Subtitles = convenient
if you don’t know the language. Case in point: just watched Day Watch with subtitles. It’s a good movie in my opinion, but I wouldn’t have even gotten the gist of it if it wasn’t subtitled. Dubbed audio tends to mess with my mind when I know the sounds aren’t matching with the lips.
There are plenty of movies in english
Call me uncultured, but it it’s dubbed or has subtitles i pass.

Some very good movies are foreign. If you like horror movies there are some very good French horror movies lately. I love Chinese martial arts type movies; House of Flying Daggers, The Black Scorpion, Curse of the Golden Flower, etc.

Yanks just offered 3 years @ $45m
they also offered to install a trampoline at the short positon in year 3 to help him get airborne for jump throws.
Maybe they'll throw in moon boots or a pogo stick while they're at it?

way to go yankees. take the numbers down instead of up.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
ahahaha
[Jeter’s agent, Casey Close:] “There’s a reason the Yankees themselves have stated Derek Jeter is their modern-day Babe Ruth. Derek’s significance to the team is much more than just stats. And yet, the Yankees’ negotiating strategy remains baffling. They continue to argue their points in the press and refuse to acknowledge Derek’s total contribution to their franchise.”
In fact, there is nothing baffling about the Yankees’ strategy here, and nothing unusual in what they are saying either behind closed doors to him or under the cover of anonymity in the media. And Close, a high-powered agent, had better hope the Yankees don’t regard his superstar client as another Babe Ruth.
Perhaps Close doesn’t know the history, which is really his only excuse here, but in 1931, when Babe Ruth was 36 years old — the same age as Derek Jeter — he hit 46 home runs, had 163 RBIs and batted .373.
The Yankees rewarded him by cutting his salary from $80,000 to $75,000 for the 1932 season. That year, as a 37-year-old, Ruth’s numbers slipped — to 41 homers, 137 RBIs and a .341 batting average. So they cut him to $52,000 for 1933.
In 1933, the 38-year-old Ruth was clearly finished: a mere 34 homers, 103 RBIs, .301 batting average. Numbers, incidentally, that Jeter would have killed to have as a 24-year-old. (By the way, some would argue that Ruth’s contributions to the franchise might even have surpassed Jeter’s.)
…. When you consider that the best shortstop in baseball, 26-year-old Hanley Ramirez, is making just $11.6 million, it doesn’t sound as though Jeter is being mistreated that badly after all.
If nothing else, it could be a whole lot worse. The Yankees could treat Jeter the way Close seems to want them to.
They could treat him the way they treated Ruth.
Who’s got the popcorn? Pass it over here!
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
Wait, whou wouldn't argue that Ruth contributed more ot the Yankees then Jeter?
In his prime, Jeter was great, no doubt, and his going to the Hall, but with Ruth we’re talking about one of the greatest players ever, the all-time leader in WAR (possibly thanks to WWII, but that’s how it played it out). Oh, wait, Jeter has the musk of championships.

I SWEAR I picked Chicago for Thursday’s game, but CC pick ’em disagrees.
Lots of unanimous picks this week, so the standings are not likely to shift much. Only games with more than three people diverting from the majority are WAS/TEN, CLE/JAC, and TB/SF. Every other game has at least 9 out of 12 in agreement.

- WTF with your fans? they were booing your team in the second quarter with them down by 3
- we played you even or better for most of the day with EIGHT of our starters out by the end of the first quarter, including 4/5 of our O-line. yeah, yeah, I know you lost Vince Young midway through the third, but he was hardly effective in the first half anyway
…and that guy who ranted on the DC sports station last week can go fuck himself.

it has been a VERY long day for Titans fans...
the field: Zionist Conspiracy Theory???? I recognize it sucks, I don’t know what you want me to do about it.
those people at the field were booing because of the late hit, not because of the team’s performance. later though, they WERE booing the team and let me tell you, those aren’t accurate representations of the fans…
Vince was pretty effective, he had a 106 QB rating but that’s no excuse I know, the fact is that the team just isn’t playing as well as they were at the beginning of the season. I feel pretty confident that Vince could have directed Bironas into FG position there in OT, he changes the whole dynamic of the offense. Rusty Smith played like a 6th round pick from FAU was expected to play. but in case you’re interested
happy?

not necessary, but thoroughly appreciated.
I thought it was a pretty fun game to watch overall. very tense in the final moments.
WTF with FIsher? Is Smith his golden boy or something? Kid looked lost out there. Chris Johnson, however, is a force to e reckoned with. Even when everyone in the stadium knew he was going to run, he was breaking off 15-yard gains.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
here's the thing
Fisher has NEVER been high on Young. when he was drafted, you could tell there was gonna be turmoil. I don’t think he’s trying to ruin his career by taking him out of big moments then throwing the Rusty Smiths and Kerry Collins of the world out there, but every time he benches him/takes him out for “injury” that’s what it looks like. doesn’t matter though, Vince has basically punched his ticket out of Nashville after he blew up after the game today. that’s a good thing IMO, get him somewhere where the coach actually wants him, I like Vince a lot but today was just not acceptable behavior.

oh wow so you missed the freak out?
he had his helmet on and was warming up for OT when Fish sends Rusty back in. Rusty shits the bed and Vince went kind of nuts at the end. he stormed off the field and apprently threw some of his equipment into the stands and went all the way to the parking lot before Mike Griffin could corral him back in. Fisher then said the Vince was not the starter for next week “injury or not”. this season’s a fucking train-wreck.

all that said,
I agree that you guys are getting shafted in primetime games. I took a look this week. The culprit is NBC.
For MNF, the AFC South actually has more games than the NFC east.
But for the Sunday night games, the only AFC South team to appear is Indianapolis (3x), while the NFC east appears 11 times: 6 times in head-to-head games, and 5 times wehre the opponent is out of their division.
That would make me sick too.

an admission! while the Eagles/Giants game is a good one, Skins/Eagles shouldn’t have been the game last week, honestly I don’t think anyone wants to watch the Washington circus play anymore (especially not me if you know what I mean). not that anyone would wanna watch the Titans after today either, but the Colts/Pats game wasn’t the primetime game this week? you kidding? that’s the number one rivalry in the NFL this past 10 years or so.

MNF has no flex schedule. They can’t know how things will play out before the season begins, and if I were scheduling, I’d pick Shanahan + McNabb over Reid + Kolb 100% of the time.
And I’m sorry you’re sick of watching Washington, but they’re a 5-5 team with a good divisional record, so I don’t see why you’re quite so harsh on them. I mean, they beat Green Bay and Chicago, and barely lost to the Colts.
The team I don’t really need to see anymore is Dallas, followed closely by Indianapolis.

I heard the Orioles called up Zachary Britton
I might be a little late on that, but any opinions on him?
Editor at Baltimore Beatdown - SB Nation Baltimore Ravens Blog
They didn't call him up, exactly.
They just put him on the 40-man roster in order to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. He’ll be invited to Spring Training and given an opportunity to compete for a spot on the ML roster, but more than likely he will start next season in AAA.

Back to wins vs. draft pick again
My other blog on SB Nation is for the Buffalo Bills (do I know how to pick teams or what?).
Tonight, the blog is on the same discussion as CC was in August and September about winning vs. losing the #1 draft pick. There are bloggers truly pissed that the Bills are losing out on getting a top pick because they are winning.
My opinion now is the same as it was here in September or so. The team gains more by winning and developing the attitude that “we can win it somehow” than losing games (either by pure lack of talent or something less scrupulous) and getting that White Knight to come to the team.
I don't think there'll be a huge difference between 1 and wherever the Bills pick
come on, they’ve beaten the Bungals and the Lions. I think the close loss to the Ravens shows more of their potential than either of the two wins do. by the way, why aren’t they wearing the throwback unis? those are some of the best looking sets ever…

"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
OK, so I don't have time to write a full article right now...
…but if I did, the post would be titled “Short term solutions aren’t solutions at all.”
This offseason, we’ve seen the Orioles linked to various players who do nothing to solve our systemic problems, players like JJ Hardy, Jason Bartlett, Jorge De La Rosa, and Paul Konerko. Meanwhile, our competitors keep stocking up on draft picks and international talent.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Going after Konerko bothers me the most.
We’re not at the point where we’re just one piece away from being major competitors, that piece being a power hitter. Konerko had a great season last year, but he’s old and it would just be wasted money, especially since Prince Fielder and Adrian Gonzalez could be available next season.
And having most of our prospects on the big league roster isn’t an excuse for a weak farm system. Of course, you know that better than any of us, but I needed to let it out.
I'm fine with Konerko if he's cheap and doesn't cost a pick
And I’m sure we could find room for Konerko and Fielder or Gonzalez if we wanted to.
But I don’t see Konerko as a much better bet than say, Lance Berkman. This is the reason to not worry about first base. There are plenty of reasonable mid-range options, so if you can’t get a blue chipper, who cares?
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
speaking of draft picks
I think the Orioles should sign a first baseman to a one year deal and try to sign either Fielder or Gonzalez next year. Gonzalez looks pretty doubtful, as I think he will be a Red Sox, but the Orioles have a chance with Fielder, I think. Longer term options (i.e., Konerko – age + I don’t buy his SLG, Dunn – defense) do not appeal to me in the least. I think seeing if a guy like Pena or Derrek Lee will sign a one year deal in hopes of bouncing back makes some degree of sense.
I also think the appeal of Hardy is that there is a decent chance he will result in a draft pick, unlike a guy like Izturis.
Librarians are hiding something
Well, you can sign a first baseman to a multi year deal.....
…and still go after Fielder or Gonzalez (and as I’ve said before, go for Fielder). Dunn is a fine alternative, since I can live with his defense at first, but he’ll cost a pick and be overpriced, and the drop in his walks worries me.
But you make a fine point about the plethora of options. If not Dunn, none of the options is good enough to justify a draft pick and a large cash outlay. Pick up Lee or Berkman or Pena or LaRoche or Branyan or Johnson or Overbay cheap for one year. Heck, sign two of them. Hardy is fine, but I don’t think he’s worth giving up David Hernandez, who is five years of a multi-inning bullpen arm with late innings stuff. We need guys like that, and he can be part of a bigger trade if we find one.
In the meantime, the ways we should look to add salary is by taking the cream of last year’s FA crop who are now salary dumps for the teams that signed them. Let the Mariners dump Chone Figgins on us, and the Red Sox dump Scutaro on us. Bam, we have our new third baseman and shortstop, and both can back up Brian Roberts as well. Both are versatile enough and signed long enough that both will find ways of being useful players on the next Baltimore contender. And both are safer investments than dumping a truckload of money on Konerko or Adrian Beltre.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Avoid Konerko and Beltre
I would agree, Beltre had a career year in 2010 and Konerko reversed significant downward trends in his SLG. I don’t buy either for 2011 and beyond. I would pass on Figgins for sure and Scutaro too, as Figgins clunker of a year isn’t a massive anomaly (Figgins has had 3 seasons sub OPS+ of 85 in the last 5 years).

I noticed that too. Tis the way of the world now, though. Just don't make it to obvious.

The other option is to make it as obvious as possible
to the point where it becomes part of the joke (which would clearly not work for TWD). The Colbert Report has perfected this, and Chuck usually does pretty good with its required Subway placements.
Another article I'd write if I had the time:
“Marco Scutaro is a better trade target than JJ Hardy or Jason Bartlett.”
He has a better track record, is signed longer-term, is a very versatile bench player if we find a better starter or could replace Brian Roberts if need be, and would cost almost nothing in a trade because he’d be a salary dump. And he would provide us with some badly needed on base skills.
