Surprised Bryant stays 3rd

Re: age, one thing is that kids can watch those movies. They aren't particularly violent and obviously very little language. So it's one of those movies you can watch when you are young and feel like its an adult movie. 2) The whole mid-late 90s re-release in theaters. Lots of parents took their kids to those. Unfortunately it had all of those stupid extra scenes. It's just hard not to have seen starwars as it has basically had a theatrical release in every decade at this point.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 11:44 AM) Quality of the bullpen is fully controlled in this stat. It's about what each manager did with his options - whether he had his best guys pitching in the most important situations. Aside from a few undeniable head-scratchers, I think bullpen usage is one of the areas Robin has definitely improved. That includes the atrocious 2014 pen, which I think he handled with about as much grace as he could have. I agree. Honestly in game I don't really think Robin is bad (aside from challenges). But the baseball IQ his team shows is really bothersome to me. I think part of this may be the skills our organizatio is departing in the minors, but the inability to steal with fast players, run players down, not have your 1b constantly risking outs for great plays, etc etc. It just wears you down. They just come across as so stupid.

Probably worth checking out Reno in Logan Square. It is not my favorite, but they are consistently crowded and worked a breakfast menu out of it by doing brick oven bagels.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) Biden isn't hated or despised. He did run for president in 1988 and was largely disqualified because of plagiarism accusations at that time. He's a loyal foot soldier, very bright albeit long winded and a pretty astute guy but probably a bit too old now...and I'll say the same about either Clinton at this point in their lives. You need a younger candidate with energy and stamina to deal with the constantly evolving world today. I'd rather have Rubio than Clinton, Biden or Sanders....if he's actually able to free himself from the Tea Party and govern from the middle and propose a real solution on immigration that will unite the country. Yeah, Rubio is so reasonable. Remember when he was given all of the power in the world to provide the Republican Immigration Plan, immediately got blindsided by the crazy caucus and then denounced his own plan? That's the type of leadership I want from my President.

So US and Canada likely going total dynastic in their politics. Here's looking at you, Mexico.

Yeah or Xoco may make more sense for lower cost. Their milanesa is so good. I think I like it better than Cemitas Puebla.

Doesn't seem like AFL is going very well for anyone.

Jake Melnick's might be alright.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 10:35 AM) That's sort of the anti-Serial argument to begin with, right? Looking back at just about any event with the benefit of hindsight allows you to create doubt where none existed in the 1st place, and/or if it did, in context, wasn't as big of a deal as it now seems. Eh, I worked on the innocence project for a while going through lots of briefs. None were as interesting as this case.

Yeah I don't know. I think the interviewing after a win at the big bars is kind of a way for people in their homes to feel like they are celebrating. But the morning interviews are only funny if Pat Tomasulo is doing them.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 04:23 PM) Funny, I just saw it reported today by Jon Heyman and Baseball America Probably because it's confirmed, and the history of what had happened prior with giants.

Harbaugh is great at handshakes too.

I'd like to think we were a manager away from 87 wins. But, I know we aren't.

Biden has definitely shown he knows when to run for president.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) I'd leave off Magic probably. He's the "worst" scoring threat in the bunch. Jordan/Lebron/Kobe. You leave off johnson because he is the worst defensive player by far, but I'll take his 5 positions and distribution, as the team would do much better without kobe/mj hero ball.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 02:36 PM) The cubs are a one dimensional team. They can't win without the longball. That in itself isn't bad but good pitchers won't give you pitches to bop out of the park. What about this postseason has supported the thesis that home run hitting teams are worse?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 02:06 PM) Absolutely agree, you cant take anything for granted. I just dont think the Cubs pitching is the sole reason they are 0-2 right now, and you cant say that a pitcher like Hamels or Price( for a hefty return that would have probably included your current starting short stop) would have changed the fact that they are 0-2 right now yes, I think this whole "cubs need pitching" thing was just a pre-season diagnosis of the cubs that sox fans have carried over even though their pitching staff outperformed ours. But, for leading the league in strikeouts they don't seem to have those classic power arms that seem to do well in playoffs.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 02:19 PM) The 2014 Mets and 2015 White Sox are somewhat similar. Offensively and defensively challenged, nice young pitching. KW and Hahn get a couple of guys who can hit and catch the ball, another guy or two either bounce back or develop, next year could be a lot better than many think. They hit 40 more home runs than us and have better defense. They are absolutely our aim as a team set-up, but we need to get closer to average in power.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 02:32 PM) I leave Kobe and it's not particularly close, though someone else can probably better explain it than me. Agreed. But one, kobe/jordan is more redundant than LBJ/Jordan.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 01:29 PM) come on now, this team is set up to contend going forward. What is happening now is 100% gravy, not expected. Mortgaging a guy like, say, Javier Baez(who was the major name on the block) would have KILLED them right now after Addison Russell went down. Theo did a masterful job, sticking with his prospects and getting an arm like Haren was absolutely the right thing to do. If this was the end of a percieved playoff window, then yea, sitting back and doing nothing is inexcusable. But calling into the score to rip Theo while your team is in the NLCS as a wildcard team is just pure fan stupidity I agree and disagree. The cubs are going to be good for a long time, and this was "a year ahead of schedule". But, lots of stuff happens in seasons like injuries and random horrible years that can derail a season. Getting to the CS is sooo close that you don't want to rely on the fact that the team is young, because you aren't young for that long. Take it when you can. They've had a lot of good luck this year with Arrieta's run and good health. But, after this year of lester I think they probably will sour on Price signing. Granted, price in the NL is probably a 36 win pitcher with a .4 ERA. At least that's what it seems like when you make the switch.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 11:41 AM) I am not sure. The guy was a .259 career batter who only hit .167 here in limited appearances. If he was washed up then Hahn screwed up by signing him. I really wanted either denorfia or bonifacio this offseason. We got the worse one.

I was excited for this season after the first few preseason games but the defense really looks terrible.

The writing of that snl skit was really bad. I thought sanders was the best written material. Hillary's was the worst.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 16, 2015 -> 08:08 AM) http://www.thefrisky.com/2015-10-12/serial...-boyfriend-don/ weird. It's interesting but I'd want someone more reliable to weigh in. You read articles like that and realize, heyyy this is only a hop skip and a jump from the conspiracy articles that all mass murders are just actors to allow the new world order to take over.
