- I liked him as a player, not a fan of him as a manager. I would like to bring Ozzie back. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:28 4
  - Yeah, he seems to still be in over his head during games. I was never a fan of the hiring though so I'm willing to admit I may be biased. - spamlet Apr 21, 10:40 3
    - Ozzie and Kenny have buried the hatchet, they hugged it out. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:44 2
      - You don't set up an employer to force them to fire you and then get a second chance. - iSpam Apr 21, 10:54 1

- History is repeating itself, eh, Spock? -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:07 52
  - Pitting SW vs. ST never really made sense to me. One has insanely wider appeal, no? And different demos -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 10:31 3
    - Spock is Reagen's nickname. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:51 2
      - Looked like you were taunting Remlik! -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 10:55 1
        
        In your defense, I haven't called him that since...Monday. -- nm - David Apr 21, 11:04
  - My favourite thing I've ever written is still that SW III preview. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 10:15 2
    - What was the joke one we did? I was trying to remember that the other night. - David Apr 21, 10:19 1
      - I vaguely recall that - something about the people you'd see in line? -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 10:33
  - I'm just impressed that despite the last trilogy breaking no records, and being garbage, we're going through this again...when the real 800lb gorilla - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:14 43
    - I think you miss that *this* movie has what many people really want from SW: The original cast - TWuG Apr 21, 10:21 8
      - what I took from the trailer, is that it just looks more like the original movies, and less like the prequels. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:21 7
        
        I'll be honest, the first teaser with the Falcon was a YES!...the 2nd was completely limp - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:33 5
        
        And damn, will somebody get that black stormtrooper his inhaler! -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 10:37 1

        That shot actually looked like what we saw in ID4 with the crashed spaceship in the Nevada desert. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:37
        
        Yes. Which is why I want to see it. -- nm - TWuG Apr 21, 10:23
    - Different animals. - Ultron Apr 21, 10:16 33
      - You're remembering it wrong. EVERYBODY was dialed up about the prequels. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:18 29
        
        My favourite memory about The Phantom Menace was making about $10 million by shorting it opening weekend. -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 10:33
        
        As I said, my mother skipped them. And she saw the trilogy movies a minimum of three times each in the theater with me. - Ultron Apr 21, 10:21 1
        
        flip side: my mom didn't particularly care about the original trilogy, but she saw episode 1 on opening day. -- nm - mafic Apr 21, 10:23

        People spent years after Phantom Menace convincing themselves it was good. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:45 5
        
        Yes, we know you think this. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 21, 10:49 1
        
        I remember the threads. - David Apr 21, 10:52
        
        i walked out at the end and said 'well, that was horrible" and haven't seen one since. but i will see the new ones. -- nm - Andie Apr 21, 10:48 1
        
        the 2nd prequel sucks. But I did like the 3rd one. especially the 3rd act. -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 11:03
        
        The bummer for us Star Wars geeks is that there was a good movie in there...and some very poor decisions deprived us of it. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 10:46
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        The issue that I have with JJ is... - Roger More Apr 21, 10:42 3

        There's a lot about M:I 3 to like but - spoils - Roger More Apr 21, 10:51 1
        
        You lie. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:52
        
        I saw what he did with Star Trek so I am hopeful. - Mel Profit Apr 21, 10:31 6
        
        And I will never back down from my opinion that the pod racing scene was still absolutely stellar and almost made up for Jar Jar. nm -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 10:35 5
        
        that and Darth Maul and The Saga Begins by Weird Al -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 11:17
        
        that was a great segment -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 11:09
        
        Probably because it was conceived for the first Star Wars movie. -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 10:47
        
        except for that annoying Jewish alien. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:36 1

        I would actually not go that far. We hoped he could capture the feeling again. We wanted to believe. - Ultron Apr 21, 10:31
        
        and Kathleen Kennedy and Lawernce Kasdan. -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 10:23
        
        That is true. But that reaction was not by everyone on the planet. - Ultron Apr 21, 10:22 3
        
        Delusional -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:44 2
        
        Now, tell us to get off of your lawn. -- nm - Ultron Apr 21, 10:56 1
        
        How is your misremembering to feel better about something in any way about me? -- nm - David Apr 21, 11:04
      - I know many more people with kids who saw the prequels who can't wait for Episode 7 -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 10:18 2
        
        Those poor kids. Call CPS on them. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:31
        
        Meet more people -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 21, 10:21
  - shit let the Star Wars nerds have their year...wait till Star Trek 3 and the 50th Anniversary. -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 10:09
and this is why you don't turn your back on home plate. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 21, 09:55 24
- is there no net there? -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:00 13
  - There is but she was inside the 'give' of the net. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:03 12
    - that tells me that they need to extend that brick barrier to allow for more room. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:06 11
      - Yeah, it's unfortunate becuase that's probably a one in a million shot. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:10 10
        
        Final Destination: 7th Inning Stretch -- nm - JaxSean Apr 21, 10:35
        
        she is lucky, 2 inches to the left, and she is dead. - groiny Apr 21, 10:12 8
        
        Have a brain though, seriously. That's just idiotic on her and the usher's part. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 10:13 7
        
        They played the odds. - Ultron Apr 21, 10:14
        
        not really, if they see a net there, I would not think twice about it. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:14 5
        
        I would still. Plus she wasn't even paying attention. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 10:15 4
        
        Because of the net. -- nm - Ultron Apr 21, 10:16 3
        
        That she was apparently completely leaning against. Mayb eI have a different mindset here to simply not put myself in losing scenarios. - Shaun Apr 21, 10:18 1
        
        I don't think she was leaning against it...she looked hunched over to squeeze through. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:39
        
        if the net is there, alot of people just figure they are safe there. - groiny Apr 21, 10:17

  - Your IM was the first thing I taught my daughter about seeing games at a stadium. You wait until in between plays to sit down or stand up. - spamlet Apr 21, 10:03
