QUOTE (raBBit @ May 11, 2016 -> 12:45 PM) I don't understand the love for Dakota Hudson lately. Lacks good secondary options, limited track record. I mean he tore up the cape but I wouldn't be thrilled with him at 10. I think he's just getting love because of the lack of college pitching. I wouldn't completely disagree with you but I'm confident in the Sox's ability to develop arms.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ May 11, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) My board would be at this point: 1. Puk (from my town) 2. Ray 3. Perez 4. Pint 5. Collins At #10: Groome/Moniak/Hudson At #26: Jones, Manning, Lowe, Whitely And the second round: Alen Hansen, who's been pretty hot as of late.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/730138117412294656 So as Puk falls, so does Groome. Cincinnati has been eyeing college bats too.

Bat Abreu second.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:24 PM) Have to see this. Liked Blue Ruin. It's very high on my best of list so far. I do wish that it used Patrick Stewart more. He didn't really have a signature moment. ******** Dunkirk will have the most expansive IMAX photography for any motion picture made to date. Dunkirk has been transported back to the 1940s and a bunch of the surviving warships are being used in the film. There's video on YouTube on the sets and they look spectacular

The International system is modern day slavery, it's very f***ed up and lots of shady stuff going on behind the scenes. It needs to be fixed. And no, I don't think the answer is an international draft

What would it take for Reddick, he's a free agent after the season.

I called Frazier in the bottom in the of the 8th or 9th, after the passed ball/interference play. I thought he was going to hit it then, but I guess late is better than never.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2016 -> 08:54 PM) Sharknado 4? Any movies besides "Eye in the Sky" worth checking out over the last 2-3 months? Green Room

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) Frazier has no plan up there right now. You can put that on the board.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:14 PM) I really see a team like the Dodgers giving up a bunch to get him or maybe they'll go all out for Fernandez. I called the Dodgers trading for Gray. The Cubs system is thinner than its been recently

Thought Avila should've bunted.

If Gonzalez has a solid outing, how much time does that buy him? Another start?

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 8, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool: 10/10, AotY. Unbelievable. Tears were shed. I ordered the Special Edition and can't wait to see them live again. It might be their best album, Daydreaming is already among their best songs for me with Pyramid Song, How to Disappear, Bloom, Videotape and Lucky. Did you see the Daydreaming vid live?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 9, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) Of course, everything that WB and DC are doing is amazing and perfect and is beyond contestation. Zack Snyder is also an amazing director and it is great he has so much autonomy. I forgot Trolls existed in the MCU

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:28 AM) I get that the pools should be different, and I am all for trading slots. But I also think it needs to be plain old capped. You get X dollars. You go over up to XX% (maybe 20%), you pay a luxury penalty. After that? No signings approved in the period. End of discussion. That's the best suggestion I've heard. It keeps competitive balance, you can trade slots, hard cap with a luxury tax. The players and buscones might hate it, as it would potentially lower bonuses but it's best for the league.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 9, 2016 -> 04:58 PM) I don't hate any of these but I think I'd rank them like this off the top of my head. 1. Winter Soldier 2. Iron Man 3. Civil War 4. Thor 5. AntMan 6. GOTG 7. Age of Ultron 8. Avengers 9. Iron Man 3 10. Dark World 11. Hulk 12. Captain America 13. Iron Man 2 I think that we can all agree that Dark World is terrible. It looks like no one wants to be there, the performances are unenthusiastic, terrible villain, outside the Infinity Stone nothing important happened, and it did nothing for Thor's character.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 9, 2016 -> 04:45 PM) I felt the opposite way. Going in, I was 99% sure that towards the end Team Cap and Team Iron Man would get over their differences and come together to beat the Big Bad Guy. Basically, the same cliche that Batman Vs Superman opted for. I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't do that. I think how BvS handled Batman and Superman teaming up and the Martha que was genius, but there's no DC allowed here. I would have preferred it if Civil War ended without Cap extending the olive branch to Tony. Him leaving that note for him, kinda ruined the weight of their fight a little bit.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 9, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) Umm, the third act started with it becoming good guys vs bad guys, until Tony Stark saw the video and then it went right back to Iron Man vs Captain America. That power orgy completely deflated that angle for me and that fight did nothing (for me) to re-inflate that philosophical conflict between them. I think that Civil War would've worked better as a phase of films, rather than one movie, with each film showing how the Accords affect the characters. I think that you could've done that and still build to Infinity War quite well.

I would rank the Marvel films: 1. Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Civil War 3. First Avenger 4. Iron Man 5. Winter Soldier 6. Incredible Hulk (Most Underrated) 7. Ant Man 8. Thor 9. Age of Ultron 10. Iron Man 2 11. Avengers (Most Overrated) 12. Iron Man 3 13. The Dark World I've seen Civil War 4 times now and it suffers the same problems that ruined Winter Soldier. That movie would've been great if it stayed true to being a political thriller and fully embraced the moral grey area that the story and characters occupied. By the time the third act happens it becomes another good guys vs. bad guys movies. Civil War, which is very good, could've been the best Marvel movie of all time if it would've stayed true to the philosophical battle going on between Cap and Iron Man, instead of becoming an power orgy at the end with the airport scene. I like that it didn't turn into a cameo fest like the comic felt like at times but I'm pretty upset that it didn't capture the big moment, like the other movie did.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 9, 2016 -> 01:50 AM) You beat me off to it, I mean, beat me to it. Did Robin shower the Twins with some mutual, masturbatory praise of his own

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ May 8, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) BA Has Ray falling to the Sox in their latest mock draft. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/mock-draft-2-0/ Groome is getting some bad buzz leading up the draft. It's not crazy to think that he is there when the Sox pick.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 7, 2016 -> 09:53 AM) Why would it? He does not have the virus. I don't know but it could make teams scared of drafting him. I'm willing to be that the teams who are looking at him, have brought it up.

Does the Zika virus affect Delvin Perez's draft stock?

Ben Affleck is now an executive producer on Justice Leauge, in a move to support Zack Snyder. George Miller is another producer on the film. http://deadline.com/2016/05/ben-affleck-ju...rio-1201750654/ Chris Nolan is about to start shooting Dunkirk any day now but I would expect him to do the same.
