QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) God no. I'm worried about going in the first place. I kept thinking about all the other idiots who got caught with guns on their way to the theater. I just want to see the movie. Don't own a gun, ask anyone who posts in this forum. Thank you, being able to have a visceral emotional reaction to that statement actually cleared my head more than you'd think. Oh ok.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 05:03 PM) He's not the only one, my manager cancelled a team outing to see Batman because of the shooting. With the recent rash of gun attacks, you can't blame people for being cautious, especially because they are popping up in such public places. It sounded like Balta was saying he was worried about being CAUGHT having his gun on him while he is at the theaters, or maybe I read that wrong.

Rather than be sad and depressed about the shooting in CT today, I'd rather feel proud and thankful for the teachers in that school who followed lockdown protocol, distracted the kids with games and stories, and kept away the madness outside the classroom. It's because of them hundreds or children survived and didn't have to experience the horrors surrounding them. That's what I choose to get out of this.

NBC's TAKE IT ALL gameshow is f***ing despicable. I've never been so mad after watching a game show before. Wow.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 01:23 AM) First question: Why the f*** did you not trade Brett Anderson for Wil Myers? Ha, for real.

Free event at school? Umm.....yes please. http://cms.bsu.edu/Web/Emens/Events/Februa...BillyBeane.aspx I'm sure Billy will get me that Front Office baseball job I've always wanted.

Either you're a paid PR person for Apple or you have some sophisticated search program that finds any miniscule criticism of Apple which triggers you to respond in lengthy detail each time. He's my Evil Apple twin, or would that me make HIS Evil Apple twin? Either way, you get the idea.

QUOTE (Pods70Rowand33 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 09:37 PM) What is GA? This is my third year of being a TA and I'm ready for it to be over. I don't think being a TA takes up a bunch of my time, it's just the lack of effort which bothers me and chasing down students to turn in their reports. I'm just really looking forward to this break I assume Graduate Assistant.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 07:30 PM) I just remembered that Sanchez was originally a Red Sox prospect, then left in the Beckett/Hanley deal. Theo probably still has a hard on for him from those days. He also threw a no-hitter for the Marlins right before he started to suck for a couple years.

Come on Cubs, please don't let him go back to Detroit!

The Angels OF will hit more home runs than the entire Marlins team in 2013. Someone write that down.

5 yrs/$115M? That's my guess.

I'd laugh if it's anywhere near the 7 yrs/$175M Hamilton wants.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 02:01 PM) If Trumbo could play 3B good enough, he'd be playing 3B for the Angels. So you think Trumbo is just going to ride the bench now??? They may as well trade him for some pitching....like Gavin Floyd. EDIT: I suppose they could trade Bourjos instead, and rock a Trumbo-Trout-Hamilton OF.

Olney suggesting Angels are about to strike on a big move. Other writers speculating it could be signing Hamilton. I wonder how Trumbo looks at 3B.....Hmm....

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) Yeah, that's what I mean. Fairly regular. Oh okay. Yeah, Ichrio and Marco Scutaro, those guys make contact on a fairly regular basis.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 01:06 PM) Are you trying to start semantics arguments or something? Sure.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 11:50 AM) Ichiro is simply not that good anymore. He still has pretty good bat control and can make contact on a fairly regular basis, but he generally does not hit the ball with much authority anymore, doesn't walk a great deal, and he isn't the defender he once was. He's a slap singles hitter instead of the gap to gap stolen base machine he was earlier in his career. De Aza is a gap to gap hitter right now, he works a count, hits for a bit of power, and can play an effective CF. Ichiro has had a great career, but he is not going to be much more than a .280 hitter for the rest of his career, and he might not even get to that point. If by fairly regular, you mean about 92%, 5th best in the majors last year, then yeah.

So who here as actually given The Heist a listen besides me? It's my favorite album of the year, and a top 5 favorite album of all time for me.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 12:48 AM) This is odd to me. It's not a great reason, but he is such a weird and creepy guy, and parts of his movies I have seen were just over the top and looked ridiculous. And it probably had something to do with my best friend being obsessed with any movie he makes, so I got sick of him. I mean, my buddy has figurines and action figures and movie posters from Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Grindhouse, Inglorious Basterds, and I've been in the same room as him to see or hear him watch the Django Unchained trailers at least 7 times. His sick obsession probably put me off the most.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) My buddy in Austin got to see it last night and said its "jaw dropping". Can't wait! I really dislike Quentin Tarantino, and refuse to see most of his movies, but Leo looks awesome in the trailers. I may secretly watch this one online and not tell my friend who worships Tarantino.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 10:09 PM) so, at their worst, they are basically the same. I think that's what you asked. Well, -8 would be worse than 0.0, but not vastly different, no.
