No, but really, what an odd and useless trade. If I had to guess, Kenny must have said "Hey, my son is buried on this depth chart of talented minor league OFers, please trade him somewhere he has a chance." because maybe Kenny never had the soul to trade away his own flesh and blood. I don't know, but it's an odd trade considering they both suck.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 2, 2012 -> 12:58 AM) Yeah, that's exactly how their professional relationship works. I was being completely serious.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Nov 1, 2012 -> 10:58 PM) Making a splash is what this team needs. The team as is, will still come in 2nd to Detroit. Yeah, I agree. Considering the Tigers are getting V-Mart back next year, and Scherzer breaking out, they should be a lock for 90+ wins (I know, I know, we all thought the same thing a year ago). Sox need an actual upgrade at 3B or SP.

Hahn - "Suck it Kenny."

Anyone watch The Colony? I think I was posting about it last spring when I was catching up on Netflix. Apparently S3 is on hold indefinitely because one of the marauders (who are actors) KILLED a participant on the show! I guess the person hit the other person on the head, and he or she fell down the stairs and died.

I watch a s*** ton of shows, I will break them up by category. Comedies and Dramas. Dramas: Breaking Bad The Killing Dexter The Borgias Luther Justified Sherlock Homeland Revolution Boardwalk Empire Breaking Amish The Colony The Middle Weeds Wilfred Eastbound and Down Workaholics The League Parks and Rec Tosh.0 Shameless And whatever you want to call Dirty Jobs....educational?

Yeah, I can get 8 GB off Amazon for like $100-115. I am just wondering if you guys think it will really make much of a difference in my video editting or not. Being a college kid, being able to afford it means asking for it for Xmas.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) Its 150 on amazon? Newegg. I didn't start looking around yet because I didn't know if I should pursue it or not. Amazon probably has it cheaper.

Made the mistake of assuming Best Buy would get my copy of AC3 to me on release day like Amazon does. Instead, it won't arrive here until Saturday. Bahhh.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2012 -> 12:45 PM) I was going to say install something that would tell if he's maxing out his RAM. I had a problem with videos and it turned out it was a function of my video player. Well, I have 4 GB of RAM, and my computer can hold up to 8 GB (2 x 4GB sticks). I'm just not sure if I want to spend the $150 to upgrade my RAM if I am not sure if it's going to change a whole lot. I just want to be able to continue editting videos on this baby, since I do so much video editing in my major.

My god, what a stupid episode of Revolution.

Ok, so my laptop is now struggling to play high-quality videos smoothly. When I am editting on Sony Vegas, the playback is choppy. I need to pretty much close all my other applications and restart my computer to begin working on a video (even then, it's still stuttering). Now when I render the video and play it back (compressed video), it plays fine and smooth. Is it safe to assume I need to upgrade the RAM on this baby? Or should I delete crap off the laptop and do a disk fragmentation and clean up? The laptop is 4 1/2 years old and has 4 GB of RAM running an Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 @ 2.20 GHz, and it's a 32-bit OS.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 31, 2012 -> 05:41 PM) He is coming off the worst season of his career and will be 30 and a free agent after 2013. If he has a bounce back year, he could be a good trading chip at the deadline. Yeah, I didn't realize how horrendous he was in 2012. I thought he was still that same sub-3 WAR pitcher.

I'd love to trade Thornton and Floyd, and I wouldn't be against trading Crain. But those are really the only pricey players I wouldn't mind losing.

This may rule out the Floyd for Moustakas pipedream trade people here were asking for.

Ervin Santana + Cash to the Royals for minor league RP Brandon Sisk. That's a damn low asking price.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 31, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) Right your anecdotal evidence doesnt really sway me much as my family and I have bought over 10 dell computers in the last 15 years, and Dell has been nothing but amazing if there were any issues, including when they completely replaced my computer 2 weeks after the warranty was up. That is in comparison to when I bought my Alienware (before they were owned by dell) computer and they basically told me "tough break". Ive owned basically every brand of computer from IBM to Apple, so it wasnt about the brand, it was about the graphics card, processor, etc. Its not about price which is why I asked if Alienwares were overkill for normal use. My family used to always buy Gateways, but now we all stick with Dell (my brother went Lenovo because he got it for like $200). Never had real problems.

I am pretty sure there is a chart somewhere of all the 2013 and future obligations, but I can't remember where it is. I am just wondering what our 2013 payroll is currently at, so we know how much left he have to spend. I'm guessing a slight bump in payroll, from $97M to about $100M, so I wonder how far away we are from that. I feel like our payroll is going to exceed that without signing anyone new, just based off pay raises.

QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 10:42 PM) The question I have is how the hell did Mike Trout not win over Jones? Because the Gold Gloves are a joke, and they have been for quite some time. Fielding Bible are the only awards I respect, and in case you were wondering, Trout got the CF award on that one.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 10:45 PM) does anyone have any laptop recommendations my screen recently blew out and thus I'm looking for a new computer. I am Not really looking for an apple so mainly looking for pc ideas. not really sure what I need, mid range dells seem good enough, alienware seem overkill I love my Dell Studio 15, and if you know anyone with an .edu account that can use (or if you have one), then you can save an extra few hundred dollars. I got my $1300 laptop for $900 through Dell's student discount.

Lucas isn't completely left out though, he is serving as creative consultant, but yeah, he won't be making any decisions.

I would love to see Episodes VII, VIII, and IX, but like someone mentioned, I really would like a different storyline. I mean, they COULD get Mark Hammel back in there, as an old Jedi, with the assumption that he has trained Han Solo's kid, and they could obviously include Harrison Ford in it as well, but it would be quite a time jump. Either way, I'm excited to see where they go.

Tigers announced they won't bring back Valverde. DAMNIT. They also announced they won't bring back Delmon "Mr. Gordon" Young either, so that's good for us.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 08:01 PM) Weren't there numerous warnings to not take LSD because of the wind surge coming off the lake? You were obviously smart enough to avoid it because of the conditions. Those people had it coming to them. I think taking LSD is generally frowned upon, especially when operating a vehicle. Unless, of course, you are Doc Ellis.
