QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) Right, but if Kane stays healthy for the whole season then I think he could easily surpass his point total from last year. And honestly, this year's rookie class is so much more appealing than last year's, I wouldn't be surprised if Panarin can get more than 34. Well I wouldn't be surprised either, hence my guess, lol. But I'm just not willing to go so far as to say they will EASILY reach 100 points together. I think it's certainly possible though. But anyway, semantics and s***.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 10:39 AM) Considering Kane had 64 points last year in just 61 games, I think them combining for 100 will be easy. Of course, injuries can happen, but let's hope they don't. Well, I was just basing that on Panarin needing 34 points, and the Calder Cup winner last year putting up 39 points. So if it happens, Panarin is basically going to be a finisher for the Calder Cup, which at this point obviously looks good, but who knows what could happen.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) Kane with 5 points (3 G, 2 A) in 3 games, Panarin with 3 (2 G, 1 A). With Kane playing on a line with Artemi and Artem, I think he can have a 100 point season if he stays healthy. I don't know about 100 from just Kane, but I did tweet yesterday a prediction that Kane and Panarin will COMBINE for 100 points this season. They work together beautifully.

QUOTE (Real @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 02:55 PM) nice name. assuming you like hot peppers... what's your favorite super hot chili? It's actually because I used to work at Chilis, and employees are nicknamed "Chiliheads". But I do also love spicy things, and I love chili. No idea what to call any type of chili though. Spicy chili? lol.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 12:12 PM) I don't think I've ever tuned in to 890 before in my life. It's all my parents listen to on the radio, and my grandma has about 5 or 6 radios placed around her house, always playing WLS, 24 hours a day. She even leaves them on while she is gone because she thinks it will make people think someone is home. I'm VERY familiar with the station. lol.

QUOTE (SnB @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 07:25 AM) Yeah, me too. My brother and I always had a blast playing against the bots in the old battlefront. I just don't get to play videogames much anymore and online is usually too difficult of a learning curve. I want an open world Star Wars game. Make it Far Cry Star Wars if you must, whatever, just give me open world and a big story. Leave online mode for the "when I'm bored" stage of the game.

Ok, the giant 20v20 Hoth battles are actually a lot more fun. You can get inside the turrets, which is fun, but best of all, you get to fly the X and Y wings, you can fly the Tie-Intercepters, control the AT-AT, AT-ST, and even play as Darth Vader. You only get like a certain time limit on these things, so it gives everyone a shot. Of course when I controlled Vader, I didn't know what I was doing and didn't see a single enemy for the entire 60 seconds, which is HARD to do in 20v20. Plus, you have to be up close to someone to do anything, so people just avoid you. Controlling the giant AT-AT was the coolest though.

Battlefront is pretty cool, but I don't know if it's going to be a purchase for me....lack of campaign blows. I know I'm going to get sick of this Star Wars Call of Duty after a couple weeks. Maybe I just need to try some other game modes, but I am doing a "capture the flag" type thing and it's just alright.

Battlefront Beta downloading right now. It's a little under 8 GB, yet I have 15 more hours to wait!!! I hate my f***ing WiFi..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) It's game 1, guys. Tell that to Trevor Noah after 1 episode of the Daily Show! Make up your mind!!!!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) I like the 1 game format. The 1 game format is exciting for fans of the other 28 teams, horrible for the 2 fanbases and teams involved. Pirates won 98 games and get kicked out in just 1 game.

Well then, Gotham went ahead and squashed a bunch of rumors and speculations there, didn't they?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) Exactly what I was thinking. Its hard not to trust them because I loved the last 2 games, but the lack of weapons worries me. Some of the most fun you can have is freeing outposts with silenced sniper rifles. Yep, exactly. Silenced sniper from quarter mile away was my specialty. I'm guessing there will be some sort of long-range bow, but that's going to be SOOO much harder. Maybe rock catapults or something? lol, no idea.

Far Cry Primal announced today. February release date. Not sure what to think. I LOVE the Far Cry series, so I trust them, and a game in the Stone Age sounds pretty cool and completely unique...... HOWEVER. Lack of guns and vehicles are going to make them have to be extremely clever and creative with making the game fun anyway. Maybe some sort of "Tarzan" type s*** where you can slide down elongated branches? Some way to make traveling faster than just running through a forest.

Imagine being the Dodgers owner. Great team, and STILL nobody wants to watch them. At least the Sox know how to solve their TV ratings.....WIN.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) Right, though it is fun to think about a defensive OF of Eaton-Thompson-Heyward. Death to fly balls. Seriously, after seeing how BAD our defense was this year, I would really be curious to see us just LOAD UP on defensive talents and see how much better our pitching staff really becomes. Acquire someone like Kevin Pillar for CF. Have Eaton-Pillar-Thompson in the OF. Put Saladino at 3B, acquire Hech from the Marlins and have him play SS, or take Simmons from the Braves. Leave Carlos Sanchez at 2B. This team would continue to suck at scoring runs, but our defense and pitching would be other worldly.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) Arrieta is beyond due to get shelled. Looking forward to this thread being closed Wednesday night Just wait until they sign Johnny Cueto this offseason.

It should be mentioned, that Shaw dangle was beautiful, but Pat Foley's line of "Shaw dances with the Stars!" was even better. Top notch, Pat.

I was at the Sox game today, and my buddy and I were scoreboard watching the entire time (and fantasy football watching). It was a cold miserable game, but the Sox lost and the M's won!!! Oh my god I was so, so happy. So happy that the Cowboys and my Fantasy team losing didn't even ruin my Sunday.

A's won. Someone take this season out back it shoot it in the f***ing face. We can't even lose properly......bunch of c***s.

Marcus f***ing Semien hits a 2-run HR and "probably" knocks us out of a protected pick, which SHOULD weigh heavily on Hahn's decision to sign any major free agent. FAN f***ING TASTIC I HATE THIS f***ING SEASON, PLEASE KILL ME NOW.

Through 3 episodes, I really enjoy The Bastard Executioner.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 02:39 PM) So thats at least better. Nothing drove me crazier than that. Yeah, I don't even know what channel any of the HD channels are except for CSN. I just type in 2, 5, 6, 7, whatever and it automatically goes to the HD channel. No more of the "press OK to view in HD" like the old system had.

Right now we are .5 games out of a protected pick, which would just be a gigantic kick to the nuts if we manage to screw that all up. "Good news" is that we hold the tie-breaker over the Mariners, so god forbid they lose tonight and we go 1 game back, we still have a chance to tie them up with a loss tomorrow and a Mariner's win. Or they just win this damn game in the 11th right now and we can just hope for EITHER a Sox loss or an M's win tomorrow.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 10:24 AM) Yeah. I was so angry too that they made me return my box when I moved, but this thing is awesome. I love how the back button shows you an option of the last 5 places you've been, including recorded/on demand shows. Yeah, we got it back in April and it's so, so nice. I go to someone's house who is on the old platform and it's so painful to navigate and look at. Did you get the new X1 remote yet? We got our a couple months ago and it's even better. The voice recognition is pretty flawless, I've never seen it get a word I've said wrong, and the "illumination-on-movement" buttons is a very nice touch. I always had to turn the remote toward the TV to read some of the keys. It lighting up when you grab it is beautiful.
