I'll be keeping my eye on Zewski, Danish, and Keon Barnum.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 06:50 PM) Carcillo brings a lot more to the table than Bollig plus he didnt have all that many penalties during the year and made a conscious effort to clean up his game. But that being said he's more of a pest like Bolland but not likely to see him at all so it's mute . Stalberg is a big guy so wanting just size didnt matter . Bollig had 0 hits during the 2nd game. I would LOVE it if Stalberg ends up with 4 or 5 hits tonight. Show Q that he can be just as physical as Bollig, yet actually posses offensive skills.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 06:56 PM) This is mostly why I'm paid what I'm paid. Because people suck at technology. Especially the ones that think they're good at it. The guy has already given me an extra license he had for Sony Vegas Pro 10. Having him as a contact has paid off very handsomely already.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 06:29 PM) The more I think about it the more confused I get about the Bollig decision knowing Q could have chosen Stalberg, Carcillo even Jamal Mayers . I'd rather have Carcillo or Mayers over Bollig just based on playoff experience alone. IMO, I'd rather have John Scott than Carcillo. I can't stand that guy, both in his lack of skills, and his dirty style of play. I think Q took Bollig over Stalberg for a couple reasons. 1, Stalberg has had a bad playoffs. Not that he was doing a lot of things wrong, but he just wasn't doing much of anything. He was invisible. 2, Stalberg has been in Q's doghouse recently, and I think he was going to be the first to go if Q wanted size, and 3, Q wanted size for whatever reason.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 06:28 PM) Ohh...so it wasn't so much that YOU knew more about computers and technology than your friends, but your tech guy did....got it. I suppose more like I have more patience for computers to figure out the problems. It is nice having a tech guy I can text though to get tips on things like that.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 06:23 PM) Ahh, because earlier, you said something like "what he didn't notice" was that the Vista key was on a sticker on the bottom of the computer... But whatever, people here just enjoy giving you a hard time. I should have said "What WE didn't notice". I thought the OS disc was tied to a key, but after I texted our TECH guy at work to find out what can be done, he informed me of the sticker, in which I showed my friend (he was in the room w/ me while I was texting and trying to figure it out), but he lost his Vista disc anyway, so we thought it didn't matter. It wasn't until after I bought the computer from him that I realized I probably had a Vista disc from one of our other computers, and that I found out all those discs are the same, it's the STICKER that matters. I COULD tell even more of the story, in which HE actually looks like a real jerk here, but I don't have any reason to make him look bad, the whole point of the story was not about "who is right here", it was just the surprisingly laziness of some people when it comes to technology, even if it costs them money in the end.

Very pleased to see Stalberg back and Bollig out. Hawks needs to play to their strengths. Hitting and being physical isn't their bread and butter. They need Stalberg and his speed to help offensive chances.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 06:14 PM) What are you, 12? Sheesh. It's not a contest. Just behave and be nice. Contest about what? I get attacked, I respond, and then I get yelled at for fighting? What the hell is that? And then on top of all that an ADMIN mocks me as well? Nice....real nice.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 01:25 PM) Must be the blowjob guy. Nailed it! No, really, haha.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 12:27 PM) And then brag about it on the Internet, as if being a s***ty person is impressive. I was not "bragging", I just found it crazy how lazy some people are when it comes to learning technology, and how knowing something about computers can be so valuable. Get off your damn high horse and stop with the attacks. Ah nevermind, I'll just report you.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 11:07 AM) It didn't sound right, but I assumed IK probably had a friend that was sick of dicking with his computer. People can be like that sometimes. I've been given stuff like that just because the original owner didn't want to continue stressing about it. That's what I'm saying. I told him how to fix it, told him there should be a sticker on the bottom of the system, and told him to get it fixed, then I'd buy it. He decided instead he was just sick of having it and told me to take it for $20. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 12:03 PM) Hah...so the computer isn't worth $75-80 bucks because it doesn't have an OS? That's something you do to a schlep on Craigslist, not your friend. He originally wanted $50, I told him to see if he could better offers elsewhere, and I'd match whatever offer he got. He eventually got an offer for $75, I matched it, no one would offer more, so after about 2 weeks, he agreed to sell it. THEN, when it messed up, HE said "just give me $20 and take it off my hands". I never once demanded a price from him, and I told him how to fix it. Not my fault he is lazy and didn't want to do it himself.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 12:43 PM) It's an incredibly stupid "nickname", by the way, especially when a much simpler/better one is staring everyone in the face: XBOneD. That said, it's not out yet, as many of you have gone over already. My initial impression of it is negative, however, but so was my initial impression of the 360, which I thought was better than the PS3, with a much better gaming network. Oh my, that is bad.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 01:04 PM) You are the most combative person ever. Relax. Lol, he attacked me first.

Place Beyond the Pines was a weird movie. Without spoiling it, I'll just say Ryan Gosling does not seem like the main character at all.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 09:30 AM) This really is one of the most hilariously ironic and contradictory posts I've ever seen on here. We're sitting here saying "how can you say it's better when neither is out" yet you've already gone ahead and nicknamed the new XBox product the "XBox Done." Way to go. You think I nicknamed it that? My god, try going on the internet every once in a while. And yes, I think it's fair to say we have no idea what the online will be like, yet we know what all the specs are for both, we know the policies in place for both, we know the prices of both, we know the capabilities of both. One of the few unknowns here is how the online experiences will be. Hilarious. Way to go.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 10:06 AM) It's not just you. He's bragging about getting over on his "friend." We get it dude, you are real pissed everyone is making fun of you for loving the Xbox. You can kindly get off my nuts now.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 09:45 AM) TL;DR Version: He ripped off his friend some guy, but insists on calling that guy his friend. You aren't his friend. Friends don't knowingly rip each other off. If it's just me that felt this way after reading this, fine...I'm a dick. Wouldn't have it any other way. Nah, you don't know the whole story at all actually. So you're actually way off base with your attacks.

Just bought a nearly 4-year-old Sony Vaio off a friend of mine....for $20. I was originally going to pay $75 for it. Then he decided before he was going to give it to me that he would wipe the harddrive......which deletes the operating system....which he lost the disc/key for (He upgraded it from Vista to Windows 7). So he said he'd go buy a student version of Win7 when he went down to IU for $20, so I agreed to throw in $5 to be nice. Now the price is at $80. Well he tries the new disc, and finds out it won't work, because it's an UPGRADE disc, one that requires an OS be on the system to upgrade, well there is no OS on it since he wiped it and lost the install disc/key. So frustrated that he thinks he just bricked the system, he says I can take it off his hands for $20, and then buy my own OS for it, then use his upgrade disc to make it Windows 7. What he didn't realize is that the product key for his Vista OS, which is what came on the computer, is on a sticker on the bottom of his computer. So I simply found MY windows Vista disc from my other laptop, put it in the computer, changed the BIOS settings to have it boot from my disc, installed Windows Vista using his old product key. Then, because it at that point had an OS on it, put in the Win7 disc, installed Win7, upgrading the OS from 32-bit to 64-bit, and BOOM, got a pretty nice Sony Vaio laptop for $20. Sometimes it really pays to know enough about technology and computers. It's a shame too because I gave him every chance to fix the problem himself, and then sell it to me for $80, but he was too lazy and just wanted the computer gone.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 02:54 PM) We've all beat the system for years. GameStop has a policy where you can buy a used game and return it, no questions asked, within 7 days. Skyrim was the only game that I actually bought in years. I don't play sports games. I buy, flip and t return. The GameStop dudes know I do it and we talk about it. Those days are done though. I have no problem paying for content. Hell, I buy all my music. I still pirate all my movies and don't care though. I find the whole groupthink aspect of the new consoles hilarious. For some reason gaming beings out the worst in people. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon and are like "PS4 totally owns dude." Shut up. You're 34. Look at the way Chilihead talks. He sounds like an 11 year old from Alabama "owning" people. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 11, 2013 -> 12:30 AM) Micro$oft got PWNed, duuuuuuude. Damn. He got me. If oooooonly I was clearly being sarcastic. Rats.

I think I am getting a white Clark Griswold #00 jersey for my birthday. So excited.

QUOTE (TRU @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 03:38 AM) Anyone who hangs onto a game long past its prime is an idiot. I haven't paid full price for a game in about 4 years because of smart trading. I also traded in Bioshock 3 days after I bought it because I beat it and was done with it. It cost me no money to buy the game and I got $30 of credit for it. Its the smart thing to do. I only keep the games I feel were really amazing, could be classics, or will likely never get a sequel, like Far Cry 3, Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Autos, The Bigs 2, etc. I think I only have like 9 PS3 games, because I trade them in generally. My most guilty trade-in was AC3 so far. I beat the game in 2 weeks, and was only offered $30 for it from all the retailers. So I offered it on Craiglist and got $40 or $45 for it.

Did you guys know we drafted but obviously failed to sign Audry Santana back in 2010? Also, we drafted Marcus Semien in 2008, failed to sign him, and then redrafted and obviously signed him in 2011.

TaylorSt, How the HELL can you say the online experience is better on the XboxDone, when NEITHER IS EVEN OUT YET. You think Sony is going to suddenly charge "13 cents a day" and then do nothing to improve their online systems except add party-chat? That's extremely shortsighted.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 04:46 PM) motherf***er you need to find a redbox if you're dropping games after 5 hours That's what I'm screaming. The money he saves by trading in games early in their release is negligible to the money he'd save on just rent it for 5 days for like $12.

Micah Johnson is 1/1, 2B, BB, 53rd SB. Also made his 18th error. OUCH.
