Story about Dunn and his child
I'm going to reiterate, epilepsy sucks. Like, destroys your life suck. I can't imagine how Dunn felt watching his young child go through what should be a happy part in his life where his biggest problem is a scraped knee. But he has to watch his son writhe in pain and is powerless to help him. His son probably can't do things that all kids enjoy. His kid might never be allowed to drive, he'll try to fit in but so much will be cut off to him. If it's not cured, he'll have to register with a disability office at schools, because it f***s up your ability to think. Every moment his kid is alive could be his last. He could be playing catch with his kid and watch his kid fall over lifelessly, even dead, as the ball soars over his head. And if he moves, he'll just be in uncontrollable pain. But you know what? f*** the guy for striking out. Clearly he should forget about the misery his son is going through because he's in a batters box.

Story about Dunn and his child
I'll just confirm epilepsy sucks. Basically you get treated like you're completely crippled, except, you're not. And I like Dunn more now.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 09:52 AM) Jordan Danks is currently hitting .381 with a .364 OBP. Can an OBP be lower than a BA? Sac flies.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 08:19 AM) As someone who was your age once and built a sweet dvd collection, all I can say is "don't bother" with the bluray "collection". There will be a time very soon where blurays are phased out and you'll be stuck with a bunch of crap you'd rather have not spent your money on - just watch the movie from redbox or streamed online for dirt cheap when in the need! I like physical media. Call me old-fashioned. Speaking of which...

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 11:48 PM) Come on son...in what world is CJ going to score 30-40 points? He's been an inefficient scorer for the Bulls, he might score that many if he played starter minutes and took 25 shots per game. Denver two years ago. JL3 missed 2 free throws, Melo hits game winning three.

The Avengers/Marvel Comics thread
QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 06:39 PM) I looked more into it and it sounds like Disney doesn't want to re-release the Avengers. Instead all of the extras including an alternate intro and an an alternate ending will be on the DVD/Blu Ray along with 30 or so extra minutes of the movie. And this makes me giddy.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) How so? Pleases me because MORE AVENGERS. Angers me because it means that the normal version will come out on Blu-Ray first, then the extended edition will be a while after that. So I'll have to wait longer to add Avengers to my Blu-Rays.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 04:49 PM) When you see a whacky outspoken guy get angry like Ozzie it's pretty funny. When you see a serious laid back guy like Robin get angry, it is a lot scarier. This is my reasoning. With Ozzie, you expect it. With Robin, you know s*** just got real.

I still contend Angry Robin is scarier than Angry Ozzie.

The Avengers/Marvel Comics thread
QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 03:51 PM) Thanos is awesome. The more he's around, the better in my opinion. There's rumors around about The Avengers possibly being re-released in theatres because director Joss Wheldon originally had roughly a 3 hour movie before they cut it down to 2 hours and 20 minutes. Supposively a lot of the cut film dealt with Captain America. It'd be cool to see it be released again with the extra footage. This both pleases and angers me.

2012-2013 NBA thread
I feel like Hinrich will look actually decent under Thibs. Also, if they pay Korver and match Asik... PG - Hinrich/Teague SG - Hamilton/Korver SF - Deng/Butler PF - Boozer/Gibson C - Noah/Asik ...they're going for it when Rose returns. They are really banking on Rose have an amazing recovery.
