Indy has this game in the bag if they can take some time off on the inbound and make their FTs.

David West's 3 = lol

Evan Turner with two huge buckets.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 26, 2014 -> 11:09 AM) The injury is coming. At least that means Augustin will get more PT.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Mar 26, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) LOL Phillies at 180+M That's what happens when you commit a bunch of money to Ryan Howard.

Guerra closed for the Dodgers in 2011. He could be the closer if Jones doesn't do the job.

Guerra was pretty good in 2012. He'd be a nice add.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Mar 26, 2014 -> 12:38 AM) still a long way to go. i didn't forsee Brooklyn getting into the race either. The Bulls' schedule is pretty easy the rest of the way. Beating the Pacers was big. If they can beat Portland tonight, they have a shot at 50 wins.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 26, 2014 -> 10:03 AM) He's obviously getting older, but I think 2 years in we'll be solid. Last year vike's O was so bad he was on the field a lot, and I'm guessing saw more run plays. Despite all that he got 11.5 sacks last year. I hope we get double digit sacks from him but 8.5 to 9.5 plus lots of pressure is fine with me. He's probably going to play 70% of the snaps. The Bears aren't just going to let Willie Young sit for 90% of the time.

While I do think Allen's regressing, he's an upgrade over Peppers at half the price (if we would have kept Peppers). I'm assuming only the first two years of the contract are guaranteed ($15.5 million over 2)?

With Toronto's loss, the Bulls are now the third seed in the East.

Wow, great deal.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 24, 2014 -> 08:23 AM) Last solicitation I'll put on here - several posters in here could easily contribute to my young blog, Getting Things Tech. The "concept" so to speak is to "get" your tech in the sense that we help non-geeks understand their gadgets. On the flip side, there is also the aim to use tech as a productivity tool, to get things done. This can take a lot of different forms and so far I've been contributing a few different things: some tutorials on things broadly and narrowly useful, app/software recommendations, distilling tech news into something that might seem more relevant to regular people, and buying guides to help people make decisions on their tech purchases. I have an interest in making a lot of privacy content, but you need not. Blog is new and there is no commitment. Built on Wordpress, if you're familiar with that. I am in the process of monetizing, but there is no certainty I ever get my investment back, let alone be able to compensate writers, so view this as a hobbyist venture -- however, if we do generate revenue, I would eagerly spread it to the writing talent. Eh, I would, but I just don't think I have the time.

QUOTE (staxx @ Mar 24, 2014 -> 02:04 AM) What time saturday? Around 7-8 PM probably.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 23, 2014 -> 09:55 AM) Westbrook is fine. He sat out for a while after he came back the first time. He might be fine now, but this injury definitely isn't something you want to rush.

I need one more guy for my sabermetric fantasy baseball league. Scoring and Settings here: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/13851/settings Draft is currently slotted for next Saturday, but may be moved to Wednesday night. It's still up in the air right now. You would be drafting third and you'd have a set of players to choose from for your keepers. PM me your email if you're interested.

Bulls expect Rose to be back for the playoffs Not this s*** again. I don't even want him back. He's not going to be good and look what's happened to Westbrook this year after a similar injury.

Wow, two terrible shots by Ennis to end the game. 1) Why would you settle for a mid-range jumper when you weren't really even open? 2) Why go for a long 3 when you had more than enough time to drive in a 2 point game?

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 19, 2014 -> 01:37 PM) The fact that my Garmin Forerunner can go 3 weeks gives me some hope. Granted, it isn't doing a whole lot when it is in standby, but maybe - the watch I have has got to be almost 10 years old by now, after all. The Moto 360 is rumored to use an OLED display, so Motorola can use its active notifications. That should help battery life. It's also rumored to have wireless charging, which I think makes a ton of sense for watches.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 18, 2014 -> 09:28 AM) Stephen A. Smith said Melo is out, Woj said Bulls more in play than Lakers. MAKE IT HAPPEN GARPAX. I seriously doubt that now that Jackson is there.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 18, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) With phones getting progressively larger, this could solve one of the key problems - who wants to be picking up and fiddling with a 6" phone all the time? Now you don't have to. You can check notifications, scores, weather, maps, etc. on your wrist. I think it might catch on. If Pebble had been just a little more capable, I'd have one right now. Exactly. The same applied to the Gear. It was definitely a smart watch, but its exclusivity to Samsung-only phones and its lack of third party apps made it less appealing. Not to mention I wouldn't pay $300 for one. Google's Now interface transfers well to watches. The interface is similar to what's on Google Glass. Personally, I think a well-done Smart watch at the right price may sway me to buy one instead of Google Glass and I thought I was hell bent on buying Glass no matter what.

Eww

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 12, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) So, my wife and I have joked around about what warm place we might move to later in life when the kids are out of the house. I like the southwest and mountain west - sunny and usually dry. She likes the southeast with all its humidity. The place in between is.... Texas. I've spent time in El Paso, San Antonio and Dallas, and driven through parts of North Texas. None of those much appealed, though San Antonio was fun. I stumbled across (online) this area of south-central Texas called the Hill Country. It sits basically between Austin (which I've heard is a great town) and San Antonio (which we liked visiting). It is mostly smaller towns, rolling hills, warm but only sometimes brutally hot in summer, pleasant in winter, wonderful in spring and fall, moderate humidity. Low cost of living, good outdoor opportunities, not far from a couple cities... sounds pretty idyllic to me. But to be brutally honest, as my wife and I are native Midwesterners and liberal-leaning SOCIALLY (not talking politics here)... I have concerns about being in a place that's maybe too closed-minded and lacking in the types of people we usually hang out with. Perhaps that is just my unfair perception of Texas. Anyone been in the area? Any thoughts on it? Is my perception unfair or incorrect? I live in the North Austin 'burbs and usually hang around North Austin. I'll go down to South Austin to play softball. People here are nice and I think I've met more vegans here than when I was in Chicago/Champaign. I can't speak for what goes on in the Hill Country since the only time I've really been there was when I drove down to San Antonio. Maybe a good place for you to look at is San Marcos. It's a smaller town (I think Texas State University is there) so it's quieter than Austin or SA, but you also won't feel like you're out in the middle of nowhere.
