The Sox may have just cut their nose to spite their face? If Houston wants Quintana and the Sox don't want to lessen their asking price, getting a third team involved could get a deal done

Make sure you see Rouge One in IMAX because you'll see the Dunkirk prologue, the first 6mins of the movie. It's super intense and very fast paced. It starts in the middle of a battle and there's some insane aerial footage. The ending is insanely tense. This really sells the 'action-thriller' tag way more than the trailer did. Hopefully it gets released online.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 01:26 PM) On the other hand, dark and gritty sounds fun but it really is weird to have a star wars film that my nieces and nephews can't see even though we have bought them lego sets for it. It's not that dark or gritty, I would take my kid to see it but you should check it out first.

Rouge One is pretty good, one of my favorite Star Wars films. After watching and thinking about it, it really makes a ANH a better movie and the actions in that film more important. A lot of stuff from the cartoons, books, and comics are mentioned. I had to watch it twice but I couldn't point of any of the reshot scenes. And the CGI characters were really done well. Some scenes dragged on and some dialogue fell flat. The movie is slow to start but it really picks up after the mid way point. ESB TFA ANH R1 ROTS ROTJ PM AOTC

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:52 PM) Yes, I hope they lose 100 games in 2017 at the very least and wouldn't be disappointed to see the same thing happen in 2018 - although I doubt it will. The way I see it, it's part of the process when you're doing a total teardown/rebuild. What is the point of a rebuilding team having a middle of the pack pick in the draft? There is none. The darkness for a few years will bring bright light to the Southside. I promise you... the dawn is coming.

Some guys that I would like the team to sign are Greg Holland and Tyson Ross. If the Sox sign them along with Derek Holland, they can flip them at the deadline and clean up assuming that they have productive years. Theo and Jed made a killing making these type of moves

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 10:08 AM) I never want to see the Sox lose, but when there is a generational talent like Seth Beer in the 2018 draft class, I'd be ok if they stunk next year as long as they get him. I think everyone needs to calm down regarding Seth Beer. Put the the keg down and take a deep breath. It's okay to be excited about possibly having a very high pick but to be this attached to a player a year and a half out from the 2018 is only setting yourself up for disappointment

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) Makes me feel like Q is the next one out the door. The Sox needed to sign a starting pitcher (or two) regardless of what happens with Quintana

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 04:39 PM) As I recall, the Sox lost out on Cabrera because they wouldn't take Dontrell Willis. I remember those rumors and going online everyday to see what was happening

Patrick Wilson is going to play Orm/Ocean Master in Aquaman: http://deadline.com/2016/12/patrick-wilson...moa-1201869055/ Justice League 2 has been taken off the schedule so that the Batman film can take its place.

Would you rather sign Otani and no LA players, thus hurting your presence in LA? Or would you not sign Otani and sign LA players to keep your LA presence strong?

Get to watch the movie Wednesday night for work (projectionist). A rep from Disney is going to audit me watching the movie, so it should be an awkward time. I'm excited. I'm seeing it on Friday morning at 1:30 and then my partner and I are seeing it on Monday for my birthday.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) Honestly, winter meetings should be an all week thing from Sunday to Sunday. I was talking with a friend about the winter meetings and I couldn't agree more. I think they should do it Monday to Saturday.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) Franklin Perez is currently their #4 prospect according to the Baseball America most recent update. I meant a top ten pitching prospect in all of baseball

I asked JJ Cooper on Twitter, about his thoughts on Gray and Beer and he said that we can add Brice Turang to that group. Nathan Rode from PrepBaseballReport.com said that Jarred Kelenic is another player that you can throw into that group and said that he would take Turang and Kelenic over both Beer and Gray. Turang: Kelenic:

I'd rather have Franklin Perez than Whitely, Perez should be a top ten pitching prospect when the rankings are updated.

In a trade with Houston I would need: Tucker, F. Perez, Martes and Whitely to start. In a trade with Colorado I would need: Rodgers, Pint and Tyler.

It's hard to say when the team will be competitive because it depends on the development of the young players and we need to how continue to develop at the ML level. But if you put a gun to my head, I would say 2020. Hopefully we get a couple top picks in the meantime

Earlier this past season I asked JJ Cooper on Twitter, who the top player in the 2018 draft class is and said it's between Beer and Joe Gray. Joe Gray: http://www.perfectgame.org/Players/PlayerP...ID=469872#Video

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 07:34 PM) Really good chance he isn't coming over next year as he would be restricted. Ken Rosenthal reported that he's coming over and he reported that after the new CBA was done. But these new rules do not work out in his favor, if he wants more money he should stay but he'd be taking a huge risk

What ever it takes to sign Shoei Otani, they should do.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 11:19 AM) Fortunately since the MCU moves in real time, we'll only have high school Peter for one movie. They're gonna try and stretch him into being the next RDJ/face of the MCU for the next decade. They said that they want these films to be like the Harry Potter films, with each film representing a year in school for Peter. And no doubt that Marvel/Disney wants Holland and Brie Larson to be the face of the MCU going forward, along with Chris Pratt. I mean they announced the sequel the day after the trailer came out.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 08:54 AM) I don't know why everyone seems to think Peter Parker needs to be a young teenager. He hasn't actually been a teenager in the comics in decades. The whole time I've been reading comics he's actually been an adult. If they were gonna do the teenager route they really should've done Miles Morales, that's a fresh story. Peter Parker as a young teenager is a fresh story, in the terms of the films. Both Garfield and McGuire played Peter Parker in his senior year of high school, when he's about to graduate. Plus, I prefer Peter the teen to Peter the adult
