  1. QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) Per ESPN, no team with a sub-.500 record in mid-July has ever won another game. I know you are trying to be the reasonable voice, but what team currently ahead of us in the standards would you refuse to swap rosters with?
  2. I don't know what to do. I don't trust Hahn to do a rebuild not because I don't think he could get the best return (though I have my doubts) but because he has proven he can't sell the patience required to have a wave of young talent come up at once. I just would prefer we don't buy unless it is for a long term player in a down year we think could be useful later.
  3. That's the game you like from Grant. Valentine has been funny from 3pt line. Missing short short short, then taking 2pters just inside line and draining em. Needs the summer.
  4. I'm intrigued where night of goes: does it go to court, using the testimony for flashbacks? Do they start investigating independently? I can't imagine they box themselves in too much (court procedural) but I was surprised how much they focused on his journey to jail.
  5. No something is up. You don't see his mom the whole time. The lunch scenes looked more like a cafeteria. This is something with the unreliable narrator again.
  6. Was walking down "airline highway" with an assault rifle. Awful.

    QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 07:10 AM) The commercials and clips make it look like satire to the original. It wasn't. And after thinking about it last night one of the biggest was havin. 4 comedians that they treated all as equitable. Bill Murray was the star of ghostbusters and he shined obviously. This had Kristin Wiig playing the straight person basically (huge waste) while Kate McKinnon was electric but I don't think they knew what they had there and she was not given much at all. Script was really just a mess.

    Ghostbusters was not good. Too many jokes fell flat it takes you out of even the funny ones
  9. F-16s shooting down helicopters according to people I can't verify on Twitter. I don't think this coup will stick.
  10. All major Turkish parties now stand against coup in statements. Police apparently against military.
  11. That...that doesn't seem like a positive development.
  12. do we know if this is kemalist or
  13. I had a friend teaching for DOD base in Turkey that was forced to leave 2 months ago. You always wonder how much we know about stuff like this.
  14. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) So yeah, what are NATO's rules when there's a military coup in a NATO nation? Good question.
  15. I would too, but I'm more reluctant to move a big package for a CF that will make us slightly above average.
  16. Greg remember when michelle obama during the 08 nomination process when she was slandered as having a tape where she calls white people "Whitey"? When she was hammered for saying "for the first time of my life I was proud " of being an American speech? Was that not in the Youtube video?
  17. Is the market for RF any better? Please nobody say Markakis
  18. You doubt Shuck sustains that but are confident Jason Bourgeouis can? Shuck has been the perfect reserve OF for us since last year. He hasn't hit for much slugging but gets on base.
  19. Just realize how much Bernie Lincicome is going to love this Bulls team.
  20. QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) Any opinions on Melvin Upton or my previous posts? I still think he's going to be the most realistic target. I'm curious though as to how much salary we can take on. I agree with you. I really don't want to trade adams / etc for players that don't excite me that much and could theoretically upgrade over. Upton is like Liriano a few years ago. Flawed, but a veteran, short term deal that won't kill you.
  21. QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) Thank God for meaningful baseball again. The last few days absolutely sucked. Yeah but 9:05 start on a friday? PTTHHHHHPPPP
  22. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/nice Pretty good Josh Marshall article on this.
