I always wanted either Rian Johnson or Edgar Wright to direct the Flash movie. By the time the Flash starts filming, Johnson will be in the final stages of post on EP. 8 or completely done, so that eliminates him because he would probably want a break. Edgar Wright would be available but he could be apprehensive about taking over someone else's film after what happened to him on Ant Man.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 09:50 AM) Seth Grahame-Smith has left the directors chair of The Flash due to "creative differences", and it is starting to look like James Wan is about to do the same thing with Aquaman I should be completely shocked if Wan leaves Aquaman, since he casted Amber Heard and at CinemaCon said he's in a good place with the script and was reportedly at the JL set. http://www.thewrap.com/the-flash-movie-los...ve-differences/ The Wrap is reporting that WB just wants a more experienced director. This was probably a mutual decision between WB and Seth Grahame-Smith, he probably realized that he was in over his head since the only thing he's directed was a couple episodes of his TV show 7 years ago. The Wrap also said that WB is keeping his script in tact, so they are in love with his take on the material.

In our mocks and other stuff, we had the players ranked similarly to MLB Pipeline. Cool to see.

2016 MLB Draft
I hope the pick at #10 is either: Puk, Perez, Pint (if he falls), Moniak, Jones or Hudson. And at 27: Manning, Whitely, Lowe or Jones.

He needs to evolve, maybe start throwing a sinker idk. But I hope he figures it out. While he is not the pitcher he was before the injury, he's not this bad either.

2016 MLB Draft
You should all check out Joey Wentz. He's a two way player from Kansas. He's 6'6 210. He has one of the better swings in the draft (L/L) and shown some power potential but he's making some serious noise on the mound. He hasn't allowed an earned run all season and gave up his first hit last night. He can throw up to 95 and his last start he struck out 13 in 7. Should be a good pick in the comp/second round. I don't see him being a first round pick, being a two way player. He's better than Trey Ball at the plate and on the mound. ******* Jason Groome pitches on Saturday.

Watched Midnight Cowboy for the first time last night. It was so good, I ordered the book of Amazon.

Early Trade Speculation
I thought Oakland was going to be a .500 team this year, last year they were doomed by a bad bullpen and a terrible defense. I don't like the Astros' pitching, especially their starting staff and the Angels are meh. The Rangers should run away with the division.

Early Trade Speculation
I would check the price on Sean Doolittle, he is back after sitting out all of last year with TJ. I think the addition of a power lefty to the pen, that you could pair with Nate Jones would be huge.

Miguel Gonzalez getting called up, Danks skipped
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 07:02 AM) Why would you add another bad pitcher to the rotation? It just gives you one less chance at winning each rotation turn. Call up Turner, who's been pitching pretty well. Move Danks to the pen as your long man and Gonzalez takes his spot.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 07:31 PM) The song freedom on beyonces new album is one of the best pop songs I've heard in a while. Kendrick was kind of superfluous on it I love how Beyoncé works with a lot of indie artist. Chairlift, Sleigh Bells, Arca, Boots, Diplo, Switch, and on this album you can add James Blake, Vampire Weekend and Father John Misty to that list.

2016 MLB Draft
QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) Yeah I don't see anyway Jones sticks at SS with his frame but I was saying the same thing about Seager when he was drafted. Seager is the biggest SS ever I believe though. Nolan Jones' has a similar body to Kris Bryant

2016 MLB Draft
QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) Jones is so Miami I don't even see him getting to us. Rutherford, another candidate at #7 for Miami, would be welcomed by me at #10 if he gets there. Great bat-to-ball skills from the left side. Hostetler talked about the need for more contact guys and the fact that they won't be afraid to go with high school guys. Both good indicators for a guy like Rutherford. Rutherford screams Miami to me. I agree that the Sox need to prioritize contact more in the amateur scouting both domestic and international. I guess the easy comp on Jones is Corey Seager, I think Jones is a better athlete than Seager and can handle the glove better too. Jones hit tool is very real but if I were to draft him I would put him at third, so he can just focus on the bat.

(Insert Celeb Here) is Dead
QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) I read an article that seemed legit and said he had a bad hip and bad ankle pain as well and after the concert in Atlanta ODed on painkillers. The fact his current tour was him sitting at a piano and exhibiting his piano skills and not standing much would lend credence to the pain thing, also that he had a glittery cane when he walked on stage. Sad he didn't just go for hip replacement surgery or something. Check out Prince's performance of Let's Go Crazy done impromptu at SNL's 40th anniversary party. it's all over the web today. So cool. I've "enjoyed" watching some performances of Prince and watching some interviews from the past in respect. Purple Rain has got to be one of the best 10 songs of all time and the way he was able to add some guitar solos in the midst of that song is pretty awesome. Seemed like a together guy. One of the rare celebs to mention his faith in God a lot. Not some crazy spirit God but the traditional God. I also love the fact he still lived in Minnesota. As far as I'm concerned that says something. I love Prince. Rest in Peace. p.s. I know adults who have died of flu. If you ever get a serious bout, don't let yourself get dehydrated. Don't be shy about going to emergency. Death is possible from the flu. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/enterta...e-snl/83458354/ Some JW's stay away from some medical treatments or avoid it all together. Maybe that played into his death. His tolerance to pain medication might not have been that high. QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) What a story! Prince truly is the reason you had the connection with your wife. You may not have ever struck up a good conversation, who knows? Thank u for the story. I feel sad about Prince today for some reason. Good music just seems to be part of what life is all about - how human beings are able to create such cool stuff can be uplifting. RIP Prince. My partner, not my wife. I meant the first wedding I ever went to.

2016 MLB Draft
QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 06:33 PM) Certainly a possibility with #27 & #49 picks. Though Hansen was a far better prospect at his height than Beck ever was. What if they ended up with both Puk and Hansen? I think the pick at ten is going to be one of the prep players, I'm hoping for Nolan Jones.
