PK: "Sox can shock division"
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Well, they are pretty good at hitting straight ball. But curve ball, is no good. So Jobu take fear from bats. Jesus Christ, Paulie likes him very much, but he can no hit curveball.

2012 MLB Catch All thread
I know everyone hates when people talk about their fantasy teams, so this'll be worse but it's baffling. My friend asked me to advise him for his frats fantasy league, so I figured why not, not much time commitment. He asks today if he should trade Mike/Giancarlo Stanton for James Shields. I said no. Then Alex Gordon for James Shields was what the guy asked for next. I said "Ask for Gordon + one of your pitchers (Beachy, Hudson, Floyd, Zimmermann) for Kershaw" from the guy. The guy ended up trading him Kershaw for Alex Gordon, straight up. I don't understand.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) if i had to put my money on it, I would say Hockey - Basketball - NFL/MLB(cant decide which would go first) That's how I see it, with MLB going last. But please no. I like to keep the field (not OF wall, side walls, etc.) free of ads. That includes the uniforms.

Does the Hunger Games play to the 99% or Tea Party?
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 10:37 PM) That the text explicitly says she is dark-skinned provides humor to the disgusting racism of the comments. If the book was race-ambiguous, why is it such a terrible thing for her to be black? Yeah, Rue and Thresh we're specifically mentioned as dark skinned. And Cinna, well, I imagined him as white. But it's never said and who can complain about Lenny Kravitz? He was great.

BOLD Sox Predictions
1) Addison Reed wins ROY 2) Morel-Alexei-Beckham all win Gold Gloves as the Sox have the fewest errors in the league. 3) De Aza and Humber make the All-Star game. PK gets in on the fan vote. 4) Sale wins 15+, Viciedo hits 30 HR. 5) Following a championship, Rose plays some RF for Rios, who hits the DL. 6) Adam Dunn puts up non-2011 Adam Dunn numbers. 7) Sox win the division. Edit: If the above other than 5 happens, Robin gets Manager of the Year and we all sing Kenny's praises.

2011-2012 NBA Season Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 03:28 PM) I'm so f***ing sick of this season. I've never seen players get injured so often. The NBA should have gone for like 55 games instead of 66. The break-neck pace has made the on-court product suffer. Yes, the Bulls are winning. However, is Rose going to play at all the rest of the year? Dude had a bleeding groin for Christ's sake. Rip Hamilton is a china doll. I don't think a single player save, somehow, Carlos Boozer, has been able to stay fully healthy this year. It makes me want to break things so hard all over people's faces. Korver is the only player to play every game for Thibs.

Danks and Floyd still available?
Nick Carfado thinks everyone is available. Last year he kept saying how Buehrle would make a great long relief pitcher.

Does the Hunger Games play to the 99% or Tea Party?
QUOTE (mr_genius @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) i haven't read the book or seen the movie. but i'm sure the villains are inspired by Obama/Democrats And this was the most asinine comment in the thread, especially considering they're more inspired by Hitler and King Minos. Seriously, know what you're talking about before you're "sure" of something. Especially considering the book came out before Obama was elected, or else I'll go ahead and say 1984's villains are clearly based on Bush/Republicans.

Read the books last year, just saw the movie. My verdict: It plays to it's audience, young adults.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 12:51 PM) yes. Obama is not 'fighting for working class people' as he claims. Merely a marketing slogan.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 07:03 AM) Ha ha, maybe you're right Quinarvy. And possibly we think it's our job as teachers to assume everything has a deeper meaning or connection, because if there's not one, why do they need our interpretations? Couldn't they just hire robots as teachers instead, if anything has a literal meaning and nothing is deeper or metaphorical? For reference, I've always thought this, mainly as a writer. Sometimes, I just write stuff because it's what my emotions want or it gives me joy. And not everything needs a literal meaning. Lord of the Rings doesn't, Grapes of Wrath does.
