Hurricane Irma out in the Atlantic is already a category 3. Looks to be heading toward the Eastern Seaboard.

They'll probably find a former closer and work on him like Swarzak and Kahnle. Drew Storen, Steve Cishek, David Hernandez...

Would Matt Purke be considered as a RP option for the rest of the season?

I wish that Cordell was healthy enough to come up.

Welp. No surprise.

Holland has got to go.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 10:39 AM) He didnt see any flooding, talk to any victims, yet tweets about how he saw it first hand. Why tell the truth when no one cares that you're lying?

Browns DB Joe Haden is now a free agent. Is he worth a look by the Bears?

His biggest hurdle is stamina and offspeed pitching. He needs to worry less about blowing guys away with speed in AA.

Bears have a backup long snapper available?

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 27, 2017 -> 08:02 PM) This was best case scenario in some ways today, but the injuries were worst case. Sucks so hard for Meredith. They'll probably need to get a castoff from someone's final cuts as depth.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) Virtually no one in this area has a basement due to high water tables. I'm pretty far uphill from the ocean and away from the main drainages, so i don't think my place is going to be in real jeopardy even from 20+ inches, but this will be a good test about whether or not I need to buy flood insurance. The scariest model run I've seen came out this morning - it has the first landfall tonight, followed by the storm being pushed back out over the unusually warm waters of the Gulf where it re-intensifies into a category 3 and then makes a second landfall in Houston as a Category 3. Houston is your disaster waiting to happen - years of unchecked development, inadequate flood control systems, every time someone paves an area to build a parking lot it makes the next flood worse, huge amounts of exposed infrastructure, plans for $10 billion+ flood control levees sitting on people's desks after Hurricane Ike waiting for someone to pay for them. I've got enough colleagues down in Houston that if it came to it I could offer rooms for them while fleeing. I'll also get to see if I keep internet and power this weekend, if so I'll chime in to say hi now and then. We had a heavy rain a few years ago that even though we were miles from water, it saturated the ground so fully that it leaked right into our home. Hopefully, with no basement, that, you should be safe from any damage.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 09:19 AM) Some models have had areas hit 40. At this point it's just sitting back and seeing how much actually comes down and which spots get stuff stuck over them. Hope that you have a pump and sand bags ready. Do they have many homes with basements in Texas?

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 07:37 PM) Really been enjoying Twin Peaks, the last episode had me in tears towards the end. About to start the Defenders. I really enjoyed the first season of DD and I loved Jessica Jones, but DD S2, Iron Fist and Luke Cage left a lot to be desired. I think the MCU Netflix shows are too long and should be 8/10 episodes max. I finished it the other day. Episodes 1-3 are slow, 4-5 are pretty good, 6-7 speeds everything up too quickly, and 8 is a decent finish, but not that exciting. Overall, it's worth at least one watch-through. The writing falls into "let's make a main character into a dumb-ass to move plot along." Kind of like Harry Potter.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 01:58 PM) Amazing that some team hasn't grabbed him, at worst case, as a long reliever, 5th starter for down the stretch. Sox would probably give him away if it saved them some minor cost savings over the last month. At this point, I don't see the value of moving him. There's not enough to warrant any good team having interest.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 09:01 AM) Good luck with your next team dude. I pretty much figured that he'd be put on the practice squad once he's healthy. He's never playing for the Bears again unless there's another injury after he heals up.

Anyone watch the CW DC shows? I've been watching Legends of Tomorrow on Netflix. I'm almost done with season 1... It rides the line between quality and cheese.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 09:00 AM) Affleck will not be Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves "The Batman". And furthermore, that movie will be standalone and not connected to the DCEU Bad move.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 03:51 PM) Yes. I can see how people can infer that he's talking about Trump in the first video but he never mentions him by name. I think that he's also including the historical violence of certain groups as well.

Are there any really good CF prospects besides Robert?

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 11:56 AM) I'm sure he did. But the way it played out amazes me. People aren't upset that the media equates hateful and violet people as Trump supporters. They are upset that a CEO doesn't want those types of people as customers. Seems a bit backwards to me. There have been many instances where the hateful, violent people are quoted as being supporters of Trump. Twitter and elsewhere. PS I enjoyed your autocorrect.

Can Davidson play 3B well enough to allow Delmonico to DH? Or can Delmonico play LF well enough to allow Davidson to DH?
