Teams are turning away from a traditional DH? Which teams would those be exactly? Yankees - Matsui - 116 starts at DH Boston - Ortiz - 138 starts at DH Rays - Burrell - 112 starts at DH Jays - Lind - 92 starts at DH Orioles - Scott - 89 starts at DH Twins - Kubel - 80 games at DH Tigers - Thames - 50 games at DH Sox - Thome - 98 games at DH Indians - Hafner - 88 games at DH Royals - Jacobs - 102 games at DH Angels - Vlad - 93 games at DH Rangers - Jones 53/Blalock 49 Mariners - Griffey - 91 A's - Cust - 96 Obviously injuries and other circumstances skewed some of these numbers. Hafner & Matsui injuries, Thome being traded to the NL, etc. Even taking the 53 games of Jones and the 50 of Thames it still averages to nearly 93 games at the DH position. I'm sure Ozzie is just saying this because he wants a more slappy/punchy team. That or they can't sign anyone to fill the void at DH that isn't 38+ years old.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) 2 of the weakest goals ive seen them give up this season. Just lazy plays. The Hawks looked very sluggish and slow to react that first period. I hope Q ripped into them during the break and wakes them up.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 05:11 AM) No.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 10:18 PM) while i think versteeg won, it did not appear to me that the announcers were favoring eaves. Pierre McGuire definitely was. He is a tool though.

Just watching the playoffs...how the hell did Wanda Sykes get a TV show? Isn't this the second time?

I absolutely loved seeing Toews muscle away Chara and then Sharpie laying the lumber and knocking the big man down. They really responded well tonight.

People really care about the Northwestern Womens Lacrosse? WTF?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 13, 2009 -> 12:55 PM) wrong thread? Maybe he was playing Madden?

QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) PAIN! Hahah, excellent!

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Dec 9, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) Someone got a video link to this supposed amazing goal? http://www.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?hlg=200...48&fr=false

QUOTE (The Beast @ Dec 6, 2009 -> 06:40 PM) Kevin Brown, anyone? He signed with the Dodgers in 1998.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 26, 2009 -> 11:03 AM) Not to mention Havlat is also a -14 on the year. Major bullet dodged there.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 09:09 PM) Definitely, if they dealt him, I'd have to buy a new jersey to wear to games. I also heard Versteeg is a possibility to be traded too. If the salary cap is preventing them from signing the extensions with the big 3, just agree to the terms, shake hands, and sign them in the offseason, so you can keep this team together. If it was between Steeger and Sharp I deal Versteeg. I personally like Sharp more for his versatility, penalty killing and being solid at C as well as wing. Losing either would suck big time though. Getting rid of Sopel and Campbell would be a dream scenario.

Let's make Jordan Hendry our 2nd line center!

I wanted to be Arnold Schwarzanegger circa Predator/Commando.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 02:51 PM) Dude, I just don't have the time, to be honest. I can't be staying up until 4am shooting it up with a bunch of 18 year olds who have nothing better to do than hone their skills all day long. I used to have the time to commit to a game like say, Halo 2 and even as recently as Halo 3, and of course it was a blast to completely annihilate f***ers all night and roll with your buddies. However, I'm not about to put in the time to become good enough at MW2 online. During the week I have to work and take care of the house, and on weekends normally I'm out doing s***. Basically, married life does not coddle to the online gamer. I get in my games for the online Madden dynasty, though. We'll see with MW2, I definitely want to play the single-player campaign, but 4.5 hours is quite short for $60. Heck, renting Arkham Asylum for a week and returning it 5 days past due was a perfect setup, and that single-player game was pretty long. If I decide I want to start losing sleep, I'll buy MW2, but I think I'll rent it and enjoy the single-player. However, this is great to hear. I'd more than likely play it on the harder difficulty settings to get a realistic gaming experience. You know once I have it in-hand I won't be able to resist the multiplayer. That's the great thing about it though Steve. You can just hop on, play a quick match or two and hop off. You don't have to worry about staying on, hanging around, looking for a save point. Any of that junk. I'm sure you feel the same way that I do. At this age it's less about being the bad ass uber master and more about just enjoying the game, having fun and playing it when you can get some time. I think this game is going to be pretty epic.

TI is obviously short for T1000 you newbs!

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 03:40 PM) Kirk Hinrich being awesome. I'm assuming it is a video they play during a timeout at the UC or something. One more reason to love the Captain.

I love Piezenski too much to bat him that low. Pie should always bat first.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 09:11 PM) Or...Green Bay could possibly work out a deal with St. Louis to take the top OT in the draft (Russell Okung). Maybe something like their 1st, 3rd, and Kampman for the Rams top pick? That would be a terrible trade. Also not likely to happen if Thompson is still employed by the Packers next season as he is a guy who covets having as many draft picks as possible. I'd rather us switch back to a 4-3 than trade Kampman.

Did my pre-order of MW2. God I can't wait to play that game.

Man, he looks really sick there.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 10:45 PM) Like when he had him choked out, and Shields was saved by the bell? Yeah, exactly. 5 seconds longer and Miller would have won that fight.

QUOTE (tommy @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) Strikeforce tonight guys, in Hoffman Estates and live on CBS. Feeeeeeedor! Pretty solid card from what I watched. ****SPOILERS**** Gegard Mousasi is awesome. I love his fights. He looked good tonight. Shields was his usual boring self. After he realized he couldn't sub Miller he just did some LNP action for the rest of the fight. I think Miller is pretty fun and was hoping for him to catch Shields at some point. Fedor/Rogers was a good fight. Rogers looked like a threat during the first round. However, he had the same fate as the rest of Fedor's opponents. Man, that KO shot was so fast and brutal. Just like that, bam, it was over. The guy is simply amazing. He looks beatable and then does something crazy to win it.
