Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

They aren't the first person to raise prices and then put something on sale. You'd still be paying less than the $119 it originally was. Or maybe $119 was the before-sale card price? The cards are free after all...

It's the principle of the thing, and just the latest in a long line of problems with the damn store that makes me question why I go in there. Which, I know why I go there, it's close, I could walk to Kroger quicker than drive to anywhere else. But that's not really the point, nobody made them put it on sale for 30% off, they just try to do some bait and switch bull****.

Other stores might do it too, but that doesn't make it right and I don't buy that crap from them either. Like I said, I'd rather pay Lowes the extra $15 before rewarding that type of shady nonsense.

You can't even defend the sale by saying it was 30% off MSRP because $150 is HIGHER than MSRP. BTW, the old signs never had any "price without card" notations, they just purely jacked the price up to try and trick people into thinking it was a better deal.

Hearing that a team can come back from a 0-2 series deficit just because some other team did it. Well, this team is not that team!

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Here's what has been grinding my gears lately.

Washingtonians. Seriously. You have a big group of people here who, having lost our own NBA team in 2008, think it's OK to root for another city to lose their team. I was just talking to a co-worker last night and we were talking about the Sonics. He said when they left, he didn't talk to anyone for a week.

I asked him if he was for the Kings coming to Seattle, to which he didn't hesitate.

"Of course, man!"

I asked him if he felt bad, at all, about wishing upon another city what we went through in 2008.

"Sucks to be them," he said.

I get it. I know people here want an NBA team, but how ******* short sighted can you be, clowns? I don't know... It just doesn't sit right with me. Lately, people's inability to put themselves in other's shoes has really chapped my ***. I loved the Sonics as much as anyone I know, but a giant part of me does not want another city and its fans to face losing their team... Yet so many Sonics fans are all for it.

Just doesn't make one damn bit a sense to me.

Looking for a job when you already have two. ScoobySnax made me feel bad with his post, but damn it I need an upgrade!

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When the sports media gives stupid *** stats. For example: "the Knicks are 0-12 all time in series when down 3-1, doesn't bode well for them."

How the hell do teams 20 years ago affect this team right now? Just dumb.

I could argue that what Seattle is trying to do to Sacramento is in a way worse than what you guys went through since at least you still had the Mariners, Seahawks, and Sounders to fall back on pro sports wise. Sacramento has only the Kings.

To be fair, it's not much, but they do have the AAA Sacramento River Cats, who actually feature some decent talent; Sonny Gray, Grant Green, Hiroyuki Nakajima, Jemile Weeks, Michael Choice, Michael Taylor...

Not a bad team by any means, even if it's just AAA baseball.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's "being fair".

Birmingham has the Barons. Trust me when I say this: having a AA or AAA Baseball team to fall back on doesn't count.

edit: I actually go to several Barons games and their brand new park is really nice.

Birmingham is a strange place. For years it's felt like thigns have been stuck in neutral, but here recently a lot of people are getting a positive vibe, especially after a lot of changes to downtown including that new ball park.

The city could definetely handle a professional team, assuming they could afford it.

The Barons kind of really suck, though. The White Sox have like 3 legit prospects and Trayce Thompson is the only player on the Barons' roster with a big league future. The A's farm system is top heavy and Sacramento reaps the benefits of that.

I agree that a AAA team isn't something to fall back on, but it is still a team.
