Man do people love to b**** just to b****. Atleast opening day is around the corner albeit the weather does not make it bode well.

Kepptaculous!

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 19, 2013 -> 11:08 AM) Would the Cubs REALLY want to move to land immediately adjacent to O'Hare? Plane noise all day long. That being said, it's a nice location. PLENTY of space for actual parking lots. Easy expressway access. Hotels and Restaurants in the area, within walking distance. It also moves the Cubs to a more centralized location that is more easily accessible to fans in the suburbs. There's a lot of fan base in the expanding NW and western burbs, but getting to games is a limiting factor. I'd go to more Sox games, but I HATE driving from Hoffman Estates all the way to the south side. Take the metra you weenie.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 12:20 PM) One HR in a WBC game will have zero affect on the Sox season, unless Rios hurt himself during the swing or home run trot. True but we know that Rios has a Jekyll and Hyde personality.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 11:49 AM) He had a bad WBC up until last night. I'm just glad he took a couple good swings last night. Hopefully he's good enough to be the 3-hitter all year. I saw the HR; it was a hung curve ball. Not to take away from Rios but any major leaguer would have crushed that. Japan played pretty bad and PR played pretty flawless. That's baseball.

Hopefully he didn't blow his load for the season.

US goes down. Japan beats the SF giants in a friendly.

I just saw that video of the brawl. That s*** was the epitome of funny.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 13, 2013 -> 02:04 PM) I'm expecting Dubya to pop out onto the balcony with a sixer and say "fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice...umm, we can't get fooled again!" lmao

This might be the best US team yet. I have a feeling it's going to come down to the US versus Japan. Those Japanese bats are hot right now. They are slapping HRs like it's going out of style.

I didn't see a thread for this... if this thread was created in error a mod will clean up the mess.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 12, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) Ive never seen Dexter, so I cant comment. Means, They try and write that away by saying that he got the military specialist who hacked the prison server. That being said, it didnt make much sense what they did to the guy at the end of the episode. I personally am starting to think it's a little over the top crazy. They really hyped this show up a lot and I just can't see how they are going to keep going on with this. They dumped the Chicago Code after one season and I actually thought that show was decent esque.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 01:00 PM) Which is why NK will never actually do it. This. Because even that fat korean Jabba the hut follows the basic survial instinct. He's no jihadist. He wants to live.

Pure saber rattling. The minute a N.Korea boot steps on S.Korea soil. It's on like donkey kong.

Can I get a hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll yessssh!

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:17 PM) Well do you work for the government pettie? If so, get a real job. If you work in the real world the market has dictated your value. If you dont like it that's fine, but it doesn't change the reality. Maybe someone else will value your labor more? You're free to look around. Its not super complicated, liberals just like making it that way so they can confuse and trick people into paying more taxes. For the record, I wasn't talking about anyone paying more taxes. I simply want my damn raise I work hard for. Why else do we bust are asses at work. To make sure we keeping getting a paycheck and more money.

Second, how did you come to the conclusion that I worked for the government when I threw around words like management gets bonuses? I know I'm well underpaid but the reason why these assholes can get away with it because of the recession. Noone would dare b**** about their salary because there is some sap ready to take your place. I'm just holding the line until the next best opportunity comes. That's why people don't stick around their jobs anymore, you're just a damn number to them and they are just a stepping stone for me. Duke your biggest problem is that you are the epitome of egocentric. You believe that just because you did something that everyone else can. That's the biggest amount of malarky I've ever heard. Not everyone is "you". That's why you get berated from your over the top hyperbolic posts. You can get your points across without being so damned snarky. Try it sometime and people might just start taking your posts at face value.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:14 PM) People will figure it out. I was well below the poverty line for 18 months of my life and after realizing how much I hated that existence I decided I would stop being poor. Suffering makes people stronger, being poor makes you want to be rich... pretty simple stuff. Toughen em up a little, make them sweat it out for a year or so and they'll get awfully creative in finding new ways of making money. That was the most anti climatic response ever. That is not the Duke Nukem I know.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:09 PM) A physical impossibility, the phrase originally was used to describe impossible actions. Semantics.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) What's your plan when you lose your jobs? Simple, they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
