Zika? They should be worried about catching a resistant superbug like the tuberculosis or getting robbed or killed. This is already an unmitigated disaster

as Brian pointed out to me, #KatrinaPiersonhistory on twitter is a goldmine

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 3, 2016 -> 10:13 AM) Frazier and Lawrie would never clear. Shields I believe would. That isnt necessarily true, every season players surprisingly sneak through and get moved. And who knows, maybe one gets claimed and the Sox are like "well, ok. Take him." Not likely, but could happen

It appears that WB meddled http://io9.gizmodo.com/report-warner-bros-...ss-i-1784760580

The way Marty's year ended last year, the comments after the win over the Packers in Lambeau, his previous team breakdowns, I could totally see this coming.

at this point the Dodgers have completely devalued him, so they probably just want to get rid of him whatever way they can

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 3, 2016 -> 08:08 AM) I really wish the Sox had found a way to move Shields and Lawrie or Frazier at the deadline. Ranaudo & Saladino deserve looks and they could have gotton two months of regular playing time had we just cleared spots for them. For a organization completely devoid of young, major league ready talent, here's two guys that will essentially rot in AAA and our bench. Neither are close to sure things by any means, but they would have been a lot more fun to watch than the veterans in their place. They have a month to get these guys through waivers, it isnt over yet

Well let's claim him and officially set this dumpster on fire. Who has the marshmallows? Let's go

I like Affleck, It just was a strange decision to me to cast a Batman that is significantly older than rest of the Justice League. I mean, he came out of retirement when superman showed up, that's just a odd thing to do. I was skeptical of Gadot but she looks good in the WW trailer. I don't know of many that found Eisenberg to be a good Lex choice(and interpretation). Lex has always been a pretty imposing figure in the comics. Even Hackman had an edge, a competitiveness about him with Superman. He wanted the power. I still just can't get my head around the fact that Snyder blew through three significant comic storylines in BvS. He put Batman vs Superman, Death in the family, and the Death of Superman in one movie. They still can part out Death in the family and complete it, of course. I agree with what you said about them deciding to rush to catch up to Marvels momentum, it just isn't necessary. We know who these characters are, take your time and give them to us. In the end, if both marvel and DC are making good movies, competition will make everyone happy.

I make no bones about it, Snyder is the bad guy for me. JS will probably come in and argue it later, but he is the KW/Hahn in my eyes. The choices they have made have been terrible and it's carrying over

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) No, I don't disagree with you on that point. I most definitely agree it was rushed, but that being said I still enjoyed it. I believe this was kind of in hindsight to "playing catchup" to Marvel at the box office, where DC kind of sat back for years as Marvel Studios rolled out films and gained momentum, they kind of decided to jump in the deep end in an attempt to get in on the action before the genre burns itself out (which they all eventually do). And this is what I mean by condescension from you Marvel fanboys, and it's obvious that's what you all are. I never said your opinion doesn't matter. I never said you had to love BvS. I'm merely pointing out how flawed RT is, and question why people follow it like gospel (as shown they do in this thread), because you know, it's a, consensus of hundreds of "critics"...and I put critics in quotes for a reason. See, calling me a marvel fanboy is incorrect and condescending coming this way. It's way wrong. I love DC and Marvel comics. i love Marvel movies, but DC has put out nothing worth my time anymore. You can dismiss RT all you want, I don't really care if you don't trust them. Critics are what you make of them, some people loved Ebert and some hated him. I am reading the reviews and what they are picking apart and it is largely the same complaints: starts out pretty good, Will Smith, Jay Hernandez, Margot Robbie are standouts, third act goes completely off the rails and is drags the movie down. Honestly I don't even know why you come into both the Marvel and DC threads and get mad at us about it, you have said multiple times you don't really like all of the comic movies and wish they would stop making them. I disagree with that too, I love this genre and while there are some stinkers, I'm glad that movie making finally has caught up to comics and allows them to be made faithfully

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) That confuses me.There is a reason they call it a warning track. How could he not know he had a ton of room? Yeah as soon as he looked down you could tell he realized he screwed up

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) Yeah no. Oh my bad, your opinion only matters. In my meaningless opinion, it shouldn't take a 4 hour directors cut for a movie to make sense. Seems I'm not the only one

Tilson thought he was at the wall and he had plenty of room

I hate emo Spiderman 3 but it was way better than BvS

Ok, enough of that

Speaking of gaining weight, seems like Rolando McLain got a little chunky

QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) Then LA would have sent Avi to AAA. ..........ok?

Suicide Squad is getting the business end of the critics reviews, sitting at 31% on RT right now. DAMMIT DC GET YOUR s*** TOGETHER

its gonna be as bad as the west nile virus, when it killed millions and millions

From Whitesoxdave FWIW I was told the #WhiteSox turned down a Benintendi, Kopech, Johnson/Ball, and PTBNL package for Quintana from #RedSox

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) Wonder if a Robertson/Puig swap would make sense for both teams? Makes taking the risk with Puig's contract easier, and the Dodgers could use Robertson. No idea if either would clear waivers though. I think Puig would have a decent chance, Robertson I doubt

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) How do you not guarantee Lucroy the starting catching job? No friggin clue. Apparently they wanted him to catch, play some 1b, and DH. And he wasn't about that

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) Be careful mods. If this board becomes like "the other place" used to be, people will just go right back to "the other place" Not really worried about that. But anyone can go back if they choose, we aren't forcing anyone out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) Cubs and replay is a total joke Dietrich was safe
