**2017 Films Thread** (Beware of spoilers)
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.

2017 Cubs Catch-all thread
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.

2017 Cubs Catch-all thread
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.

2017 Cubs Catch-all thread
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

2017 Watercooler TV thread
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.

Giancarlo Stanton traded to Yankees
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.

**2017 Films Thread** (Beware of spoilers)
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.

Technology catch-all thread
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

Giancarlo Stanton traded to Yankees
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.

Giancarlo Stanton traded to Yankees
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.

**2017 Films Thread** (Beware of spoilers)
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.

Our Next Manager?
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.

2017-2018 MLB player movement rumors and reports
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.

Our Next Manager?
Could see Girardi being a guy who takes a break for a year, spends time with family, does some tv work and then decides to see what's out there next off-season.

Our Next Manager?
QUOTE (G&T @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) Not sure Girardi is a guy you need to go out and get, but he just managed a rebuilding team in New York to within 1 game of the WS, and the Sox are a rebuilding team with a lot of talent. And he's probably better than Renteria at least. I wouldn't say "rebuilding" when describing the Yankees situation. They sold off two relievers (one was going to be a free agent) and Beltran in 16.

Our Next Manager?
I kinda feel like they find high value at that fact that Ricky speaks Spanish. I feel in the next 10 years you will see more than half the teams in the league with a Spanish-speaking manager, if not sooner.

Our Next Manager?
QUOTE (Latilleon @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 09:49 AM) Joe Girardi Out as Yankees Manager Assuming he doesn’t take the Nationals opening, could the Sox drop Rick Renteria after next season for Joe Girardi? He wanted to manage the Cubs if I remember correctly. Does that mean he’d be willing to manage the Sox? Is he a manager we should want? Would he be better than Rick? You would have to be assuming no one adds Girardi in the off-season.

Ankle surgery not ruled out for Tilson
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 09:02 AM) I remember the first time it was posted. I just assumed he got injured again in the past month. Lol yeah. Guy would be in mid-season form.

2017-2018 MLB player movement rumors and reports
QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 02:12 AM) Fernando Tatis Jr. https://mobile.twitter.com/JesseSanchezMLB/...318081321025537 So if he ends up becoming a star, the Padres will have him for the 7 seasons of control (which is still a good amount of time). That makes me feel a little better about the situation lol not that I'm one of the people here still hanging on that deal.
