QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 04:56 AM) Maddon pitched to Goldschmidt last night. Cubs lose. OMG, Cubs getting full of themselves? Check. QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 05:40 AM) Fitting it was the guy who screwed over the Orioles who took him out. The baseball gods were not happy. Feel for Schwarber. Hope he's back stronger than ever next year. If he wasn't a DH, he certainly is now. Angry baseball gods, check. Goat curse, check. Kiss of death (being the overwhelming World Series favorite), check. Cubs are screwed. QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 06:25 AM) Schwarber playing out of position was absolutely a factor in his injury. The Cubs took a risk by playing him there and now they (and especially him) are paying the price. Same thing with Avi. He's not really an outfielder and is risking getting hurt out there. Of course, it's not nearly the same loss to the team if it happens. My friend (that is a super bandwagon fan) had a status "Who do we play in left now?!" and I responded Soler. She forgot he was on the team. Her boyfriend said they could have LaStella at third and move Bryant to the OF. I responded with playing people out of position isn't really a wise move and exactly what happened here. He responded with the fact that Chris Owings isn't doing poorly for the D-backs (he's a D-backs fan), so all you need is athleticism. But I love this thought process that the Cubs deserve an All-Star in left. A year ago Soler was god's gift to baseball and now he's not worth giving a shot. QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 07:43 AM) I also think, especially at his stage in his career, missing a year of play is very costly. He seemed unusually polished in some ways, but between not getting the chance to develop further and the rustiness that comes from the time away can easily make something like his high K% skyrocket. Makes me think of Avi's shoulder. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) See Jared Mitchell...although with Jared, it also seemed to rob him of some confidence and was even more crippling because of his status as a speed/athleticism-tools player. Or this. QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 06:28 AM) With a typical ACL/MCL I would say he would most likely be back as good as new and there would be no issues with him returning o thr field 0. However with the LCL involved this will not be a typical surgery and the outcome is uncertain. Hopefully, the fact that they tried to have him walk off the field at first didn't cause any furthrr issues. That's lawsuit material if he doesn't fully recover. I really hope it's not. Hope he recovers well. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) So three of the top four picks in the 2014 draft have had major season ending surgery. That is crazy. Rodon is probably praying at the altar of Herm Schneider right now.

Avi Garcia and Melky Cabrera breaking it open. JUST LIKE WE KNEW WOULD HAPPEN ALL ALONG.

THE MELKMAN DELIVERS!

Last year that's a strikeout followed by a double play, so I'll take it!

This is where having Frazier is great.

A-Jax looked like he murdered that.

Is this what it was like playing agains the Sox last year?

Avila! Avi was booking it.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) Some DCEU news: Wonder Woman has been moved up from June 23, 2017 to June 2, 2017, which is the same date that Ninja Turtles 2 has. Gal Gadot said that the film is dark. Warner Bros. announced two more DC films recently. The release dates are October 6, 2017 and October 19, 2018. One of those probably is the solo Batman flick, which has a completed script written by Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns. I really hope one of these is the Green Arrow: Super Max film, the script is online and it's written by Justin Marx, who wrote the upcoming Jungle Book film. If anyone wants a few hours to kill, check it out. Suicide Squad test screened and there is a lot more Batman then they're leading on. People are saying that the Suicide Squad reshoots are for action sequences and not humor. Someone who works on the set, said on twitter that the reshoots were mandated by the studio, not David Ayer. God yes for the Batman flick.

Ok everyone, focus the discussion on Schwarber's injury. Not on anyone's wishes or desires.

Since I just went through ACL/meniscus rehab with a larger frame, it's going to suuuuck for Schwarber.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) and I strongly dislike Arrieta. I haven't developed a like or dislike for Schwarber yet Yeah, but just pull for them to suck.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:12 AM) I think it will be a while before they make that leap, they need a lot more original programming Mostly sarcasm. ...mostly.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 11:55 PM) I don't think they're saying it's untrue (unless I missed that) and I don't think the Soros connection is the story here. It's more that the most transparent organization out there is being ridiculously critical of the biggest leak of our time when you'd think they'd for it. In fact it seemed like a week ago they were, which is why I was surprised reading their tweets tonight (from the last couple days). Wikileaks has either been overcome with extreme jealousy they didnt break a story right up their alley, become a Russian puppet themselves after securing Snowden's transfer or they have a point and these docs should flat out be dumped and released Wikileaks style. I don't completely agree with the latter since there is going to be a ton of personal data involved here but at the same time I don't trust the journalists to come out with this story in a timely and orderly fashion with so much data out there. They are releasing some so far but it's basically a grain of sand compared to a beach of documents. I believe there's a large release set for May although I'm not sure if that similar to the 150 we've seen so far. I'd much prefer they just vet documents for personal info then mass release as much as possible, letting the public write the stories. That'd be both timelier and would eliminate any uncertainty of the vetting of these documents. You may have hit another point on the head with the Russian puppetry. Through Assange and Snowden, WikiLeaks has strong ties to Russia and the Panama Papers rip Putin a new one.

Cloak and Dagger got ordered straight to series on Freeform (rebranded name of ABC Family). That is the pinnacle of Marvel gets to do what they want, when they want. At what point do they say "f*** it" and just make a channel?

Looks dope, but the trailer wasn't overwhelming. Loved watching Donnie Yen kick some ass.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:35 PM) So Wikileaks is claiming the documents were more or less being vetted by George Soros and company for release and are being used to target BRIC countries, hence little to no American involvement here. Wonder how much truth there is to that. I guess if there's one thing about Wikileaks, they are for complete transparency. Could be a case of jealousy too. I'm guessing you hit it on the head with jealousy.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 3, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) I have to say that while I love Little Caesar's Crazy Bread and Italian Cheese Bread, their pizza is pure garbage, it tastes bland and not fresh at the same. If you can have pizza that is uninspired, that would be it. I'd rather have a Jack's frozen pizza. Freschetta's rising crust or whatever it's called is actually fantastic, as frozen pizzas go. Last time I had Little Caesar's I had stomach pain for a week. My friend told me I needed to build up a tolerance for it. QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 3, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) Out of all the national chains Pape Johns is by far my favorite. Also love Imo's (St. Louis thing) Imo's is an affront to pizzas very existence.

Oh s***, hope Schwarber is OK. But I will revel in Lackey loking bad.

Last year those two line drives are base hits

Creating runs!

I don't know, them LaRoche boys up to somethin'

So does pop go for the 1 seed or rest his guys?

Rollins made up for it.
