I'm loving this draft overall. They're picking the toolsy, high-ceiling guys who they can develop. I'll take that every day over the safe picks. And it's definitely been a trend over the past couple years that they pick the big bodied guys, especially the pitchers.

It's a tough call. The Cubs could have some guys coming up, but they'll also likely trade away anything valuable, plus there is no guarantee their prospects will actually play well right away. Probably between them and the Padres.

It's hard enough finding the time to work out, then I have to add in a 2 hour movie before my workout? I guess I wasn't clear enough. It's moreso an argument about what movie you see on TV or something along those lines that motivates you to go workout.

Having a discussion with my friend about the best movie pre-workout: 300, Warrior, and Never Back Down top my list. Any of the Rocky movies are also a given.

It's remarkable how hot the Kings have gotten. Wow.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 10:33 AM) Agree with all of this post. In fact, I think I liked it better than Avengers, in terms of overall experience. I wouldn't go that far. Avengers was incredible.

The month of May wasn't too good to Snodgress. He was 0-2 with a 7.50 ERA, allowing 20 earned runs in 24 innings over 5 starts. 40 K to 29 BB on the season. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...&pid=607087

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) Wonder how far Smoral does end up dropping...? Has to be signability, right? He went to the Blue Jays at 50.

Blue Jays winning too.

So we've drafted Matt Kemp and Ryan Howard? Nice.

Another high schooler, and it's not a pitcher. Wow.

Smoral is there. We're up.

13-0, 0.18 ERA, 140 K in 78 innings. LAWLZ.

Astros = win.

Holy s***, Watson's breaking ball is filthy.

MIBIII exceeded my expectations but quite a bit. Josh Brolin is awesome. And it had just enough funny in it to break up the action. The ending was spectacular in my opinion.

Kentucky b****ed up a monstrous storm about not being a host venue and having to go to Gary, IN. It pleasures me GREATLY to see them lose to Kent State twice and get bounced out of the tournament. Speaking of Kent State, that team is legit. Deep pitching, some good hitting, and they own the nation's longest winning streak, which I believe is now at 20.

Thinking I'll go catch a few movies tomorrow since I have some time off. MIBIII, Avengers (for the 2nd time), Battleship, The Dictator...need to choose.

Watching J. Edgar right now. Really odd movie. And the makeup is kinda awful.
