    The time travel must really take a toll on the data transfer, too. Posting all of your links from way back there in 2005 must be very difficult. Maybe you should try Internet Explorer. Assuming, of course, the better browser speed doesn't interfere with your downloads from Kazaa

    I cannot participate again in the raiding or pillaging of villages or the theft of livestock, the United Nations Resolution and the statement from The Hague were very clear.

    Cap'n Crunch is in fact the correct answer. Since you issued the challenge, the choice of weapons is mine, the choice of arena yours. I choose knives, fixed blades.

    I hope you mean the best Cheerios, and not the best cereal overall. Otherwise, we're going to have to fight.

    HOF! HOF! HOF! Woooooo Rich Hill!

    7IP, 1H, 10K? Holy crap, where the hell has this Rich Hill been all year?!

    Coopersville?

    That might be the new MLB record for the shortest combined height in back-to-back home runs.

    It was a thing of beauty, like a waterfall or a coral reef, or the shootout scene in Django Unchained.

    Tie game in the top of the 11th and the Yankees walk in a run. Then, just to be hilarious, they walk in two more. Oh, and there was an RBI single, but that's not nearly as awesome. Toronto can really twist the knife with a win in the second game. I think the Yankees should start planning who is going to start the WC game.

    Tie game coming up

    Damn, I was just going to say this, luckily I hit refresh before posting. I think Wakefield could be up there too, he was the AS in 2009 or 2010 I think, not one of his best years, but the crop was thin.

    Making this now because I'm not sure I'll be home to do it when the game starts. Go Red Sox! Make September 11th a day no one will forget!

    That's not true, the Yankees had late leads in games 4 and 5 of the 2004 ALCS, and they were already up 3-0, and they still...oh, wait.

    Ortiz is closing on 500 with no drama. He's not going to be stuck at 499 with two or three games left, he's just hitting like he doesn't know about the record. That's class.

    I know some people hate the apathy. Personally, I am ambivalent about the antipathy for apathy

    This "no gamethread until after the game starts" s*** needs to stop.

    mvp, to whom it was directed, seemed not to get it either. Indulge me, and explain what he meant?
  19. Youk Of The Nation
    What does this even...what...I....Thunder, usually you're a bright kid, but I have no idea what you were going for here.

    I like being on an island with my opinions as well, as long as my island is heavily fortified and stocked with an arsenal capable of obliterating the islands of others.

    And again, I think what some people are missing is that "Front Office" is a very broad term. There is not a lot of overlap between people who manage the games and players and people who make decisions about media employees. I doubt Cherington/Dombrowski or anyone on their staff had anything to do with this decision.
  22. Youk Of The Nation
    No. Not because of draft reasons, but because intentionally losing games is a terrible, terrible idea regardless of the intent behind it. Though I have to say, knowing that yesterday's win helped the Yankees does suck.
  23. Youk Of The Nation
    Yes, and what else has come of it? Less than twenty novels, a few made-for-TV movies, and that's it. No new material, no large dedicated conventions, and a fraction of the fanbase of Trek, Star Wars, BSG, or SG. It's in Andromeda territory. Plus, under threat of cancellation, they scrapped a lot of good plotlines, and as a result season 4 was very low-quality compared to the rest. The rogue telepath colony storyline was supposed to wrap up after three or four episodes and instead went three-quarters of the season. More Lyta Alexander is not what that show needed.
  24. Youk Of The Nation
    I always knew there was a reason I didn't like you.
  25. Youk Of The Nation
    Using Star Trek isn't a good example, because the cancellation led to the fans gathering together, which led to conventions, which eventually led to the creation and release of the Motion Picture, which revitalized the franchise and ended up launching the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, and, unfortunately, Voyager. Not that cancelling it didn't suck, but had it been allowed to die a natural death it probably would have fizzled after five seasons and we wouldn't have the world-spanning media franchise it is today. No movies, no video games, no online games, not many books or comics, and less merchandise. Obviously this isn't the same situation, but I really believe the end of Orsillo's employment with the team will be little more than a footnote or a blip in another ten years. "Remember Orsillo? Yeah, that guy was pretty cool, him and Remy were a lot of fun"
