QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 02:09 PM) Deadspin responded to this article http://deadspin.com/what-is-the-value-of-a...game-1717963147 Do you agree with that? Seems like mandatory deadspin contrarianism, in that they believe in something only in that it allows them to take the opposite stance of an espn article.

What's next, gay marriage?

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) Who said we should? Keep smoking the Hopium....You guys are killing me with the snapback bulls***. Its not like flipping a lightswitch... How is this any different than now? Do you seriously think Russia and China would keep their end of the sanctions forever, with no plan here? There is an actual an actual international agreement here of ways to proceed. Yes, China and Russia could decide not to snap back, and go against that agreement. But they could do so today, and if they did, Iran would be much closer to nuclear capabilities than they would be in 2 years of Iran has cheated, as we would have already removed much of their technology.

Mine has plaster walls with mesh netting, probably going to have to get two modem/routers.

Teki Gill Caesar transferring. Just a disaster start for Kim Anderson. We knew transfers were coming, we assumed it would be the disgruntled 3 stars, instead it was the seemingly happy 4-5 stars.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 09:21 PM) Jordan Hill and? IDK. Fact is the Warriors winning the way they did is going to change the game. We would've seen this evolution a lot sooner had one of the Nash/D'antoni (bad luck/injuries) teams won. Yeah, all it takes is another 08-11 lakers team to appear and everyone say "We need dynamic 7 footers to win!"

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 06:36 AM) Better yet, ask Putin if he will snap back sanctions on IRAN......I think we know the answer......This was about Narcissus and nothing else....Ask the families of the Americans held in IRAN how they feel about this "deal". And don't tell me that had nothing to do with nuclear negotiations as this joke of an administration is want to do. The UN arms embargo had nothing to do with nuclear negotiations but yet we somehow caved on that too...I'm just glad we know who to blame for IRAN having nukes.... The sanctions snap back if just one of the five believe Iran has cheated the agreement. They may decide not to impose the sanctions, but they could do that now just the same. I agree though that we should probably have families of hostages to inform our foreign policy. Seems like a no brainer.

I'm intrigued. What if you could only loan to the other league?

Tough offseason.

ugh.

Right, but maybe he is. Real Estate transactions aren't exactly quick and easy, especially at those price points. I doubt he recieved word he's getting traded and was able to put his house on market before anyone else has gotten privvy to it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) So Noah is selling his Lincoln Park mansion. The real estate agent said proximity to work is his priority. Considering the Bulls now practice next to the UC, this is a bit confusing since he bought the home a year ago. Maybe he is getting dealt. Maybe, but going from lincoln park southwest to United Center is no peach either even compared to Berto Center.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 02:53 PM) Stuff-wise, multiple scouts I've seen quoted were not impressed. Good to know. Have not been excited by him since his ML stint, but he has been successful that's for sure. Sounds like he's not supplanting Carroll's role anytime soon.

apparently a terrible game all around today.

You can imagine how highly I held up Jeremy Reed and his .400 average

Ah, good times (manually writing these up because I don't know how to format) Age 20 Winston Salem (.253/.318/.320), 88 SB/19 CS I looked at that line and was DROOOOLING

Read on SCH that hopefully Daley can take over PP1 defenseman to get Keith more rest as he ages. Interesting thought, I used to love Campbell on the power play (and not much else). Lots of change next year. about 3 weeks later as it washes away I get home sick. Too much fun the past 6 years watching certain lines gel in the playoffs, the shaw/kane line in 2014, the TT/desjardin/Sharp line in 2015, every time in 2013 when Kane/Toews would pair together to save a series. Such a small amount of time you get to watch that stuff before this league breaks it up.

Reminds me of when I first started following the minors as a kid and thought Ruddy Yan was going to be the next Rickey Henderson.

I saw that, I was just adding my .02 on that entry point. Seems like a good tip for the die-hards on this board.

I have made a point to enter the park through Chisox bar and grill. 9/10 times the line is far far shorter than any other gate and they are much faster to get through with bags.

I don't care that Sharp was traded, we have to deal with that, I was surprised we had to give Johns in the trade.

So what to make of Drabek?

I have been reading/enjoying Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. Show has been decent, but sometimes I get really confused by show and then book clarifies. They kind of introduced people/plots in show for no reason other than they happened in book, but if you weren't reading book they aren't explained enough to know what the hell is going on.

Closed June 9th, have been painting seemingly every day for a month, and we finally have 2 coats on the master bedroom, hallway, entryway, living room, dining room, family room and sunroom. So we can move in. I also put fresh paint on the ceilings. Man, painting entire interior = so much harder than one bedroom You have no idea how much longer it is to paint trim/windows until you start on it. Such a treat when you can actually start rolling on the walls.
