Coming off their best year in history (40 years of misery), it was great to see them utterly demolish the Red Sox in the first series of the year, mostly because all the bandwagon Bosox fans in their gear coming out to the ballpark all weekend getting humiliated. Anyone else turning to baseball for something to keep your interest because of the failure of other sports?

There'll be pro football in 2011.

Baseball? Wake me when the games matter. :roll:

I consider myself blessed and spoiled to witness the Michael Jordan Era of the Chicago Bulls.

And although the current Chicago Bulls team doesn't have an icon player like Michael Jordan (...yet... maybe...), they are playing with a lot of heart. They've also beaten all of the top teams in the league, including the Lakers.

Saying that the Lakers to win the whole thing is pre-decided is not necessarily true.

The basketball season is not yet over for me...

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

This has got to be an April Fool's article. However, anyone who does not believe it's accurate is actually the fool. :twisted:

I used to believe they were the lovable losers until the Steve Bartman incident when "Cub fans" wanted to kill him. :cry:

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Baseball watching, nope. If there is no football starting August, then I'll just do something else on Sundays like cheer about the Packers still being Superbowl Champions.

No Doubt. Course I like the Brewers, just don't get to watch the games anymore.

Awesome!

I never had a floppy drive, anyway (just a cassette drive

). New-fangled gadgetry, pshaw!

I don't know, I think Hobo with a Shotgun looked better.

I love Rutger Hauer. He's so sick. In a good way.

EDIT (2 hours later): I couldn't resist. I rented Hobo with a Shotgun "On Demand". It's... um.. different. I was alternately cringing and laughing, which is somewhat unsettling. I don't know if I could actually recommend it, but it was definitely Rutger Hauer at his Rutgerest (think "The Hitcher" with more blood, except Rutger's the good guy...sort of.)

Favorite lines, mostly only funny in context, but what the heck:

"I'm gonna wash off my blood, with your blood."

"You're crushing my smokes!"

"You and I are going on a ride, and you're riding SHOTGUN!"

:roll:
