He may not have knee injuries, but Love has missed his share of games due to injury. Back, broken hand, broken fingers, etc

Oh, you have seen more movies than me. Man, i know i am wrong now. And ignorant Look, you appreciate the medium. You obviously appreciate the filming much more than you do the films themselves, which is totally fine. But dont come in here and call me ignorant and show two fanboy youtube videos that you agree with and consider the matter disproven. What i said was not wrong about Snyder(or bay for that matter). These guys make aesthetically pleasing movies and almost completely forgo any actual coherent script in order to do so. You know what other movies were Jesus allegories? The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, and both of those were also pretty garbage. And they both made a lot of money and have allowed the Wachowskis to continue to rip off big studios and make more terrible movies. You can look back in the last 7 years of film threads and see that I actually was behind the Transformers movies for a while. But then it went beyond "well this is a kids cartoon and kind of ridiculous at that" and fell squarely into "Michael Bay just filmed an orgasm of explosions and inserted CGI robots and a Victorias Secret Model" I understand that Bay has been pretty good with creating camera angles that are now popular. I can appreciate that. I also took a class that went over movies like that, i can appreciate Raising Arizona for creating multiple camera shots and angles that were never used prior. But Michael Bay has yet to make a movie as good as Raising Arizona

Isnt that bye bye KD? I thought he was pretty happy with Brooks

pimp stache we barely knew ye

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 11:26 AM) I never said anything about "tanking". I just said that I hoped they'd be bad enough to get it done. They would never do it on purpose though. After this offseason i dont think they could tank even if they wanted to. They set the team up to be competitive. Not great, but not terrible. There would have to be some serious injuries in order for them to tank

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 09:29 AM) Whether or not it's true that I am "obsessed" with a left handed, middle of the order hitter is arguable, but not my point here. What I am saying is that a team should not have a guy hitting cleanup, who is completely incapable of hitting left handed pitching. Do you disagree with that point? I would actually prefer a right handed hitter, who could hit both RHP and LHP, to guys like Adam Dunn and now Adam La Roche, who are worthless vs. lefties. I would prefer to have Mike Trout, but the reality is we dont have him. Your point always is "We need a lefty hitter that can hit lefties very well" and time and time again you are shown that this type of person either does not exist, is not available, or is in the hall of fame. Adam Laroche is a capable hitter and he offers protection for Abreu. He isnt perfect, but he can field his position very well which gives him a step up from his predecessor. He is NOT Adam Dunn. And your obsession is not arguable. It is well documented, it is a fact.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 07:37 AM) ???????? Apparently, you find something in my post astounding. Would you care to elaborate? You are obsessed with a lefty middle of the order hitter. No need for you to elaborate why, i know. I have read it. Many. Many. Many times. We need Grady

omg lillian.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 01:01 AM) These two videos disprove that: https://vimeo.com/109950825 You should look deeper into at before you write it off. While he's not a big director to me personally, I would die to shoot like Michael Bay. His movies might not be Citizen Kane, but they are throughly entertaining. As a filmmaker from a technical standpoint, nobody does what Michael Bay does better than Michael Bay. Why do you keep saying "you should look deeper" "look into this thesis" and act like these directors are good at what they do? Just because someone wrote a thesis or broke down a movie doesnt make the movie good. Just because you think Snyder is an auteur doesnt make me think that his directing style is anything other that a dark lens and a lot of shaky camera for affect and long gloomy shots and booms. I tried to like Man of Steel. The more i watch that movie the worse it gets(which is unfortunate because it is on cable a lot). Watchmen is terrible, he changed too many plots points and it was far too long and terribly acted. Maybe you should stop reading thesis about movies and watch them.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 09:15 PM) 1. That's kind of an ignorant comment but I will say that based on the 1 minute of footage that we were shown, that it more like a Zack Snyder film, he's embracing his auteur a little more here. (Look up auteur theory) Again we only saw not even a minute of footage and all of it was out of context. Never judge a movie by its trailer, especially its teaser trailer 2. There is nothing wrong with Micheal Bay the filmmaker. Lmao, pot meet kettle. Bay and Snyder are garbage, all style no substance

Its time for pimp stache

So the Royals arent gonna have Holland or Herrera this week? Or is Herrera immediately appealing?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:46 PM) Friedell says he will be very surprised if Niko plays in game 3 or 4. Friedell and Cowley dont seem to like each other much, and frequently take shots at each other and contradict each others info on twitter(shots mostly taken by cowley)

So is the big boot into a guy running off the ropes gonna be outlawed next? I mean come on now. Both the punt and curb stomp arent really done, but that boot into someones face running full speed definitely has impact they just pick and choose weird things to focus on

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 12:39 PM) anxiously awaiting Mirotic news. Quad contusion, they are hoping treatment will have him ready for the next game. At least thats what Cowley said an hour ago on the score

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) I don't think we've seen the punt since, have we? He has definitely done it since then.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) I know there are many that disagree with me on here, but there's really no excuse for the Cubs to not be one of the 5 best teams in baseball for the next decade. They've made some incredible trades the past few years (Samardzija and Feldman deals) while also leaving themselves a lot of payroll flexibility going forward. I'm still not sure why they didn't go after Scherzer instead of Lester though, but I'm happy they did. You write this pretty much every three years. You thought Lou Piniella was the cure, and Pie, and Castro, and Ted Lilly, and Derrick Lee, and on and on and on. Every time they have a glimmer of hope you act like it is a referendum that they become good and win a world series

I dunno, the way that is written it kind of seems like a work. Remember when Randy Ortons boot to the head was "banned"?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) It's Flowers were talking about here. And while I admit I'm probably the biggest Flowers hater in the world, I truly believe he'd find a way to mess that up and he'd get thrown out...somehow. lol. I think even PK would have made it home with ease in that situation. Aviles wasnt going to morph into Bo Jackson

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 08:54 AM) I noticed that. They were playing shallow? Seemed like it was just going to be a deep sac fly. But with Flowers on third you catch that and make a throw. But what do I know. I'm just an armchair fan. no they were playing in, they dont have the arms for the outfield and the only chance was for a shallow fly and quick throw home. Where Melky hit it, there was no way they were throwing out Flowers there

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 08:56 AM) Isn't subpar hot dog redundant? i think subpar is being generous with the picture of that hot dog

IIRC Pachulia did a bunch of s*** like this against the Bulls back in the 2011 playoffs when he was with Atlanta

Snatched from the jaws of defeat!

Rogue One is supposed to be a heist/war movie about the squad that stole the Death Star blueprints. It doesnt get cooler than that
