That Keri Hilson pic ranks as one of the five worst ever in the Roundup.
July 13th, 2011 at 8:53 AM
I would be shocked if he was. From all indications, this looks like a good deal for the Brewers. Apparently the clause for K-Rod is games finished and the Crew has Axford closing. Also, if K-Rod is offered arb in the offseason and rejects it, the Brewers get two 1st rounders, right? Which would replace the two minor leaguers TBNL.
July 13th, 2011 at 8:54 AM
You’re right. The Forde article does make a lot of sense.
Those schools should be best-equipped to handle a sudden spike in payroll expenses. But for hundreds of schools already struggling to balance budgets, paying athletes would seemingly lead to financial ruin. And that’s before adding in the specter of worker’s compensation to cover injuries and other potential new realities associated with turning students into employees.
It’s easy to envision schools dropping even more sports or handing out even more partial scholarships in non-revenue programs. The fewer the athletes you have to pay, the better your chances to stay out of the red.
July 13th, 2011 at 8:55 AM
I can’t even remember the last time anyone mentioned anything about Stern. He’s totally irrelevant anymore.
Brewers did well in that trade, good for them.

Anything that gets Milwaukee to the post season is a good thing. K-rod’s not going to be happy though when his 17.5 million dollar option won’t get realized. No wonder he switched agents to Scott Boras.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:06 AM
Great analogy by Mila….it just increases her awesome factor.
she is fine and smart, but not because of this analogy. we’ve all had freinds with benefits that have turned out fine. or, a relationship where it’s made clear ahead of time that this is about sex, no strings

it’s not right, since crocs are both smaller and bigger, depending on species. Saltwater crocodiles, like that legless one depicted, are the biggest of either in the world, or can be (obviously not right when they’re born).

Are you fucking serious? You amaze me sometimes. Crocs have skinny snouts. Gators have fat ones. You east coast city kids needs some edumacation on nature.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
Without that clause (and the desire of the Mets to make sure it doesn’t vest on their watch), they would never have been able to acquire him.

July 13th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
You’re fighting with yourself on this one. Anyone who brings a young kid into a nice restaurant is a fucking moron. Even bringing a young kid into a Chilis after 8pm is a dumb idea. Our MO is get in early, and GTFO ASAP.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
More restaurants need to do this.
romantic joints, steakhouses and ultra fine dining establishments, country clubs, sure. I’m all for it. But don’t expect it to happen at the lousy hamburger stand where you generally eat your dinner.
If you go some place where the cheapest entree is 25 bucks, and there’s no kid’s menu, you won’t encounter any 3 year olds.
But if you go to Olive Garden or Burger King, there’s going to be kids there. Because they cater to that business.

This restaurant is about 15 miles from my house – wouldn’t have ever considered eating there before (now I can’t anyway with a newborn).
It doesn’t bother me if places want to ban kids.

July 13th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I don’t agree with this. I don’t have kids, and I don’t have a ton of money. But if I had both, why would I want to take my family to eat at some shitty chain?
If I want to eat at a nice restaurant and want my kids to come, the rest of you can piss off.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I was actually at OG yesterday for lunch. Don’t judge me. The wife wanted soup, salad, and breadsticks. I reluctantly agreed. Sure enough, a whiny little kid 3 tables over. Went on in spurts for the whole hour. I knew I should have went with Red Robin instead.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:21 AM
I’m not saying everyplace needs to do it but some definitely do, and a lot more need to have time limits as to when people bring kids in.
You don’t see me going to Chuck E. Cheese, despite my affinity for singing robots and shitty pizza.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:21 AM

July 13th, 2011 at 9:22 AM
rusty, once you get kids, you’ll realize that you don’t want to take your kids to a ‘nice’ restaurant. You want to go someplace where they give you crayons, and where the waitresses flirt with the kids and not you.
But the last thing you want is a place where the kid isn’t allowed to lay on the ground for a minute or two.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:22 AM
well yea, of course.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:23 AM
I understand this, but I want to enjoy my dinner as well. Now, we have to time everything such that we feed the baby, get him in the car (where he passes out everytime), and then we have roughly 90 minutes to order/eat/get out there before he could wake up and start screaming to eat again.
One of my most miserable dining experiences was about a month ago where we went to a Chinese buffet for dinner and my wife and I literally had to take turns eating a plate of food while the other was outside the restaurant dealing with a screaming baby.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:23 AM
our MO is to not take them out, anywhere but a mcdonald’s playland
and ndub, i need you to sign a waiver before going into alligator-infested waters
July 13th, 2011 at 9:23 AM
Did you have forcefully ridiculous and annoying conversations and laughter about how you and your work “just love coming here”?
July 13th, 2011 at 9:24 AM
Not at all. They already have a closer. Having him not finish 21 games will require hardly any selectivity whatsoever.
I’m kind of indifferent on the KRod trade. They already have a fairly established closer. The rest of their bullpen is sub par. While he might not make it any better, he certainly won’t make it worse. It’s just another arm. Mets are picking up a hefty portion of his salary too. I’m glad to see they’re doing everything they can this year though. No way they can afford Prince after this year.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:24 AM
If the Brewers have to deal with this problem, the trade was a success.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:24 AM
Prob varies from contract to contract, but I’d think the default answer is no.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:24 AM
I’m not saying everyplace needs to do it but some definitely do, and a lot more need to have time limits as to when people bring kids in.
I’m saying you can frequent finer establishments where children have been priced out, or that make no effort to cater to children and there will be no children there.
But if you want to start with curfews, what time do Mexicans have to be out of there? (look, I made a strawman!).
July 13th, 2011 at 9:24 AM
Yea…I’m going to be frank here. I’m not taking a kid to a nice restaurant in Philly or New York and don’t think they’re going to eat authentic Spanish, Israeli, sushi, locally sourced or prix-fixe meals.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:24 AM
Exactly.
If you have your young kids out at a restaurant (any restaurant) after 8pm, you aren’t doing it right.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:25 AM

As long as you aren’t a basketball player and it wasn’t in NYC you should be fine.

We’ve done this before, but the most embarassing was in Wilkes-Barre, PA when the boy was ~5 months old. Never been there before and went into a Thai place because it was the only restaurant we could find. Got our menus, fed him a bottle to keep him quiet, and then he throws up all over the table and floor. I clean up, throw a $10 on the table, and we leave before the waitress comes back.
July 13th, 2011 at 9:28 AM
Rest of their menu….
so, so salty. We went last weekend, because we had a kid, and ol’ preggo was starving. She didn’t want to look around, just eat food fast. It was 6:30 on a Friday in some extreme outer suburb of NYC, and there were probably 70 kids under 6 in there.

It isn’t that bad. I think a few father’s are just venting right now. Think of kids under five as one of your drunken buddies.

The amount of fat that Americans eat has gone down over the past 20-30 years. It’s the sugar and empty calories, along with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, that’s making us fat.

Just because everyone gives their one or two worst times, doesn’t mean every night is like that.
My war story… The boy was two and just got over a hell of a flu. My mother was in town at the time because I was back in Greensburg helping clean up after the tornado and she was helping the wife with the sick boy. I get home and the next day we decide to goto RC’s in Martin City for some decent fried chicken. The boy is acting just fine. Sometime during lunch I noticed a bad smell. It apparently had been smelly for awhile, but the delicious fried chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes and gravy had masked it. My kid had pissed out of his asshole and out of his diaper all over the place. Of course, he is acting just fine. Just shit everywhere. All over his clothes, chair, carpet. People staring and what not. It wasn’t his fault, but it was shitty situation.

I completely agree with this. I have 2 kids under the age of 10, and there’s no way in hell I’m taking them to an R rated movie at any time. Be a responsible parent. Get a baby sitter if you really want to go for a night out. It’s not the end of the world if you can’t see a movie.

I’ve never understood why women will drag their significant others to a movie they’ll hate. I don’t want to deal with the constant bitching and complaining leading up to the movie, then the weeks of whining about the movie afterward. Not to mention the movie will be brought up in every conversation with friends. “She made me go see this movie, now I’m going to mock her!”
July 13th, 2011 at 10:10 AM

STORY TIME!
So I go to see a screening of Road to Perdition with my buddy back in 2002. We got there late, so we had to sit in the second to last row up in the corner. Behind us were four kids (maybe 14 to 16 yrs old, guessing): three girls and one boy. You could tell that the boy was there trying mack on one girl and her two friends were just along for the ride. They’re goofing around before the lights go down and I tell my buddy, “This doesn’t look good.” He says, “Chill out, I’m sure they’ll stop talking when the trailers start.”
Trailers start and they’re still talking, snickering, etc. I think the teen boy is trying to constantly cop a feel or make out and the girl’s friends are all like, “No! Tee-hee-hee!” and shit like that. My buddy again says, “Hey, let’s see if they say shit during the movie.” Meanwhile, my blood pressure starts rising. I’m 21 at the time and felt like a ballistic missile.
TO BE CONTINUED…
July 13th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
I get the beeps being annoying…that’s actual noise.
July 13th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
I can’t help but notice the light which is distracting and those people generally then go the “What’s going on” route once they re-join the film…unless you’re a heart surgeon you’re probably not important enough to require leaving your phone on during a movie
July 13th, 2011 at 10:13 AM

I’ve never once been distracted by the screen of a phone in a theater. The movie screen is 10000000X brighter, right? It’s one thing if their phone makes noises when they’re texting, but if it’s an iphone on silent, the movie must be pretty terrible for you to notice some girl has her phone out a row ahead of you or 4 seats over.
July 13th, 2011 at 10:15 AM

mine was a singular experience, but there was a group of thirty-something women, probably about 6-8 of them sitting in front of me at the theater, all with their phones on checking facebook the entire movie. that’s 8 glowing screens 1 row in front of me. annoying as shit.

CONTINUED from 189…
So the movie starts and the teeny boppers are actually quiet…until about 20 minutes into the movie. Again with the giggling and the “no” and the dude saying shit like he’s a bad ass. “That dude ain’t tough” or some such shit. I’m digging the movie, so I don’t want to get up. But my buddy has to go to the bathroom. I ask him to tell a manager when he goes down. He comes back, says he told a worker about the problem, and low and behold, here comes a theater worker up the stairs. They get up there and…do nothing. They stand and wait. Now the teeny ass bags aren’t saying anything. Dude stays up there for a few minutes then leaves.
Five minutes pass by and the kids are back it.
Finally, the teen by gets up and the girls are being chatty as ever. I finally turn around and say to the head girl (the one who was apparently being felt up behind me) “Hey, shut the fuck up.”
She fires back, “You don’t tell me that! I’m a girl! You show me some respect!”
“No, you show everybody in here respect and shut the fuck up.”
Now I’ve done it. Ten minutes later, the boyfriend or whatever comes back to his seat with popcorn (probably for his “girlfriend’s” chubby friends). I can hear her whispering to him, telling him what happened. He’s silent for about five minutes and then…

i was once sitting next to some horrible woman at a super busy movie (LOTR-TROTK) who had her phone on, got a call, let the call go to voicemail (4 rings), listened to the voicemail, and then called the other person back to tell her something.
It was awful, but she was a black lady, and her date was a huge black guy, so I just sat there and stewed, because black people will punch you during a movie if you piss them off. Luckily, it was the 4th time I was seeing that movie.

He starts doing that “mocking your voice” thing, where they repeat something you’ve previously said, but either raise or lower their voice and slow it down so they make it sound like you’re retarded or something.
“You show us respect, DURP!” he keeps saying. And saying. And saying. Little shit head might have even kicked my seat , but at that point Tom Hanks is laying waste to fools and I’m not getting up. I just lean forward so my back isn’t even touching the seat. At this point I decided if he threw anything then it’s simply “go time.” Movie finally ends and my buddy and I lineup to exit our row. I don’t even turn to acknowledge the shit heads behind us, but that asshole boy just sits there slouching in his seat and says something like, “show us respect. what are you gonna do?” I whip my glasses off like Alec Baldwin in that SNL skit, practically lean over our row of seats so I can eye him down properly, and say something to the effect of, “Give me a reason, right now, to end you. I got no problem going to jail for killing a little shitstain like you.”
Kid looked like he just saw somebody other than his father banging his mom. And the girls all sitting with him were mortified. They didn’t say anything. They didn’t get up from their seats. They stayed in place until after my buddy and I got out the row.
Outside the theater, my buddy tells me, “I really thought I was gonna have to explain to your parents why you went to jail.” He told me I had a crazed look in my eyes. Which goes to show that you don’t always need to be a big dude to intimidate somebody. Obviously, it helps if they’re a teenager and you have a serial killer’s state, but I digress…
Oh yeah, and then I went and killed a family of raccoons in a very hilarious manner. (for KC Res)

Do you wear blinders during movies?
No. I look at the screen the whole time though, and not what’s around me. Honestly, someone could have committed a murder 3 seats over during Inception and I wouldn’t have noticed. I guess I’m in the minority.

He came to that movie to get some peace from the old lady but does she show him that respect? No. She keeps texting him of shit he has to do once the movies over.
