QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 05:02 AM) Have you ever stopped to notice how strange rock music is? I mean, it's such a part of our culture now that we hardly even notice. Our ears are so well trained for it, that we can pick out melody among all that noise. The next time you listen to it, pretend if you can, that you'd never been exposed to it before. It's really weird noise. Ok, Grandpa.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 10:25 AM) I could see why people thought Gatsby's sucked, but the bottom level had the best and most pool tables in town. I loves me a good pool hall.

Hooray. It being Thursday means the newest "Sons of Anarchy" will be available in HD On Demand. I love that show.

QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 07:29 PM) for all of you that have had to send in your xbox for service: how long was the turn around? I've got a buddy who got it back in 2 weeks. I've had mine for about a year now, still no issues. However, when I do have an issue, the $$ spent at Best Buy for the warranty will be worth it, because I can just go in there and they'll hand me a brand new system immediately.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 10:33 AM) Seen Changeling last night,Clint I love ya but that was one boring ass movie.If I counted correctly the phrase "my son","her son",and "your son" was said 6,993 times in a 2 and a half hour marathon of watching Angelina cry. Yeah, I've heard some bad things about that one, which is surprising, given the fact that Eastwood was in the business of only making Best Picture contenders.

I'm going to say something unpopular. Though I love the smell of bacon, I do not like the taste.

It was funny when I was reading it and I thought it was actually some dude trying to sell his car. Damn funny.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) Boldin brings me another weekly fantasy win. What a horrible coaching performance by Big Mike. Funny how pundits are blaiming Martz, and not Singletary. I think it all obviously should fall on the head coach.

Khabibulin was flat out ridiculous last night. That may have been the best game I've seen from a goaltender in this town since Ed Belfour left. I personally think any team in need should be calling DT non-stop until Khabby is theirs. However, trading 'Bulin might no longer be the best move this team could make. On another note, someone needs to come in and teach our players what to do in shootouts and penalty shots. Sharp should have ended this game on that OT penalty shot, and not scoring there is unacceptable. MAKE A DAMN MOVE! All of our players come in and shoot the puck. Make a move, channel the old Tony Amonte move where he flew in from the side, slammed on the brakes, and stuffed the puck into an empty net. That was some sick s***... the amount of ice he sprayed in the air was un-matched. Or you could do the old Zhamnov . Ok, so it really was a Forsberg thing, but I think Alex was better at it. Seriously though, make some sort of move, there's no need to just try to beat the tender with a wrist shot when you can make any move you want.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 09:03 AM) Triple double for Dwight last night. 30 points. 19 boards, 10 blocks. Yikes. He did that against an NCAA team, so it's really not that impressive to me. OKC without Durant is probably the wrost team to take an NBA court.

Price has been hyped, but Pelfrey's stock really sank until he showed up this year and proved something... he can pitch in the big leagues. The kid has some massive drop to his sinker, has an ok fastball, and has at least one useable off-speed pitch (and I could see Coop teaching a cutter, or even a changeup). Yeah, if you can get Pelf, which I don't think you can, you do it. A rotation with Pelfrey, Floyd, and Danks could be dangerous for a long time. Pelfrey and his sinker would actually be perfect for the Cell.

I, too, would be a huge fan of bringing Sweaty Freddy back. That final game against the Sox was quite impressive, and I think he could definitely be an above average 5th starter. Plus, I could dust off the Garcia jersey shirt! Though his #34 belongs to Floyd now.

That IS a fun factoid!

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 05:07 AM) I don't understand shopping Jenks. The team plays, at a minimum, 1,458 innings. A closer such as Bobby pitches roughly 60-70 innings a year (last year 61.2, the year before 65, the year before that 69.2). If you can get a package of prospects for Bobby or something to fill a role that plays in more than 4% of a baseball season, you f***ing do it. I don't see how anyone would even argue that point.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 07:44 PM) No, you wouldn't. He only has one pitch and that's his sinker. Granted it is a very good sinker, it won't mean much if he has no other pitch to keep hitters off balance. Someone's rather down on young pitchers tonight. Mr. Scout says David Price only has one pitch and now Mike Pelfrey. Pelfrey will basically wind up being Jon Garland... the k rate is nearly identical (even a tad better). If you're saying you don't want a young, cheap Jon Garland (the developed one, not the 5 era one), then I don't know what to say.

QUOTE (rockren @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 11:16 PM) The Rays aren't dealing Garza. They didn't plan on turning Delmon Young into Jermaine Dye a year later. Lets get real. WHAT?! You're ruining everyone's chance to DREAM! Obama's President, and Garza can be a White Sox! Oh, and duh, this is what happens at SoxTalk. People bring up possible scenarios, and then other posters jump in wanting Carl Crawford, Jake Peavy, Matt Garza, etc etc.

This is a very deceptive thread... is everyone hoping Tampa's GM reads this so he trades us Price? Price is going to be an ace. Middle-of-the-rotation my leaking ass!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 07:52 PM) Hope it doesn't suck. That's not possible. /completely unbiased opinion

By "bad" do you mean, "slightly less than great"? EW's review said it wasn't as good as they expected, mainly because of Daniel Craig being gloomy the entire time and out for vengeance, but they still gave it a B.

Is that THE Bob Murray taking over for the Ducks?? IT CERTAINLY IS!! I never thought he'd get a GM job again.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) So Brian Burke is leaving Anaheim as their GM. The rumors mill is overblown that he's headed to Toronto, but I wonder if the Hawks would fire Tallon and appoint Burke in his place? I said months ago the Hawks would nab Burke when they got the chance. Here's their chance, and they'll get him.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 04:00 PM) LOL, you mean Clippers That's hilarious.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 03:45 PM) Do the Mets have anything left of real value in the way of young starting pitching? I'd love to snag Mike Pelfrey!

I highly doubt Jenks gets traded.
