QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 11:45 AM) I agree completely, and I'm not saying everyone of them is a pro, but there are standouts that are, and it's those that I find annoying. I mean, I don't find the actual people annoying, I find that using them for videos of this sort is annoying. For the most part, I can do these workouts from start to finish without a problem, but others that are just starting out that AREN'T in shape, at all...it's pretty intimidating watching pros perform a move you aren't even close to being able to perform. I wish they'd ONLY use regular people, even people in their special little test-group, and not professionals. Tony is the only pro that needs to be there. I find it more motivating watching a regular person that got into shape versus watching a person that's paid to be in shape 24/7/365. If it was my job to be in shape, it'd be pretty easy to do so. so much whining. just watch everyone not named Stephanie then. lol

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 11:32 AM) The person I'm talking about in specific is that Stephanie girl from Pilates/Yoga, she's just TOO perfect at every single move they perform. Ok, looked it up -- she IS a pro. So much for me having literally zero backing. lol if you'd said that right off the bat I could've told you Stephanie Saunders has worked for Beachbody for like 10 years.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 11:15 AM) This is the part I don't buy. I think most of these people are manufactured pros, while a few of them may have done something incredible even they were afforded extraordinary means to do so. I could be in perfect shape too if I didn't have to worry about my job/family for 6 months. You realize you have literally zero backing up this reaction right? It's purely manufactured on YOUR part. lol

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 10:48 AM) Immediate trade and travel restrictions. Also, immediately greenlight the Keystone XL pipeline and other domestic energy options in order to reduce Russia's influence over the energy markets. You wanted all of that to happen in 24 hours? This whole thing's only been going on three days. There is a LOT at stake and it's incredibly important how we respond, as well as how the rest of the world responds. There are many nations involved and many moving parts to something like this. We do now have sanctions in place, and I'm sure more will follow. I expect Russia also to be kicked from the G8. And lets be honest, if he used this to greenlight the Keystone, opponents would be screaming opportunism. There's no reason to rush to any hasty action, better to examine options and focus on diplomacy IMO.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 07:55 AM) I hate assholes who assume that I listen to Fox News because of what I said. My thoughts are my own. OK, well in that case, why do you feel Obama is sitting on his ass? What would you have preferred him to do, up to this point?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 07:59 AM) Our active military is almost exactly twice as large as theirs, plus we spend boatloads more money. Russia has a draft as well, so it isn't an all-volunteer army. Even if there army were twice the size, you're still talking about an invasion and occupation of another country that would have huge internal and international backlash. How well has that worked for anyone in recent decades? Absolutely. I'm well aware that an aggressor hasn't won a war in.... well... ever, in the last 100+ years, so I'm not saying it'd be the prudent move, and hell I don't even think the odds of an actual invasion are anywhere near high, but there is a reason he's doing this beyond "protecting" Crimea. The problem is, if we just sit back and let him annex Crimea, that sets a really dangerous precedent...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 09:25 PM) It seems extremely unlikely that Russia has the military strength to occupy and pacify the parts of the Ukraine that just toppled te government. They were able to do this step because they didn't have to fight. They could beat the Ukraine in a straight fight against their army but they don't have nearly the level of resources it would take to pacify the state afterwards. their standing army is double the size of ours...

I think Putin is afraid of Ukraine joining the EU and losing the free access to the oil lines that run through the country that RUSSIA set up back in USSR days. It's not unlikely that he's looking into re-annexation as the ultimate end-game...

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 04:53 PM) Russia has invaded a neighbor, the US President is sitting on his ass, and gas prices have shot up. I've been listening to the Bee Gees, Doobie Brothers, and STYX all day since it's apparently 1979 again. I hate Fox News and everyone who listens to them. OBAMA AND THE ENTIRE EU IS GOING TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS AND ISOLATE RUSSIA This is the RIGHT and PRUDENT move. Why the f*** do you guys all want BOOTZ ON DUH GROWND NOW OR YOU FAILZ OBAAMMA!

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) My friend is into this stuff, but I find it too unsafe to bother with. It'd be fine if it was people in mostly decent shape/athletic, but it's not, it's filled with people that shouldn't be there, and they tend to cause accidents and take others down with them. People ALWAYS get hurt at these events in mass numbers, and usually because some out of shape frat "bro" idiot causes a catastrophe. It's bad enough with the course conditions being varied and constantly changing because of weather, but those people make it worse. yeah but now that I have $54/month Obamacare I don't have to worry about that!

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 09:27 AM) I've also done both the Yoga and Pilates routines, and for how short they are, there are just too many complex movements involved to the point I just can't enjoy either of them. It's like rapid fire movement changes where you barely get a second to learn proper form of a single move, and hold it for a minute to make sure you're using the right combination of muscles. I also wish P90X would stop using professionals whose 9-5 job is basically to be in perfect shape and use regular people so they can tailor the workouts to regular people that can't do 5 minute handstands while doing the splits. I'm in pretty insane shape these days, but these overly flexible/in perfect shape models they use in these videos just get annoying. And yes, I know they claim they're just regular joes, but we all know they aren't. In LA those ARE the regular joes.

Oh, and Avi also has a career .734 OPS in the minors compared to Eaton's .951

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Mar 1, 2014 -> 10:07 PM) Just a little devil's advocate here, but how is it that you consider Eaton not to be an issue but Avisail to have limited power if we're going based on their current developmental status? Eaton did not have a successful year last year. He was hurt all year. Avi has 37 homers over 2,000 minors ABs. Questions?

I love Boggs. So happy about that pickup, and no I would not be at all surprised if he's closing for us by June. I didn't know that about arb and closers, so that may be the case. I would've said Jones was a lock before reading that... now I'm not sure.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 06:03 PM) a What you are not considering is the complete lineup. IF Avi hits 2nd, that probably leaves 6-9( SS-2B-3B-C) as all singles hitters. That also leaves Viciedo/DeAza as the protection for the 4th batter. I think we will see Beckham or Alexei or whoever wins 3b as the second batter. the bigger issue is Eaton. If he fails, who bats 1st. Eaton is not an issue. This I promise you.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 05:55 PM) So you're telling me there's a chance... But seriously, pretty crazy. That's awesome, though. When I turned 18, I pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'm always going to be 5'9". shut your mouth I'm 5'7"

QUOTE (Dunt @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 05:27 PM) His wife is gorgeous for sure good god sir.

just signed up for a Spartan Sprint in June. Anyone ever done one? Or another obstacle course/mud run?

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) so he didnt bat second, then oi. listen, if Beckham could hit then clearly he's our #2. he cant. I really don't want Lexi and his sub-300 OBP in the two hole. If Avi isn't 2nd to start the season I'll eat all the crow you want

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 04:12 PM) Sportsnet LA just showed an amazingly tense moment of a kid eating a hot dog, dog was this close to falling out of the roll. Back to you in the studio. i thoroughly enjoyed it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) The MLB.TV feed from Dodgers website is pristine ^

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) Brian Wilson in to pitch. How does the beard look? Flowers with a single to greet Wilson. the beard itself looks worse than ever. like... let's move on dude. your 15 minutes is over

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 03:33 PM) Adrian I know I just think it's funny we give the same nickname to players with the same initials.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) leadoff two-bagger from Agon Alex Gonzalez?

Davidson is dreamy.
