The Alfonso Soriano to the Yanks deal is basically done - it is just waiting for Bud Selig's approval since the Cubs are paying such a large portion of the deal.
Soriano was scratched from last night's game and reportedly was on a red eye flight to NY.
The Cubs are getting a low level pitching prospect
Just to put a bow on this since the trade is official
- Yanks only have to pay $6.8 million of the remaining money on his contract (approximately $24.5 million)
- Cubs are getting pitcher Corey Black. BA has him as the Yanks 25th best prospect. NYY was using him as a starter and... yeah... this year wasn't too kind to him. Apparently Chicago plans to use him as a reliever.

Just stumbled across this this morning... you will see why I am posting it

49ers cornerback Tarell Brown lost an opportunity to make an additional $2 million because he failed to complete the 2013 offseason workout clause in his contract, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.
Brown, who spent a majority of his offseason in Texas working on increasing his speed, will watch his salary fall from $2.925 million to $925,000. Maybe Texas will be willing to pick up the tab, but we doubt it. Since then, Brown decided to part ways with his agent, Brian Overstreet, who did not respond to messages left by the Sacramento Bee seeking comment.“I no longer have an agent as of now,” Brown told the Sacramento Bee.” … No one wants to leave money on the table. If I would have known the clauses in my contract and that’s what agents get paid to do — to orchestrate the contract and let you know what you can and can’t do as far as workouts and OTAs and things of that sort. That’s what he got paid to do, he didn’t do that, so in my opinion he had to be let go.” -
The only thing more frustrating for me is when a Charm option comes up that I don't have enough points yet

So in I already stumbled into two worlds that were way harder than they should have been since I was still low leveled.
Fucking Pirate/Asari Slavers.
What I hate is lucking out and beating those pirates and then not being able to open their gear containers because my Tech's Electronics or Decryption is too low and then I have to remember to come back later on when my skills are sharper..
THIS!!!!
I forgot that happened too last night. I was like "MOTHERFUCKER!!! I just slaughter like two dozen slaves and now you are saying you wont open. Let me grab one of their corpses to beat you with."
Yeah... and I say every time it won't anger me but it does. Good Lord does the inventory system suck

I am humored how the entire marketing for The To Do List became WATCH AUBREY PLAZA MASTURBATE ON CAMERA!!!!

Ryan Swope has retired already as he suffered a concussion in Cards OTAs and his doctor's recommended he not play football again "at least for now"
He had at least two concussions at Texas A&M

Oh and the Dodgers DFAed Ted Lilly

Last night was the reminder that outside the main plot planets - I remember where NOTHING is.

In regards to the final boss - I know I Charmed my way through it the 2nd time, I am trying to remember if I had enough to that the first time I ever played the game

Robert Fick announced that he did roids a few times in his career
The more amusing thing was the story was broken by Roy Firestone
Yes that Roy Firestone

Yeah - the original article remains the samehttp://www.cracked.com/article_18441_7-celebrities-who-had-badass-careers-you-didnt-know-about_p2.htmlTo be fair - the article is almost three years old and at the time of their research they were going by the incorrect info from IMDB (so it's not like they were trusting like wiki per se)In fact - the article links to Lipton's IMDB page - which as JT says - no longer lists the Thundercats creditI think that is an internet hoax, folks. IIRC Jules Bass (co-founder of Rankin / Bass and also a composer) penned the lyrics and Bernard Hoffer composed the music for the original Thundercats theme song. I'm not sure if Cracked.com ever posted a retraction but IIRC all references to the Thundercats theme song in Lipton's musical bio at IMDB have been removed and the correct musical credits are now listed at IMDB.

I'm honestly curious how much of how hard I took the ending goes back to how much I bought into Hale as FemShep.Oh, an in the 1st game, playing with anything but an adept with an Assault Rifle is an inferior choice. Singularity is broken.
Well so it AI Hacking... especially with how much you fight Geth
-
Okay - as I briefly mentioned, I started my grand full series playthrough as FemShep
Some thoughts as I go through the series a new again
- How I know I married the right woman? We spent 10 minutes arguing over what makeup my FemShep should have.. which branched off into discussions of would a soldier such as Shepard really be wearing makeup and what the potential technological advances in makeup applications might be.
- I decided to play as an Infiltrator. I actually surprised myself with this choice. I knew I was going to go with someone with Tech powers but I was sure it was going to be Engineer. Then I remembered that I didn't want to be limited to just pistols. Getting much better at sniping made the choice that much easier.
- Of course - I had also forgotten that because I had already beaten the game, I got to unlock another weapon class. So I am using Sniper Rifles, Pistols and Assault Rifles - that's all I need.
- Speaking of sniping. Holy Fuck is it fucking tough in the early goings of the game. God Bless. I need some mods STAT.
- My back story is Colonist/War Hero (last time I was a Spacer/War Hero). I can't pass up the War Hero Paragon bonus. It's weird to know that my Mom isn't alive. But in theory, I get a mission I never did before.
- Yup - Mass Effect is one ugly fucking game. How the fuck did I never notice how fucking long all the women's necks are? I know I am judging unfairly because I have seen 2 and 3 so much but still.
- God Dammit - do I have the "use Party Member X a majority of the time achievements" because to be able to do them you need to do nothing but main plot until getting Liara and THEN go back and do all the stuff on the Citadel. Well of course - since I do all the extra shit first then the main story - I am pretty much boned this playthrough. I might be able to get it with Garrus but yeah... probably not.
- I haven't decided yet what I am going to do in regards to my love interest. My wife really wants me to have Garrus as my boyfriend but she didn't realize that he wasn't an option till game 2. And she doesn't like Liara. Might have to deal with Kaiden until I can kill him. Might have to be a sexless cat lady the first game.
- Lastly... but probably most importantly... yeah... Holy Fuck is Jennifer Hale's voice work amazing. I mean I have only gotten to where I finally became a Spectre and got the Normandy for my own use but it is night and day how much more... personality... there is to the Female Shepard.
-
Lego lotr - not as fun as i was expecting.
Not a bad game though.
I really didn't like how this one they really really made it that you needed to go through the entire story before back tracking for free play. Otherwise... have fun running forever to get back to like the Shire

Oh Dave...
Corrections in the new Observer
In the new Observer when talking about items in Facebook, I've been told that the Facebook relationships talked about are in fact, fake facebook accounts and that a number of WWE talent have people posing as them on facebook these days.So we apologize to the parties involved on the WWE roster for the mentions. -
The screen cap spoils the entire video... I mean you can quickly figure out where it is going but still
-
I read that as you detested "NewsRadio" and I was thinking "Well you are just not welcome here"
I'm glad I was wrong. Carry on

I mean Sting is obvious for the Taker mania match, a DVD and the Hall of Fame
Jeff Hardy would be a merch move first though he can easily be thrown on Smackdown to be the uber super kid friendly superstar that Rey Jr never is anymore. Plus they would keep him around to take the fall when Randy Orton avoids his third strike again.
One would assume that Kurt Angle would suddenly be all THE WWE IS THE GREATEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD!!!! again but I can't remember what his current relationship with Vince/Hunter is. You would think they would be willing to work something out just for DVD and Hall of Fame purposes but if crazy Kurt is around, who knows if they want to take the chance on him killing himself in the ring.
Everyone else, I feel the WWE would be like "Eh we already have our own guys who are exactly the same".
Hunter hates the divas and since apparently so do the Bellas - no one is getting picked up there.
And Mike mentioned Daniels. Daniels is old, old, old - there is no way they are putting him in development (or signing him)... unless it is to be a trainer.
I guess folks like Punk and Bryan might go to bat for a couple of their friends but the juice probably isn't worth the squeeze
-
I was joking the other day that when TNA folds and the WWE buys them - it will be really amusing when the only guy on the roster they hire would be Sting.
But that did raise an interesting thought about who the WWE would actually pick up because I think the number would be less than a handful and some would be almost merch related only

My fault - I snoozed and lossed??? and lost my spotI am at the ready when one of you deadbeats doesn't payI'm uncomfortable with the lack of Rippa.

I want to post this as an embedded video but can't seem to find a 'media' button on editing tools as per the Posting Videos bit in the Board News sub forum - what am I doing wrong?
There ya go - for some wacky reason it won't let me edit your post but yup - using the Share option on the Youtube page worked fine.

2013 NFL Preseason
in FOOTBALL
Posted
Remember it was similar things that lead to Lavar Arrington having his massive fall out with the Redskins
The Skins and Arrington had agreed to his extension which included a $6.5 million bonus. After he signed the contract, Arrington discovered the Skins didn't include the bonus in the contract. His agent admitted to not reading the final contract.
