James Shields
QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 8, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Sorry, it was a 1 WARP according to BP. He had a 3.57 FIP and a 9.1 VORP, making him our third most valuable pitcher last season. He had a .339 BABIP. He was unlucky. Sorry, he was very bad. You can throw various stats at me all you want, the guy sucked.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 8, 2015 -> 04:44 PM) Belisario was almost a 2 WAR pitcher last year FYI. He got incredibly unlucky. I don't care what you and DA are arguing about, but if WAR says Belisario was merely unlucky than its flaws are worse than I thought. Belisario was incredibly terrible last season, not unlucky

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 7, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) I still can't decide how I feel about it if the Cubs sign Shields. He would definitely make their team a lot deeper this year, but I think they can spend their money better next offseason for Price, Cueto or Zimmermann. Seriously, you shouldn't worry about them so much. It's kind of ridiculous. They affect nothing

It makes sense that the Cubs will get one after their renovations are done. The cell was rewarded when they put some work in

2015 TV Thread
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 6, 2015 -> 05:45 PM) Didn't realize the first season of Criminal Minds way back in 2005-2006 had references by Mandy Pantinkin (Saul from Homeland, Dr. Jeffrey Geiger on Chicago Hope) to the White Sox winning the World Series and also one of the episodes had a key plot point revolve around a 1963 Nellie Fox card. Is Shameless getting any better? I've departed from 2014-15 tv world for one week (we just started Chinese New Year's holidays) to binge watch the first 35 episodes of Game of Thrones. When you binge watch that show, you become very frustrated with the slow pace, but I'm still addicted and just ordered the first four books (3500 pages) as well. For a long time, I didn't really have a favorite character, but it has slowly developed into Jamie Lannister and Peter Dinklage, the Lannister bros. Robb Stark never did much for me, as Jon Snow was always a more compelling presence. At various points during the 3rd and 4th season, I've simply wished for those dragons to grow up a lot faster and wipe out all the kings and see what would/will happen eventually with a more compelling ruler. The Stannis/Red Woman plotline drives me crazy, as well as anything to do with Eyrie or Lord Baelish (I know, I know, that's the sign of a good actor, if he makes you hate him) and Lena Headey/Cersei. How many books are there? 5? 6? 7? Is it worth going back to the start with the books or should I pick up where the show's leaving off before Season 5? And didn't Guardians of the Galaxy rip off Groot from Hodor? Groot was first introduced in 1960, so if anyone was a ripoff it was Hodor. But I don't think he was

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 6, 2015 -> 02:40 PM) His efficiency is at all time high's. I think we need more of Taj and his attitude and toughness and not less, but that is me. This whole team has Pau and Rose's persona instead of Taj and Noah's persona, imo. This is what Laker fans hated about Pau for years (so it isn't new). Pau is extremely skilled offensively but he has a very "meh" attitude and is horrendous defensively. Butler and Rose also seem to have massive problems playing together. I still think the biggest issue on our team is Rose. We need a point guard to play with him or something cause he is just brutal and our offense is going to have some really brad stretches with the way he executes and passes right now. Its just ugly. Thankfully his effort and energy levels are increasing. We need more of Taj crashing boards and playing good defense, not Taj challenging double and triple teams. I don't want less Taj per se, I just want him to recognize when taking it down low isn't a good situation for him. He has gotten blocked a lot in the paint recently, and a lot of it is due to his mistakes.

QUOTE (TRU @ Feb 6, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) I just read on screen rant a few weeks back that Sam Rockwell said this was more of a kids movie and adventure story than a scary movie. I am glad the trailer didn't seem like that was the case. Yea I saw that too. This doesn't look like that at all

I feel like Taj is kind of lost in his current role. When he goes in, you can see he is all about "I'm gonna get mine". He drives into double and triple teams and rarely kicks it out, and it really hurts the Bulls

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Feb 5, 2015 -> 03:57 PM) It's not like he's a household name though. To us football fans, yeah we know who he is but show a picture of him to 20 random chicks and I'll be shocked if one of them knows who he is. It's not like he's on Micheal Strahan's level of celebrity among females. I don't get why people pay close attention to Super Bowl ads, I know it's a thing but I pay about the same attention as I do to commercials all year long which is hardly. I did catch that Nationwide ad and it was depressing, right away I was glad I don't have a pool and my TV is not that high off the floor, lol. Oh and Bevell, stay classy bro. I dunno man, he was on the NFL network, an ex football player, and on the "are you ready for anything" beer commercial where they turn some guys house into a pirate ship. I bet a lot more women would know who he was than you think
