One can only dream that this sets the market for Gavin pretty high.

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 09:50 PM) BREAKING: Royals acquire James Shields and Wade Davis from TB for Wil Myers and other prospects. Is it just me or is that a tremendous overpay? Either way, helps KC big time next year.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 06:25 PM) What's high up on your radar? Can be recent releases or older. At the moment my favourite foreign language films over the years would be (in no particular order): Goodbye Lenin A Very Long Engagement 9th Company A Prophet The Counterfeiters La Haine 11'09''01 - September 11 (Not so much a film, as eleven short films, by different directors, of eleven minutes and nine seconds each. It's quite a challenging and interesting piece of work) I thought Night Watch was a good laugh. Actually, there's a load of great Russian films, fecked if I can remember names at the moment though. What would you recommend for viewing? I really want to see 'Rust and Bone', and I've heard 'Amour' is great, too. Goodbye Lenin is awesome. Another good German one is The Nasty Girl, available on USA Netflix IIRC. Title not meant to sound sexual, it's a bad translation. 20 years old now, but based on a neat true story and the lead, Lena Stolze, is unbelievably charming. Real interesting aesthetic stuff too. Spain has a really underappreciated film market (I'm biased, as it is an area I am specializing in as I head to grad school hopefully in the nearish future). They've had some arthouse stuff that has been pretty popular abroad, ala Almodovar and Amenabar. Their popular films have gotten much better though, I am publishing a paper on Celda 211 (Cell 211). If you can get your hands on that, it is an excellent flick. I'd usually rather be kicked in the nuts than watch a prison movie, but this one is totally worth your time. I believe the Weinstein Bros. are trying to remake it in the USA, bastards. What's good around you? My knowledge of the UK film scene is pretty minimal, but I'm in the very, very early stages of thinking about graduate school there. All the good work in my Spanish Cinema specialty is being done in British Universities. Forgive me for making Ireland and GB sound interchangeable, too

As I said last week, all ills are healed by beating Green Bay

I'm concluding/continuing some pretty intensive foreign film study, so hit me up if you're interested in some good stuff from other countries. FWIW, Hulu seems to be the king of all-time great foreign films via their "Criterion Collection."

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 02:05 PM) I thought Kepp was supposed to be quite a bit better with the glove than Youk? Seems like no one around here has seen him enough to make a judgment based on watching him UZR rates him as a good 3B in VERY small sample size and more or less dreadful everywhere else. It could be that his best spot is 3B, the sample size is indeed too small, or both. I'm trying not to expect much.

We were the better team. That means you have to win. Two weeks in a row now.

Well, this one isn't over until the onside fails.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 03:02 PM) That doesn't seem odd to me, I feel like guys with concussions show up on the sidelines fairly often but they'll take their helmets away or something like that. Lights, noise, strong emotions, and critical thinking all have rather negative effects on concussion recovery.

Campbell looks okay.

It is just odd that they would leave a concussed player on the sidelines instead of the locker room.

If this is precautionary, it's in poor taste.

Cutler hurt?

Disregarding salary, I don't care if he is our number 4. Can't keep him at this price.

Marshall can't come through.

Second TD drop for the Bears

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) Why is a hold an offset for a personal foul. That is horses*** Agreed.

Cutler and Marshall, folks.

Griffith should be fined into oblivion

Thatta boy Alshon.

Lovies greatest sin has been the inability to find an effective offensive playcaller

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 02:04 PM) One thing I've figured out...when making a successful move happen requires 3 different steps...it's not going to happen.

QUOTE (Sox1 @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) Hahn has mentioned he is looking to add a bullpen arm that can close games as well I don't know about Marmol, but that wouldn't be a bad thing to add a potential closer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 02:20 PM) Jeffery looked like a defensive back knocking down a ball at the end of the game. To some extent I realize there was a tremendous degree of difficulty just to get there, but we need that play in this game.

Defense needs to get us points.
