i thought aronofski hamfisted it, which isn't a surprise. He could have relied on Portman's great performance to merely show she was turning into the blackswan character...he had to actually show us HEY HEY GUYS DO YOU GET IT SHE'S TURNING INTO THE SWAN!? SEE THE FEATHERS!!! That and the script he wrote was just so obviously written by a dude. That mom-daughter relationship was just boring.

Brent Morel projection
QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 09:12 PM) Same here. I'm thinking more like .235-.250/.290-.310/.390+ and as a strong defensive player with some pop and good speed making the league minimum, that's good enough. He's also backed so deeply at 3B (Dayan, Omar, Brent, Teahen) that we shouldn't be hurt if he really struggles out of the gate and needs to be demoted. I wouldn't even call 3B a position of weakness actually because we've got so much D and flexibility there. I think he can hit .250. My slugging was high though, likely.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) Reasonable? Not many rookies are going to hit .291 in there first season (I'm not even going to count that brief cup of coffee he got last year). I find those projections pure crapola. I hope they are true, but probably pure crap. I agree. I'll be happy with .250/.300/450

Chicago Mayoral Race thread
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 18, 2011 -> 11:02 PM) This irritates me - not your post, but this topic. For any given person on any given election in Chicago, once every two years or so, maybe once a year at most... you have zero to 8 Constitutional offices and maybe zero to 10 local offices to vote for. Why is it so beyond people to spend a f***ing hour once a year to make an intelligent decision about who represents them in government? I mean, I get that with judges and water commissioners, there is little or no info available. Fine, on those, use party or whatever. But your alderman? State rep? State Senator? It is just so frustrating to me that 99% of voters know nothing about these people. You are GIVING away your freedoms and rights by not paying attention. I'd add on something to this, we have too many offices that are voted in. Judges being the dumbest.

Chicago Mayoral Race thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 18, 2011 -> 06:57 PM) You don't think the city deals with that issue? Jesus Christ, my point is that unlike state and national politics you can really vote for an individual over voting for a party, and it matters. Do people at the city level do social welfare programs? Yes. But that has nothing to do with my point that the national parties are not informative at the city level. They are much more informative when there is a traditional legislature/executive set up.

Chicago Mayoral Race thread
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2011 -> 06:29 PM) You can't get economy, such as tax versus budget cuts out of parties? honestly, I just find that really simplistic when dealing with a city. "I'm going to cut taxes and budgets" vs "i'm going to improve social welfare and raise taxes", I really see a lot more over land management which REALLY is obscured in the two national party identities. You can have a few easy identifiers like more green parks vs. more retail space, but i don't often see that. Rent control/parking regulations/ etc. I really haven't seen consistency in the parties at this level. I'm not saying that there aren't ideological differences at the municipal level, but that you could create two new parties, find people that generally fit in either, that really don't fit that well into that national party identity.
