QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 10:46 PM) Drive was better than that, if only for the soundtrack. Could not have gotten Bangkok more wrong in Only God Forgives. I don't think you're going to find more than a handful that enjoyed that particular movie around here. I'll put the over/under at 2 that agree with you. I would have to disagree, I loved Drive but I would pick Only God Forgives over that any day of the week and that makes sense because Only God Forgives is Drive to the extreme. Everything about Drive is taken to the billionth degree on OGF. I really appreciated the man verses God/nature story that it had thought that despite being overtly symbolic, that it did not beat you over the head with symbolism. Drive did have the better soundtrack, but OGF had the better score in my opinion but I wouldn't penalize OGF for not having a soundtrack because a soundtrack in the film would feel really out of place. I loved the dynamic between Julian and his mother. And I could watch a movie/tv series about Chang, my favorite on screen portrayal of God in any movie, sorry Morgan Freeman. The original script is online and its a totally different movie, its more conventional and plays as a straight up thriller. I would like to see Refn do a four quadrant movie, something more conventional and pop but he's craving a nice little niche for himself and building a devoted following in the process.

That episode of Silicon Valley ended on a real down note.

Some of the best cinematography I've seen in a long time. Fabian Wagner's doing JL and he has another big movie lined up. The whole episode was emotionally satisfying on every level.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 05:16 PM) All comes down to player development. The teams that develop players win. Sox haven't done a good job of that for 10-plus years. So instead they're stuck going dumpster diving for guys like Latos, Shields, etc. Things aren't going to change until development does. Yeah the Sox didn't develop Sale, Quintana, Rodon and guys like Anderson, Fulmer and Adams don't look to have bright futures.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) I'm very pleased with him. He's a reliable mid-rotation starter with zero minor league seasoning 35 starts into his MLB career. Considering his stuff, he absolutely has the profile of the kind of guy who suddenly finds himself in All-Star/Cy Young discussions a year or so from now. And it will take people by surprise because he'll have been around for a while, but the truth is that he's getting his seasoning in the majors whereas most players do that in the minors. Totally agree with everything here. His doubters forget that he just turned 23, basically went straight to the pros and he's only been starting at the ML level for a little over a year. He's been having an impressive season and has made big strides with his control. He has a very high ceiling.

Saw Neon Demon today and its fantastic, maybe my favorite movie of the year. I thought it was going to be impossible to top Only God Forgives but Refn did it.

Optimus Prime/Michael Bay. And partner that comes up to Detroit every few days for a couple days at a time.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 12:11 AM) I'm in love with the song about Mona Lisa. It's funny but its about 30% This is Spinal Tap recycled. The Bin Laden song is genius, I find myself singing "f*** Bin Laden" constantly.

Manny Machado, Salvador Perez, Gerrit Cole, Gregory Polanco

QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) Ted Williams. But all of him, not just the head. +10pts

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) Except that isn't even true. I know what you're trying to say, but just an average RF would make a world of difference in the outfield over Garcia. It's an embarrassment. You need him in the lineup because of his bat????? For real? Just unreal. He does have a lot of value on this team because having him on the field greatly improves the team's defense all around. You're right in saying that even an average RF makes those plays and gets to those balls but I would rather have Adam Eaton in RF than your average RF

We see how valuable Austin Jackson is.

Ausmus should be fired on the spot for having Iglesias bat second.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) I wouldn't. Robin makes the lineups. Yeah, let's stop discrediting Robin for the things he does right.

Again, Tim Anderson should always be batting leadoff.

You juicin'?

I think they should keep batting Tim Anderson lead off. Its the spot in the line up where he projects the best with his ability to make contact and his speed, having get familiar with batting in that spot now is better for his development.

The team hasn't been this patient since late April.

Avi was huge there, I hope he sees what happens when you're patient at the plate.

Stay alive Avi

I think regardless of what happens this season, the Sox should shop Robertson. A lot of teams out there desperate for relievers.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Or GM Don't think Hahn has done anything to question his job security or his competency as the teams GM.

I think people are using their dissatisfaction with the team's on field performance an excuse to discredit the FO and organization as a whole.
