QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 02:11 PM) Ever hear of a little film called "Hoosiers"? "Air Bud"? Are you serious, bro? A movie about a dog that plays basketball feels just right for a conversation about Jeremy Lin thriving in the NBA.

I'll buy a Lin jersey if he keeps doing what he's doing for the rest of the season. I just think that if people want a heart warming basketball underdog story, they should go watch air bud.

I wonder if the people who purchased a Knicks Lin jersey will be able to exchange them for the Erie Bay Hawks jersey he'll be rocking in 3-4 weeks. Or maybe give them a coupon for buy one get one 1/2 price small popcorn at Madison Square Garden.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 03:06 AM) He absolutely does that. My cousin is a big Cubs fan and that was a pet peeve of his about Fukudome. I was a big Juan Uribe fan. Fact: Juan Uribe nearly put Transocean and several of its smaller competitors out of business as a cheaper, more environmentally friendly method of reaching some of the deepest oil wells. With the delicate state of our economy and rising unemployment, it was decided that the thousands of jobs that would be made obsolete would only lead us closer to a modern day Great Depression. Antitrust laws were applied, and the idea was shelved for the time being.

Sox fans need to seriously start worrying about a 48 year old Ichiro and Torii Hunter on wheels rolling around in the outfield soon. I know Manny got to take an iPod with him while on "defense"- would canes and respirators be permissible? I'm sorry for using Manny as an example again, but he was able to relieve himself inside the Green Monster while a pitcher was being relieved on the mound. Catheters just seem like they would be more convenient and would allow the outfielders to study whoever was in the on-deck circle like a hawk would study it's opposition (smaller-sized mammals). Bonus- opposing hitters would have to get used to being surrounded by four hawks. The fourth has an ideal vantage point perched directly behind home plate enabling him to assist the umpiring crew with any trouble they may have in making a correct decision. Bonus 2 - game worn jerseys are big business for memorabilia stores , but game used collection bags would be sought after with a furor that is typically reserved for the festively plump at a lunch buffet that closes in 45 seconds.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 01:24 PM) How can you leave the Blue Jays out of this? Casualty of re-alignment...banished to NPB in Japan.

It's very likely that some years they actually win two for one season.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 10:15 AM) Am I the only one who thinks the Marlins should be investigated? Where the F did they get all this money? It's justifiable because the addition of Ozzie itself guarantees 2 Championships over the course of his contract. If you knew for a fact that you had the winning numbers for the next powerball, you too would probably buy ridiculous things like a Yoenis Cespedes, or a small boat that fits into the pool of a large boat. I would buy something like Yellowstone National Park and then yell at people to get off my lawn.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 12, 2012 -> 08:14 PM) Her sobriety had been a matter of public concern since the late '90s. A common public misassumption had been that if she ever got out from under the sway of husband Bobby Brown, she would be all right. "He was my drug," she told Oprah in 2009, two years after their divorce, after apparently cleaning up. "I didn't do anything without him. I wasn't getting high by myself." Later on in the same interview, she attempted to sell her some prime beachfront property in Iowa.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 12, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) So wrong. So hilarious. If that was the only volley thrown, I would be pissed, but I am guessing there was some craziness It was going on for a while, but it gradually escalated until that. I can't think of anything that they could have done to top that episode. Their response was to put a few heaps of horse manure onto the windshield and hood of a friends car while we were watching a basketball game at one of the Naperville schools.

When I was a senior in high school we went to a junior's house sometime around midnight. His car was at the end of the driveway- the drivers side window was rolled down. One of my buddies hopped onto the door and made a s*** that fell inside the car. It even left a streak down the interior door panel. This was the crescendo of a few weeks of back and forth between us. Not a word was uttered by him the next day at school, or during football practice, which actually made it funnier.

Finding the next of kin (for notification) can probably be done blindfolded in Tennessee. Shouldn't take longer than a minute or two. A minor detail that casts doubt on the validity of the article. Literacy (and therefore books) is limited to only families of the highest nobility.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Feb 11, 2012 -> 11:16 PM) She was a good girl before she hooked up with that POS That seems to be the case with a lot of good girls. They all wind up with heydadlookatme-itis.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 09:01 AM) Live: Throwing Copper That and Secret Samadhi are two very underrated albums. I wouldn't put them in list of top albums, but they're both very good and hardly ever talked about.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 08:38 AM) Like it or not, whenever an artist or public figure tragically dies young, suddenly their work becomes more and more acclaimed than while they were living. Didn't work out that way for Layne Staley. CNN was so gracious that they devoted a few words on the ticker at the bottom of the screen. I think it was something along the lines of "Len Stanley, singer of the death metal band Alice in Wonderland was discovered dead". If you like acoustic sets, Mtv Unplugged or Live at Benaroya Hall are good starting points.

Pearl Jam would be in my top 3 bands of all time, perhaps even #1. Eddie Vedder is doing a solo tour again this year, but it's not coming anywhere here, so I got tickets to the Orlando show. This past summer was actually my first time seeing Eddie Vedder doing his solo show, and Pearl Jam later on at Alpine Valley for their 20th Anniversary show. Nirvana was my thing in middle school, right up until I got my first Pearl Jam album (Binaural). I realized how inferior Nirvana was to Pearl Jam, andNevermind was never played again in my car or house. Nirvana-wise, I thought In Utero was miles better than Nevermind anyway. The The lyrics of Nirvana when compared to those of Pearl Jam is akin to watching a soapbox racing the speed of light. p.s. Another band hailing from Seattle, Alice in Chains; is probably the second best thing to come out of that city. If I could bring back one dead musician for one show, it would be Layne Staley. Music lost a great talent with his death.

Seatbelts are fastened and sick bag is within reach. Now I'm ready for a week or two of nonstop Peyton vs. Eli. No use in trying to outrun it- it will find you.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) I wish Bruce Chen would've gone with him. Gordon Beckham's bat too.

Belichick is one of the funniest guys in sports. I was pissed when Tyree's helmet caught a pass last time. There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth in NY. 31-23.

Word on the street is that the 2011 White Sox drove him to the airport and chipped in for airfare.

I stick to Van Gogh. With the modern stuff, I'm convinced that it's all a great big joke that everyone is in on and they all lol about it after you leave. If I walked into someone commenting on how profound and deep the above example is, I'd definitely play along to see if I could out-stupid them. Kind of like a staring contest, except the goal is to see how far you can go without erupting in laughter.

KW should try flipping Dunn for EJax.

We've got a bunny and a rooster. I'm fairly certain that the rooster would devour the soul of any living thing that stands in his way. We used to have a neighbor's dog come into the yard on a regular basis. One day he met the rooster. Doesn't really come by too often anymore.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 08:30 AM) what plan do you have? i imagine you'll be able to sell the big games, just not for a very big profit. working off ebay and craigslist might get you better results. 27 weekday plan. The 27 stands for the total RBI between Dunn, Rios, and Beckham.
