I’m taking my dad to the game on Sunday for Father’s Day. I’ve never been there before but every time I drive past it on 95 I think how pretty it is.

Grove Stadium...
Was the first pro stadium I ever visited (sometime in mid 1995 I think) and I don’t think it’s seen an upgrade since it was first built. Although there is a Cracker Barrel nearby…
I had a chance to play at PG Stadium and will always remember how nice the infield dirt was, no rocks or anything like the stuff we were used to as PGC public school kids.

I'm a little ashamed to admit to
But I’ve never seen a Pixar movie. But the reviews for this movie have been so good that I feel like I need to break my embargo.
I came to camdenchat and all I got was this lousy avatar.
I just never got around to it. I meant to watch Wall-E for example. Even DVRed it. But then it got erased before I watched it. I think part of the issue is that I have unfair snobbish towards animation. I watch tons of movie. I’ve been an unusual tear lately (Adventureland – awesome, Get Him to the Greek – Good, Babies – Bad, Friday the 13th (2009) – ridiculous, The Last House on the Left – annoying, Hot Tub Time Machine – blah), but I typically watch one or two movies a week. And I always found something better to watch. Is Monsters versus Aliens Pixar? I’ve seen most of that. That it was good. There’s a nice “don’t judge a book by its cover” message for the kiddos. Other than that, I’ve never seen more than a trailer for a Pixar movie. But I’ll correct that tonight.
I came to camdenchat and all I got was this lousy avatar.
nevermind, Monsters versus Aliens isn't Pixar
So my Pixar embargo is still alive.

It was sweet
But it wasn’t funny like the other ones. The thing about Pixar is that it can appeal to all ages, and the jokes in Cars just weren’t funny.
You gotta love the animation though, in all the movies.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
I think the humans in Wall-E were funny. I liked the subtle things like how each successive captain got fatter.
Well
that’s not very subtle. There was no subtlety in the second half and the message almost became a sermon. I didn’t mind all that much, but it was a bit of a let down after the amazing first half.
If you're going to talk about sermons on a topic related to this...sort of...
Let’s take Avatar: the most preachy movie, um, ever to make over a billion dollars. But of course, the whole movie was bad from beginning to end. After all, the premise is dumb in the first place.
OK I shouldn’t go on a rant about how bad Avatar is. So I will stop right there.

It's James Cameron...
the man doesn’t “do” subtle.
I’m boycotting Avatar for a multitude of reasons, mostly because I figure soon I’ll be the only person alive that hasn’t seen it. The politics doesn’t bother me, but it’s hard to suggest that there can be a real message in a movie that’s being billed as an action/blockbuster type of film.
by TerroristFistJab on Jun 18, 2010 6:21 PM EDT up reply actions
The visuals are worth seeing in a 3d Imax type of theatre
They really are. The story is hackneyed and the acting is so-so, but its really something to look at. I wouldn’t bother to see it again on DVD though.
The message didn't bother me the most
I guess the effects were cool, but my thought going out was basically this: This is the best he could do with a $400 million budget?
The Titanic had a huge budget too but at least it made me cry and the acting was believable. Avatar was just all around bad. The message he was trying to get across is a good one, but he went about all the wrong way, which makes me think that people were turned off by the environmentalist preaching and he wasn’t furthering the cause at all. I am a huge environmentalist, by the way.
Wall-E got the message across in a beautiful, poignant way. Avatar threw it in your face. That’s the difference.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Interesting tidbit I heard last night.
Pixar has made 11 movies and John Ratzenberger has been in all of them.

It's pretty cool how they do that.
He was Lightning McQueen’s trailer in Cars, and in the epilouge that showed, it had the trailer at a drive movie theater, watching car versions of the Pixar films, shwoing his lines for those movies, and then the trailer says “They keep using the same actor for these movies.” His speaking role in Up was easily his smallest of all the movies.

I think there's a Cars 2 coming out soon.
Incredibles 2 makes sense also, because the story wasn’t just sealed so that a sequel would be impossible like WALL-E and Finding Nemo were. I can’t think of any Pixar movies that could be set up for a sequel.

So the guy receiving the pass can't be the guy closest to the goal??
what kind of sense does that make?
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
He can be, just not when the ball is played
when the ball is played, you have to be even with the second to last defender (the last defender is usually the goalie).
The purpose is to prevent chery picking
So you have to stay behind the last line of defense until the ball is passed ahead. I didn’t get the point of it for a while, but removing offsides removes a large part of the strategy

It's different if you're the one shooting the ball.
The offsides rule applies to passing the ball/receiving a pass. If you’re one-on-one against the goalie, fire away.

So who would that offside call have been against?
I thought they were saying he called it on the guy shooting the ball?
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
It was called as a foul...
The referee even stops watching the ball after he blew the whistle, so any post hoc bull about offsides would be just that, bull.
The worst is that two US players were practically impregnated by their defenders, should have been a PK at worst.
by TerroristFistJab on Jun 18, 2010 6:24 PM EDT up reply actions
Ok
So you can’t approach the goal and receive a pass if there’s not a defender in front of you?
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
or even with you, when the ball is played
if you’re even with the defender when the ball is kicked, and then run behind the defender you’re onside.
John Cleese does a fantastic job of explaining it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmC9JOcaofI
You can receive it
You just have to sprint past the defender after the ball is passed. He can aim the ball behind the defense and you can run to meet it.
And it’s not actually offsides until somebody touches the ball. One player might be past the defender, but if another runs in and takes the pass then it’s still safe.

Not necessarily. All you have to do is be involved in the play. If you’re in an offside position and in an area that would impact how the play unfolds, by distracting a defender for example, offsides will be called.
By the end of this WC I might actually understand all this shit.

you have to have the two defenders OR the ball in front of you
if you don’t have either, and the ball is passed up to you, you’re offsides.
if you’re offsides but away from the play, it doesn’t get called.

World Cup WTF?!? Russian TV announcers: "The ref stole the game from the Americans."
Hard to disagree with them. No one was offside, no foul was evident in any replay. It looked like a “general principles” call: a lot of guys bumping around in the crease (or whatever it’s called in soccer), so there must’ve been a foul.
Donovan in post-game: “It was the guy’s first WC match, so maybe he got ‘caught in the moment.’ But you don’t take a goal away at the end of a World Cup match without a good reason.”
Meaning there wasn’t one.
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
Russian between-games studio analysts: It was actually FIFA who f#cked the Americans...
Apparently FIFA’s “representational referees” policy dictated that a ref from Mali had to be included in the Cup complement— and this guy is who they got.
The analysts are saying it’s a matter of class, as in Um, Mali? Was this guy from the Mali Central League, ya think, or the Mali Coastal League? Apparently it’s analogous to an umpire from A ball getting dropped into the World Series. Sure, the guy knows the basic function, but he’s way out of his depth.
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
I was watching the England game
and even the England announcers were ripping the ref and saying we got robbed of a win. I didn’t see it myself, but i figure if England is agreeing we got screwed when they are on the brink of elimination, it must be true.
I believe he's also reffed some some Africa Cup games, so maybe he's more like a AA umpire
Although i believe he botched one of those badly too
That was just a bad call
Missed two guys hugging US players and called a mystery call. The biggest crime is that he never explained his call to the players, you always should be able to at least point at someone even if its the wrong call.

this one paragraph right here...
All that being said, there have been two constants over the past 12 straight losing seasons in Baltimore: Peter Angelos and Terry Crowley. Crowley has somehow managed to survive six managers: Ray Miller for one year, Mike Hargrove for four years, Lee Mazzilli for one-plus year, Sam Perlozzo for two years, Dave Trembley for three years, and now Juan Samuel for a few games. Can anybody think of any coach who has survived so much turnover on one team with results being as bad as the Orioles have had over the last 12 years?
that’s what gets me..

Well we'll have the first pick next year
So hopefully a pitcher of the Stasburgian mold will come along.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
In reality
We’ll get a third baseman of the Longoriaian mold.

Or Cole or Purke
Either of whom could end up being the best college pitcher in a decade not named Strasburg.

If we lose twice as many games as the second worst team...
can we have the first two picks?

I think we may be getting ahead of ourselves here
let’s not get all psyched out thinking Rendon is the next Longoria. Sure, he’s a similar player at his age, but he’s coming off his frosh year in college. IF he’s who we take, we can hope for the best (which would basically be a Longoria-type), but let’s calm it down. I can’t deal with much more disappointment.

Dude I messed up your gamethread
I went in to make sure it was scheduled and accidentally deleted the lineup, and when I tried to re-add the widget it says it’s not available, which is weird. Anyway, I typed in the lineups. Sorry about that, it was a slip of the mouse.

Ahaha, no big deal
Yeah, there was no lineup widget for me either. I had actually copied and pasted from the game thread a couple days ago and just changed the names from the Giants to the Padres and had it run the auto-tag. It wasn’t a lot of work so no big deal at all.

I wasn't sure if it would work or not
I can never get the preview button to actually show me a page preview. So I just stuck it in there and figured we’d see when the thread went up. The pitcher things look fine and I edited those too so I think it would be OK to do.

What browser are you using? I’ve never had any trouble with Firefox or Chrome seeing the preview. It usually pops up in a new window.
