Watching Puk pitch right now against Virginia. Edit: He reminds me of Bumgarner at first glance with a downhill delivery, he really uses his height to his advantage.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) Bighead becomes CEO for literally doing nothing. The American Dream has come true! All while Gavin Belson becomes a nobody. So satisfying. I loved the scene in the bathroom, where Gavin ties Richard's tie. Gavin showed an ounce of humanity but he immediately destroys that by being a dick

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 04:54 AM) Won't Monica just end up switching sides and joining with Richard and Bachmann...? Seems that's the only logical way to keep the show moving forward. Or Gavin Belson offers Reviga even more money than they just paid Delorean Wing Door Guy to get 60% control...but then he has to to work with Richard again? Unless Monica invested some of her own money into Pied Piper, her seat belongs to Reviga. I think that Bagetti becomes CEO of Huli and after failing miserably he brings in Richard and the team to realize Nucleus and they take down the Reviga Pied Piper

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 12:13 AM) Well that's awesome. So you saw 1 or 2 episodes then? I saw 2, he has the first three. I'm not going to watch the third, two was enough for me. I still want to share the sense of discovery with everybody else. EDIT: If you live Michael Mann, Chinatown and The Wire you're going to love it.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 12:14 AM) Silicon Valley season finale, someone help me figure this out.... His girlfriend held a seat. He gave her one during their first board meeting. Monica + Awkward Woman + Awkward Woman's Assistant = Revina

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 08:01 PM) How were you able to screen the first couple episodes? My Film partner's brother in law is an agent and his father is a famous producer, he had a screener and he let me watch it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 06:18 PM) I think if one of the starting OFs goes down he could get the call I think he could be a good 4th OFer

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 06:19 PM) the biggest let down which in my opinion has done more harm is Eaton, LaRoche and Flowers. the fiasco at 2b could have been absorb if everybody else was hitting. even conor batting at what he has hasn't help. Eaton got off to a bad start but since then he had been playing pretty well, don't let his current batting average full you. LaRoche is having a good year too, he's good with the glove (one of the few guys you can depend on in that department), he is more that willing to go deep into counts and he takes his walks. I expect him to heat up add the season goes on. I thought that was a good signing and I still feel that. And don't people understand that across the league there are few quality catchers, catcher has become the most scarce position in the game across all levels. While Flowers is not one of the better players on the team and the Sox want to improve at the position, there are 25 other teams saying the same thing

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 05:56 PM) Exactly. I'm leaning in this direction as elite as Sale is. I realize it won't happen. The White Sox are more likely to continue tinkering around the edges. That could work as well, but I think the Cubs should be a model for the White Sox. The Sox can not do the Cubs did, the fanbase won't allow it.

Does Thompson get the call at some point this season?

I believe that if the Sox are out of it at the deadline not only should they try to bring in some young talent into the system, but I believe that they should be hoping for the highest draft pick possible, that could do some serious wonders for the org. Let me say that I think the team should be in the mix for the division in 2016, but with another high draft pick and what not they could open and prolong their window. Theo Epstein always said that if your team is out of it after the deadline, you might as well hope for the highest draft pick possible.

Saw the first episode of True Detective new season, it's pretty good. I like the marketing campaign of the second season, almost non existent and is relying on word of from the fans of the first season instead of huge ad campaigns and whatnot. I signed an NDA last night from Hbo and WB so I can't really say much. If you're expecting an repeat of the first season, you're going to be disappointed. This is new ground and completely different. The story revolves around Satanism, not "I hate you dad, Im going to join a hardcore band" Santanism, but actual, hard core Santanism. If anyone had studied Santanism, you know that sex plays a huge part into the practice of the religion, think about the Manson stuff. My favorite character is Ani (Rachel McAdams) and her knives. Vince Vaughn is bad ass, he just has this aura about his performance. I thought it was pretty good and it is more up my ally compared to the first season, which I thought was great. I cant wait for the rest of the season.

I am going to watch the first couple of episodes of True Detective's second season tomorrow

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 06:09 PM) Doubt I'll see a better movie this year then Ex Machina. Don't consider it a summer movie though. Came out in April. Nvm you're correct, I saw it May, my mistake.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 05:48 PM) Part of this is RV fault for allowing this s*** with Alexi too go on forever. Please explain?

Alexi has cost the team some runs with his poor play in the field

Damn

Jurassic World was fantastic easily the second best movie of the summer. Number 1 is EX MACHINA

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 01:12 PM) I saw Entourage last night and I thought it was great. Storyline was whatever but it was funny and entertaining. My girlfriend who has never seen the show was very entertained. I saw it at a preview screening in April and it got a huge applause

I believe that Nunez, Alfaro and maybe Mercedes will be with the AZL team, if not they'll be on the DSL roster shortly. There was a conference call earlier in the year and Bell and Laumann spoke very highly of them, and remember Micker went straight to the AZL.

Good teams always find a way to win, maybe the Sox can pull thisbout

Don't know where else to post this but I hated the Melky signing when the team announced it and I hate it more and more each day.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) f***ing Flowers. I'm not going to place any of the blame for the game getting out of hand on Flowers

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 11:33 PM) Mota is a full younger then any player we just picked in the entire 2015 draft. Of course he has a lot of growing to do. I never said he didnt, I'm just comparing him against Mateo at that point in his career

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 07:31 AM) i like A.J. Puk - sp tx a+m. alot. i also like Zak Collin - 1b and Bobby Dalbec - 1b. there is 2 more, i can't remember right now. don't know if there were drafted or not. but these are my fav's. i got to see how the cape plays out. Rutherford is my favorite guy in this draft, followed by Riley Pint, Jason Groome and Puk
