    QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 03:51 PM) And as long as Marvel continues to release quality movies I don't get the complaint. I have 0 faith that WB will make quality films with the DC characters but I just won't see those so it doesn't impact me at all. All comic book movies are the same.

    QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 03:16 PM) Does that mean all the actors are in for those two movies? If we're talking Infinity War, my guess is that it's being shot as one film.

    Marvel just declared ownership of Hollywood for the foreseeable future.
  4. Worth noting: I'd be fine with 5 lefties in the rotation because Sale, Quintana and Buehrle all throw drastically different games. Then you have Rodon who could be another ace.
  5. I just don't want him on any AL Central team, the Yankees, Red Sox or Cubs.
  6. Damn. May he rest in peace.
  7. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 11:45 PM) One of these days you will give credit to the 05 Sox rotation for being so good, instead of just using it as excuse to praise Ozzie. QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 02:35 AM) The main reason I bring it up is to not glorify Oz any more but to point out the insanity of baseball. Managers won't let these pitchers go deep into games at all. It's ruining baseball. Every pitch was a crucial pitch in the third fricking inning. There's no rhythm to the games. A game in an NL park goes 4 fricking hours tonight? Like I said, I wouldn't have been surprised had Vargas been pinch hit for in the third. Ridiculous. I contrast it to Ozzeroo who let our guys FINISH f***ing games heaven forbid. Greg, Ozzie did let them finish, but the '05 staff was on cruise control in the playoffs. Ozzie didn't pull them because it didn't make sense. They're pitch counts weren't high, opponents weren't hitting them, etc. That being said, I do see where Greg is coming from to a degree.
  8. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 12:32 AM) Uh, Jordan Danks is probably the best defensive OF in our entire system.... Don't let his overall defensive metrics fool you. For some reason he has been terrible in LF/RF in his career in the majors, but legendary in CF. In 2012, he only played 84 innings in CF, but of all majors leaguers who logged 80+ innings in CF, Danks had the best UZR/150 with Anthony Gose at 54.9. The next guy had 42. This season he was 14th in UZR/150 with 16.4. Eaton was 34th, at -3.8. Obviously Danks is only working with really small sample sizes, but while he was in our minor leagues, he annually was considered our best defensive OFer. The dude has crazy range and instincts in CF. It's a shame the bat never caught up to D2's glove. He'd have a couple GGs.
  9. Damn Royals. I liked Sierra as a 4th OF.
  10. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) So I picked up SoM. The reviews were right: it's Assassins Creed and Arkham Asylum set in LotR. Pretty awesome a few hours in. Do the Gollum missions. I neglected them but you get powers that you'll need to deal with orcs. You start off all powerful, but damn does it get hard at some point.
  11. Heyward is a guy that could get me talking about anyone outside of Anderson, Rodon and Adams. I'd offer up a package with Danish/Montas, Johnson/Hawkins, Semien/Sanchez and Ravelo/Davidson for Heyward.

    QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 08:22 AM) Hey Kyle, so I don't have to dig through wikipedia, do you mind giving a real quick synopsis of what/who Ultron is? I would say I have a decent knowledge of the Marvel universe but I don't think really anything about Ultron. I'm guessing the one MCU movie I have not seen (IM3) shed some light on it though In the comics Ultron is an advanced AI built by Hank Pym (the first Ant-Man, will be played by Michael Douglas), though he brainwashed Pym into initially forgetting that he created him. He is genocidal because he believes that humanity is too chaotic to function in a peaceful world, thus need to be killed. Alternative versions of Ultron have him as a peace-keeping robot made by Pym, who again reaches the conclusion that humanity can't be peaceful. In the movies he'll be made by Stark to replace SHIELD / the ending of IM3.

    QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 01:51 AM) Am I the only one NOT in to these dozens of comic book movies that come out every year? Seems like every other movie that comes out is about superheroes. Feels like such a cash cow and some Hollywood big wigs are laughing at the amount of money they are raking in by s***ting out comic book movies every few months. Just me? I'm not a fan of the non Marvel Studios ones. They're weaving it together perfectly while the other 3 are all trying to mimic it. Also the MCU movies are different genres. Political thriller, WW2 movie, Shakespearen film, etc. They're all superhero movies but each of the connected franchises feels different.

    QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 22, 2014 -> 08:58 PM) The background music I think is the same slowed down Pinocchio they used at comic con, it's just stellar. It was so eerie. I also wish Spidey were there because he would definitely just be like "you did NOT just reference Pinocchio."

    Marvel tweeted "Dammit Hydra" and posted it in HD.

    That trailer looks really good.
  19. I might get the Watch_Dogs DLC after I finish Shadow of Mordor. Aiden is just...so bad. Meanwhile, Shadow of Mordor is so perfect. I've dropped 8 hours in and I forgot to do the missions for a while. The Nemesis system is just so addicting.
  20. QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Oct 22, 2014 -> 02:10 PM) BA published their top 50 prospects for the 2015 draft. Of note: 1. Brendan Rodgers 2. Brady Aiken 5. Walker Buehler 8. Kolby Allard 10 Nathan Kirby 13 Alex Bregman 14 Daz Cameron 15 Carson Fulmer 16 Ian Happ 20 Phil Bickford 21 DJ Stewart 28 Kyle Tucker http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/201...-arms-dominate/ After number one, the next four on the list are college pitchers. I'm guessing Mautella is #3?
  21. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 09:30 PM) I feel like the whole AL vs. NL rivalry died a while ago with interleague play and the growth of free agency. The NL can win every year if it means the Royals & Tigers & Twins, Indians, Red Sox and Yankees don't. Fixed.
  22. Time to revoke the Big Game James nickname.
