    Music Thread (post a song)

    Man, those were the golden years for live music. Imagine catching all those legends before they blew up, and for pocket change. The vibe in places like the Fillmore must've been unreal.

    Gambling Thread

    A successful superfecta bet brings guaranteed victory to the player. The website problem prevented you from placing bets on Arkansas which ended up being a fortunate event considering the racing outcome.

    Hot Stove Thread 2014-15

    I feel like the Cubs aren't doing enough to guarantee an improved offense. They're relying on young talent, and those guys aren't always on fire out of the gate. If Soler and Baez don't produce, the offense won't be much better than it was in 2014. In looking at the players' numbers for 2014, I...

    First post in a long time... Good to see some familiar faces. Are the Cubs finished?

    Yahoo! Sports seeks freelance writers

    Correct. It's relatively easy to get 30,000 hits since the stories appear on the Yahoo Sports website. Most of those hits come in the first 30-60 days.

    Los Angeles Sports Reporters/Writers/Journalists needed. Huge Site Opening

    I have a buddy who goes by the name JDV, and he may be the person you're looking for to get this startup rolling. His stuff is hot, provably, demonstratively hot. And he has some good connections with Mark McGwire!

    Yahoo! Sports seeks freelance writers

    I wrote 10-15 stories for this mill a few years ago. Back then, it was Associated Content. I received $15 an article and had a limit of three articles per month. I also received the $1.10 per 1,000 hits. But I didn't get many hits until Associated Content began partnering with Yahoo Sports. My...

    2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

    Ya. Sandy Koufax would have been average in the American League, right? If you're going to make outlandish statements, back them up with facts.

    AMC's The Killing

    That last episode was so riddled with stupid oversights that I almost want to find the writers and directors and slam their heads against my wall instead of using my own. A teenage girl could give a fork less about some politicians trying to cash in on a land deal. Buy her a forking iPad and...

    2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

    Jeter's career average is .314. If anything, Jeter's average is going to continue to fall. By the way, Pujols is a career .326 hitter.

    2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

    I'm not sure what the trends are with calling up young guys. It's interesting how teams view college experience differently. Some teams are willing to fast track a guy with college experience. Others seem to start those guys in rookie ball and slowly scoot them along. It can't be easy to go from...

    2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

    Albert Pujols was hitting .231 on May 3 last year and finished with a .299 average. He had only nine homers through June 2 and finished with 37. On May 3 of this season, he was hitting .202. He now has five homers with a week left in May. He dug himself a slightly larger hole this season...

    AMC's The Killing

    I felt the same way when I read it this morning. There's so much wrong with the show that it's tough to pinpoint some of the most egregious stuff. But Dan did a nice job of picking out some highlights.
