I really hope rei is not related to Luke or leia. Just let her be an anomaly. That the force is some hereditary gene would be lame as hell. Grow the world.

It's really hard watching your basketball program disintegrate so quickly before your eyes.

But seriously, R2D2 suddenly waking up to show the other bit of the map? That screamed "oh s*** ... How do we end this?"

I had great fun. It looked beautiful. But aside from Steves complaints... That last 15 minutes was some serious crap writing. I hated the daytime soap style cliff hanger, I'd rather they never got to Luke. The perspective added of storm troopers not being faceless henchmen added a lot, but Abrams with two franchises now has added basically zero to the world building of the franchise. We saw x number of planets and none are presented in a way that adds any interest in how this galaxy works. It's just scenery. I hope that changes in the next few. Overall, I just can't stand how they took so many easy outs on the script.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 01:20 PM) Still think he ends up with Angels The mets were so sure he was going to be too expensive,at what point do they call in

Listening to both Hahn interviews now. One thing I kind of want to know is do GMs just call around and see in general what prospects other teams like of theirs to call in for three team deals. That piece on the Dodgers saying they could get Frazier was so interesting, I wonder if we call them to bring them in or are just talking to them about their players and it comes up.

Jon Heyman Verified account ‏@JonHeymanCBS Adam Ottavino and rockies agree on $10.4M, 3-yr extension. Straight deal, no options. All Bases Covered agency did deal. Nice find ss2k5

Looking like Bulls would not be a great fit as Lawson definitely wants to be moved to a place where he can start. I wonder if NYK will bite?

I wonder if Sox were in on him at all. I'm guessing lots were interested but he may have wanted a place where he saw the rotation fit.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) Pitching also seems to be the most inflated asset at the deadline. Unless it's a white sox pitcher.

Ugh I would have loved that deal.

Adrian Woj saying Rockets looking to deal lawson. I would really love to know price and see if Bulls could be in play. Our backcourt is so thin and weak right now.

Well, Unless you are retiring next year I wouldn't really worry about this marginal slump from oil is doing anyway. But if you'd like to invest in it returning, SS2K5's idea is one worth looking into. I don't really understand oil and I feel like a lot of people do so I try to stay away from it.

Audiolab always does a good job.

Classic sentimentality clause.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) No. The only thing were actually basing all of this off of is Phillips tweet last night about switching area codes and a plane next to it. I love the modern world.

Is there word of the actual packages?

You are a parody.

Enjoy AJ Ricker back, he was truly awful at Missouri.

Glad for Nate. Felt horrible for him when he seemed to be on the verge of a dream job as closer only to lose 2 years to injury.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 09:21 AM) Honestly I'm not sure that's the point of the podcast. I was wrong. I think this was the point of the podcast. I am deeply bored with season. I honestly think this would have been a pretty decent 1 hour episode of This american life, but at 12-14 episodes there is no real intrigue here. You have taliban openly lying, his fellow soldiers telling you the truth as is enough "he left willingly and risked our lives" and his bogus story. There's none of the "everyone kind of telling the truth but we can't find the exact truth" of serial season 1.

I can't tell if Bucket is serious or if he was just stating something vague and obvious. He's so cool.

No one man should have all that power.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) I'll be seeing it tomorrow night at 11:30pm, so technically when I get home I'm allowed to post. This is not the thread you are looking for.
