QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 03:54 PM) lol, yeah, like anyone would have been super upset if something from that finale had been spoiled for them. Yeah, I actually told my brother beforehand that I wasn't going to be watching the finale live but that I didn't care about spoilers. I wish I would have gone through with dropping the show after episode 3 but I'm fairly obsessive about finishing things so I suffered through the rest of the season. I will not be watching season 3 though unless both the reviews from critics as well as word of mouth from anyone I know who still watches it are both good. This season was a chore to get through.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 11:08 AM) The Sox should've claimed him...SMH. This team is still in contention, why not go for it? No, they are not in contention. Not even close to being in contention actually.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 10:15 AM) It's probably a bad sign when a director rips his own movie on opening weekend. I like FF, but this will probably be the last movie about them, maybe forever. The only reason Fox even made the movie was to keep the rights. It was a bad idea from the start and it looks like the execution was beyond terrible. Hopefully Fox doesn't try to reboot this again in 7 years just to keep the rights and the rights revert back to Marvel.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 6, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) It was a mistake, but it didn't cost the White Sox any trophies. Finding a really good catcher who can hit and play defense is a trick GMs pretty much luck into. I actually don't think it was a mistake. The Sox would have still sucked the last few years with Pierzynski (who is a really mediocre player anyways) and they needed to find out if they had anything in Flowers. They don't but at least they know.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 6, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) All Marvel character movies need to be done by Marvel/Disney - period. Ideally but at least Fox has made some solid X-Men movies so it doesn't bother me as much that they have the film rights there.

So it appears that Fantastic Four is indeed a trainwreck of epic proportions. Fox really needs to give up on making Fantastic Four movies and let the rights go back to Marvel but I doubt that happens. Hopefully the movie bombs financially in spectacular fashion.

I'm so happy Hahn didn't do something stupid and trade for Cespedes or Upton at the deadline.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) I couldn't care less as long as he bet on his own team. Dude is absolutely a scum bag but he belongs in the HoF imo. Disagree. When you bet as often as he did it could just as easily be a tell to other gamblers when he didn't bet on the Reds.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 11:09 AM) I'm watching Trainwreck bit by bit and there's one thing that I found to be unrealistic...there's no way guys would be lining up to bang Amy Schumer. It's not like she's a 10/10. Hell if Bree Larson was the main character, it'd be a little more believable. Eh. It's not like they were making it out to be like all of these guys were falling in love with her (other than Cena and Hader's characters). Not unrealistic at all that she wouldn't have a hard time finding guys at bars to sleep with her.

Fantastic Four is apparently not being screened for critics until the 24 hours before its release which almost certainly means its a piece of s***. Hopefully Fox gives up on the Fantastic Four and the characters revert back to Marvel.

Garcia is a really bad baseball player and we haven't seen anything in the last 2 years to suggest that will ever change.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:55 PM) Clearly the lack of movement this week shows they do not think we could compete. If they don't think we can compete they should be trading Samardzija.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) Are they hurting for pitching, no, but what they want is another front line guy go to with Clayton / Greinke, yes. At least that is what everyone out in Dodger nation keeps saying. Clearly they have been patient and are unwilling to give up Seager / Urias for what has been moved. Wood has been as good as Samardzija since getting to the majors (if not better) and Latos really isn't all that far behind.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 11:07 AM) I completely disagree with this right now. Shark is now the best pitcher on the market and the Angels, Yankees, and Dodgers are all sitting their needing pitching. I realize the Dodgers got Latos but what they want is a guy that can help the front of the rotation and the Giants just got Leake. Giants would probably still be interested as well and apparently Houston is still looking to buy too. Cubs have to be desperate for pitching as well (if they are going to give this thing a shot). The Dodgers also got Alex Wood in that deal. They really aren't hurting for pitching now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:56 AM) Frankie Montas for 2 months of Justin Upton to hope for a 1 game playoff? Way too much. Yep. Especially where the 1 game playoff is still a long shot. I'm not even sure the Sox shouldn't still be selling but they sure as hell should not be giving up anyone of real value for a rental.

And yet the Cardinals are still eligible for compensation picks each year. So dumb.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 07:49 AM) Bruce Levine thinks Edwards, McKinney, and Contreras will get it done for Price. Am i crazy or is that a gross underpay? For two months of control I don't think that is that crazy. I'd certainly want more if I was Detroit but that doesn't strike me as a completely ridiculous offer.

I also don't understand how Vela's elbow was a yellow but Panama got a straight red in the first half (and I don't have a problem with the straight red but Vela's was much more intentional).

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 10:35 PM) There no chance of that happening, CONCACAF loves that Mexican money. CONCACAF doing everything they can to make sure Mexico advances to the Final, especially now that the US is out. Mexico doesn't deserve to win with the s*** level they've shown in the Gold Cup. The last two games were referee gifts. I thought they outplayed Costa Rica for the most part but that game should have gone to penalties where it is pretty much a toss up but tonight Panama was the better team even with 10 men and Panama was absolutely robbed. I couldn't feel good about winning like that if I was on Mexico's team.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) I hate to admit it but yeah. Mexican commentators are getting on the Mexican crowd to behave. That wasn't a penalty. The Mexican commentators are livid at that call, even suggesting that the Mexican player who takes the PK should miss it on purpose. I hope Guardado misses. Shameful. If CONCACAF had any balls they wouldn't let Mexico host any games until they can actually get their fans under control (and yes I realize this game isn't in Mexico). When throwing things at opposing players is the rule not the exception there is a serious issue.

Mexico fans are the worst. How CONCACAF has never done anything about them is ridiculous.

Lol, and Mexico gifted another ridiculous penalty kick.

Mexico fans classy as always.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) I know right. Pixar doesn't know what they're doing. Looks like Wall-E where there maybe minimum dialogue. I think it looks ok. It's pretty clear the dinosaurs were intentionally designed to be cartoonish looking which is odd given that the rest of the animation is gorgeous. I'm sure this will end up being good since Pixar hasn't had a real miss on an original film yet (although I didn't really care for Brave).
