Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

Game 110 Post-Gamer: Afterglow or Shame?

We won't have a chance to post a full recap until tonight, so if you want or need to talk about this afternoon's game or what else is going on in the AL Central, this open thread is for you.  (Unfortunately, this is being written before the game has ended, so I don't know the final result.)

Full recap up later tonight.  And we will also have some clerical issues to address in another post, as well.

I have been scouring the internets

looking for the Hispanic player pic from yesterday. It’s not up at tigers.com yet. Any other ideas?

by NCDee on Aug 9, 2009 4:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

you could try

flickr.com. Maybe there are some random fans posting their shots

5 0f 7 is damn fine

now let’s go get back at the red sox and their struggling ways

I felt more disgusted today than yesterday

because every time we would do something then the stupid Twins would counter act it. Until Alli reminded me we were actually still in this game… unlike yesterday

hehe

I just had one of those feelings today that we’d make it happen in the end, no matter how ugly

by allikazoo on Aug 9, 2009 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

I would LOVE that

But I would settle for 2, realistically.

i figured it was tagne's burn from last night

i was confused about it in the morning gamethread, so i went and reread it. it wasn’t THAT bad….seems folks overreacted

by mrsunshine on Aug 9, 2009 4:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Stop stop stop!!

I don’t handle conflict well.

by NCDee on Aug 9, 2009 4:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

I didn't even read it

The comments are so voluminous that if I miss a game it’s very difficult to catch up on the conversation.

But compared to some of the internet threads I’ve participated in, people here seem in general very respectful toward each other – even the cussing is kept to a minimum, and only when it is really deserved. Sometimes people get snippy with each other, but I can’t recall any nasty slurs or ethnic insults or homophopia or rampant misogyny or anything.

He probably just wants to nip it in the bud to make sure it doesn’t get out of hand later.

tagne replied to a question with

“because you touch yourself” and the offended party went off a little too much

by mrsunshine on Aug 9, 2009 4:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Got a transcript?

I don’t wanna dig through comment threads.

by David Tokarz on Aug 9, 2009 5:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

lol

why

Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.

by Detroitchik on Aug 9, 2009 5:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

I dunno

I feel out of the loop and want to see what the kerfuffle is about?

by David Tokarz on Aug 9, 2009 5:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

benniebladesfan

asked why dolsi wasn’t up for the tigers with his sub 1 era. why isn’t he up here instead of this guy (lambert). doesn’t make sense.

to which tagne replied “because you touch yourself”

by mrsunshine on Aug 9, 2009 5:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

BBF then replied

(well, ian wrote cmon first).

then BBF wrote : “Dont worry….. ……..Hes always like then Ian…..I ignore comments from idiots”

I know

It’s all kinda pointless isn’t it?

by David Tokarz on Aug 9, 2009 5:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah

And not even all that bad, really. Very mild – just more cranky and irritable than anything else.

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria

by Baroque on Aug 9, 2009 5:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah. i was really suprised when i read it

because from what i was seeing this morning it was the end-all of personal attacks…and it really isn’t. as the head taunter of the tech pep band, i’ve done WAY worse while staying within NCAA guidelines…

by mrsunshine on Aug 9, 2009 5:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

ian tried to recompense by saying they both had their shots in

and BBF basically said he wouldn’t put up with that BS and that he wouldn’t be around as much?

i’m so confused. probably because i frequent a message board that makes burns like that look like a couple of elementary kids going at it

by mrsunshine on Aug 9, 2009 5:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm out of the loop, too

Don’t leave me the only one. I’ll be lonely. :)

OT

does anyone know the difference between a candy thermometer and a meat thermometer?

Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.

by Detroitchik on Aug 9, 2009 4:59 PM EDT reply actions  

yeah

dammit. I am boiling frosting and have no candy therm but I have a meat one

when you boil frosting

How do you keep the plastic container it comes in from melting? ;)

what?

I can’t make the same excellent buttercream frosting my mom always did, so I just go the lazy route.

I don't put that much work into an actual meal - for frosting it's WAY too much work.

Good luck with it, though! :)

I baked a cake. a Mexican Fiesta cake. :o) for our staff meeting tomorrow. They are always at 4 pm, acrappy part of the day and I thought a cake would be a nice pick me up for the staff

Candy thermometer usually has a glass bulb and a clip so it can be attached to the side of a pot or double boiler to continuously monitor the temperature, a meat thermometer usually has a metal stem and should be instant-read so you can stab it into the meat and get the temperature of the center of the cut.

Time to get a little more work done before I have to go back to work tomorrow. Bah.

Loons win again!

They have beaten the Whitecaps 3-0, 10-2, and 6-0 in the first three games of the four-game series – tomorrow night Casey Crosby will be pitching for West Michigan, so they have a very good chance to avoid the sweep if he is a good as advertised. Tag and I will see. :)

ozzie goes off again....

Had a classic rant about how the sox are going to throw at guys. On espn.com. Hate the sox, but its tough to hate ozzie if only for the entertainment value.
