QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 6, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) Wow, the Angels are a complete mess. Mike Trout's prime is just gonna be wasted. I don't think they would ever do it but the Angels really should consider trading Trout.

Alden Ehrenreich cast as Han Solo. Anyone seen him in anything?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) Cubs pitching is insane. Teams have also had just amazingly horrible at bats against them with chances to score recently. The Pirates were like actively taking strikes and swinging at balls whenever they had runners on in the last series.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 5, 2016 -> 06:01 PM) But they don't. Studios are never unhappy with a couple hundred million in profit, all things considered. Could it have made more? Sure. But it also could have made less and lost them money. Again, they crank out Transformers movies which critics hate, but people see them...so long as they're making profits they're not going to care. Sure, when I sell a stock I'd prefer to sell it at 100 instead of 75, but if I bought it at 40...I'm not really going to cry. If they wanted Snyder gone, he'd likely be gone by now...instead he's already filming The Justice League. I'm honestly not sure this could have made much less unless the movie was a Fantastic Four level disaster. The movie opened up big based on the brand and WB doing a good job marketing it but it had horrible legs in basically every market so clearly the general audience didn't care for this at all. It might not even double its opening weekend in terms of box office domestically which is unbelievably bad. Disney/Marvel would be incredibly unhappy if Civil War had Batman v Superman results.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 3, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) I wish they'd just keep playing until someone gets more goals than the other team... Or if you don't want it decided on pens, just play the 30 minutes of ET. If it's still tied, then away goals decides it. I agree and while I hate deciding things on penalties it still makes a hell of a lot more sense than giving one goal more value than other goals.

Anyone else really hate the away goal rule? I think it is remarkably stupid and wish it was done away with.

Spurs have choked away a 2-0 halftime lead and are tied with Chelsea with about 10 minutes to go. Leicester 10 minutes from the title.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) I hate that Jax pick. I thought Jacksonville killed it with Ramsey and then Jack in the second but I didn't get their third round pick at all.

The Punisher is getting his own Netflix series.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 10:17 AM) Leonard Floyd just had a cringeworthy interview on Goff and Spiegel What did he say (or is just Derrick Rose level stupid)?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 08:35 AM) The White Sox basically picked pre-injury Danks over Buehrle. The logic was pretty solid. The result wasn't. Yeah, there are contracts that are bad when they are signed (Pablo Sandoval with Boston) and then there are contracts and moves which are good when they are made but then become bad through unfortunate circumstances and that is the case with Danks. He was a really good pitcher before the injury that signed a deal that was probably below market to stay with the Sox long term. Then of course he had the shoulder injury and has been terrible since.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) I'm a huge fan of the Cards pick. He will probably be a monster there.

Even when he does get people out right now it basically luck that a hard hit ball was hit right at someone or the defense makes a great play.

Please no more Danks this year. This team has so much going for it but he is a disaster.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) It's hard to suck with defense like this. His last start proved that too. And yet he is still managing to do just that.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 02:57 PM) I'm in no way excusing the act, but I bet that there are dozens of NFL players with unreported college sexual assaults in their life history. Um, so you should knowingly draft and pay big money to a guy you know has a sexual assault accusation that was also accused of assault by an ex-girlfriend? Dude is a piece of trash. No thanks to having a guy like that.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:40 AM) But so is Bosa from other reports. Who knows though. A lot of what we hear are teams just positioning themselves to make others think what they want. Yeah, I wouldn't believe a single word of where certain players are going to go at this point. I'm pretty sure I have now seen more than 15 players linked to going between picks 3-10.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) Truth of the matter is that the Astros haven't been all that great since their hot start last year. And the Ken Giles trade is up there with the Shelby Miller trade for just remarkably stupid trades that made no sense at the time and are looking terrible in hindsight too.

Blake Griffin also done for postseason. Looks like the Warriors will get the Trailblazers in the second round.

Chris Paul breaks a bone in his right hand. This playoffs sucks ass and that is a monster break for the Warriors.

Wow, Leicester now one win (or Tottenham loss) from the title.

Sprained knee for Curry and he will have an MRI tomorrow.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) Not watching: is Weaver that good or the offense that bad? The offense sucks. The current version of Jered Weaver is a bad pitcher.

The Angels lineup is laughably bad. That franchise is in some trouble right now. Their major league roster isn't good at all and their minor league system is by far and away the worst in baseball. If they didn't have Trout it would be time to just fold up shop.

Both offenses should be embarrassed.
