QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 08:14 PM) Wolf's not giving Peavy any calls. Yeah, but Peavy isn't hitting his marks at all. He threw a couple "whoops" strikes that weren't called.

Jake can't find the zone, and he's only throwing 89-90 mph on his heater........uh oh.

Erik Johnson with a real nice start so far.

Is it just my TV, or does it sound like Hawk and Stoney are talking through a tube?

QUOTE (balfanman @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 01:25 PM) That's one more offensive tool than Mr. Beckham is consistantly showing so far. Last night not withstanding. No, Beckham has plus defense and a plus arm. Thats 2 tools right there.

The only problem I have with Sanchez is.....what's his other tool? Looking at his numbers, he just seems like a 1 tool player, at least offensively. He's got no power, looks like average speed (at least average basestealing ability). So unless he is a plus defender with a good arm, I'm not going to get excited about him.

This talk about "the newsroom" almost makes me want to try it. Isn't it about politics though?

So my brother's girlfriend, in what I am guessing is more of an effort to get me to like her, GAVE me her GPS for free. I offered to buy it off her, but she said she lost the cord for it anyway, and she just uses her phone's GPS. I'm sure she doesn't realize that the cord type is pretty common, I have like 4 of 5 of them. But either way, I just scored a free Garmin 205w. It looks to be a few years old, but it will do just fine. Not sure yet if it has text-to-speech, which would be awesome, but I'll take a free, working device either way. EDIT: No TTS. I have found some hacks online, but one wrong move and it will be bricked. Not worth the risk.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 10:41 PM) Solid. Velocity was back to 94 quite consistently. It was? f*** yeah. Guess I was too quick on the trigger to trade him in fantasy.

Saw the movie this afternoon. Thought it was really solid, but I liked TDK better. I'm not a comic book person by any means, but why didn't those people that were stuck in that hole just.....build a bridge across that gap? Or were there gaurds down there making sure the only way you are allowed to escape is by climbing the hole honestly? Just seemed odd. I think Batman should have died. I don't understand how he could have possibly survived. Bane's voice was ridiculous. He sounded like a 70 year old English man. Not a scary voice at all. I was waiting them to reveal he had some sort of voicebox on his face, which he why he wore that mask. And why did he wear the mask? Because he was ugly or something? How did disconnecting those valves almost kill him? I didn't understand. How Bane died was lame too. All it took was getting shot? In that giant fight, why didn't the cops just shoot him? They fist-fought him, but not shoot him? At least 1 of those cops had a gun. Really the only part that god me really excited was when JGL said his real name was Robin, and then he entered the cave. As a kid, I was never in to superheros, but I always liked Robin. He was my favorite of any superheros, the only one I really rooted for. So I'll be pumped if they make a Robin series. JGL is one of my fav actors. I didn't know he was even in this movie, let alone a main character, and potential future superhero. I'm really excited to find out what they do with that.

Very nice start for Axelrod. 3/4 for Sanchez.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 01:44 PM) If Sale's Fastball is popping 94-95 I'll feel real good about today. If its 90-92, watch out. Even if he is sitting at 90-92, I wouldn't be that concerned. It's the 86-89 he was throwing all last start that made me want to cry.

Yup. Sounds like a plan to me!

TOUCHDOWN!!!

It's a Reeeeeeeal shame that anyone noticed Skylar in the pool. Reeeeeeeal shame. I'm ready for that b**** to die.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 10:32 PM) Looks like we're going to win or lose this thing doing so with our best starters. We'll see how Sale looks tomorrow. I thought Sale was going Tuesday. Damnit. I wanted to see him pitch.

Why? I like giving Sale and Peavy a break in between starts.

Leyer has been a pretty impressive 19-year-old so far. Nice to see him doing well in Low-A too.

Sammy Ayala has been downright awful so far. He's very young, so there is no real concern, but damn, he's far behind our newly drafted players so far.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) Mike Trout looks like a damn football player. Neck of a linebacker, speed of a wide receiver.

"LET'S HIT THIS PIECE OF s***!!!"

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) My guess was 7:40pm I'm just guessing too. Either way, we're getting White Sox baseball tonight.

It looks like we should get about a 7pm start time.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 02:35 PM) This was a great capture here, the timing was pretty much perfect, the only thing that held you back was your equipment. With a better camera, you could probably be doing some really amazing action shots. That's not to say these aren't...but from the looks of it, you've outgrown the stuff you use. Thanks. Yeah, like I said, my timing is pretty damn good in most sports pics I take, it's just my camera isn't good enough to capture them cleanly. I've taken many well-timed pictures that are blurry, so I have to delete them.
