Its hard to translate Cuba numbers to the majors. Dayan lit it up as a 16 year old and it never really carried over outside of the power

I wonder if the reason they are underground is because of those lice/creatures that fell off the Cloverfield monster during the attack on New York

I don't have preview tickets because the movie looks awful. It's gonna make a lot of money because of the character name brand, just like transformers did. And it looks like it will be bad, just like transformers

a coach that wants unwavering power and a gm that has unwavering power. thats fun

I know the big reason people say Luke can't be her father is that Jedi aren't supposed to have romantic relationships. But was Luke ever told that? That "rule" never even came up until Episode 2, long before he was born. I suppose Yoda or Obi Wan could have told him but they never really made a point of bringing it up in the original trilogy. I mean, why would luke care or even know about this rule? It isnt like he has a Jedi academy governing him, he could get his freak on across the universe and not have any guilt

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 09:26 AM) I thought it was with you on the other board. Maybe not? Anyway, read the book if you can. It is soo much better than the movie IMHO. It's by Stephen King but he originally wrote it under his pseudonym "Richard Bachman". You can either find it as a stand alone book or in the collection called The Bachman Books (which also has another one of my favorite stories, The Long Walk). I'm not entirely sure if the book is still in print anymore as the ending mirrors a pretty horrific tragedy in American history. It gives a much better background on the main character and why hes forced to get involved in the games in the first place. The setup of the games is much better as well. The runners are basically free to go anywhere in the world instead of just being limited to a gameshow arena. There's also no sappy love story intertwined either. The ending is pretty dark but fits pretty well within the story. IIRC, we had/have a book thread in here somewhere. "Thinner" is pretty awesome too

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) OK no more prequel talk. This was a good thread and now the inmates are running the asylum. I know I contributed, but let's get back to the movie most people enjoyed as opposed to b****ing about 10+ year-old movies. Right. So, back to Snoke being Jar Jar Binks

alright got that post back on track

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) ??? I only see 27 pages, although my settings might be different. i believe the default setting is 15 posts per page. You must have bumped that up

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 09:00 AM) This thread has 176 your post makes it 177

to me 2 was ruined with the absolutely terrible romance between Padme and Anakin. No chemistry between the actors, abysmal writing, it just killed it. And i agree with end of 3 just killing it for me.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) You can add "when healthy" to any player with an injury history. What's your point? There's no way Dallas takes both RGIII and Manziel. No, you can't add it like you can add it to Romo. The guy can't stay healthy, he has broken his collarbone multiple times and has a bad back. If Manziel and RG3 end up in Dallas, there is good odds you will see one them play a lot

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) Yeah, that's not happening seeing as Tony Romo is still a top 5 quarterback when healthy. "When healthy" is a pretty important caveat in this statement

it will be fun to see Jerry Jones enable Manziel

They are filing an appeal, based on new testing. Should be interesting to see how that goes, considering that everyone is really watching now

I wish Kroenke got f***ed over in all of this. He truly was the bad guy

rabbit should post his own twitter comments and reply to them therefore creating forum inception, spin his totem, then convince Cespedes in a dream to sign with the White Sox

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) That's ridiculous. There is a huge difference between SS and the outfield. There is not nearly that same difference between LF and RF. Excuse me, but I must have missed where it was said that he wouldn't consider playing RF. He played CF for the Mets, so I just assumed that he hadn't played RF, because none of his former teams had asked him to. All you try and do is force square pegs into round holes because of "fits" in your mind. It goes back to wanting Grady Sizemore batting cleanup(!!!???!!) when the guy hadn't swung a bat in 2 years because the guy hits left handed. If Cespedes arm profiles so well as a right fielder, WHY HAVENT ANY OTHER TEAMS PUT HIM THERE? Let me know when you get the answer to that, I will be over here convincing Dexter Fowler to stop switch hitting QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) I don't enjoy switching positions for players, but YC does seem to be a perfect fit for RF except that he has not played it. Wouldn't you want him shutting off 1st to 3rd and 2nd to home ? I don't want a guy playing a position that he wants no part of. And I'm not about to force him to that position just because he has a good arm

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) He could certainly learn, if he had the right attitude. He is a phenomenal athlete, and plenty of guys, with less natural talent have done it. If he were to play LF, the Sox would still not have a decent right fielder. Cabrera doesn't belong there, and Eaton does not have the arm for RF. This is a big negative. I had been assuming that he would switch to RF, if the Sox were to sign him. I wonder if that could be part of the reason, the front office is hesitant. I dont know why you have been assuming this, since it has been said all offseason that he is a left fielder. I mean, he has a good arm, so lets put him at shortstop, right? If he has the right attitude, he is a phenomenal athlete, im sure he could make the switch and he could learn. No problem

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 11:34 AM) Really? For the kind of money he wants, he should be willing to play where it best helps the team. His arm would be much more valuable in RF. I'm beginning to not like the guy, if that is really what has kept him in LF. I really dislike "prima donnas". " What if he doesnt like Right Field because he sucks at it? He doesnt pick up the ball well off the bat and has bad reads? You cant just plug and play these guys into positions you want them to play because you think it makes sense

Nashville is continuing with their archaic "keep the Red out" program to keep the Blackhawks fans out of the building. Tickets can be cancelled without notice, and you can be asked to produce the credit card used to purchase the tickets, and prove that it has a billing address within their viewing area

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 11:07 AM) Didn't they already confirm that Snoke is a brand new character that we haven't seen before? Yes, and the Internet scoffed
