Half the topics on the main forum are "articles" yet there is no new information in these articles...it's just longer, re-hashed versions of regular threads with fewer responses and views. Please put articles in a separate "articles" sub-forum.

Rumor: Market "Very Active" For Brandon Drury
Oxy replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Is he enough of an upgrade over Brosseau and Toro to be worth going after for the wrong price? -
Wong and Box are really the only interesting cases. The others should be compared to the FA market. Box should be nearly a no-brainer to retain at $3M. He's been nails. Wong is probably gone...too many errors for a defense first 2B....just very little upside there, even if the downside is relatively high as well...it's just not high enough after what I've seen with his glove this year. Wrong side of 32 for Wong next year.

Granato is a better recruiter than Eaves but Eaves was probably the better coach. It sounds like the basketball team and the hockey team need to adopt the strength of each other....

Sure you can! I did!

Make a commitment to get all the way through season 1 of GoT. Takes a bit to get all the families and characters straight. I watched my first episode about a month ago. It's EXACTLY how I thought it would be, and that's not a compliment. I kept watching til the middle of season 3 because I wanted more of the characters (except for the Stark kids) to die, but they never did. Soulless fantasy porn devoid of any redeeming qualities. The sheer hollowness of substance in GoT is rivaled only by outer space and the bookshelves of 20th century philosophers. I've met strains of streptococcus that have more heart than any character in that show.

Since nobody has mentioned the OA, I'll mention the OA. A quirky mix of sci-fi meta-storytelling and social para-psychology with some multi-dimensional and/or new age malarkey thrown in. If you like M Night Shyamalan's stuff, you'll probably like The OA. Brit Marling has a very strange intelligent crazy cat-lady vibe to all her that is both enchanting and revolting. She's made a bunch of interesting indie movies over the last 10 years (along with Zat Batmanglij and Mike Cahill; The Sound of My Voice, Another Earth, The East, I, Origins) and many of the themes from those movies come together in the OA. It's one of those things that might be over-the-top pretentious, but I can't stop watching. The last episode in season 1 has the most ridiculous climax of a show I've ever seen. Season 2 gets weirder, but also actually explains a lot of the crazy loose ends that you are sifting around throughout all of season 1.
