturer will release it. He is raving about it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 11:48 AM) The biggest draw to the new version of the Fire is the ability to download an Amazon Prime show for on-the-go watching. That's the only company that I know of that is offering that option. Comcast's Xfinity app allows you to download shows and movies for on-the-go. It's based on the network though, so I think SHOtime shows allow for it while HBO shows do not.

Iwakuma as the 3rd finalist instead of Felix or Anibal Sanchez? WHAT? But regardless, I'd give Scherzer the CY, and it has nothing to do with wins. Felix with be my #2.

Hey look at that, some interesting things happened in Boardwalk this season! Van Alden is back baby. RIP George Mueller.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 11:01 AM) AZ is expected to discuss with the Cubs about Samardzija so they're looking for pitching. Q should be considered the better pitcher, not sure if I can say the same about Santiago. ERA wise Santiago put up a better number but everywhere else I'd probably give it to Jeff. I'm actually ok with giving Gillaspie/Kepp another year, he's a LH bat who wasn't THAT BAD. I'd rather try to snag Owings/Parra/Barrett which would then open the door to trading Lexi and Reed. Q is exactly who I had in mind to trade to AZ with that line-up construction. My proposed trade would be something like Quintana and Carlos Sanchez for Parra, 3B Davidson, and either C Trahan or SS Owings.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 01:28 PM) I think it just boils down to Javy being an enigma nothing will ever be able to explain. Yeah, he is quite the case study.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 06:32 AM) I played T-ball as a little one and my junior high had a 16 inch softball team I played for, but never baseball. I never even played T-ball growing up. Ha. My older brothers both played t-ball and little league, but somehow my parents never signed me up for it. I played soccer, hockey, football, bowling, softball, and even a regional basketball tournament in elementary school, although I never liked basketball or played on a real team. But never once played on a field with a baseball. It's weird that I love it so much.

I wonder if I am the only person here who never played baseball a day in his life. Funny how that works. I played every major organized sport out there, but never played baseball. And now, it's EASILY my favorite sport, my obsession, really.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 4, 2013 -> 09:14 PM) Kiley McDaniel's updated prep rankings: http://sbb.scout.com/2/1343076.html Gatewood with a big drop. I also spy a local guy making it on the list from my neck of the woods. , a catcher from Libertyville. TCU commit. Hey look, 1B Braxton Davidson at #3. I still wouldn't mind that pick, especially if Abreu is apparently a future DH. EDIT: Nevermind, these are prep players duh. I didn't even realize this list was omitting all the top college players.
