QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 10:07 AM) Cuz after all, what's the point of a woman if she can't make you top shelf sammiches? Man's got to eat, Reddy.

Man whoever made this thread should be perma banned for giving me a heart attack. Unacceptable.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 09:53 AM) Sounds like no gun was involved in the incident and they're not going to bring charges. I bet there's something up with his wife. She lied earlier about how much money they made, so not exactly a model citizen. More black on white hate crime in New York: http://nypost.com/2013/09/09/bus-riders-fa...ng-hate-attack/ Still cracks me up that in a story about hate crimes they can't say that the suspect is black in their description, even when they provide a picture. (And yes I realize this is the Post, but still. This nonsense journalism happens everywhere, including Chicago).

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 03:19 PM) The Sox are going to lose 95+ games the time isn't now. Come on Marty look what the Red Sox did in one year. They went from zero to hero!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 03:06 PM) Still, if you're Zimmerman go live in a hole for a few years to avoid this exact kind of situation. I really thought he'd lay low but he seems to like this 15 minutes of fame s***. It's really not good for his image when he's getting pulled over for speeding and touring gun factories. People can't help but to think that's a giant f*** you to the Martin family.

And this will be the second thread closed pretty soon.

Avi G is bad at defense?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 04:48 PM) Anyone got any specific date ideas in the southwest burbs that aren't dinner or a movie? Preferably something not too expensive. I'm bored. Making dinner together, something that actually requires cooking, is a good date. Very few women will not like this as it will allow you plenty of time for conversation and you could gauge her culinary prowess at the same time.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 10:46 AM) Just watched it. Anyway, accuracy in gun fights goes down a ton. As the standoff was progressing, you can see Hank and Gomez begin to position themselves behind the engine block, which is exactly where you'd want to be. In reality, they're safer there than the skinheads are on top of the trucks or in the door frames. The better question is how Walt didn't get shot inside the SUV. And they likely didn't show their badges because they know they're gonna be shot anyway, and reaching for it would make them even easier targets. They're definitely out of rounds, though. They are both probably killed in the opening of the next episode. It WAS odd to see Todd look so frazzled after shooting the kid so easily and accurately before. OK seriously, as a cop, there is no way you get into a gun fight being out manned and out gunned like that. I mean, what's the point of returning fire like that when you have limited rounds. Are you just praying to take a few of them down before you die? Walt didn't get shot because of the obligatory, "get down and pray no bullets hit you" technique.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 09:35 AM) That confused me as well. Probably because they knew there was no chance in hell. No chance in hell they would recognize their authority? Maybe they figured if they lowered their guard they would get iced? I dunno but maybe just maybe they would have thought twice about killing a fed.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 12:10 AM) I was trying to notice things in the distance, and I swear I saw a figure or two appear on the top of one of the cliffs. I thought right after he said he loved her that we would see a bullet go through his head from a sniper. But either way, it was obvious that the Nazis would have to show up and save Walt, I just figured they wouldn't miss with their first 200 rounds. Seriously, it was like 7 guns pointed at Hank and Gomez, and they weren't even shielded. They should have shredded them. If TV was like reality, noone would watch that s***. If they got shredded, people would have been like "oh man, wtf!". They could have made it realistic with the episode ending at the standoff and having them get shredded at the beginning of the next episode. However, even cops when outgunned like that probably try to negotiate or lay their arms down. I found that to be extremely unrealistic. Also, why when asked to identify themselves as law enforcement did they refuse to do so? Odd items all around.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 03:59 PM) Is anyone watching Low Winter Sun? I've recorded the first 4 so I'm in a position where I don't miss the next great AMC show, but likely wouldn't watch it until BB is done and I can just cruise through the whole season. Good? Bad? Average? I haven't watched it either, let me know what you think. I think the TV market is over-saturated with cop shows/dramas. I'm sorta glad two of favorite shows are coming to an end this season. BB and Burn Notice. imbd users gave it 7.3/10 scale

Awesome! We should blow a lot more games to get that 1st pick for sure.

Alright Reddy, let's bet.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 10:23 PM) Rested* Hector wants to pitch tomorrow. The broseph is from the area, he has to feel snubbed.

lmao they snubbed Hector.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 02:37 PM) Why am I trolling? I was flat out pissed off after watching that team screw up that inning like a bunch of 4th graders trying to play the Yankees. Greg, you are being intentionally obtuse.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 01:43 PM) I hated the way he seemed to think 'reaching across the aisle' was to go like gangbusters at your own side. If he went after Obama half as hard as he does his supposed fellow Republicans on some issues, it could have been an interesting contest. I personally think McCain had a chance because he's not your prototypical republican. That Sarah Palin pick though, that just didn't make much sense to anyone.

Was there the obligatory, "LOOK AT ALL MY s***TTTTTT!"

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 11:55 AM) Which one was it? The one with a pug and a blow up pug or the pug humping the cat? Titty Sprinkles.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 10:12 AM) Well Ozzie obviously wouldn't put up with it, and if he did, well he doesn't take the field anymore, it's the players' fault. Ta ta ting!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 10:34 AM) With a shoulder injury, I am guessing it was both. I agree. He should get another shot if he's 100%. He should not have jerked the team around like that.

Leaked episode of the season 3 premiere of Homeland was released. I saw it, it's pretty good.

Ok my question is, if Flowers wasn't battling injury, would he have sucked a lot less?
