QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) You must hate America. Checked out Source Code on Sunday. Another meh movie. Decent idea that took a dive off the cliff about half way through. Gyllenhall is becoming quite the actor, i'll grant him that. But the story was weak (the "bad" scientist was incredibly awful with whatever accent he was using) and really the whole "science" behind it didn't really fit together at all. The obvious problem being that if you're relying on the last 8 seconds of a persons memory, how are you able to see/experience things that the source did not? Probably a dumb quibble considering the whole thing is unbelievable to begin with, but still. Unless he's talking about the Steven Seagal version. Can't get much more Amurica than Seagal.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 09:28 AM) Sorry Chisoxsonic. Sorry, will now go back to Death Race, Tarantino, Machete, Sin City, The Watchmen, Tombstone and Easy Rider to make myself more macho again. Hey, when you're an English Lit major and you have to study all those authors, it's kind of interesting to see all those writers enacted/portrayed in a movie. The Hemingway character is hilarious...must have had a lot of fun with that role. And, FWIW, I liked Daniel Craig in Defiance a lot. He was very good. Golden Compass, that was a disaster for all involved, from Pullman on down. I just hope the next Bond movie (whenever it gets ironed out) is more like Casino Royale....the last one was super-disappointing. Definitely a good one. The obvious mention has to be Layer Cake (since it was this role that got him the Bond films), awesome film.

World Series or bust!

Actually, I immediately regretted my snap vote after I reread the question. 'Main reason'? Absolutely not. Slight contributing factor? Yes. That's what I get for not reading directions.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) I would also allow a Sandberg hiring, in hopes that it turns out like a Mike Scioscia-like situation. Where in the face of the franchise on the other side of town manages the rival town's team to success... While I may not agree with the sentiment, your signature is epic.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) For some reason that Darkest Hour movie is giving me a Langoliers vibe. Some unknown entity is destroying the world/mankind but we don't know what it is or how to defeat it. Having said that, nothing can be as bad as the Langoliers was so I'm still interested to see more about this.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) I am trying to figure out how the USS Defiant crashed in the Baltic. I was actually thinking of the book/movie Sphere when I first read this article.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 05:01 PM) That was spot on. I thought he should have been pulled in the middle of the inning for that play. No one knows what is going through a man's head and Guillen alludes that Rios is taking every at bat to the field with him, but whether it is because he doesn't care or cares WAY too much, the response should probably be the same, bench him. Pull him aside after the game in private and let him know how much you care about him but that his mind is not in the right place, it is hurting the team in many ways beyond just his poor performance, and he is going to get some time extended time off. Put in De Aza and see how good of a teammate Rios can be from the bench. Great post; well articulated.

Holy s***. You do not say that about another man's wife. Beyond words.

QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 11:24 AM) and the countdown to Ozzie's offensive reaction to that begins. Wow. I am so dense. I saw that tweet last night and we definitely taken aback but it didn't click that he was making a jab at the Guillen's. That makes COMPLETE sense now.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) It's awesome how on edge everyone is and how any random tweet can generate excitement. The trade deadline is the f***ing best, no matter what. This. I've been on edge for days, just glued to what everyone is saying. Love it. I was thinking about how this trade deadline is so much more exciting than last year (but it's also because we have so much uncertainty with the team's direction).

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) If Dayan is healthy I honestly dont think we lose much by plugging him in RF when Q gets dealt. Ahem... You've been on the button so far, anything else you'd like to share?

Someone beat me to it

Peace out, Teahen! Interestingly enough, that $7 million on his contract can't buy him a plane ticket? http://lockerz.com/s/124408577

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 01:11 PM) It's called At Bat '11 so i'm guessing I'll need a new one next year. But for someone like myself who always pays for MLB.tv, paying an additional $10 to be able to watch and listen to any game I want for an entire season on my cell phone is a no brainer. Plus it looks like you can get the radio feed even if you don't pay for the full MLB.tv regular package.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 01:03 PM) Just buy the app. It's $10. It's one million percent worth it. Welp, I went for it. Thanks for the help, guys.

Does anyone know of an app for the Droid that I can listen to the game? I have an mlb.tv account but I don't want to spend the additional $10 to be able to use that on my phone (I don't really need the video, just the radio feed as I want it for when I'm driving). Any input?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 11:15 AM) I'd support a bit of a youth movement. If done right, it could be great for the franchise. "The Kids Can Play... Again."

Ovah!

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 10:01 PM) Like Verlander is a tough righty and they want to keep Morel's attitude up? Its 50/50 Morel plays against Verlander, not sure that I agree with sitting him, but its not out of the realm of possibilities. I thought Morel was actually far better against righties this year?
