QUOTE (ptatc @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 07:44 AM) Not taking the Quintana trade and using less pieces to get Verlander? Yeah and Verlander dominated for them since coming over. The team won every game he started except game 6 of the world series. Also, glad they didn't trade for Q since I prefer Eloy over Kyle Tucker.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 07:33 AM) In my opinion, an adult having sexual relations with a 14 year old is wrong. In your world, because 14 year olds grow up faster in Hollywood and get drunk at adult parties, it's cool. I find that disgusting. This is the majority opinion, really. And it's right.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 05:12 PM) 5 lead changes = muy excitingo So was the 2 hit game 5 It's all good as long as it's not a blow out in my book This. It's been a hell of a series.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) I really, really, really liked Thor Ragnarok. I was shocked at how standalone it was, outside of a couple very subtle lines it didn't really focus on the Infinity Stone. Cate Blanchett and Tessa Thompson were both great. Ruffalo was hilarious but the best character was Korg who had me laughing the entire time he was on screen. I don't know where I would rank this out of all the MCU films but its up there. Where did you see it already? I see there is a 12:20am showing later a the Marcus by me. Someone want to test Movie Pass and go see like a 9:30pm movie and then when the clock hits 12, grab a Thor ticket? haha

QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 09:55 AM) My dream offseason would look something like: -Sign Jake McGee to a 3 yr, $20 million contract -Sign Welington Castillo to a 2 yr/$18 million contract -Sign Wily Peralta to a 1 yr, $5 million contract -Sign Drew Storen to a 1 yr, $3 million contract C Castillo 1B Abreu 2B Moncada SS Anderson 3B Sanchez LF Delmonico CF L. Garcia RF Avi DH Gillaspie BE Cordell BE Peter BE Narvaez BE Tilson? SP Shields SP Giolito SP Lopez SP Fulmer SP Peralta/Rodon RP McGee RP Storen RP Infante RP Minaya RP Farquhar RP Bummer RP Kubat Sox only dire need at this stage of the rebuild is to get bullpen help. I think Storen could be a solid low cost option. With McGee, they have no real dominating LH RP in their system, so I think he'd be a nice option to shut down games until Burdi is back. With signing Castillo, Sox will get another offensive threat that I dont think will make too much money this offseason. Put up 2.7 fWAR this year in a sneaky good season. Pitch framing sucks, but a tandem of him and Narvaez should be good for ~3-4 wins. I think Peralta would be a smart low risk signing because he gives you insurance for Rodon and can be transitioned to the bullpen. I think you ultimately bring up Kopech and Eloy by June and let it rip second half. This team will be a lot better than people think this season, a couple of smart offseason signings could make the second half really interesting.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 01:26 AM) Am I the only one that sees the irony in these two posts? When I went back and actually read his posts, no you're not the only one who sees it

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 30, 2017 -> 09:31 AM) Whether you think adding Stanton is a good idea or not, I just can’t agree with the timing. We should not spend big this offseason as it will be a year too early IMO. If you’re going to take on the considerable risk that is Stanton’s contract, you need to make sure you’re timing the addition right to ensure the biggest potential payoff. I know people are skeptical, but I’d rather see us active in the epic 2018/19 free agent class (even if there is competition) than just jump too early on Stanton. We should have the money to be serious players IMO. Arenado, Machado, Rendon as possible options for third...or going 3-4 years on Donaldson at high AAV (which probably wouldn't be good but could see it happening).

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 11:01 PM) Screw the haters. Just finished Season 2, thought it was really good. Stranger Things Season 1 was a pleasant surprise for everyone. It had very little hype, spread on social and it really caught on. It was the surprise team of the year. In Season 2, they had a target on their back trying to live up to expectations. And for the most part, they met them. Now that I'm in front of the computer, a few specific thoughts: I'e only watched the first 3 episodes and so far I'm really enjoying it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 28, 2017 -> 10:45 PM) Big Sick and It were good. American Made and Happy Death Day entertaining Suburbicon, Jigsaw, Geostorm, Kingsmen, Lucky Logan, Snowman, Brads Status, Foreigner, not so good IMO. Getting your money's worth haha me and my buddy are going to start going once a week on like Wednesdays. Marcus does the $5 Tuesdays and Thursdays there are usually movies released so figured it would be the least busy day to go. Also agree with you on these movies.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 02:19 PM) I wonder if it makes cash room for Stanton If they acquire both Heyward and Stanton, depending on the money going their way, they would definitely need to deal both Span and Pence.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 02:17 PM) That is a very interesting trade rumor. As a Sox fan, I wouldn't want to see it happen so the cubs remain stuck like pigs with Heyward's contract. As a baseball fan, it's makes sense for both teams. Yeah I'd rather they have to trade one of their younger guys due to the glut than unclog it by dealing Heyward.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) Don't understand how SF benefits from that. That would be the ultimate bail out for the Cubs. They need someone who can cover that outfield so he at least would help prevent runs. And as mentioned, it could save them money.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 10:59 AM) No, that’s what SyFy was invented for lol Funny you say that, because the acting was so bad in this Jigsaw movie, my buddy said it should have been on SyFy lol

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 12:52 PM) Binged. All the charm of the first season was lost in the second. I found characters just doing stupid things to move the story further along. Was pretty meh for me. (some things which I won't spoil were just downright cringeworthy) Damn. Hopefully this is just one bad review.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 09:33 AM) I still maintain that if Stanton is moved he gets moved for very little. I think so too. If the team trading for him takes on all of his salary, you're probably looking at what, a B and 2 C prospects type of package? Guys who would fill in after the prospects you get for moving Yelich and Ozuna.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 10:28 AM) Just used my MoviePass for first time. Even cooler, I have a loyalty card for theatre that they scanned so I’m getting points towards free stuff without spending more that $10 a month. I wouldn’t waste a swipe of my MoviePass on Geostorm. Ha I think AMC and Marcus both have loyalty card systems at their theaters. And that is exactly how I felt leaving Jigsaw last night lol I've seen the first 7 (only really liked the first 3) so I felt like I should see this one.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 09:57 AM) So see Geostorm, it's looks to be what Movie Pass was invented for I agree. I forgot to list that movie.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 09:11 AM) I ordered at about 12:10 Pacific...didn't hear my alarm for 10 minutes...and I ended up with a delivery date 2-3 weeks out. Boo. #firstworldproblems

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 08:25 AM) But....we've definitely seen deals exactly like that before. For example - the Blue Jays taking on Tulowitzki while giving up top talent. They also saved about $55 million trading Reyes in that deal.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) Have to agree there. Ozuna just posted a monster season and has two years of control left. Adding him or Yelich to the deal really changes the complexity. The question is, does Stanton's contract, and/or the Marlins' desire to get back multiple young players/prospects, necessitate the inclusion of one of Ozuna or Yelich? If the Marlins desire a prospect package, it does make sense to potentially consider that, but if you are getting back pieces like Bradley Jr and Boegarts, I am not sure what sense this makes. One would think they would be better off moving Stanton for some prospects and cash, and then moving Yelich and Ozuna for more prospects to further augment their farm system and realign their window. Yeah they can really cash in moving their whole OF. Also could mean more Ichiro at bats! Should also see Gordon, Chen, Volquez, Realmuto, Prado shopped as well this off-season.

QUOTE (Special K @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 09:09 PM) Todd Ritchie (1); La Roche (2); Teahen (3) The category was worst CF, not worst acquisition haha

I've seen 3 movies with moviepass since I received it close to 3 weeks ago. It is very easy to use. I saw Happy Death Day the day it came out on the 13th (friend wanted to see it and I wanted to test it), the next day after that I saw IT again (wanted to test the 24 hour rule), and then for the hell of it, I saw Jigsaw last night which was bad (not that I expected much) but it was a very small audience. I figure I will get a lot of use out of it with Thor, Justice League, Star Wars, Murder on the Orient Express coming out and even fringe movies I wouldn't pay to see it but likely will like Bad Moms 2 and Daddy's Home 2 (first one I thought was funny of each). It also helps that it is going to be colder out. Me and my buddy are going to start going one weeknight a week.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) With all of the latino players that we have, Renteria isnt going anywhere.One big reason they got him ia not only just to help develope young players but it is easier to manage when you can speak the language fluently. Girardi or Dusty baker cannot. Another factor, Jerrys "loyalty" kicks that he always has. He Is NOT going to put Renteria out to dry like The Cubs did. Relax everyone Ricky is here to stay even if Joe Torre or Tony LaRussa wants to come back and manage And this is why I said more than half the MLB teams will have a Latino manager in the next 10 years, if not sooner.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 02:09 PM) I don't see why the Marlins would be that upset with Don Mattingly and doesn't Jeter also have a relationship with Don? I see no reason why Girardi would go there. New owner coming in could just cause a shakeup on the coaching staff.
