If you would have just told me the spoilers I wouldn't have wasted the time to go see it. No joke, the ending of this movie ruined the entire movie for me.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 05:55 PM) Casual fans did not know Thor. I dunno about that.

Just got back from The Dark Knight Rises, it was easily the WORST movie of the three.. I am so f***ing pissed off at how it ended. Awful. I am so disappointed its not even funny.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 03:10 AM) One thing that will help GotG is that supposedly Thor will be in it. The problem with it is the casual fan isn't going to go see this more than likely.. the casual fan knows Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Etc. they will see this and go WTF? Most likely the same with stuff like Antman and the Black Panther films, I get that the popularity of superhero movies is booming but these aren't going to appeal to the casual fan.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) Yeah, but its that the fact that they're athletic nerds who played all types of sports in high school gets overlooked. I've had somewhere around 20 people come to one practice and leave because they think it'll be whimsical and a Harry Potter fan club. Then they realize we really don't talk about Harry Potter, get tackled, and it takes athletic ability. Its just stupid. The concept of it is lame, regardless of the athletic ability or lack there of. Then again, this also could just be because I think Harry Potter is dumbest s*** ever and its pathetic that people under 11 love that s***.

Yep, nerds sound about right.

Guardians of the Galaxy will be a major flop

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:58 PM) So let me get this straight. You want to trade for someone who we're not even sure has desire right now to pitch in a pennant race or in a city or media market like Chicago? You're just going to force him to pitch for the White Sox? Then you're going to not only trade away our future and give the guy $100-110 million? Have you lost your mind? When this whole thing blows up, are you going to blame KW? Please repeat after me...at this moment, I, Marty34, will never hold KW responsible for any Zack Greinke trade going completely awry and setting the franchise back for half a decade. I, Marty34, realize that when there's nobody hitting homers for the White Sox in 2014-15-16, I will have myself to blame for the completely punchless offense. You will never know unless you find out, and I think ide rather take a shot at Greinke than do nothing and watch Dylan Axelrod do nothing for this team the rest of the way.. I dont think many fans are going to boo the franchise for trying to win another championship.. And 2014-2015-2016? You dont know who we will have or who comes out of nowhere for this team by then.. you cant always just think about the future, because in the present right now our 1st place lead is getting close to being history. Ill take winning now please.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) He's 4 for his last 36. 26 for his last 115 for an icy .226 average. Only five walks. 1 homer and 7 RBI's. DeAza is really really hurting our offense right now, along with Paulie and Dunn's inability to drive in RISP recently. Not only him.. Konerko and Beckham, no one on our bench can be counted on to hit.. Our pitchers are starting to fall apart.. They need to make a big move to take advantage of where we are right now otherwise we will be out of it in early August.. Too many people around here have WAY too much faith in rookies and abnormal performances..

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) Trading both Viciedo and Quintana for a rental is one of the dumber suggestions I've seen on this board in my time. Probably about as dumb as the people who think Viciedo is a lock to turn into a 35-40 HR hitter and Quintana is a sub 3 ERA pitcher.. Clearly, you're the one who doesn't watch much baseball.

If they want any chance of capitalizing on the lead we have now, and hopefully staying there, they need to make a move like that.. We cant sit back and say "Hey we got all these rookies and are in first, this will surely be sustained!"

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) I think we all accept he's not a 2 ERA pitcher, but he seems like he could be a solid #4/5 for cheap for years to come. With the way Greinke has pitched of late, who's to say Greinke will pitch better the rest of the way than Q? The odds of Greinke pitching better than Q the rest of the season is prolly pretty high.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) Did some asshat just suggest we trade Viciedo and Quintana (as sweetner) for a middle relief guy? What a fool. Uh, who said a middle reliever? And the only fools around here are people who think Quintana is legit.

I give it 2 weeks before Detroit has taken over 1st place in this division.. And no, its not cause we lost tonight.. I thought Detroit would win this division pretty much all season.. We have too many rookies who are going to have their pains eventually and cost us. Our SP is pretty shaky, especially since you cant expect Quintana to pitch like this the rest of the year.. Konerko has literally disappeared since the end of May, he has like 9 RBIs the last 2 months.. Beckham is fading away, these are a lot of holes on this team and that lead is down to 2.5 games pending the end of this Tigers game..

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:01 PM) Trading Viciedo for someone who's only a rental would be just a terrible idea. Look at the contracts being thrown around for Hamels and Greinke. 20 million dollars...yeah right, Sox won't be offering that. Gimme a break, Viciedo is a .275 hitter who is gonna hit 25-30 homeruns, doesn't walk, doesn't hit doubles, and strikes out a lot.. Its crazy that people think Viciedo is some untouchable prize, yet Jared Mitchell who is having a solid season in Double A is horses*** and worthless.. Ide rather win now, and ide not only be up for trading Viciedo but Quintana as well.. Hell maybe you could sucker someone into taking Viciedo and Quintana as the only return for one of these top pitchers.. Wed STEAL that deal, easy

Awful PPV

Can we dump Konerko for him? Pauly has been worthless since the end of May.. WORTHLESS.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 09:51 PM) What if I just want the Sox to win more games, and that is more likely if fans arent booing Adam Dunn. Then what channel should I watch? Boooooooooooo

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 09:45 PM) I'm going to reiterate, epilepsy sucks. Like, destroys your life suck. I can't imagine how Dunn felt watching his young child go through what should be a happy part in his life where his biggest problem is a scraped knee. But he has to watch his son writhe in pain and is powerless to help him. His son probably can't do things that all kids enjoy. His kid might never be allowed to drive, he'll try to fit in but so much will be cut off to him. If it's not cured, he'll have to register with a disability office at schools, because it f***s up your ability to think. Every moment his kid is alive could be his last. He could be playing catch with his kid and watch his kid fall over as the ball soars over his head. But you know what? f*** the guy for striking out. Clearly he should forget about the misery his son is going through because he's in a batters box. So f***ing leave the team and help your son until you're comfortable enough to come back. Stop making excuses for him. Its a f***ing game, go watch the Oprah channel if you wanna feel sorry for people in unfortunate situations.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 09:37 PM) Lots of class being shown in this thread. The guy has to travel all over the country leaving behind a kid who should not be left alone....yeah, I'm sure he really gave a s*** about what you superfans thought of his performance. oh shut up If its so tough, retire

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) Who cares about how the fans feel, the fans dont have to perform. No one is asking you to go on the field and hit a 90+ fastball, so I really dont care about you or other fans feelings. The fans SHOULD BE CHEERLEADERS, that is the point you are missing. Do you even understand the function of a cheerleader? They are supposed to get the FANS CHEERING. CHEER LEADER The point of a game is to win, if you care about the team, you should do everything in your power to help that team win. If you dont care about the team, go ahead and boo, it will make you feel better, and that seems to be what you care about, how you feel, as opposed to the team winning. After this post, I am never posting another thing again except for to follow you around and quote and boo every post you make from now on.. I want to see if the quality of your posts go down because im not supporting you.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 09:02 PM) In what world did Adam Dunn not realize that people weren't pleased with his performance last year? How stupid do you think he is? Its not just Adam Dunn. Theres plenty of legit reasons to boo someone or something at a sporting event. Thats the only voice the fans have, cheer and boo. Dont give me this write a letter crap or say nothing because the player obviously knows they were bad. You dont have to boo, no one is saying that.

Actually I got to Microsoft and stand outside the door and slap a high five to everyone who walks out because XBOX is undeniably better than the crappy $300 paperweight that is the PS3. Write a letter? Ide have to boo myself if I did that. I understand you're some kind of lawyer or lawyer in training so you think you can out argue everyone on this board, but your opinion doesn't matter any more than anyone elses here. You either boo or you don't, you'll never be able to justify that its wrong and ill never be able to justify that its right. Writing a letter is not an acceptable option and is more likely to be crumpled up and thrown away than read. This isn't 1950.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) But if the stats show booing hurts performance, why take the risk? You keep comparing a boss to a player playing a sport. Imagine if in the middle of a presentation, your boss started booing you. How do you think that would go? After the game, behind closed doors, is an appropriate time to discuss failures. I hope they let me into the locker room then so I can tell Dunn how terrible he is. Oh, youre telling me that I cant do that? Well how can I let it be known that I am not happy with the performance that I am paying to see....

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) 0 evidence? Well I put it into the googles and this is what I found: http://thehoopdoctors.com/online2/2012/03/...mpact-his-play/ And more: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_6894...3/ai_n57525309/ And onto the actual test: If this was a stadium, theyd be booing you. Sorry, but I dont buy that.
