Anyone here have Mass Effect 3 on PS3 and want to play online? I hate multiplayer with people I don't know. PSN: Quinarvy_Ethil

Does the Hunger Games play to the 99% or Tea Party?
My opinion on this is that sometimes writers write something just to tell a compelling story. Unlike what English teachers like to believe, not every literary piece has a deep philosophical, political meaning.

Santiago to be the closer? Hmmmm....
We have the best closer prospect in baseball. Let's make our long relief/spot starter the closer.

Does the Hunger Games play to the 99% or Tea Party?
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 05:36 PM) With the constant allusions to the decadence of the Capitol, it's hard not to see them as rich Republicans, lol. On the other hand, Katniss' personal design crew are very artistic/avant garde/Hollywood-influenced, so the Santorum folks would argue they represent the decaying moral/cultural values of Washington and the popular culture at-large. Not once while I was reading the book last year did I think "You know, this book is full of political allegory!"

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 05:42 PM) How is Hunger Games the same as a documentary on the Bush administration? Actually, don't answer that. Don't need to go further with this. QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 05:46 PM) Some people see meaning in everything. A book/movie is sometimes just a book/movie, not political symbolism. THANK YOU.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 05:01 PM) the politics of the hunger games world is like the central plot point, though Yes, but not everything is about Republicans and Democrats, 99% and Tea Party.

Or instead, young adults. Not everything is politics.

Jenks arrested on DUI charges
Damn Bobby, I hope he can recover from that quickly. But he NEEDS to lose weight. I'm not even close to Bobby's size and I have back pain. I can't imagine the pain he's in.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 23, 2012 -> 09:15 AM) UNSUSTAINABLE. You're right. My rookie year I had hit .380 (from late July onward, was a call-up) with 7 HR. I got benched for hitting a walk off HR and not taking a pitch. LaRussa made me play 3B, where I sucked defensively and my goals were .997 fielding percentage AND take walks.

Adam Dunn Batting Average Over/Under
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) The team's fortunes will likely rest on the four horsemen of underachievement from 2011: Dunn, Rios, Beckham and Peavy. IF all of them, or even three of them, get to where their talent/averages have been, this team will be well above .500. If, say, one or none of them recover in a meaningful way, I could see this team having a 2007-like record. War = Peavy Famine = Dunn Death = Rios Conquest = Beckham

In my RTTS two years ago, I hit .375 in the majors, with 2 walks, on a full year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 23, 2012 -> 01:45 AM) I mean, f***, good poster, but we don't need to honor him. Jesus. I thought the same for half a second. Then I felt stupid. Then not old.

Stewart needs to be starting in AAA. He, Molina, or Castro will all be interesting to watch. Santiago and Axelrod should be the long men.- 2012-2013 NFL Thread
LOL @ TEBOW NOT EVEN FLORIDA- Time to change Viciedo's position again
QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) If we didn't have the bum, Dunn, we could DH Viciedo the next 15 years (if his age is not a lie) and be done with it. For the love of God you don't DH a 23 year old.- 2011-2012 NBA Season Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 03:28 PM) Scalabrine really is one of the better minds on an NBA bench, and he's a good "clubhouse" guy. Noc would have no place here AND he'd provide no bench value. Sorry, if we're depending on Noc vs Wade and LeBron, season's over anyway. If the team liked their chemistry so much they refused to shake things up to go after a starting level SG, they sure aren't going to in order to bring in Andres Nocioni. I'm not saying dump Scal, just make him the 13thback man over James or Scal, because he can at least be an enforcer.- 2011-2012 NBA Season Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) That would so absolutely never happen. Until they finally force Scal into a bench coach position, he's here as last man off the bench while Thibs is here. Or until we need someone to give a foul/piss Wade off. Who can do it better? Also NOC-I-ONI > SCAL-A-BRINE- 2011-2012 NBA Season Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 02:13 PM) I always liked Noc. Have the 76ers waived him? What kind of shape is he in? Is he still a solid defender and average to a little above average 3 point shooter? Buried in Philly. Got waived. His Per36 numbers are basically the same, a little worse, but fine for what he'd provide. - Enforcer - Pisses Wade and LBJ off - Stretch four if we go small - Energy/heart - Deng's BFF I'd MUCH rather him than Scal at the end of the bench.- Miguel Cabrera takes grounder in eye
I feel bad for him, but man, since it's not serious it's hilarious considering it shows how bad their D will be.- 2011-2012 NBA Season Thread
I want Noc back in a Bulls uniform solely for the purpose of pissing LBJ and Wade off.- 2012-2013 NFL Thread
