Hey Kim...just got an email. Wainwright and Molina win Gold Gloves. nm - Jim Nov 11, 12:50 3
- Yeah, I saw that a little while ago. - Callisto Nov 11, 12:51 2
  - I just listened to this on the radio. Wainwright says "it's nice to be the fallback choice with Greg Maddux gone". - David Nov 11, 12:52 1

Ken Griffey Jr. signs a one-year deal with Seattle. -- nm - David Nov 11, 12:46 5
- Talk about people in need of a mercy killing. - Will Hunting Nov 11, 12:47 4
  - He wants to end his career in Seattle, I applaud this -- nm - MDH Nov 11, 12:51 2
    - And he coulda by retiring now. He hit .215 last season for them. - Will Hunting Nov 11, 12:55
    - Which is fine, but after last year it's obvious his career should already be over. -- nm - Inigo Nov 11, 12:53
  - He's just there to sell tickets at this point. -- nm - David Nov 11, 12:50
Dollhouse cancelled. -- (link) - Callisto Nov 11, 12:46 18
- the second 13 is all I expected to get out of it. I've been prepared for this for awhile. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 12:50 3
  - I would imagine the happiest people in the world right now work at Dark Horse Comics. -- nm - David Nov 11, 12:51 2
    - I think it has a lot more potential as a comic than as a tv series. -- nm - Callisto Nov 11, 12:53
    - You could get two series out of it, current timeline and Epitaph One. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 12:52
- David blames Topher -- nm - prayformojo Nov 11, 12:49 1
  - I really do. -- nm - David Nov 11, 12:50
- *sobbing* -- nm - nubby Nov 11, 12:48
- Dumbasses...they should have cancelled it last year and kept the Chronicles. -- nm - Jim Nov 11, 12:47 9
  - I was just thinking to myself whether Terminator had better ratings. -- nm - David Nov 11, 12:50 5
    - it did, but not by much. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 12:53 2
      - cost of the show had to be skyhigh though. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 12:56 1
        
        That's the reason it got canceled. Warner Bros. (or the production house, I forget which) was splitting the bill on the tv show. - David Nov 11, 12:59
    - I don't know if it did or not...but I really liked it. -- nm - Jim Nov 11, 12:51 1
      - The last ep of TSCC got 3.6 million viewers. The last Dollhouse of 2008 got 2.75 million. - David Nov 11, 12:55
  - I tend to agree. Whedon should have dumped the Topher character and made more episodes like the last 5 of S1. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 12:49 2
    - Topher sucked, but he really wasn't the only problem. - Callisto Nov 11, 12:50 1
      - I totally agree. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 12:55
- unshocking, and not as upsetting as i once thought this news might be. -- nm - TFox Nov 11, 12:47

groiny I think she would be fine if she wants to play with us, just don't put her on headset. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 12:32 13
- Seriously, guys! The game is rated MA! -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 12:37 9
  - It's not Call of Duty. There's no blood (at least I don't recall seeing any). You're shooting aliens. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 12:42 6
    - but it is of course up to every parent to decide for thier own kids. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 12:42 5
      - hence, why I asked. She watches me play it. - groiny Nov 11, 12:43 4
        
        I think doing campaign with the old man (not Crash) would be fine. but that's just me. I would not recommend Resident Evil or anything like that. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 12:46
        
        think of all the other eight year olds playing it ... - Beryllium Nov 11, 12:45 2
        
        you know a little girl squeeling with delight in killing any of us would be totally demoralizing. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 12:48 1
        
        We already play with David. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 11, 12:51
  - go to the doctor! -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 12:39
  - yes, for violence. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 11, 12:37
- that is a given. - groiny Nov 11, 12:36
- "Daddy, what does 'Remlik is an ass fuck' mean?" -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 12:33 1
  - "Wait, nevermind... I just hadn't seen him play long enough. He totally *is* an assfuck." -- nm - TFox Nov 11, 12:40

Alright, let's say Halladay and Gonzalez are both traded. Which nets the bigger haul? - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 11, 12:30 26
- Halladay should be just becuase of scarcity. - Will Hunting Nov 11, 12:48 9
  - To both of you, do you think the O's give Brandon Snyder a chance to be first baseman in spring training? - Inigo Nov 11, 12:52 7
    - I think it's a possibility, but they'd prefer to wait a year. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 11, 13:00
    - I dunno. I thought his slot was going to be 3B..... -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 11, 12:55 5
      - Waring was 3B. Although, I think he's gonna go 1B too. - Inigo Nov 11, 12:58 4
        
        Until you get someone quality to take our confederate money, I think he should get a chance at 1b then. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 11, 13:01 3
        
        One problem is that there isn't much quality available at 1B this year. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 11, 13:06 2
        
        Conor Jackson just got waived. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 11, 13:06 1
        
        DBacks gave up on him? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 11, 13:11
  - Exactly. A hand down/lights out Ace is something every team wishes they could have. -- nm - Jim Nov 11, 12:49
- [deleted] 3
  - no he's not. 2 years of Adrian for $10.25M total, vs 1 year of Roy for $15.75M. It's not even close. Adrian in a walk. -- nm - TFox Nov 11, 12:38 2
    - I also think more teams can bid for Gonzalez. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 11, 12:40 1
      - correct. -- nm - TFox Nov 11, 12:41
- Personally, I'd pay more for Adrian. In reality, who knows. -- nm - TFox Nov 11, 12:35
- Halladay, no doubt in my mind. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 11, 12:30 10
  - Word...you can get a bat anywhere...but an ace SP...notsomuch. -- nm - Jim Nov 11, 12:33 9
    - A bat, yes. An Adrian Gonzalez, no. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 11, 12:47 8
      - When Gonzalez equals Pujols or Fielder...I might change my opinion. -- nm - Jim Nov 11, 12:52 4
        
        I'd say he's on par with Fielder now. Pujols, of course not. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 11, 12:53 3
        
        Fielder is ahead of him IMO. - groiny Nov 11, 12:58 2
        
        Gonzales also hits in that huge park....give him a normal stadium (not even philly) and I think he's a .285/45 guy. - Will Hunting Nov 11, 13:05 1
        
        he is a better fielder. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 11, 13:07
      - He is not Pujols, let's not get carried away. - groiny Nov 11, 12:52 1
        
        No, but I want to know how far down the list to go. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 11, 13:11
      - The Red Sox need Adrian so much more than Halladay, it's silly. Install him at 1B and slide Youk over, and I'd repaint my house white instantly. -- nm - TFox Nov 11, 12:49
Mop, I know it is rated MA, but I think it is realy pushing that rating. - groiny Nov 11, 12:30 3
- As long as the kid doesn't have the code that unlocks the Cortana sex scene, he should be fine. - Dr.Vermin Nov 11, 12:32 2
  - i wonder how much Cortana fanfic there is out there, but I am scared to look. - tRuMaN Nov 11, 12:35
  - wasn't that Leisure Suit Larry 6 ? - lone canadian jays fan Nov 11, 12:34

      - everyone is VERY happy in that commercial -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 11, 12:41 1
        
        Can you blame them? It was the Reagan Era. -- nm - Dr. Vermin SI Nov 11, 12:43
  - It was one of their best sandwiches, but I had forgotten the name - con_carne Nov 11, 12:34 1
    - Could be. As kilbo says below, the Big-n-Tasty is as close as it comes now. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 11, 12:35
  - did it have those potato puff buns ? -- nm - lone canadian jays fan Nov 11, 12:33 1
    - no, but groiny does -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 12:33
  - Keeps the hot side hot and the cold side cold -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 12:32 1
    - congrats to Roger Corman!! - peglegpete Nov 11, 13:13
- Big-n-Tasty -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 12:30
- (yeah you know me) -- nm - nubby Nov 11, 12:29
Cardboard, no. Delicious, yes. -- nm - con_carne Nov 11, 12:27 1
- I really love those ads. - nubby Nov 11, 12:29
