QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 11:39 PM) lol. that would take some kind of miracle involving the use of chloroform in a sign-and-trade and I'm not even sure it can actually be done but I'd jizz myself. Not like Joakim Noah is chopped liver but the Bulls would be a juggernaut... fun to think about, anyway.I was more hoping we'd get rid of Boozer somehow, and since this is a ridiculous fantasy scenario with no chance of happening, that's absolutely what we would do.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 11:04 PM) Whatever with this discussion. What happens to Dwight Howard is the Magic happen to lose in the first round?He signs with the Bulls?

I miss this guy...

Inherited runners vs inherited runners allowed to score is already tracked, I believe.

Got Dragon Age 2 yesterday, and I ordered MLB '11 today. I skipped '10 because I couldn't hit a damn thing in '09. Hopefully I figure it out this year, although the demo wasn't very encouraging.

Why are there high school girls singing on this broadcast?

I like Viciedo.

3-0 Cleveland. 3 singles, double play (scores 1), 2 run homer by Weglarz(sp)?

So who's playing Black Ops on PS3? I could use more teammates. PSN: al_magest

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) I'm pretty convinced that Cowley just sits on his recliner drinking beer and tweeting things that sound plausible (or not). He's probably not in Orlando right now...in fact, he's probably never even seen the inside of the Sox clubhouse. For all I know, he's an A.I. (I use the "I" liberally) broadcasting over the Internet. Cowleytron. Would Cowley pass a Turing test?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) I don't think this by itself would refute those beliefs though? It could be easily explained away.Yeah, "creation science" is pretty good at making up things.

The Black Ops M16 is nowhere near as good as the MW/MW2 version. I still like it a lot, though. Also digging the M14 -- two shot kill out to a considerable distance. My favorite classes so far, though, are Skorpion extended mags/C275 full auto/Scavenger/Sleight of Hand/Marathon, and Galil Silenced/C275 full auto/Ghost/Hardened/Hacker. Also, give the decoy grenades a try, if you haven't already. I love tossing a decoy out, watching someone pop out for the "easy kill", only to get facially raped by me.

Black Ops should be waiting for me when I get home. Anyone wants to play on PS3, let me know. Gamertag = al_magest

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 10:48 PM) The bullpen has lost so many games for us that it's just sickening.Yeah. I was thinking the other day how many games the bullpen lost in the 7th 8th or 9th (I think Jenks is responsible for 4 or 5 himself). We could very well be in first if they didn't. This feels a lot like 2006.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) i wana try and tell my boss im too tired to go to work tomorrow and when he gives me that WTF face, ill just say hey, im just Manny being Manny.I'm sure that if you were in the top 10 in the world at what you do, you could get away with it.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) Apparently everyone was at that game because I was there as well. I said the same damn thing and a few seconds later I saw maybe the hardest hit ball I've ever witnessed in person.Me too. I think that was the least surprised I've ever been by someone hitting a homer. I would've been more surprised if he struck out or popped out or something.

I hope Manny comes here, gives the entire team steroids, and they all start ripping bombs off kids' heads on the Fundamentals deck.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) The Padres are contending and A-Gon is under control for another year. He's not coming. Votto would be a surprise, but aren't the Reds contending as well?In first by 0.5 games.

Here's a bright spot -- Teahen with .292 avg and .404 obp. It'd be nice to see this from him the next couple years.

This is painful. I can't believe he'd be pitching this badly unless he was hurt.

I read that as "humping strangers in the street" at first. Thought you might like to know.

Another hit that barely dents the grass.

Lots of luck on Cleveland's side. Hitting bad pitches softly where no one is playing. Of course, it doesn't help that we only have one hit, but Carmona has been pretty effective since the first.

Netbooks are very slow. Definitely keep this in mind. I have a 10.1" Eee PC, and even running Arch Linux with Fluxbox is pretty painful when I'm trying to do anything besides surf simple web pages.

I preordered FFXIII, and can't wait until I can play it tonight (as long as UPS can actually deliver a package correctly). It's supposed to be pretty similar to X, which is my favorite in the series (along with IV).
