Connecting the dots the way they did at the end was bizarre especially the Unser actions, that was kind of stupid. Also not certain what Juices' motives were there or how Jax would allow him to have such a role. The Oakland/Stockton stuff looks like it will be good. The show really has not recovered from Opie's death, that was a bad move that proved nothing in the grand scheme of things except to eliminate one of the best characters on the show. The show has really become the life of Jax and is more of a soap opera. Losing all of the interesting characters (the finale, Clay, Opie) and then not replacing them with anything worth watching has really hurt the show. What are you specifically talking about?

Yeah I know it's people's right to do what they want. I'm really starting to lose interest in her. I know, I know I'm shallow but we like what we like.

Yeah I'm really trying not to be a dick. I'm trying to lead by example, hit the gym, eat right, etc... My friggin' gf will not go the f***ing gym. Arggggghhh! I need to push the envelope but this is a delicate topic. Any suggestions?

An extremely sad SoA finale. Was that season or series?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 11:44 AM) .400 OBP is not a realistic goal for him. In the minors there is enough bad pitching that you can get a big OBP just by being patient and not swinging at bad pitches, but in the majors you have to have some serious power to get walked enough to have a .400 OBP. I looked it up, and in the last ten years, the three lowest SLG totals for a hitter who had a .400+ OBP season are Nick Johnson .405, and Joe Mauer .446 and .451. I don't see Eaton ever slugging .446 or better in the majors, so there is one case in the last ten years of somebody hitting .400 OBP with a SLG that Eaton can reasonably attain. Not faulting the kid for having goals, but it ain't happenin'. You are a such a buzzkill.

I am running an 8K on Sunday. What are the chances it'll get cancelled?

De Aza is a left handed bat. I'm not sure why people are so quick to axe him. He can be the fourth OF or PH.

Santiago follows most people who follow him on twitter and interacts with fans.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:47 PM) I've been up for 2 hours now to get my final paper done of college, which is now due 2 hours from now, but this damn trade has totally distracted me. How am I supposed to write a beautiful feature story with this looming over my day? HOW!!??!!?!?!? Stop being a procrastinating bum?

Would some of you say Santiago is still raw?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 08:43 AM) Bring back Lovie! Bring back Lovie! (no, not really) You don't think he would take the job?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 04:03 PM) Not sure actually, there's a Target/Jewel off of Howard about a mile or two west as well. Yeah I know about them, I am just trying to find a decent store that is walking distance. I didn't miss my car for longest time but now, I have a feeling I'll need one soon.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 03:34 PM) Morse Fresh grocery is great for meat/produce/deli, right next to the EL as well. However, it's not great for the non-perishables/frozen foods. For those I typically go to Target or Dominicks (there's one on Ridge a mile or two away, not great for walking for you though). Is that one closing though?

I live near Howard station and the freakin Dominicks is closing by me. I just sold my car too so now I have to figure out how I can do my grocery shopping since it's no longer walking distance.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 04:12 PM) Amazing how quickly my grocery store bill adds up. Didn't even get that much. $75 Stop shopping at whole foods.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 4, 2013 -> 03:08 PM) I got into it awhile ago at work with a guy who hunts. I don't get it and asked why he felt the need to kill innocent animals just minding their business. He got to a point where he said I wasn't "manly" enough to get it, blah blah blah. He's pretty simple minded. Just not my gig. I would have told him I'm about to chin check him, proceed to do it, and when he wakes up, I'd say he wasn't manly enough.

What do the soccer gurus say about this?

Women be crazy. Those women are the ones that will be crying on their couch ballooning themselves up with Ben and Jerry sobbing about being lonely. This is a generalization but from my experience it seems women really want to have their cake and eat it.

When did they switch venues for the State championships?

I didn't see the game last night. How dafuq did the bulls win?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 11:51 AM) He gets just short of $100,000 a day. I don't give a f*** if he feels hurt. Money is everything, right Steve O?

I don't know if anyone has seen this guy pitch but he was second pitcher in Japan next to Yu Darvish.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 03:53 PM) I know a lot of people dislike him, but this sums up my thoughts well: Dan Bernstein ‏@dan_bernstein 6m It would be a worse loss if the #Bears were actually good. If that helps. This is true. The Bears C or D team is out there at this point. A bunch of scrubs off the street.
