  1. okay, let's not let artemev say anything to the camera again.
  2. artemev better swallow the pommell horse or something.
  3. that tan guy is a spy sent by chinese gangsters to screw us up.
  4. let's not choke away the silver now.
  5. then why is he even playing anymore, then? he's on the road already. if being with his family is such a high priority to him, he should just retire. Maybe he's decided getting paid millions of dollars is worth being away from his family for 80 or so days a year, but not 200 days. wait, is this early august or early april? early August...maybe mid-August? somewhere right in there, I guess. But if he goes to Boston now, he spends the next 3 months away from his family. I don't know a great deal about Giles' family, but it would seem he can't just up and move them all to Boston for the next 3 months. Maybe he doesn't think Boston's going to win it all this year and just making the playoffs isn't enough for him to be away from his family that long. my argument is that he's not spending that much more time away from his family than he would if he stayed in san diego. i don't know, maybe a playoff appearance would conflict with a pta meeting or something?
  6. peon third world country? china is the largest country in the world and their olympic teams aren't just highly trained, they're bred especially for competition. That is why I do not want to lose to them, esp. that swimmer who coaches himself and all the ones not with the sponsors or with profession coaches(and had to work at home depot) those are the people I respect the most. Ya, I love the "we are the world " crap but when it comes down to it I want to kick some major commilist butt. (commilstic=communism and capitalist) and this makes me want to root for the chinese.
  7. horton is bringing it.
  8. someone tell haggerty to stop stepping out of bounds.
  9. they're leading because they're better. the americans are sticking the landings but the chinese exercises are insanely hard. the triple twisty thing on the high bar isn't insanely difficult. I'd have given him straight tens of course you would, which is the least of the many many many reasons you aren't a judge. the americans aren't as good, they can't do what the chinese can. they're keeping up the best that they can, which is really amazing considering they've been patched together at the last minute
  10. peon third world country? china is the largest country in the world and their olympic teams aren't just highly trained, they're bred especially for competition.
  11. they're leading because they're better. the americans are sticking the landings but the chinese exercises are insanely hard.
  12. They said the high bar was the worst event for the Chinese. If they continue to have one guy make a mistake per event maybe an outside shot. I noticed China's difficulty is way beyond anything any other team does. i have noticed that. even if they goof up, they still get a high score because the routines are so difficult.
  13. where did those chinese guys learn to high five? did the kennel-for-kids they were raised in have a vcr with the police academy movies on tape?
  14. i don't know if they have a shot at beating the chinese, but they have a great shot at the silver right now with japan stumbling around like 6 o'clock at the karaoke bar.
  15. the americans are tearing that bar up.
  16. That was awesome. i forgot that my dvr is like a couple of minutes behind. wow, that was a great routine for the little guy.
  17. japan doing their best to choke away the silver medal.
  18. esl phenom kraig appleton, scout's 12th rated wr nationally, has committed to the illini, joining teammate terry hawthorne.
  19. I guess he hates catching TDs in the Super Bowl. moose was a punk, he always had some excuse as to why he wasn't performing, and he was never at fault.
  20. For the love of... I have never seen this board put on blinders the way it has with Fukudome. He's not "just in a slump." HE'S JUST NOT THAT GOOD. This is insane, it's like last year when the casual fan message boards wouldn't accept anything bad about Theriot. I'm sick of the excuses. Will someone please just give a date when you guys will FINALLY stop using the "Blah blah blah new country blah blah slump blah blah blah he'll figure it out" stuff, because I've heard it long enough and I'm sick of that crutch. Look, it's simple. He's like Akinori Iwamura. Neither are good producers. That's the end of it. The Cubs made a bad decision but I don't blame them, it seems like Japanese players have been overhyped ever since Ichiro. I feel sorry for the team that pays a $100 million posting fee for Darvish. Get Kosuke the hell out of the #2 spot. #7. did you read this thread, or did you just come here looking for a post like that you could rip to shreds? because if you had read the thread, you would have seen that cynosure was basically alone in proclaiming kosuke fine. why you feel the need to criticize "this board" over the posts of one guy, i have no idea. he's just looking for newsletter subscribers. apparently, he's never been able to get over pearl harbor.
  21. he's going to have trouble finding partners if his aim is to lose money.
  22. Really, even after we pantsed them four straight games in their ballpark, against their top 4 starters? They're winning because they're playing the worst teams in the NL at home right now. yeah, all all i know is that sheets and cc are doing it old school with shutouts and complete games. hopefully that means they'll be tired down the stretch, but they are dominating major league teams right now. please stop winning, brewers.
  23. i'm still not convinced we're all that much better than the brewers. they are winning and not losing.
  24. just sayin, i said this like 20 times already.
