Anyone else think Mike Quade looks like a burn victim?

Does anyone know how Santos has done in previous 4-out save opps?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:48 PM) At least we got the run in. Exactly. I will ride this high just long enough to forget about the AB that followed.

USEFUL SHOT, LAD

First pitch pop-up? Come on, guys...

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) Definitely, buy that Greco (not sure on hte name) brand where you get like 24oz for $4 ($3 on sale), that stuff is great. Next time you make burgers, cover both sides of them with this stuff before grilling, then add some grilled onions, slicing blue cheese, and other toppings you prefer. That stuff makes some of the tastiest, juiciest burgers. Christ on a cracker, I am starving now. That sounds amazing. Now I need to go pickup one of those bleu cheese-infused fresh patties from a deli and fire up the grill tonight.

Some of the names that haven't been mentioned that I really enjoy: Evan Longoria Dustin Pedroia Yadier Molina And Hunter Pence is at the bottom of the list of players I want to watch- for some reason he just bores me.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 09:10 AM) It's also how well he's actually throwing when he's in there. He's not walking anyone. That curveball can still wipe people out. He gets hit some if he doesn't have it, but since he's not walking anyone and pitchign ahead of people, he's able to get around that sometimes. I listened to the Diamondbacks' broadcast for a couple innings and their announcers said that Humber had one of the the best curveballs in the AL for sure. Nice to hear something like that from someone other than Hawk (even if it was from an NL team).

followed by just now

Well, it looks like it COULD be pretty decent. Yeah I'm definitely intrigued by this one. Very interested to see how the casting works out.

Two days without White Sox baseball. Grrrr.

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) Has anyone been following the prequel to Alien, the movie called "Prometheus"? http://www.celebrityviplounge.com/charlize...-alien-prequel/ Um, now I'm excited. I hadn't heard about this before but this definitely sounds like something I can get behind. Having said that, I am a bit hesitant because that was such a good series in its original form, kind of lost its track with the AVP stuff (AVP:R was an abortion for a film). I hope they get back to the original intent of the story without getting ridiculous like they have in the recent iterations.

He sure is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OjF_At3BKQ

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 08:52 AM) I'm pretty sure Paulie wears batting gloves. Nah, then Hawk would have tried to take credit for building the house.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 09:31 AM) No, I dont think there will be too much behind the great reveal besides the actual look of the escaped creature. I dont see it as a M Knight type twist that will leave you groaning in your seat. I have read rumors that this is the escape of the Cloverfield monster, which i think would be pretty cool. Im excited to see it, Abrams and Spielberg together sounds like a damn good pairing to me OK, I would totally be down with that. I absolutely loved Cloverfield, even though I know it was a very polarizing flick in terms of love it / hate it. I may still hold off to hear what other people say about Super 8 before I run out to be first in line.

Hopefully Juan Pierre will be magically abducted by aliens and two birds can be killed with the same entertainment dollar. I was having a conversation with Karko's Throatskin about this film a few days ago. He, like many of the critics/reviewers, is very excited to see this film. For some reason, I don't want to buy into the hype. I get this impression that it's going to be one of those movies with an awesome premise and then a total let down when you realize/see the 'cause' of everything. Examples I gave were The Happening and The Langoliers (bad TV miniseries in the mid-'90s based on a Stephen King novel). I imagine this film won't be in the category of awesomely bad like those two but in the same vein of disappointment. Anyone else get this feeling that the 'great reveal' is going to be a let down?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 09:06 AM) Good to know I wasn't the only person who threw up in their mouth hearing him praise pitchers drafted in the middle rounds because that means they had to fight to get there. He's still using that line? I remember hearing that same thing last year. I believe Stone basically did his polite "wtf?" argument but Hawk was having none of it.

Missed the game, watching the highlights on BBTN right now- holy awesome catch, Brent Lillibridge!

I know JR is all about loyalty and young talent in the front office but does it really make sense that Robin would be given the job without even a couple years managing at another level?

Woot woot. Awesome win by the Illini!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 01:11 PM) He supposedly over-did it with the walking away from baseball routine this winter. I'd imagine this is the last time he does that one. Wasn't there some article during spring that said he had tried swinging a lot and swinging a little in the off season, and it never really made a difference? So this year he went with the "never pick up a bat" approach?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 07:32 AM) Freaking hilarious. Thank god no one else is in the office yet because I lost my s*** over that one.
