i cant believe its not butter
He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

Alfonso Cuaron still make the best cinematic adventure of the HP films.
But this one advances the character development far and away the best of all HP films.
True book fans are gonna bitch and cry “It’s not like the book!”, but you have to remember, shit people, there are thousands of pages in this series, and story lines are going to get cut. There’s not a lot of time in the last book for character development, there’s just not. Everything in Deathly Hallows happens so fast, so quick, and with so much haste, that by the time the two films are rolling on the big screen, we need to already be emotionally invested in the Harry+Ginny and Ron+Hermione storylines. And that’s exactly what HP6 does, advance those stories.
Alas, I wanted me some more Dumbledore, but he’s well and alive in the last book, if not through memories than through flashbacks.

Only one thing really pissed me off, or disappointed me, in HP6.
Snape screams near the end of the book, when dueling with Harry outside of Hogwarts, “DON’T CALL ME COWARD!” And this is not in the film. I think that was vital the story.

Yes, because Snape, as we all found out, was the opposite.
He was the only person who could have pulled off the job he had in the books.

What I didn't like
Is adding stuff. Also, some stuff was left out.
The “fight scene” at Hogwarts was not done justice, either. It made Harry seem un Harry like

I completely agree there.
I too would have liked to see more Dumbledore … and some more of the scenes showing the beginning of Voldemort (the scene at the Gaunt house, the one with Hepzibah Smith, the one when Voldemort asks to be the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher).

The only true knock against HP6 is that it relies much less on the actual story development and more on characters.
You’re right, for it being the “Half-Blood Prince”, we learn very little about this storyline. I think the decision to focus on characters, however, was essential to the grand scheme of the series. Because when we get to HP7 and HP8, it’s all mythology all the time.

Even in the book, he doesn't factor much.
Most of it deals with Harry’s lessons with Dumbledore, and the hormone-fuelled mayhem that happens in the character’s lives.

Yeah.
In the book, he fights his way out of the tower after Dumbledore is killed.
And then the battle was cut, to show Bellatrix Lestrange trashing the school.

Harry being at the burrow also wasn't much of a factor in the book.

To be honest,
I think movies five and six relied a little too much on the newspapers to show elements of the story. Some of the story headlines, particularly in Order of the Phoenix, could have been shown in the film.

If the DeadBirds are going to win, I hope it is on a high fly ball by Poo-holes to LF and
Manny jumps up for it and catches it but his dreads get caught in the fence so he screams and drops the ball and his mitt over the fence.
That is the only way I want to see the Dodgers blow this game in the 25th or 26th inning.

Dogs are very good at sensing when you are not feeling well

Sure you don’t want to send at least one of them to NYC for a visit. Alas my less than 300 square foot apt might make them a bit stir crazy but happy to take them to the park or river.

He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

I think this game shows you can't depend on other teams to beat
your division rivals, which means the Cubs simply have to do it themselves, which is more satisfying actually.

its all part of hendrys great scheme of having dero be a double agent

Kuroda vs. Lohse tomorrow
There’s another nobody pitcher that goes to St. Louis and is sprinkled with fairy dust and starts playing better.

lohse
was a highly touted prospect wherever he was but he relied too much on his fastball and didnt get a lot of run support

They’re a class organization (only second to the Cards in the NL) and besides Manny, have nothing but consumate professionals on their team who go out everyday, keep their mouths shut, and play hardnose ball. Not to mention, J. Broxton hardly sucks. I believe the stat that I heard during tonight’s broadcast was that before tonight’s game the Dodgers are 42-1 in games in which Broxton has pitched. Not saying that he’s been lights out, but he hardly sucks.
As much as I’d love a sweep tomorrow, let’s not get ahead of ourselves…we still have one more to play. Let’s keep the reputation of being baseball’s best fans, show a little class and give the Dodgers their due respect.
thats one of the funniest things ive ever read

A portion of their fanbase try to
wear this like a badge of honor. They fail to realize that every team’s fans cheer when the team does well and for the most part will cheer when another team’s player does something remarkable. In regards to their fandom, they are not unique in anyway…they just have been blessed to have an organization that has been highly successful over the years. I can guarantee that if they endure a long tenure of bad baseball, that attendance would wain and they would be less cheerful. Again, not a unique occurrence since bad teams tend to not draw as well unless you have something else to bring people to the game (i.e historical ballpark such as wrigley, fenway, etc)
They gave Holliday a standing O in his first plate appearance…similar for Dero. Again, a portion of their fanbase think they are unique in this regard. I can recall Nomar getting similar reception in Chicago, I believe Griffey got a similar reception on the Southside.
