QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) With nothing on tv, I still had mania on the DVr so went through and watched a couple of things again. While watching on Sunday with my buddy we talked the whole time and didn't give it our definitive attention. Going thru, the show was not as bad as I made it out to be. Cody and Rey I thought was good and trips and taker was fun with the false finishes. Do wish they gave punk and Orton more time though. Hope they do not do hhh and taker again next year though. Read that Morrison and Stratus didn't get along very well. Im glad you went back and re-watched it, I thought the Cody/Rey match was a really good one.. Taker/HHH I also really enjoyed.. it wasn't just a spot fest and it was more-so them telling a story in there about how brutal it is to try and take out the Undertaker.. My favorite part was Trips grabbing the equalizer and then not having enough left in him to use it when he was in Hells Gate.. I thought it was a fitting end even though I wasn't too thrilled with a tap out finish

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 08:31 PM) Lillibridge sucks. Elijah Dukes is/was an embarrassment to the game. You're right, they're very different things. I think J4L was just trying to find an exceptionally strong way of expressing his disdain for Lillibridge, in the absolutist way we're all so fond of. Yeah, I should have realized that from the beginning.. I think this went a little too literal than it needed to

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) Give me a break, TRU. U know damn well I don't really think I could get to the big leagues. That part was me joking. But Lillibridge being awful is not a joke. Yes I know you were joking, and that's fine to say that Lillibridge is awful.. but hes not terrible at baseball, no one in the MLB is terrible at baseball otherwise they wouldn't be there.. Is his performance not on par with the better players in the league, absolutely I cant argue that.. but you are saying hes an embarrassment to the game and stuff like that.. Its not the same as just saying someone is a crappy player

The flaw in the logic of he would never have even made it to the majors is that there have been plenty of people who have taken steroids, got caught, and still were either never good in the majors or never made it.. Steroids aren't a magic drug that turn you into an all star

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 12:19 PM) +1 The logic here is that since someone like say, Luis Terrero, is better than me he is absolved from sucking at the MLB level. Thats actually not the logic at all, I was just saying that because J4L made it seem like he could go out there right now and do the exact same thing as Lillibridge, which is ridiculous.. There is a difference between criticizing a player and saying a player is an embarrassment to the game, gimme a break..

um, just to throw this out there but MLB Extra Innings has nothing to do with DirectTV I have comcast/xfinity and have MLB Extra Innings

Does anyone else love when a bunch of nobodies try to say that someone in the MLB is "terrible" at baseball.. Seriously J4L, STFU, Brent Lillibridge would look like Albert Pujols compared to you.. Theres nothing wrong with having a player who can play up to 6 positions on the field and has solid speed to be the 25th man on your roster.. He is what he is, a guy who is gonna pinch run late or be a defensive replacement in the OF late in the game.. At least we can count on him to not walk after a ball he misplayed or to just have it bounce off his glove completely.. At least he is busting his ass, at least he can get a bunt down, at least he can be trusted to catch a routine pop fly.. Do I wish we had a bench that was full of .300 hitters? You bet your tits.. but no one does..

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:37 PM) I don't know how you can call him awful. Will Ohman's been awful. You don't judge a player by 3 appearances, especially when there were two errors made behind him in the only blowup he's had so far. For Thornton, hes been awful.. Its hard not to judge Throntons performance in the closers role this early when we are all use to him coming in and being nails.. thats why its easier to judge this, clearly, something is off with him in this new role

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:38 PM) I'll take it you didn't watch either of the blown saves so far. And you would be wrong

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:35 PM) Yes but the game should have been over by than, would have been quite the easy inning if Alexei and Juan make plays that they usually can make with their eyes closed. When you make the guy throw a bunch of extra pitches because you make 2 errors behind him, sometimes that s*** is going to happen. And unfortunately the game wasn't over by then, and Matt still couldn't get the job done.. We cant afford to let this happen 3-4 more times this month before we realize, yikes, this isn't working!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:32 PM) He gave up 4. Two of them were after the errors. He had a 95 MPH fastball today. All of you just need to relax for crying out loud. No I don't need to relax, hes been awful everytime hes come out so far this season.. he was perfect where he was, we have two hard throwers with pretty good stuff in Sale and Santos.. I don't see any reason why Sale shouldn't have been the closer so Matt could have stayed in the role that he was dominant in..

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) Did we seriously commit two errors with one out? I don't know how you can blame this on Thornton when that happens. lmao, he still gave up 5 hits anyways Yes, the errors were unfortunate.. but Thornton has been terrible as the closer thus far, there is no possible defense for that

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) I was calling for Sale too, but I can't even get mad about this one on Matt. He has looked like crap so far though I'll agree with, but it's still early on the season. I don't even think he's hit 96+ once yet either that I can recall. Nah I've seen him hit 97 a few times but my god, he's been awful..

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) How is this game on Thornton? Yeah, he gave up a bomb, but after the 2 errors had sabotaged the game. Man let it go, he's been awful in the role so far.. Sale should have been the closer, there was no reason to mess with a good thing..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:11 PM) You realize there have been two errors, right? You realize I dont give a s***? He hasn't looked good at all so far, not just this game

I've seen about enough of Thornton in the closets role

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) Yea for real, at least wait a couple years. haha man that was hilarious

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 12:05 AM) I am shocked, SHOCKED by the early reviews on these 2 movies: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/your_highness/ http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/arthur_2011/ Well I just got back from Your Highness and it was funny, it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be but I did laugh a lot during it.. I don't see why someone else wouldn't think that its funny based on the comedy that's going on it it.. Arthur on the other hand, looks terrible.. but then again, I don't care for Russel Brand

Dan Hudson sucks

QUOTE (peanut33tillman @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) Couldve been that, but I live in Texas and saw a good sample of his games with the Rangers last year, just kind of a scrappy hitter. drop the S off scrappy and ide agree with you

Speaking of Mania 28, how would you guys feel if the card turned out something like Rock vs Cena Miz vs Austin Undertaker vs Goldberg/Lesnar I could see WWE trying to make Undertakers last hurrah something grand.. Say they entice Goldberg or Lesnar to come back for one more match with the premise that its the last time someone has a chance to take out the streak? Ide think a Goldberg/Lesnar opponent would be a huge draw.. And then of coarse with Rock/Cena already set, that's going to be big enough right there.. If you can get Austin to sign on too for one more go, man, that would be a gigantic draw.. what if they can convince Sting this time around to try his hand at doing something no one has been able to do before?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) Main Event has already been set for Wrestlemania 28 Im thinking that Vince was creeping on the Soxtalk boards and set this up to keep Brian and Critic around for another year.. thats just my guess

QUOTE (IChaseBlackWood @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 11:17 AM) You're definitely going to be watching him in Birmingham ....hopefully he blows your freaking mind!! Hahahaha he blows alright

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) good stuff

Oh, and Trips entrance last night was f***in awesome.. I got pumped up by it
