QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 06:12 PM) Woody would be the one actually making the final call on those gifts but they're paid for by the sponsors. Well then they did a terrible job portraying that in the film then, because it seems like a rather large plot hole.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 02:18 PM) What about the medicine that flew in for Peeta? A parachute dropped in when Katniss was in a tree. I remember a few scenes where Woody Harrelson was chatting with the rich Capitol folk in an effort to gain sponsors. I was under the impression that those were from Woody Harrelson and not any random sponsors. They played up the fact that they need to be fan favorites and be loved, and then it appeared that never played any role in the end.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 01:24 PM) I liked the part where the GameKeeper put much-needed supplies in the Cornucopia to lure people in, but the rest of his interactions were stupid. How would you like to bet $1000 on some Tribute who then gets killed because the GameKeeper spawned 4 gorilla-dogs top of him? The games were neither sporting, fair, nor entertaining. What I kept waiting to happen was see where the "sponsors" came in. They made such a big deal about needing to be sponsored, but when did that even come in to play? I never saw anyone get a care package from a sponsor. They did do the part where a "much needed item" was placed on that table, but they didn't say it had anything to do with sponsors, it seemed it was a risk/reward type thing that everyone had a chance to do.

Saw the Hunger Games today. Really liked it. I'm very interested in what is going on in their future world, and want to learn more about that part of the story. Only things I didn't like was the obvious love story and how those "dog" type beasts that were created chased them for a good quarter mile, but never caught them. What the hell, how could they possible outrun 4 of those things for more than 5 seconds?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 01:41 PM) Unless they were all strikes, no. A ball is unacceptable. He threw 10 balls.

Arroyo is my sleep pick. I think he could make it to Charlotte.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 11:50 AM) I would expect that to have happened often in high school baseball, especially when you have areas with large disparities in skill levels between schools. Well, my google search yielded only 1 other HS pitcher to accomplish it. Quite a few all-strikeout no-hitters though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 08:31 AM) You are an Indian too? Well I was, yeah.

So my HS buddy from back home threw back-to-back no-hitters last year. Well since then, not only was he named the best pitcher in Indiana, but yesterday he threw a TRULY perfect game. Perfect game with ALL STRIKEOUTS. The only other person I have heard about doing that? Clayton Kershaw. Just sayin'.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 10:41 PM) Who is this Wilkins guy? Anyone familiar with him in the minors? Don't know much about him but he has a nice looking swing. He is my AAP. Has a beautiful swing/follow through, and big power. He also walks a lot, and doesn't K much. I like him a lot, but he is still in the lower levels, so no idea if he will hit everywhere yet.

So how many pts did the winner get? I wonder if I would have won this league, for the 2nd consecutive year.

Yay! We are not last in something!

Well that was precious!

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 10:59 AM) My wife missed a chance to finish in the top 1% on espn.com when Kansas beat Ohio State. She had Kentucky over OSU in the final. She watched a total of about 2 hours worth of basketball this season before filling out her bracket. I win my league almost every year, and I don't watch a single point in basketball outside of March Madness. I always go in blind and uninformed, and do really well for some reason. I ended up in like the 86th percentile this year I think.

My little cousin Matthew's bracket was better than yours. #351 in the WORLD. Over 6.5 million entries, and he finished in the top 0.000054%. Incredible.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) I was real happy that Rossums tits showed up again, I also like the body on the goth chick lip is banging Yeah, Mandy is quite the disgusting butter face. I'll do a google search of the actress. I hope they just make her look scummy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 12:50 PM) MVPs of season 2 were Lip and Jody I'm glad they stopped showing Jody's horsecock every chance they could. Also, I want Karen dead. DEAD.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 01:46 AM) Red-band trailer for "Ted" starring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, written and directed by Seth McFarlane. Looks funny, but I can't help but think of Peter/Brian when I hear him talk.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 11:06 PM) Well, at least we got 1 point. But the shootout is still stupid. Good news is that Keith comes back next game and Toews has been cleared for contact and should be back soon. No, no, no. That point tonight was bad news. The Hawks need to LOSE OUT the rest of the season. If they make it to the 5th seed, then they play the Red Wings in RD 1. If they stay in the 6th spot, they play LA. Hawks better not lose this seeding.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 30, 2012 -> 11:27 AM) Google created self driving car with legally blind driver. But does it detect pedestrians walking? If I was blind, I would be terribly scared to use this technology.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 04:06 PM) What, it's his last start before the actual season and he threw 105 last outing. Backing off to 70 is not out of the ordinary here, but if no one said that then everyone would assume he was hurt if he was pulled after 3. I just thought it was funny you are assuming it will take him 70 pitches to get through 3 innings.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 03:51 PM) Peavy is scheduled to go 3 innings/70 pitches.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 02:32 AM) Has anyone seen "Case de mi Padre," the current Ferrell movie where he's speaking in Spanglish for most of it? As far as the best movies for 2012 so far (there's no way I will agree with THE HUNGER GAMES for that category): The Lorax 21 Jump Street The Chronicle The Grey Red Tails Friends with Kids The Secret World of Arietty Well, that could be right. Unless you included some of the movies that officially came out in December, 2011 and stretched into the New Year, the list is pretty bleak. There haven't even been that many movies that were even 100% "entertaining": Safe House, Journey 2, Act of Valor, Contraband and Project X had their moments, but none of them were worth the price of admission. I don't know if you have to include TITANIC 3-D on the list, technically it's NOT a new movie. American Reunion will vault to the top of your list, believe me.
