I love going through old topics, and today I came upon this.

He didn't, but he sure did come pretty damn close, twice! :D

Also, happy birthday Wyl!

1. I should stop reading coverage of the World Series. It's pissing me off. -_-

2. I am now broke because I spent $50 on a Yugioh card.

3. Really hoping Sandy persists long enough for us to miss school tomorrow.

1. What are they saying? "Detroit is down 3-0, but there is absolutely no chance the Giants can hold on and win this series."

2. You spend $50 on one Yugioh card?

3. It missed us!

1. I still keep seeing writers citing rust and luck (when that luck is great defense) and it's pretty obvious a lot of them are scrambling because the vast majority of them picked the Tigers. Obviously the articles are getting a little better over time, and it's not the case for all pieces (ones about Zito's revival, or Timmy's move to the bullpen have been good), but Giants still aren't getting full credit IMO.

Part of that might come from fan bias, I'll admit, but I stand by my point. I'll go ahead and quote an article about Cabrera's and Fielder's struggles:

Quote:
"In fairness, Detroit's two sluggers have fallen victim to some bad luck against San Francisco. In the Series opener, left fielder Gregor Blanco made diving catches on both of them. In Game 2, Pablo Sandoval stole a double from Cabrera with a leaping catch and Blanco ranged to the warning track to haul in a shot by Fielder. Throw in Crawford's diving stop of a Cabrera grounder in the eighth inning of Game 3 and Miggy and Prince could just as easily be 8-for-19 as 3-for-19 in the Series (though they'd still be homerless)."


Seriously, great defense is good luck now?

2. Yup. One YGO card. Because Gear Gigant X is badass and necessary for the deck I made.

3. Good for you. Have fun in school tomorrow~

I think we might miss school Monday and maybe Tuesday because it's hitting us the hardest in the NJ, or really the Delaware Valley.

I wonder if Paul will because he's not too far from NJ.

On the topic of Giants/Tigers - :|

Lastly, pretty crazy on the Thunder trade. Think it's a win-win for both sides since those two 1st-rounders + that 2nd-rounder + Jeremy Lamb could really help them in the future and K-Mart is a good replacement
for right now. On the other hand Harden could be a big piece towards the Rockets being a playoff contender.

In other news, I'm so bored! There's nothing good on TV, it's raining outside, and I can't make any Success Mode players

Skittle, damn you. I was about to do that to his post. :P (No seriously nice job)

I don't care much about basketball, but it did seem like a pretty mutually beneficial trade to me... and I'm a Rams fan, so I'd know about those sorts of deals. :wink:

Watch at your own discretion:



And the video isn't showing..

Anyway, it's Marcus Lattimore's injury if you haven't already seen it.. his career is probably over at this point. It sucks to hear stuff like that.

He tore all four ligaments in his knee (PCL, LCL, MCL, ACL) on top of suffering a broken femur. It didn't look terrible in real-time, or slow motion. I had to watch in frame-by-frame to really realize how bad it was

Try this.

Should I possibly make a mini-tutorial post on how to post YouTube links? Or would it not be that necessary?

I think most of us know how. You just put the random gibberish letters and numbers that are at the end of the URL
