  1. QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 08:30 PM) Did anyone see Robert Kraft's reaction at the end of the game? That might stick with me more than anything else from this game. Sports are an incredible thing. But there is so much more to life than a game. Yet, at the same time, sports can give someone hope. His reaction was heartbreaking. I didn't catch it. Can you elaborate?
  2. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 08:17 PM) It has been explained to you 600 times. If it still baffles you, then you're purposely being obtuse. "Why didn't they sign Mark and trade Peavy for Pujols?"
  3. QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) It baffles me the Sox would have Mr. Moneybags on the team and let Buehrle go. Do you understand the basics of baseball economics? One player was no longer under contract. The other is still under contract and a very expensive one at that...with a history of injuries. How exactly did you think that would play out?
  4. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) I feel the same way about the game. I spend the whole year avoiding everything to do with Boston and New York sports and now I am supposed to plan my whole day around it? Blah. Bunch of communist, socialist, marxists on this forum.
  5. I'm an AFC guy so I'm rooting for the Pats. Game could go either way IMO. Neither team has a big edge.
  6. QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 01:10 PM) I don't like President Obama, but I do like Candidate Obama...which is who I think he will be if he is re-elected. Romney is the Republican version of Kerry (out of touch and elitist). Gingrich is, well, just not quite all there. Can't put my finger on it, but he just scares me. What are you basing this on?

    QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 10:11 AM) Anyone else watch Downton Abbey? Not sure why I decided to give it a try, probably the historic setting, but I ended up busting through the first season this week (360 minutes split into 4 episodes). I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a new show. Good acting, good writing and some interesting characters. I've heard nothing but good things. May give it a shot.

    Have I mentioned I love Justified?
  9. I love living in a progressive state. State Senate approves gay marriage bill
  10. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) I'm not voting for Obama. Ditto
  11. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 12:54 PM) Honestly, you guys going to the hyperbolic are both hilarious. Yes, negative perceptions of Bush helped fuel Obama's election. Yes, Obama capitalized on that, and who wouldn't? No, Obama's campaign was not nearly as negative as McCain's, or even close to the ones we see now in the GOP primaries. No, Bush was not the only reason Obama was elected. No, Obama didn't do 8 years of negative campaigning. But you two feel free to try to make everything simple, and black and white, even when it is not. Nicely done.
  12. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) She accepted a job that entails moving away from you without discussing it with you. I wouldn't move there for her, especially if you'll be depending on her financially. This was my initial reaction as well. Mark, we missing any other details?
  13. Huge win in Florida. No one saw this coming.
  14. via I am baffled there are still people that hate Noah.
  15. QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 12:32 PM) Didn't Walker immediately land another hitting coach job the moment it was obvious he wouldn't be back with the Sox? Just saying, maybe he's not the devil. So you're saying as long as someone hires you to coach, you're automatically an excellent coach? How many awful coaches do you see get recycled in all of the major sports?
  16. QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 03:40 PM) flaming permitted here? Ok Why the Twolves hate? Mark my words, in 3-5 years that my friend is a 2nd round playoff team.
  17. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 10:08 AM) Does your computer not accept cookies? That's what Google is reading, not ads. It does. Is there another step I need to take after I click that link?
  18. Seeing the Prometheus trailer on the big screen yesterday got me all giddy.
  19. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 09:43 AM) If you're curious about what google thinks your demographic is: https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads/onweb They think I'm 55-64, at least at work. I'm not sure what to think of that. Nothing comes up for me. I'm guessing it's because I use adblocker.
  20. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 08:36 AM) Read the synopsis I posted from Cracked. Heh. Not bad.
