QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:57 PM) Munster, IN I'd move OUT of the Munster area and to a little spot in Northern Arizona, just an hour or so north of Phoenix, around the Flagstaff area.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 02:42 PM) Ha, I watched it to. Two takeaways-wow those brain injuries really really change who you are. Second, his brother with down syndrome was one of the most amazing kids I've ever seen. So self aware and in tune to others emotions. The whole family wanted to speak up to kevin and it took his challenged brother to step up and do it. I had to watch the part about him many times. Also seeing Sarah Burke interviewed then die during the filming was f***ed up. I need to check this out.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 01:59 PM) Yesterday certainly didn't help his cause. Other than that outting however, he's been good. Hello C prospect! Yeah, for real. He won't even bring in a Brandon Jacobs.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 12:35 AM) I don't buy this back up talk at all. If he was in a system like the red sox or cubs he would be getting so much love and the majority of these "prospect experts" would be gushing over him. Keep it up Marcus, no one gushed over Paul Goldschmidt or Matt Carpenter either and look where they are. I hope the sox take a page out of the marlins book and promote him from AA. I did. Back in 2010 I was talking this dude up and said the Sox need to trade for him after that monster 35 HR season. Less than 3 years later, the dude is an MVP candidate.

Got to hang with the lady today. We watched most of Fight Club before I had to go to my softball game. She told me to leave the DVD at my house so she can come over this weekend and finish it, then got a kiss goodbye. I think it's working out well, just need to keep this up for 3 more weeks before I go back to school.

I'm not sure if Under the Dome has been discussed yet, but I'm giving it a shot until Hell on Wheels and Breaking Bad start in a couple weeks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 11:07 PM) Junior Lake off to a Puig-like start for the Cubs. I always wondered why he wasn't more highly-regarded as a prospect. My projection is Brent Lillibridge career.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:57 PM) Semien is Dat Dude right now. If Alexei does get moved you think we see him or Tyler Greene? Twitter handle, DatDudeMS?

Caught up on Ray Donovan. Like someone else said, it's a decent show, but it still has yet to give me a reason to care each week. It's just guys doing things.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) But, everybody rates Hawkins waaay above Semien. I don't get it. If Hawkins had those numbers....... If our highest ceiling'd player had the best numbers in our system, obviously people would be more excited.

Nice resource.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 12:20 AM) What kids? I am convinced a.) you are going to have at least one night of wild sex with her this summer. If not she's wasted a lot of time flirting, etc. Or b.) you are going to get one heck of a 'i'm glad you are my friend' speech before you go back to school. She has been babysitting these kids since they were like 3 years old, and one of them got sick and was hospitalized yesterday morning. So last night she was asked to stay at their house and watch this this morning while the parents went to work or the hospital, not sure which one.

Hawkins hits HR #18. Micah is 2/4, with 2 SB. Now hitting .321 in High-A with 7 SB in 18 games.

I am halfway through Orange is the new Black. I don't think it's anywhere close to as funny or good was Weeds was in the beginning. There doesn't seem to really be an overarching story line. Nothing really exciting or funny is happening. I'll continue to watch because I find it intriguing, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 07:44 PM) My girl is coming over to watch Fight Club tonight after her doctor's appointment. Everything went really well today at work. We texted all day, we talked a lot during breaks, we joked around and actually looked at each other, it was pretty much back to normal. Hopefully tonight goes well too. And scratch all that. She has to take care of the kids tomorrow morning, so she can't come over. Womp womp.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 07:58 PM) Don't invite girls over to watch fight club She asked to come over and she asked to watch Fight Club. It's her favorite movie. I barely even liked it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 08:17 PM) Was there no attendance announced last night? 41,000, but there is NO f***ING WAY that was representative of what I saw in the seats. I was there last night, and it looked about 20-22K.

Olacio hasn't allowed an ER in at least 20 IP.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 11:16 AM) Yup. Still living happily ever after. I still talk to her once in awhile. I was pretty naive back then. Wow, what a kick in the nuts.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 01:47 AM) Sounds like Cubs are also close to sending Soriano to the Yankees. http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/yankees/sor...z0N9Kn8CCldxIEK LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Tim Brown ‏@TBrownYahoo now Yankees close to acquiring Alfonso Soriano, according to NY Post.

I am guessing Peavy is our big trade, and then we trade Crain and Lindstrom for lackluster returns. Then that's it. I'm hoping to see like 5 or 6 deals, but I'm betting it's just those guys moved in the end.

Updates for anyone still following this saga..... I'd say I came out ahead today overall. Some bad news, but mostly good news I'd say. My girl Jess did some recon for me. Texted her saying "Joe came by and bought a rose from me last week. How are you guys doing?" or something to that effect. She replied... "Yeah, he put it on my car. :)" End of convo. So at that point I'm pumped. I'm back in this thing. Then...... I get a text from Jazzy saying "Sending Jess to do your dirty work, huh?". I replied yes, I asked Jess to find out what is going on, because I clearly have no idea. She then proceeded to tell me it was shady of me and if I wanted to know I should ask her myself. I explained to her that her lack of texting and short responses didn't seem very inviting to have a real conversation, plus she wouldn't hang out with me this weekend, so I couldn't talk to her in person. We then went back and forth texting a bit before she sent me a kind of s***ty text saying "I wasn't dicking you around, I worked 57 hours last week. I had a day off and I spent said day at f***ing Warped tour. I love talking to you, but it's not my first priority. I texted you yesterday and you didn't respond...soo..." Now I am like, f*** this s***, I'm not replying. I do my show at 2, get off the air at 3 and get out of the station by 3:15, before she even showed up. Luckily no one at work questioned why I needed to leave early, so when she arrived and presumably asked where I was, no one knew why. I wanted her to think maybe it was because I was avoiding her. Seemed like a good idea. She texted me about an hour later saying "Where are you?". My buddy told me not to even respond. Let her stew on it, and then snapchat her a pic of US Cellular when we walk in to the game. So that's what I did. Sometime after the game around 10 I get a response from her saying she was out with friends playing laser tag. I said "Nice. How was the show today?", blah blah blah, making small talk. Then in the middle of the convo she says "Movie night tomorrow?". I play it off. "That's cool". I think I'm back baby! Hopefully tomorrow goes well at work and when she comes over and we will be back to normal. Good to know that her main issue w/ us dating was me going back to school, considering that was MY main issue with us dating as well.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 01:21 AM) Sony Xperia Z is also waterproof. That is so cool, assuming "waterproof" also means water functional, like I could theoretically text underwater, although that would be difficult.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 12:57 AM) Nice, don't return her texts from the game. Then the next day at work if she asks just say you were so busy into the game you didn't do much texting. Or send her one text in reply like, 'this Sox game is amazing. lotta fun.' The recon girl might give you some valuable information. I'm hoping I get valuable info. I certainly won't be texting "this Sox game is amazing. Lotta fun." Because 1) Sox will probably lose, lol, and 2) I'm not about that "look how much fun I am having! Be jealous of me!" type angle here. I'd rather tweet something like that, not directly try to throw something in her face. In fact, speaking of tweeting things about having fun, after rarely tweeting at all this week, I mean like maybe 3 times this week, she just shot off about 5 tweets in the past hour. Wondering if that's a cry for attention, or just me looking WAY to far in to it and it's just a random occurrence.
