I still feel sick from this.

Peavy and Sale will own this series.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 04:06 AM) Jesus, just overheard on the radio in work here that there were ten killed and 30-40 wounded in a shooting at a screening of this in Denver. Terrible stuff. Prayers for all those affected. Apparently the guy tried to dress like Bane. Sick f***er.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) There is a high probability that GotG is a flop, at least by Marvel standards. At best it will probably be A cult favorite. It is a very strange property, it doesn't relate to earth at all, the characters are very strange and will be hard to adapt to the semi-realism that Marvel is trying to put into the series. Hopefully it is a fun action movie, but it will be difficult. I agree with the sentiments that it'll be hard to pull off, but if the following happens I can see it succeeding. 1) Thor: DW and Captain America: WS lead into it somewhat. Maybe Captain America through a post credits. 2) Go with some well known actors for the leads. Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans are fantastic actors, but a bigger name is need for GotG. 3) Iron Man 3, Captain America: WS, and Thor: DW all need to have great receptions, so Marvel can ride the wave of popularity.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 06:01 PM) Women enjoy Chris Hemsworth and Idris Elba more than a talking raccoon and tree. True But this will all be moot if John DiMaggio voices Rocket Raccoon. And they can get eye-candy for Star-Lord/Peter Quill and Gamora. The person I've seen most sites think should be Gamora is Olivia Wilde.

QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) The problem with it is the casual fan isn't going to go see this more than likely.. the casual fan knows Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Etc. they will see this and go WTF? Most likely the same with stuff like Antman and the Black Panther films, I get that the popularity of superhero movies is booming but these aren't going to appeal to the casual fan. Casual fans did not know Thor.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 09:48 AM) Dude you follow wrestling. You lose the right to talk about s*** things that people under 11 love.

Also, for the whole MJ holding up 8 fingers, if not for Jerry Krause going insane and MJ's first retirement, my guess it the Bulls have 9. Bulls beat '94 Rockets. Bulls lose to '95 Rockets. Bulls beat '99 Spurs Bulls barely beat '00 Lakers, because those Lakers wouldn't have had Harper or Jackson. Mainly Jackson.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 04:24 PM) nah, we really didn't. Unless you want to send them Jimmy Butler? Two completely different types of players. We really did have the $5 TPE. If the offseason had been this: Hinrich/Teague replaces Watson/JLIII. Upgrade. Lee replaces Korver. Upgrade. Butler replaces Brewer. Wash (Jimmy isn't worthless on O). Taj remains Taj. Darko replaces Asik. Downgrade. I would have been happy.

I'm pretty sure SS2k5 is a troll. He posts on another board under a completely different alias, so we won't catch on to him.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 12:25 PM) This is what i don't get. Who are these 2 or 3 people you're talking about? What exactly is a troll? mcgrad flat out admitted that he was a troll. and thankfully he's gone. Is having a different opinion than the majority considered a troll? I'm not a troll. I've made some predictions that turned out to be wrong and i admitted that. I've said other teams are better than the bulls/sox. That's not being a troll. greg, as annoying as he is, is not a troll. He loves ozzie. That doesn't make him a troll. annoying? yes. But not a troll. I'm starting to think that unless i kiss chicago teams ass that i'm going to get suspended. You're not a troll. Outspoken, yes. Troll, no. Just my opinion.

But seriously, good post

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 12:19 PM) Krush/J4L. If you want to discuss your personal stuff, do it over PM's. This isn't the place for it. As a whole though, the purpose of this thread is to offer a reminder that while we as mods/admins aren't quick with our ax, the site still has rules that you agree to when you sign-up. And those rules, to be frank, are very basic in nature and in essence go back to the golden rule. Treat others with respect. If you do that, then you will be fine. There is nothing wrong with a healthy debate and sometimes things will be said, but its how you handle the debates that matter. If after a debate, you can look at that poster and realize that there is nothing personal involved, it is just two very passionate sports fans debating a topic, well then you've handled yourself appropriately. If you remember that, and most of the people here behave that way 95% of the time, then there is nothing wrong. The key is to remember the 5% of the time you don't, and move away from that. We aren't talking about banning the whole site, we are asking that you treat people with respect. Be cognizant of what you post and one well written post > 15 one liner posts. That isn't to say there isn't value to a one line post. Sometimes there is a purpose to it, but if it is just to say, you suck or idiot, well, don't make the post. For the post to be "stupid" it doesn't need your response, people will read it and figure it out and the lack of responses will push it down to the end of the board to never be seen/heard from again. One thing that I do have a problem with is if a person has an agenda or if they are a troll and it is important to realize you can be a White Sox fan and still be considered a troll. If your soul purpose of posting is to make a rise out of people, that is being a troll. 99% of you don't do that, but there are some on this board, who have gotten away with being a troll for far too long and I'll be frank, either cut it out or you'll be finding another place to post. And for those of you that fit in that category, you will be warned (and you will receive a notice from the mods/admins). No one in this category (like 2 or 3 posters) can say that they won't get an opportunity to prove themselves. Can someone stop hacking Jason?

Do they also boycott shaved people?

Do they also boycott shaved people?

Sale, Cain, Weaver McCutcheon, Hamilton, Kemp

Yeah, I don't eat there.

I'm just gonna go the way of Qwerty

One thing that will help GotG is that supposedly Thor will be in it.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 09:39 PM) f*** the Marlins. They were never significant to begin with. Question is are the Nationals that good? How would they far against top AL teams. How did they get this good? By not having Ozzie But seriously, they got this good because of sucking and getting Strasburg and Harper. Then pulling off a great trade for Gio. Fleecing the Twins for Ramos (though he hasn't been playing this year, still a good deal). Having Zimmerman and Zimmermann. Drafting Storen. Signing E-Jax. Now obviously they lucked into two of the most talented draft picks of all time, but some good moves by that f***er Rizzo.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) There's just something about the potential of a broomstick getting shoved up my ass that takes the fun out of it. Even if it's by accident. I'm gonna have to agree that while frightening, that has never happened.

QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) Yep, nerds sound about right. Yeah, but its that the fact that they're athletic nerds who played all types of sports in high school gets overlooked. I've had somewhere around 20 people come to one practice and leave because they think it'll be whimsical and a Harry Potter fan club. Then they realize we really don't talk about Harry Potter, get tackled, and it takes athletic ability.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) How can you not love this guy? You tell me one other sports manager/coach who talks as candidly as this guy? I'd love to hear his take on Rios' improvement. It would be a doozy I'm sure. I'll respond in a manner you'll understand. BECAUSE HE'S NOT f***ING LOVABLE WHEN NOT WINNING AND TALKING s***. TALK s*** WHEN YOU'RE WINNING. NO, 2005 DOES NOT COUNT AS WINNING IN TWO THOUSAND GODDAMN TWELVE THEY DON'T TALK AS CANDIDLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE CLASS. ALSO, OTHER PEOPLE KNOW WHEN TO SHUT THE f*** UP. OZZIE DOESN'T. HE WON'T CAUSE RIOS IS HIS FRIEND APPARENTLY. REMEMBER BOBBY? HE s*** ALL OVER BOBBY WHEN HE LEFT. BOBBY SAID NOTHING. OZZIE IS A PIECE OF s*** MANAGER WHEN HE'S NOT INTO IT. HE'S NOT INTO IT. HE'S GETTING DRUNK AND PLAYING DOMINOES. HE HASN'T HAD A NOTEWORTHY SEASON SINCE TWO THOUSAND f***ING FIVE. THAT WAS SEVEN GODDAMN YEARS AGO. DESPITE HAVING LOADED TEAMS IN 2006 AND 2011 HE UNPERFORMED. MASSIVELY. THE 2010 TEAM WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD IF NOT FOR THE STUPID ROTATING DH s***. 2008 COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD IF HE DIDN'T HATE SOME PLAYERS. HE FAILED. HE DIDN'T PERFORM. NEITHER DID THE PLAYERS. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THEY HAVE MR. CANDID LOUDMOUTH JACKASS ON THEM ALL DAY. IF I TYPED LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME, COULD YOU TAKE IT? There, I combined your unique haiku-posting style with Ozzie's yelling and swearing.

I just want to point out you can't bleed White Sox red. White Sox black or white? Different story.
