    While not a shooter, Assassin's Creed is a pretty good game for the $15 you'd pay for a used copy. I've also seen Metal Gear Solid 4 for around $25 used lately. Warhawk is pretty awesome, but you'd need internet to play.

    Proof that roid rage is real.

    The U.S. needs to make sure their rotation is Maddux, Kenny Rogers, and Mike Mussina as soon as they adopt the "pitcher's hand" rule.

    I play Wii and PS3 (with Guitar Hero) on my Panasonic Plasma and have never had a lag issue.

    The international draft seems like such a no brainer that I don't understand why it hasn't happened yet. I believe the current agreement even has a provision to implement one. An international draft would be made difficult by the purchasing of players from foreign teams, such as Matsuzaka. Those foreign teams won't just give their players away when they've always collected a posting fee. My proposal for an easier system is to take the amount paid for each undrafted foreign player and use that in a formula that would forfeit draft picks accordingly. So, it your total investment in a Japanese player is over $X, you forfeit your 1st rounder in the next draft, over $Y but less than $X, your second, and so on, but marginal players signed to a small amount don't cost picks (e.g. maybe we only go through 5th rounder forfeiture). Basically, it's like FA compensation except nobody gets your pick, no picks are protected, and the ranking is based on contract size rather than Elias.

    every new release I want to see (Wanted Don't waste your time on this one, unless you're mystified by two hours of a "curving bullets" gimmick. Just re-watch The Matrix instead. Blockbuster total access has been pretty crappy on their availability lately. Might have something to do with splitting inventory between DVD and BluRay, but I've switched a few of my long wait BluRay movies back to standard DVD and it doesn't seem to speed things up.

    I actually took that twist off query to Google recently, after having gone on a business trip, returning to my hotel with beers, and realizing they were pry off and my bottle opener keychain was with the valet. I was finally able to open the beer with a snus tin, but not without cutting my finger in the process of opening my 3rd quart of Carta Blanca. It appears that pry-offs are largely based on superstition and "image". Link

    But if you were naming your kid after a British glam rock band, Slade would be ok. Here was Slade's pitch to teams: I believe in Brian, my oh my I believe in Brian', my oh my Don't a GM need this man, try and sign him if you can I believe in Brian, my oh my We all need someone to K lefties my oh my We all need someone to K lefties my oh my Ya need a veteran LOOGY, call me I'll be standing by We all need someone to K lefties my oh my

    I'd think any high quality vinyl decal would hold up just fine in a urinal. I've seen bands (ironically) put their logo decal in bar urinals and they've been there for a few years.

    just sounds better to me than "Bob and Cory." I don't trust anyone named Cory. Seriously, I mean no offense to members named Cory, but I am more prejudiced against people named Cory than any other way you could categorize people, even "Cubs fan". I wonder if they tried to get Pat Hughes back? Hughes is awesome, I loved listening to him growing up. One of the eeriest moments of my childhood was meeting Pat Hughes, who I had never seen a picture of, but had listened to about 75 times a year. That voice had ALWAYS come from a speaker, then suddenly it's coming from a man 3 feet away, and it seemed like that man had swallowed my radio.

    The first thing I'd check is the filter/screen at the faucet nozzle; might be a case of sediment/rust/etc clogging things up right there at the tip of the faucet. Usually only takes about five second to unscrew something there at the tip and get the screen out of the way and check it out. Test the water pressure sans screen to eliminate that variable. I had this happen constantly in my old apartment because they'd shut the water off to fix things every few weeks and the aperture would get plugged when it turned back on. Hopefully this is the case for Toby, as a rag and pliers can do the job in under a minute.

    Mulder is fine if you sign him to a deal similar to what we gave Jeff Weaver, but it'd have to pay him crap if he doesn't pitch in the bigs for me to be on board.

    I've boiled a big huge pot of water and dumped it in, pouring in a little bleach with it while it's still pooled up in the sink. That's done the trick for me, but my sink wasn't super nasty.

    Jim Powell taught me how to love a woman - and how to scold a child.

    There is a baseline of driving skills needed to pass a driver's test. While sober, some have skills that well exceed the baseline, while others (elderly and blonds) barely pass that baseline. Additionally, tolerance, be it due to opponent processes and practice, or just genes, plays a big role. Some people get the spins and puke after 4 beers while other people the same size can still hit 3 straight triple-20's on the dart board. My boss told me he once drank 3 drinks in an hour and a half and wound up puking and passing out. Obviously, he should not even be driving at .02.

    He gave this team almost the same amount of innings that Suppan did, and won less games. So what? My girlfriend could give the team 200 IP of 60.00 ERA eephus wizardry. I'm sure you have a coworker who sucks at their job but is there as often as you are, would you argue that they're just as valuable as you to the company.

    I agree with Adam Corolla's "heavyweight license" idea. In a perfect world with unlimited resources, if you wanna drive with alcohol in your system, you go to a testing center and drink while driving until you can no longer pass the test. That's your BAC limit. For some people, .02 is DUI while it's .15 for others.

    Not really anything new, but the local news in DFW just discussed continued interest in Sheets by the Rangers, but noted that they have serious "disagreements about his value". Perhaps Sheets not signing anywhere yet is a result of unrealistic expectations more than recent injury history.

    The Brewers caught lightning in a bottle with Kapler in 2008, but thinking he'll repeat it is likely wishful thinking. Exactly. A replication of 2008 for a million bucks would be a definite bargain, but he's dead weight if he instead replicates one of his previous 3 MLB seasons. We could always slap Hall in CF in a pinch (yeah, I know he was already moved back to infield, but you'd think he'd at least prefer more playing time).

    If Hardy is locked up long term would he really care if was moved off of SS to play 3B? I assume one of the reasons he doesn't want to move is the money will be better as a SS with a decent stick. If I were in his shoes, I'd be all for being paid to do a very hard job when I do an easier one (assuming he transitions well). Of course, he'd still be fairly young when the deal ends, and would thus risk a smaller payday then. Even if he signed a 6 year extension, he'd still only be 32 and could land another nice deal.

    If nothing else, take the Doug Melvin approach on the Subaru. Go in and say you have no interest it in, but just want to check what the lowest they'd possibly accept is. Maybe it's a good enough deal that it wouldn't make sense to delay making a move on a new car. You NEVER want to get in a situation where you need to buy a car desperately. Just keep floating low- balls and wait for someone to bite.
  22. mothershipconnection
    Taking on Young would be an atrocious move, IMO. $80MM for five years of a guy who'll be 37 a the end of the deal has got to get you a stud player, not Michael Young. If we take on salary to round out the infield, we'd be way better off taking on Adrian Beltre for one year.
  23. mothershipconnection
    I am kind of baffled at the exuberance by fans regarding next years team. The pitching staff is an all out mess imo As has been discussed plenty of times, though, the rotation will be different than the one in place before the CC trade in just 2 ways: -Sheets, +Gallardo. If Parra doesn't wear down, that's pretty respectable.

    "Mental aspects" don't mean anything, it's all behavior, just like swinging a bat. This can all be aggregated as "performance". Inferring hypothetical constructs based on observed overt behavior isn't going to get us anywhere. It matters little whether it's a lack of the eye of the tiger, or just poor coordination: poor performance is poor performance. Even if we can identify the eye of the tiger, we still wouldn't be able to conclude whether it guides performance, or if it's a result of performance.

    Yeah, you're cool if you do them in February. Try to get it in as soon as possible, though. You may have a better shot at grants and whatnot if you get in line early.
