Great series! So glad I don't have to wait until 9pm for their next game!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:01 PM) Jay Bruce is having a hell of a game. How do we get him to Chicago? Im sure the Reds will fly him here when it is time to play the cubs. Unless he is afraid of flying, then he will take a bus

I wonder if Gar will have his season ending exit press conference this season. None of the beat reporters that call in the score think he will

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 11:07 AM) I sort of agree. If it was a random "action" movie with no tie to this franchise, it would be a hard pass from me based on the trailer. But, it's not. It's the Star Wars universe. I'll see it in theaters, but I have my questions and doubts. agreed, but as you said it is not. They didnt even need to make up a McGuffin, they have an actual piece from New Hope that makes this story work. I am pretty excited about this thing

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 07:45 AM) Given it's clearly canon, I doubt that as Vader was in his full-on Vader suit at the end of Ep 3. My first thought was Palpatine, but that f*** bows for no one. BTW, I am totally down with some new canon Star Wars films with Storm Troopers and amazing visuals and a fantastic story every year. Disney is clearly all-in on their $4 billion investment. Thank god they wrestled it out of George's hands

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 02:42 AM) How come when a Republican is called a monumental ahole (without proof) it's entirely acceptable and I call Hillary something like that and am attacked and told to offer proof or else. you say the same thing every time you talk about Hillary, which is frequently. If you said it once and that was the end of it then it would be a different story, but you are obsessed.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) Sam Hinkie has resigned as GM of the 76ers. Makes sense. Colangelo was hired as Team President and he's most likely bringing in his son Bryan Colangelo as GM. I would have left to if I were Hinkie. Woj reporting that Hinkie hasn't even told his bosses that he is leaving @wojverticalnba Leaving the job and telling no one would be a fitting ending for Hinkie, who often frustrated staff under him with a lack of communication.

QUOTE (Doc Edwards Shot @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) Hey, it's the same franchise (SNF) that signed Barry Zito to his monster contract. They apparently smoke too much medical marijuana out there in the Bay... It must be good s*** because they have won their fair share of titles in the past decade

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) The rule is stupid as far as I'm concerned and there was no injury risk. All we are doing is adding yet another thing to use replay for (which I personally hate in baseball). Unless it can be pretty much instant (like tennis does with in / out or in baseball's case fair / foul), I just find it all absurd. I'm a big believer in the fact that over 162, things will even out and I'd only have replay in the playoffs, where one call can have a much bigger impact on a series given the smaller sample size of the series. Game is already slow, we shouldn't be wasting time on replay in the regular season and while I think they should minimize true take out slides, going in hard and doing what Bautista did was a totally clean play. I realize people don't like subjective rules, but the rule should have been more subjective. You do what Utley did, rule it an out, but allow guys to go hard into the bag (without really doing much to take a guy out) should be clean and it shouldn't be reviewable, imo. Every freaking close play at 2nd base will get reviewed because some minor technicality can get it overturned. Its freaking awful. And yes, I still hate the rule change they did for catchers too. No, no it was not. He reached out and swept his hand under the fielders leg as he was throwing. Citing the slide rule was wrong, that was interference.

Did the royals throw high and tight on anyone like they said they would?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 07:00 PM) Whether people ultimately would get behind him or not, I do not know, but polls support Greg's statement. He beats Hillary in every poll I've seen (could be one or two out there that I'm not aware of where he doesn't by some slim margin). It makes zero sense. This is like saying "this team that was left out of the ncaa tourney could have won it all". If they could have won it all, they would have been in the tournament

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) Don't blame you, especially when Kasich would win it all if he was the nominee. Weird. What does this nonsense even mean, the guy isn't even in SECOND in his own party. You think if he got the nomination all the sudden this wave of support would come out and give him the White House? You should stick to your Chelsea Clinton thoughts

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) I tend to agree with you, that said intangibles are more important at certain positions. For example, I think intangibles and ability to read and react to a defense are a lot more important than measurables when it comes to QB. A QB has to do certain things to be able to succeed (i.e., I could be the smartest person at reading a defense on the planet but my noodle arm can't possibly make the throws to actually execute). But how often are the most physically gifted QB's the best actual QB's, not near as often as we think. Of course QB tends to be the one position I feel that way. I view intangibles as potential reasons not to draft a player vs. reasons to draft a player (i.e., the downside of intangibles keeps you away from a guy vs. the "upside" which I feel is just gravy). No one would ever say that Tom Brady, Drew Brees or Peyton Manning were ever the most physically impressive QB's in the league, but they over the past 15 years, they were arguably the most successful. On the flipside, Kyle Boller, Matthew Stafford, Jay Cutler, Jeff George, etc were absolute physical specimen (even someone like Kaep is physically extremely gifted as it comes to QB's). Some exceptions to this rule are Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre, who clearly were amongst the most physically gifted and best QB's in the league (and Cam can join that group if he continues to do what he's done lately). That said, what sets the best QB's apart is there ability to read defenses, make quick decisions, and throw accurately (which is a physical skill). As long as they have "enough" arm, they will be fine. But the read defenses and make quick decisions are critical and even the throw accurately is followed by throw to the right spot (so not only making the right decision on who to throw to but where to throw to them based upon the coverage, etc). Hell, when you look at Brady, Brees and even Rodgers, they all got significantly better between college and the pro's. There is definitely a balance. He just comes off as a guy that would scratch a guy off the board because he heard one coach say that the guy wasnt a coachable guy, regardless of his on field results. Sometimes you gotta draft an asshole

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) Try disagreeing with him on twitter. I guarantee he calls you an idiot because you never spent a 1st rounder on Rex Grossman. I dont doubt that he talks down to us laymen on twitter, but I have heard him admit he has been wrong. Thats all i am saying

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 01:13 PM) He's an asshole though. He should be a valuable resource for the many young guys interested in the draft. Many people "scout" players and create their own websites and draft guides. Gabriel talks down to most of them like they are idiots. There are many Greg Gabriel's littered throughout the league which is why there is still a ton of antiquated old thinking that leads to teams being bad year after year. Greg Gabriel has never been wrong before. Just ask him. i disagree with this, he was on B&B this past season and they had him research names that he thought were going to be stars and were misses, and he came back the next week with a good long list. He does hold his opinion in high regard, but you have to imagine that it is an inherent trait in a good scout, to have a big ego about what they do. My only fault with him is he really feels that the intangibles are more important than measurables.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) Finally saw Winter Soldier...it was awesome. Was Ant Man any good? Looks horrific from the previews I had saw but curious what the consensus was? What did you think of all of the Rainbows and Unicorns in Winter Soldier

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 12:41 PM) So he never used it. He tried to use it. They built that up for a months, getting gifts from legends. What was even the point? I know, it was dumb that it got one whiff. But I would have been rather surprised if he actually used Lucille

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) They both suck. America's obesity and diabetes problems start with these damned carbonated sugar drinks. Just say no. Lol, you might as well just say no to everything at the ballpark

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) I wouldn't say worst ever but it'd definitely be in my top 3 worst ever. I hate how every WM they just have to give The Rock an appearance. They had an opportunity to give the Wyatt's a big reaction and they actually had it. The Rock complimented Bray specifically and the crowd started cheering, only to then revert back to the same old garbage in terms of name calling and making fun of them. I'm sick of hearing how he's a draw. Those 101k tickets would have been sold regardless and it's not like WWEN subscriptions were renewed for him. They really made Ambrose out to look like a p****. I understand that the F5 is devastating but for a lunatic who never quits, the match sure ended quickly. Do they ever let this guy get a big win, anyway? Plus, why even give him that spot on Raw where he loaded up the wheel barrow? Did he even use any of those weapons? I know the chainsaw wasn't going to happen, but he never used the bat or the steps. Nothing. They probably should have had HHH/Reigns on the pre-show. It sounds dumb and it likely sounds as an exaggeration, but nobody really care about that match and it's sad when the majority of fans wanted the 40+ year old boss to beat the young, "up and comer." If I was Ryback and Kalisto, I'd feel like s***. They cut out of my match for a Shane/Taker promo? My goodness. That Shane spot was unreal. I pretty much called it prior to the match yet there was something about that match that just seemed off. Shane got a Last Ride and Chokeslam yet he kicked out right at 2, not selling it, and those kick-out's and finishers got no reaction from the crowd. I also have no idea where they go with this angle now. At least if Shane won, he'd then have control of the company and could just reinstate Undertaker. Now, do we have to sit through the same old s*** with Stephanie and HHH every Monday? Giving Zack Ryder the IC belt is cool and a nice change of pace, but what kind of s*** is that? Will he even hold it for more than a month? About 3 months ago, the guy was getting decimated by anyone in about 15 second He used the bat right before he got pinned, swung and missed

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 07:02 AM) I was gona ask if that was even possible. Skipping AAA and going straight to the majors Sure it is, you arent obligated to hit every step of the minors before going to the Majors. If they think you are ready, then you come up from whatever level you are at

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 07:43 AM) The Bull aren't playing for a draft pick. They're still playing for a playoff spot.... and truthfully, there is only 5 games left and they are right at .500. There really isnt going to be a huge draft pick slot swing that is affected by their play
