this convo is so gay

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 10:40 AM) Where'd you hear this? I haven't heard where they are this close to anything. It was on espn.com as the headline, finheaven.com, and I listen to ESPN radio on satellite radio all day and they also talked about it.. the latest ive heard now is that there are owners going against eachother in this example.. an owner like Jerry Jones who spends on his team doesn't think he should share the same amount of money with a guy like Paul Brown who doesn't do those things..

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 10:44 PM) I will say I'm actually far more pissed at the Sox than I even usually am this year for quite the opposite reason. I bought in, and thought this team was going to win this division. And I suppose it still could. But it just seem unlikely right now, and that's just disheartening. Were 5 1/2 out of a weak ass division in mid June.. Im not sure how anyone could think its unlikely

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) As usual, don't let actual reality interfere with your hyperbole: Beckham last 28 days: .265/.351/.718 Perfectly acceptable for a 2B. the problem for me is it feels like there should be more from him

How good would this team be? 1. Lillibridge LF 2. Ramirez SS 3. Quentin RF 4. Konerko 1B 5. Young CF 6. Allen DH 7. Pierzynski C 8. Beckham 2B 9. Morel 3B 1. Buehrle 2. Danks 3. Floyd 4. Hudson 5. Gio CL Santos

QUOTE (Bighurt52235 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 06:50 PM) In addendum, it is very easy to hit a golfball 400+ feet. I would love to drive golfballs all over and out of US Cellular with a bat. I was coming in here to say this I remember in high school tossing up a golfball and hitting it with an aluminum bat and it easily going 500+ feet

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 02:48 AM) Colossal is appropriate. I've grown tired of ripping on Pierre. He's bad. We all know this. Gordon hasn't really been thrown under the bus yet. This guy is absolutely clueless for what was supposed to be such an advanced college hitter. I'd give anything for Smoak right now. Yep, pretty much what I was thinking.. but then again im not one of those people who kill myself over players who aren't here because they were traded by us or passed over by us in the draft.. And that's funny that I said that in response to your post, but its purely coincidental and not directed at you

Im surprised no one has mentioned this years NCAA and how awesome the new coaching carousel looks..

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 02:41 AM) Offensively, he's been every bit as bad as Pierre. Major disappointment is an understatement. I was going to say collosal but I dont know if thats spelled right and my spell check is not giving me an option for it when I left click it.. so to save myself from looking dumb, I changed it to major..

Oh, and I am also pretty sure I despise Beckham more than Pierre at this point.. that dude has been a major disappointment

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 01:39 AM) Morel in the 2 hole? Alexei in the 5 spot? That's a shake-up. May not be here to stay, but at least he isn't copy and pasting the same s*** lineup again. I don't mind Morel in the #2 hole, at least he puts the ball into play.. in fact, if it was permanently Morel at #2 and Alexei at #5 I would like that a hell of a lot more than seeing AJ come up to bat 5th

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 12:03 AM) Real there's no way you trade Floyd as he is only guaranteed starter we have next year. Who knows if Humber blows up rest of the way If they do deal Floyd then I would assume that more people will be following him out the door in a total cleaning of house, in which case I don't think it matters much WHO is guaranteed to be in the rotation next season..

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 01:30 AM) There it is, yet again. It's entirely up to Williams to remove Pierre and his influence from the team. Guillen will NEVER get it. What the hell is he supposed to say? Pierre is absolutely terrible and is killing this team? We all know he needs to go, but Ozzie cant just bash everyone who isn't doing good on the team.. he cant bench Pierre, Rios, Beckham, Morel, Dunn.. Who the hell else can take over all those spots? The longer Juan Pierre is on the team and starting, the more blame KW deserves.. if he is with Ozzie that Pierre needs to stick at the leadoff spot till he MAYBE starts getting it going then hes an idiot.. if he is keeping him here because he doesn't want to upset Ozzie even though its HIS JOB to manage the roster then hes an idiot.. anyway you look at it, its KW that's facilitating this mess and hes really the only person who can put a stop it it..

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 10:07 PM) ill take the one on the left, Carl you take the one on the right, ready? BREAK! ugh, fine but next time you're the one taking the dive

their names sound like they are hott, but you never know

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 10:50 AM) Yeah...and I remember the ball you're talking about...but come on, he was doing the Cuban special those games he pitched for us...and I know it was only 3 starts or something...but it was a very ill-timed 3 mediocre starts. He was terrible, and the prospect of a better arm for a playoff push is something ide never blame KW for..

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 07:16 AM) Yeah, I think HHH has a respect for wrestling that Vince seems to lack. I'm hopeful that whenever Vince retires/dies, Steph and HHH can put the "wrestling" back in World Wrestling Entertainment. Oh definitely, you know HHH respects the hell out of the business.. ide imagine that once Vince is gone it will most certainly get back to more wrestling based..

So apparently they are at about "80-85" percent on the deal and people are sticking around because it could be done in a few days.. how the f*** could they not have been like this months ago and avoided this bulls***?

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) A five-day title reign (that was actually a 2-day reign) really cheapens a title in my eyes as well. Another gripe I have is Vince's weird problem with the word "belt". He throws a hissy-fit if anyone refers to the leather thing with the gold plates on it as a belt or strap. Apparently, Vince thinks calling the belt a belt (or a strap) is old-time hokey carnival speak. That's asinine, IMO. I heard on Formerly Creative (a GREAT podcast created by former WWE writer David Lagana) that Paul London once was busted open legit during a match and did a really good intense, bloody backstage promo, only to have Stephanie squash it because London said that "______ will never take this belt from me". She told Lagana "You know I can't show that to Vince - he said BELT." and that was the end of that promo. To me, it's ridiculous to hear an announcer say that "Christian hit Randy Orton with the WWE title". Noooooo, he hit him with the BELT that represents the title! haha wow, I never even caught on that no one has been saying belt Ive got a good feeling that once Vince is out of the equation thinks will change for the better.. especially if Trips is the new man in charge

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 11:12 PM) It all depends on what the next Playstation or Xbox will feature. The new Battlefield game will be one of the first games to really push the newer generation video cards on PC. It is not economical for the Wii U to feature a new gen. card given its expensive controller, but I feel like Microsoft and Sony will definitely put something a lot more powerful in their next gen. machines. Battlefield looks absolutely gorgeous from everything ive seen.. that engine is incredible

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 01:06 PM) Now I am hearing that the Astros owner said he wants to stay in the NL (no s***), but the Dbacks said they are willing to move to the AL if it helps the league. that would SUCK The Sox haven't been down here since the early 2000's when Ray Durham was still on the team.. im ready to actually go to 3 or 4 Sox games in a row..

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 04:23 PM) The difference is I KNOW mine are terrible and will tell you up front. I have no delusions that they're at all good

I just REALLY hope that they send the Astros to the AL.. That would be awesome to be able to go to all the Sox games when they come down here

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 11:19 PM) My only gripe with any of these titles these days is that no one gets a serious run anymore. When the world title changes hands 16 times in the last two years, it tends to decrease the importance in my eyes. absolutely Im not a fan of that either
