QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) It's kinda odd how the show seems to be wrapping up. Tyrell is falling apart. The hack seems to be coming together. Angela is going to get her settlement. There's no way it all ends up working out perfectly right? lol you bet there's no way everything works out correctly.

Got Madden 16 on EA Access. New catch and defense mechanics take some getting used to.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 07:43 AM) In 16 ABs, Trayce has already been worth 0.5 WAR. His defense, along with the potential of his bat, should make him an every day start from here on out. Give some of the other OFs rest and rotate him at DH. That number could easily go down to 0 in the next 16 ABs. I agree he deserves a look and we should play him while he's hitting, but I don't think we should get too excited. It's too early and his minor league numbers weren't exactly stellar.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 10:27 PM) JFC... force trades/ignore budgets? Or is this not a franchise It's Diamond Dynasty, MLB The Show's ultimate team mode.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 04:49 AM) You missed bewbs. Good ones. I eventually found my way to that clip without even watching the show. I did finish the first season about two months ago though.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 11:28 PM) I think the bolded is a good comparison. I enjoyed season 2. I enjoyed season 1 more because of the cast, as I am a huge MM and Woody fan, but season two had its moments. And for those saying the first 3 episodes of season 2 were brutally slow, do you not recall season 1? Season 1 started off pretty damn slow itself. Season 1 was slow too. Slow enough for me to stop watching the first episode on my first attempt to watch the series.

I started working the market a bit on MLB The Show and I've now got a team worth around 150k (started out with maybe a team value of 15k). SP: Fernandez, Sale, Price, Archer, Cole Lineup: Cain (LF), Machado (SS), Votto (1B), Stanton (RF), Frazier (3B), Cano (2B), Bench (Catcher), A. Jones (CF), Pitcher Bullpen: Chapman, Betances, Britton, Storen, Watson, Furbush, Herrera

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 11:00 AM) I am still going back on forth on what is reality. Part of me even wonders if Mr Robot is still real, and it was actually Elliot in the back of the limo with Tyrell. This is what good shows do to people. We're unsure of what's actually happening, just like Elliot.

Mr. Robot was absolute perfection last night. That's one of the most well done TV episodes I've ever seen. The acting, the directing, and the twist were all awesome.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) WTF is wrong with them? They are just bizarre. A.J. Preller doesn't know what he's doing anymore.

That's an awesome celebration. Hopefully it works out for Trayce. We badly need one of our hitting prospects to pan out and break expectations.

Somebody made a really good Fresno Tacos logo in Diamond Dynasty. The jerseys they wore last night are pretty awesome.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 03:33 PM) I believe you. Simply not giving him black hair like Sony is probably most of it. The problem with Sony's CAPs is that you either have brown hair that's really dark or blonde hair that's really blonde. There's almost no in between. I made Sale with blonde hair, a brown beard, and a blonde mustache.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 10:53 AM) Tyrell is more odd than Elliott. Glad the last two eps have gotten better than the previous 2. Yeah he's a bigger sociopath than Elliot. I mean, who would have gay sex and strangle people just to move up the corporate ladder? Now that I think about it, he and his wife remind me a lot of Claire and Frank Underwood.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) I cringe every time they do a close-up on his face. I made my DD create a player Chris Sale. I swear to god, I made a better face in 20 minutes than Sony did.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 10:18 AM) Great episode of Mr Robot. Really curious how Elliot gets out of what he said to his shrink, and how Wellick gets out of his rooftop visit. The shrink stuff isn't that big of a deal. He can always threaten to leak everything about her. Plus I think he was trying to relate to her, and if she's as lonely as he is, she wouldn't go to the cops with that. Plus, there's always client confidentiality. Tyrell might be screwed though.

So Messi headbutted someone...in a friendly. Maybe the pain of losing with Argentina is actually getting to him.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 11:04 PM) First of all a 2.2 WAR difference is huge. Secondly, even with Bryant's offense going into the toilet the last 4-6 weeks he's still the 5th best offensive 3B in the game overall this season, and he's getting a ton of value from his baserunning. Fangraphs ranks him as the second most valuable baserunner in baseball this year behind Billy Hamilton. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...0&sort=18,d I don't know if I buy that. He might be good, but almost as good as Billy Hamilton?

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 09:44 PM) I have no idea how Bryant's output this season results in a WAR of 3.5 especially when you consider that Josh Donaldson is "only" at 5.7. Their offensive numbers aren't even close and Donaldson is the superior defender as well. That's a 2.2 win difference. Donaldson has around 50 more plate appearances, which is about 1/12 of a full season (600 PA). So a person who can output 2.2 WAR in those 50 PAs can theoretically have around 26 WAR a season. In other words, it's a big difference for only 50 PAs.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 02:18 AM) Read the followups on Polygon.com or the True Detective subreddit. I took a good 10 minutes yesterday to read it, I think I'm completely caught up now for the finale.

I have to admit, I'm really lost as to what the hell is actually happening in TD this season. There's an article on Slate breaking all of it down and even that thing is too long to read.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) Eh. It's not like they were making it out to be like all of these guys were falling in love with her (other than Cena and Hader's characters). Not unrealistic at all that she wouldn't have a hard time finding guys at bars to sleep with her. It felt like the film made it seem like all the guys did fall in love with her or at least wanted more than a one night stand.

I'm watching Trainwreck bit by bit and there's one thing that I found to be unrealistic...there's no way guys would be lining up to bang Amy Schumer. It's not like she's a 10/10. Hell if Bree Larson was the main character, it'd be a little more believable.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 10:03 AM) Horrible Bosses 2 was probably the worst movie I have seen in quite a while. You know a movie is bad when one of the outtakes after the movie is over has the funniest line in the entire movie. I got sick of Charlie Day and Jason Sudekis acting like bigger idiots than the first movie. That along with the fact that it wasn't all that funny just ruined it.
