My god, why can't we pitch to Francouer effectively?

They've made Shields work so far.

I guess the good thing with Gordon's new stance is that he won't offer at so many high pitches anymore.

Not sure if that was a strike...

lol Hawk must have the wrong splits

The new commercials are awful...

Perez loves kicking our ass.

Damn, Moose had no chance against those sliders.

Dunn got a fastball and got under it.

Dunn will probably have the most HRs on opening day in MLB history before it's all said and done.

First hit is by Rios.

Is it just me or does Adam Dunn a bit out of shape compared to last year?

Good start.

Let's go!

I'm in 5th somehow and I only have one of my final 4 teams left.

Will this finally be the year where we learn how to pitch to Royals hitters?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 31, 2013 -> 09:51 PM) Severely disappointed in the walking dead tonight. That was a whole lot of build up for absolutely nothing. Biggest cop out by the writers. They might drag the Governor stuff into next season somehow. Whatever they're doing, they're deviating from the graphic novel.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 30, 2013 -> 01:00 PM) But nobody got hurt, except for the guy who wound up with a couple black eyes and probably a mean little headache. And notice how the guy who started the fight didn't initially come at them with the gun, his wife actually pulled hers out first when he was getting knocked around. Part of responsible gun ownership is not behaving like that when you have your weapon on you (you really shouldn't behave like that at all, but skip that point), I agree. But fights like this happen all the time and sometimes people really do get hurt, in the right spot a punch can be lethal, however once a gun was brought into the picture nobody wanted to fight anymore. The guy and his wife took off, the kids freaked out and backed off and the whole thing went from escalating like crazy to suddenly diffused. Emotions were definitely running high, the guy was so amped he (probably) accidentally discharged a round into the pavement. But he didn't shoot anyone. His wife didn't shoot anyone... even this example of a wildly irresponsible gun owner who lacks both trigger discipline and judgment didn't end up the way liberals envision every confrontation culminates to. What you should take away from this is that if that bozo didn't light anyone up then over-f***ing-whelming majority of responsible gun owners sure as hell wouldn't either. Except in the case of Treyvon Martin, someone did die...

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 30, 2013 -> 11:34 PM) So, because Felix posting by himself was depressing, looks like the Sky will likely get Skylar Diggins or Elena Delle Donne. They are both good enough and pretty enough to possibly be marketable in Chicago. Just an interesting thought. Why is this in the NBA thread? There's a WNBA thread isn't there?

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Mar 30, 2013 -> 09:10 PM) NBA upgrades Taj Gibson's foul on Lebron to flagrant They clearly don't know what a flagrant foul is then. Taj had no intentions of hurting LeBron, unlike that shoulder LeBron tried on Boozer.

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 30, 2013 -> 10:04 AM) I am approaching that moment in grad school where I have a choice to go thesis or no thesis route in my studies. I have been talking with the professor who would chair my committee, I have been in several of his classes and he believes I will have no problem with the actual writing of the thesis, but the research may be a struggle while also working days as a teacher. Much of the material I will need is housed at the UT library in Austin about 6 hours away from me. I may also need some papers that are in Lawrence Kansas. My PhD plans are still up in the air, who wants to hire a recently graduated 60+ year old PhD? But intellectually the challenge would be exactly what I need as I end my working career. Maybe Greg can help you with that.
