Definitely more entertaining than the Sox the last few games.

I heard this news on the way home last night. I plan on watching the Married With Children episode "All Night Security Dude" as a tribute. RIP Spare Tire Dixon.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) I am all in favor of good roster moves and De Aza is worth a shot, but Alejandro has one hit mind you since his recall. Of course it was a 2 run game winning homer, but still it is the only hit he has gotten Which is only 1 less than Rios has gotten in the same time frame. Although Rios has 1 less RBI in that same time frame.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 09:32 AM) Cheap Tablet. Anybody own one? I was going to buy my daughter a portable dvd player for the car. The kind that just attach to the head rest. I figure instead of spending 100 - 125 on that, maybe I can get a cheap tablet that she can have some interaction with, as well as watch movies. I certainly don't want a 200-400 tablet for a kid, but if I can get one for 150 or less, it's close to what it would cost for a dvd player and there's more she can do with it. Is it feasible to watch movies on a tablet? Is the battery life decent? Anybody have any ideas? I didn't think portable DVD players cost that much. I thought they were closer to $50. I just got one a few years ago with a carrying case for $30 on Black Friday.

Mitchell was always my favorite.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 07:43 PM) The nights after hot days are so damn nice. This is why I would take this over any other season. Lately though it hasn't really been cooling off at night. Last weekend I was outside sitting in a chair at 10 PM and still sweating. But I love sleeping under a fan or in air conditioning.

My daughter's softball team went completely undefeated the entire year! They just won their last game of the end of the year tournament last night! It was a nail-biter that they had to pull off with 2 outs in the bottom of the 5th (they only play 5 innings) but they managed it.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) False, bunting is not really swinging the bat. Plus, a pitch could still hit the bat without the batter swinging it. It can hit off the handle b the hands and go in fair play, or do an even crazier off the barrel of the bat as the player ducks from a pitch at them. I've seen it happen. Now we are arguing the semantics of a figure of speech.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 10:57 AM) I'd bet this is wrong. Just has to bounce off the catcher's glove. Honestly, I was thinking that the drop-third strike rule only applied when the batter swung at the ball. I don't think I've ever seen in come into play when the batter didn't swing. My first sentence is still true though. You can't hit the ball unless you swing the bat.

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 08:35 AM) A strikeout is a strikeout. It is ignorant, hillbilly logic to prefer that a player "go down swingin' ". That same idiotic logic helped run Nick Swisher out of town. I'm pretty sure the chances of hitting the ball go way up when you swing at strike three rather than watching it go by. In fact, I'm guessing no player in the history of baseball has ever gotten on base by watching strike 3 go by without swinging at it.

IIRC, Wal-Mart just had a suit like this against them and it was thrown out.

Looking at his defensive stats, he's actually been a worse RF this year than Quentin.

I didn't think it looked like his follow-thru but I guess it is.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 11:08 AM) i forgot...you cant...his's site's broken...again Is that why you're here? Also, that's the worst misuse of apostrophes I've ever seen.

Thought this was interesting. Lesbian couple asked to remove offensive shirt at Dollywood. This seems like a complete 180 from the situation with Beckham.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 09:35 AM) Konerko especially. And I'll give the new poster a break since he didn't know I was kidding. I saw him type A.J. and was thinking "... the f*** is this?" He's not new. He just posts on (and stalks) a couple other sites more often.

I'm not sure. Remember that scene in A League of Their Own where Tom Hanks and Geena Davis are both standing on the dugout steps giving signals and the batter keeps dancing in and out of the batter's box? That's kinda how I feel.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 03:40 AM) Thats always awesome isn't it? mine was at 106 today, and that was all the way until the sun went down.. man i hate texas so much I know a lot of you are like "oh its better than snow all the time" but you would change that tune quickly when its still in the 90's into November, like it was last year down here.. Its hotter than two squirrels f***in in a tube sock I'd take it. There's nothing good about snow.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) IN the 21st century, who needs postal delivery? Not me. I have direct deposit but my physical check still comes through the mail. We still get a couple of bills via snail-mail and anyone that has a magazine subscription still needs it.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) The iPhone or the iPod touch doesn't work w/ the rice. I also had a friend who dropped his iPhone in the toilet, no dice. It's not a 100% sure solution for any phone. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We got a cheap flip-phone for one of my kids and she lost it in our backyard in the middle of winter. We found it when the snow finally melted. Took it in, dried it out and it's worked fine ever since.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 03:08 PM) Heh. You need to make that chart your sig. Might be too large but I'll see. I have it set so I can't see them anyway. EDIT: Done.

According to my "Too soon to complain" chart we are currently at "Wait until the trade deadline" excuse.

QUOTE (Special K @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 12:24 PM) Decent Dunn article... http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle...se-of-adam-dunn Many people keep saying that he has to come out of it eventually. I keep leaning more towards this. Obviously we've never seen such an extreme case but it appears that Dunn has lost his ability to hit and may never regain it.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 08:41 AM) Apparently they switch channels whenever our team is up to bat. Well at least they don't miss much.
