QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 04:45 PM) Michael Rapaport looks awful, should be a fantastic villain. Also love that this could mean expanded screen time for Dewey Crowe. I love Michael Rapaport. Him and Donal Logue always nail their various auxiliary roles on shows.

Trea "Burner" Turner does not sound like a #3 overall pick to me.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 01:24 PM) The first hour of American Hustle was pretty slow but the second half saved it for me. It was good but don't see it as great as some critics make it. Hmm, maybe I'll finish it then. In 3 attempts I've only made it through the halfway point, and then I just gave up trying.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 12:18 PM) Probably a dumb question, but I assume a PS+ membership is valid across multiple consoles, right? Yes. PS3, PS4, PS Vita.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 08:37 AM) F!! Forgot to DVR it. Wait, not on BBC America yet, just in UK. It was pretty good. Best part was "fans" of Sherlock running all these scenarios of how he survived the fall in their groups.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 01:28 AM) Hahn's next move has to be for a C or LF. Our team is pretty set for a while most places. Davidson at 3B for the next 5 yrs. Abreu at 1B for the next 6 yrs. Some combination of Alexei/Bacon/Semien/Sanchez at 2B/SS for the next 7-8 yrs? Anderson and Johnson coming too. Garcia in RF for the next 4-5 yrs. Eaton in CF for the next 5 yrs. We all know the catcher "depth". I think if we wanna win next year we should trade Viciedo, De Aza + for a really good left fielder with serious pop, or catcher. I also wouldn't mind just dumping Dunn by whatever means and using DH and LF to rotate Tank, De Aza and Konerko. I think De Aza is a very useful player in a lineup. I actually think Davidson has 6 years left, and Garcia has 5 maybe.

New season of Sherlock debuted tonight. About to watch the episode right now. If anyone out there has Netflix and likes crime, murder, mystery, detective, suspense, thriller shows, then you really need to be watching Sherlock. One of the best shows on TV right now, and nearly everyone has access to Netflix it seems, so catching up with only 6 episodes (90 min each), shouldn't take more than a few days.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jan 1, 2014 -> 11:26 PM) This sounds more like a jealousy thing more than anything not to mention chicken s*** for being anonymous. I mean why else talk s*** about a young guy trying to make a name for himself after he's been traded? I love the kids enthusiasm and energy. Well, I don't know if it's a jealousy thing, but I also don't know why a former player would randomly make this up. What's the point in attacking Adam Eaton with lies after he left? It makes more sense that this would be true versus it being untrue. But it's also just one person's opinion.

I hope his personality is more AJ Pierzynski, and less Nick Swisher/Orlando Cabrera.

Watched Blackfish for a second time tonight. Really great and eye opening documentary. Plus the fact that I know the niece of the woman who was recently killed at Seaworld.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 1, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) I do pretty well with my exercise and eating habits, but I'm bad about making sure I go to the dentist/eye doctor/general physician regularly. Had to get a root canal a few weeks ago and decided I need to deal with this stuff better in the future. Went to the eye doctor yesterday and was given two different prescriptions; one for reading/computer use and another for evening driving. Ordered some glasses online today. I've actually never been to an eye doctor in my life.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jan 1, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) The better you get at cooking, the more enjoyable it is to do and you will less likely to go into "f*** it, getting fast food" lazy mode. Keep at it. Stir-fry and crock pot recipes aka "throw meat and veggies into something hot" are easy to do, fairly healthy, and can be made in large, easy-to-reheat batches. I was on a chicken crock pot kick for a while back in the spring, and it was fantastic, but I ate it pretty much exclusively for 3 weeks and burned myself out on it.

I'd like to shoot for 50 pounds by years end, even 25 would be cool. But I also realize how incredibly lazy I am. My only hope of losing weight is to get married, because I don't mind healthy food at all, I just suck at cooking and am too lazy to make anything that takes more than 5 minutes. And the quicker the meal, the more unhealthy, typically. But getting married to get in to shape is quite the Catch 22.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 31, 2013 -> 11:11 AM) I enjoyed it, as well. I think Catching Fire was made more with the book readers in mind...if that makes any sense. I liked it better than the first movie, and I thought it did well to build excitement for Mockingjay. I liked both movies, I think I liked the 2nd one better. I just hope they don't break the 3rd book in to 2 movies as seems to be the trend now a days.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 10:51 PM) "Would we keep Gillaspie as the starting 3b if he and Davdison have similar spring numbers? Would you release him if both of them hit .400 in the spring and no trades wind up available?" If your answer to those isn't "yes absolutely" then you need to move Gillaspie beforehand, because the team gave up a fortune to get his MLB ready replacement. It's really that simple, if we go into ST with both and Davidson wins , right now gillaspie is gone. I don't understand this comment at all.

Lone Survivor was a pretty great movie. Highly recommended. One of the most realistic war movies I've ever seen probably up there with Saving Private Ryan.

Contemplated dropping Raanta and adding Crawford yesterday, but decided to wait until after tonight's game to do it. Great decision, and a great game by Raanta.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 10:07 PM) Vance, if Davidson is not ready for prime time, then we paid too much for him, IMO. I look for Addison Reed to have a big year for D-backs. I think barring an injury or just some historically bad spring by Matty D, aka Lettuce, he's getting on this team.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 09:02 PM) This is the dumbest argument in Soxtalk history. Seriously.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 07:58 PM) Your comparison is off, though. Someone - "Hey guys, the .epub of the new John Grisham book is now available for illegal download." Steve - "OHHH YOU THINK YOUR f***ING COOL NOW? GREAT, WE ALL HAVE THE INTERNET. YOU'RE A REAL HERO." That would be more like it. Saying "Hey guys, a new John Grisham book just came out" is akin to saying "Hey guys, American Hustle is out." I don't really get it. This isn't a torrent site, nor is it a site that discusses illegal torrents. There are PLENTY of outlets for that. What you're doing is posting that stuff thinking people will believe it's cool that you discovered µTorrent. It's funny you keep saying torrents, considering I've never once said the word torrent. I stream it off a website, a website in which I also have not named. Nothing to do with torrents. You are completely off base with your "you think you're so cool" thing. You are pulling random s*** out of your ass to try and call me out for, and it doesn't even make sense.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 07:11 PM) Get excited about the Hound. Nice writeup. I predict July on South Side. I like it.

Lone Survivor is now up too.

It's unfortunate for him that he players for a team called the Packers. His middle school friends will tear him up at lunch next semester!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 03:03 PM) Exactly. Tell someone who thinks it's cool that you've'e discovered torrents. No one here does. What is with this weird angle that you are trying to take to make it seem as though I think I'm cool because I'm sharing information in a films thread? You're s***ty attitude towards this makes no sense. Someone - "Hey guys, a new John Grisham book just came out." Steve - "OHHH YOU THINK YOUR f***ING COOL NOW? GREAT, WE ALL HAVE THE INTERNET. YOU'RE A REAL HERO."
