I'm listening to this Joe Maddon press conference and I have two words for y'all: PANTS FREE!

I'm more concerned about how he handles pitchers, something Beef has frequent problems with.

Boy...is DC capable of anything that doesn't refer to Crisis? I'm curious from you DC readers: Does it bug you that it's been however many years and DC continues to fall back into everything revolving around the multiverse or a Crisis type event? It reminds me of WWE overly utilizing McMahons or brand GMs.

It's pretty clear it's a smear piece after having read the pages in question and seeing who the comments/accusations are coming from. I eagerly await Louie CK being called a child-beating, racist, homophobic, pedophile.

Looks like CoD: AW is getting pretty good reviews, with many sources saying it revitalizes the series. Anyone planning on picking this up?

It's going to happen. You're fooling yourself if you think it won't. Then again, I said there was 0% chance Maddon would manage the Cubs, and here we are.

What if with the next CBA the DH is expanded to the NL?

5 years, $25 million for Maddon with the Cubs. Hell yeah.

Oh...hmm...seems like Edge vs Undertaker should have been a big deal.

If it was downtown, it may have been the Water Tower...Otherwise, I'm guessing it was Woodfield Mall in Schaumberg. It's a big mall that probably does stuff for inside trick or treating. Or maybe not. It's been awhile since I've been there. Last time I was there was for Black Friday like 7 or 8 years ago. I'm not even sure how I let myself get talked into that. Anyway, Schaumberg is NOT Chicago, so it could have definitely been somewhere else.

I really hate the look of 120hz. For movies, gaming, TV watching, etc. I stick with 60hz. Besides, if a computer is connected, it needs to be set at 60hz.

Interesting thoughts. Theo and Jed know way better than anyone else, so I'll always defer to their better judgment.

You know, I know he is the new hotness this offseason and all...but if there is one guy who reeks of a trap to me, it is Russell Martin. I've been very very very wrong before. But man, the whole Russell Martin has become the new Johnny Bench thing is...puzzling. I know someone's gonna roll out the stats and I am going to be told I am an idiot but whatever. My gut tells me he's going to get a McCann-like deal and it will get ugly quickly. The biggest problem with Martin is the length of contract he and his agent will seek. Basically, I'm looking for 2, maybe 3 years, of Martin playing fairly well behind the plate. That third year, and definitely the fourth year, are huge question marks. Then you have a way, way, way overpaid backup 1B. Especially so if Schwarber turns out to be the real deal and can play behind home plate. The alternative is sticking with Castillo, who has consistently been a slow starter. Even when he gets going, he's OK at best. Oh, and he still has problems framing his pitches, a problem he's had since he became the full-time catcher.

Edge vs Undertaker was during my period where I took a break from wrestling. Was it Streak vs Streak?

Plenty to be ecstatic about. It's Maddon Day. EDIT: Also, having hope and getting excited in the face of futility is what we Cubs fans do.

This is surprising. The Cubs and Tsuyoshi Wada agreed on a contract for 2015. I figured Wada would be as good as gone. I'm happy he'll be back. He's a good hand to have in the rotation. It does make me wonder if the Cubs will now only target one starting pitcher. If they get Lester and someone else, like maybe Russell Martin, I'll be ecstatic.

That was my biggest problem with Neighbors. Leaving their baby at home, without a babysitter or anything, while Rogen's and Byrne's characters are next door getting completely shitfaced was a little unsettling. At some point someone in the crew with kids should have pointed out that you can't portray Rogen and Byrne as good parents if they're just abandoning their kid. That said, I was able to get past that and enjoy the movie, but it did and does bother me.

Oh yeah, since no one else has mentioned it yet... KURT MOTHERFUCKIN' RUSSELL

I only ever do the Item, Kill and VIP missions. VIPs in particular net you 25 points for Vanguard rank. It makes farming Vanguard rank, or even faction rank, particularly easy. Also, I made my peace with missing out on Patience and Time. If I'm going to get an Exotic sniper rifle, it's going to be the Icebreaker. I've watched it in action with two different Guardians and it's impressive as hell. The ammo regenerating in particular is great. I could see Patience and Time being awesome in the Crucible with the ability to go invisible whenever you look down the sights, but most of my time now is spent upgrading my gear, so weapons good in Crucible aren't that appealing to me at the moment, especially since I can consistently wreck fools with just about any shotgun.

I think I'm one of a few that never saw what was so great about Chris Rock being a SNL cast member. I don't think I liked him in any sketches and he was relegated to the death slot prett frequently. Him hosting SNL does nothing for me and sure enough, it wasn't anything special or even good.

It feels like every time Forsett has a good run that is a yard or two shy of a first down, the next play is an incomplete pass from Flacco.

I fucking love all of this. This series is like a fine wine that gets better with age.

Corbin is #1 and the best. I want him doing this on the main roster more than I want anyone else on the main roster at this point. Like, would anyone be upset if Corbin debuted on Raw and squashed a monster, like Henry, Show or even Rusev?

I don't think I've ever created a women's wrestler in any wrestling game.

GOD DAMN! What a fucking block.
