QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 08:47 AM) The Cards are my second favorite team due to my dad, I follow them like a Hawk, I watch tons of games on mlb.tv, even John Rooney (the great) has mentioned numerous times that Rasmus is having clubhouse problems. Drinky LaRussa has never taken Rasmus out of his doghouse. Rasmus doesn't gel with Big Mac as a hitting coach, and he's also been unlucky with balls in play. I've seen a lot of Colby Rasmus, and the kid has elite upside. Given this rumor (that I still don't believe) involves a walking Edwin Jackson (both in terms of his contract status and the way he pitches), a 35 year old reliever making good money, and a prospect not named Viciedo, it'd be a no-brainer if the rumor were true. The big question here is, why do you still talk to your dad?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 08:32 AM) Why does it seem no one is nervous about the step back Rasmus has taken this year? Serious question? Are we just expecting him to return to form the moment he hits Chicago? We do have a world class hitting coach that will likely turn him around.

I finally watched A history of Violence over the weekend. Not bad although I expected more out of it given the rave reviews my friends had given it. Also tried watching The Man From Earth based on qwerty's suggestion. Was totally getting into it and Netflix streaming cut it off at the 26 minute mark. When I went back to the description page it shows up as a 26 minute long film which is wrong. IMDB shows it as 1 hr 27 minutes. WTF!! Now I have to go find it somewhere since I got rid of the DVD plan with them.

So how does this event shape the war on terror?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 07:22 AM) Way to really step out on a limb there

So what happens to this terrorist? Do they have the death penalty there?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 09:43 AM) We wouldn't have a $120 million payroll if we endured the years of suckiness to have a minor league system like Tampa Bay. We'd be in the $50 to $75 million range. This is the chicken or the egg argument. We wouldn't have had to spend so much if we had a good farm system filled with talent.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) The difference in perspective is huge. Winehouse is the one who is going to get all of the attention, which is just pathetic. Nothing new here. The media focuses on crap like this all of the time.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:26 AM) Yeah, 92 innocent people were just killed in Norway, but people are upset about a drug addict finishing hersef off...come on now I know this might sound impossible but some people can be upset about both things simultaneously. Go figure.

I guess having the highest or close to highest payroll in our division for a the last few years doesn't translate as well.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:25 AM) Will Dayan Viciedo be in the house to play "Smack a Sinker"? Her's not the f***ing savior!

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) But I just get the feeling that Strange was elated to hear this news that Breivik was a homegrown nutjob, and not a Muslim radical as is to be expected with these sorts of things, and that now he had some more ammunition to argue that rightwingers are the real terrorists. The first bolded is a stretch but I guess since you're so cynical it's to be expected. The 2nd bolded is something that I don't recall him ever taking as a stance in the 6 years I've been on this site. But I'm sure you'll use this terrible event as some excuse to play the victim card.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 03:31 PM) You were just dying to point that out, weren't you? Yeah, he should have not included facts to the case. That's something that should be swept under the rug regarding this whacko.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Thanks for that stat. Another example of us eating our own on here. Coming from the guy that did nothing but complain about Carlos once he was selected to the ASG. "Look at his average!!" "Will he be hitting at .240 by the time the ASG is here?!?!"

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 08:23 AM) I really respect Juan. Not only has he hit a heck of a lot better, making himself a serviceable MLB player than last month, but he is a classy dude. I feel the same way.

Damn. Sorry Mark.

If I'm not mistaken, it could bolster the case for superstring theory. That's a theory that involves parallel/multiple universes.

Found it!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) is that a complimentary gift when you order your "jump to conclusionss" floor mat? Just make sure not to “loose a turn”. EDIT: Kyle, I hope you actually know what he's referring to because it's awesome.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) According to my "Too soon to complain" chart we are currently at "Wait until the trade deadline" excuse. Heh. You need to make that chart your sig.
