Last time it was done was 96 when the Yankees beat the Braves. So the short answer is no. I think the bigger issue for the Astros and they need to rely on Grienke to pitch lights out in GM3 and he doesn't have good postseason numbers (including this year).

Not a recording but confession nonetheless. https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/Astros-executive-Brandon-Taubman-deeply-sorry-14553735.php “I used inappropriate language for which I am deeply sorry and embarrassed," Taubman said in a statement on Tuesday. "In retrospect, I realize that...

I agree, starting pitching continues to be the issue with this team. It was an issue 2 years ago, last year and now this year. They made no move to bring a pitcher in at the trading deadline (Grienke wasn't playing in NY though) and instead brought in Encarnacion which at the time I thought...

This is probably a minority opinion, but I think Chapman is overrated. Also somewhat annoyed me that he throws a meatball to Altuve and starts smiling as soon as he swung the bat. Probably the most frustrating was that Yankees had their chances throughout the series. I can understand if...

Their best chance was in that 6th where DJ got thrown out at the plate. Can't fault for that, Correa made a great play. Once the game went into extras I was fairly certain they weren't going to win that game. I'll take the split and see how it goes at home. If the Yanks can somehow beat Cole...

This is what I mentioned to the wife as we were walking out. The movie was good, but it's more about about how the system (and society) deals with the mentally ill. In fact if you took the comic book universe out of it, you really wouldn't have that different of a movie.

Canes first 3-0-0 start since mid 90's. 2 OT winners and a SO winner. Can't complain, new guys (Haula, Gardiner) already paying dividends. Slow starts to these games don't help since you're not going to comeback all the time but so far so good. There's been some points where Aho is playing...

I thought it was pretty good, 7.5 - 8. Phoenix is one of the few actors that can pull this role off and he does it well. The beginning of the movie where he hands the card to the lady on the bus saying he has a mental illness reminding of my NY days riding the subway and that exact same thing...

I'm on episode 6 of this and it's pretty good. Cohen doesn't really do a lot of serious roles so this is different but he's very good in this. Also learned some stuff as I didn't know much of the politics of 1960's Syria and the rise of the Ba'ath.

Honestly I look at that award as an cumulative achievement for the entire run (similar to what the oscars did for Return of the King). The only other Emmy it won was supporting actor for Tyrion. Lost out on the directing and writing. For as many nominations as it had, GOT actually did not...

The zeppelins are the biggest reference but I get your point, there isn't anything like robots or mechanical stuff. I guess mixing industrialized with fantasy in a victorian setting makes it feel steampunk. Like this image lends itself to steampunk.

There's not a ton of fighting or battles but it does have a 'steampunk' feel to it (although I agree it's not heavy). It actually reminded me a lot of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum:_Of_Steamworks_and_Magick_Obscura

Show was very good, at least an 8/10. I felt bad for that one guy with the kobolds (little guys in the street show) and they wind up getting deported because he fell asleep at the police station. He winds up being an advisor to the Chancellor in the end. I actually thought they rushed the...

Yea this one kind of came out of nowhere. Problem is they are over cap now and the local talk is Justin Faulk is the odd one out since they couldn't come to contract terms. I can't complain with how the offseason went. They are at least as good as last year, probably a little better.

That's insane. Imagine a huge tornado that doesn't move for 24+ hours, that's the kind of damage over there.

I would guess this is pretty accurate, logged onto Atiesh around 7pm and had no queue, newb area (human) was pretty busy though.

It was ok I guess. It just doesn't feel like a comic book character's movie but maybe that's the point. If you took out the title it looks like it could be any generic movie about someone's decent into madness. Will probably wait on some reviews before deciding to see it.

Are there any must have addons right now for leveling up?

Like most said, Matrix 1 is an all time movie. I'm not going to go so far as best Sci Fi ever but it was amazing for it's time and the impact it had on movies down the line. The first time he's getting chased by the agents in the office was edge of your seat stuff. I think the way 2 was...

New road uni's for the Canes. http://news.sportslogos.net/2019/08/20/carolina-hurricanes-unveil-new-road-white-uniform-for-2019-20/ Looks good although I would of preferred the lettering done differently. The logo on the helmet is sharp.

I'd say go for it if enough teams have opened up.

Only thing I'll say about counseling is that it's mostly allows you to communicate more with your spouse, usually in ways that you never did before (even in the best of times). Sometimes that's all some marriages need, you would be surprised how many marriages fail simply due to lack of...

I actually did pretty good, 30 packs 3 legendaries (Pally and Priest quest and Zephrys). Free legendary was Druid quest. Then I finished the play 100 cards quest and got Hunter quest.

You're right, it was even a YA book series (somewhat popular). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunger_Games

Based on the 2010 census, 5% is still higher than asians (4.8%) yet I'm fairly certain I've seen asians in more than 4.8% of movies in my lifetime without too much of a fuss about it.

I agree the CGI at the end looks weird. I'll probably still check it out because Scorsese more often than not puts out quality work. I'm actually shocked Pesci looks as good as he does considering he's been out of the game for so long. How do you do a movie like this without Liotta making a...

I thought it was average. The animation really was amazing, it makes movies like Avatar look old. But that animation does come at a price. Because the animals are basically lifelike it's really hard to replicate human emotions, even mouth patterns. It's a kids movie and my kid thought it was...

I thought he looked more the part but all I keep hearing is Tom Hanks, not Mr. Rogers. Watched a lot of Mr. Rogers (plus Sesame Street and Electric Company) so if they are able to nail all the supporting characters (Mr. McFeely, etc.) it should be ok. Unless it's a trainwreck it's got Oscars...

So basically according to this if you can't have kids due to factors out of your control (medical), your life has no meaning? Adoption isn't for everyone either.

Raising kids is an enormous responsibility, the biggest one you'll probably ever have in your entire life. There is a certain percentage of people that do not want that responsibility for various reasons of their own. No one should be forced into that responsibility because they are being told...

Happened a lot in the NES days. I seem to remember one instance where I made pretty good progress on Metal Gear and I kicked the console as I was getting up which caused the screen to freeze/mess up. Was pretty annoyed at the time. It's why I've never been of fan of games with save...

I agree, what makes it great are all the reactions to them singing. Hopper and then Joyce turning toward the door was classic. I would expect Suzy to show up more in S4.

I voted for the obvious stuff (morenetz, Draegan, Ravvenn, etc.). Some of the choices (IMO) are very user specific that I'm not sure involved a majority of the board but maybe I'm wrong on that. One thing I didn't see was when the pic (was it Jefflys?) of Bill Nye was posted where he wrote...

Paul Reiser (I think) in S2 mentions something like 'can you imagine if what we have gets into Russian hands' so all they did way play that up to the extreme. The show really forces you to not take it seriously (especially this last season) and it does it really well. I get the argument about...

Just finished this. It was great, right up there with S1. I agree with everyone else, it's hard to see where they go with the story from here without it simply being another retread 'let's kill the mindflayer'. I think the end of S2 has allowed Eleven to get more confident with her powers, she...

One of the things they flew over (in the current movie) was the Pridelands from Lion King.

Took the kids to see this last week and this type of movie will be judged on what they think since at the end of the day it's a kids/family movie. They both liked it. Not great I got to see it again but good/average. Which I guess is a step up from the expectations? Will Smith was the...

Canes officially signed Aho Sunday I think. Funniest thing was national media thinking the Canes can't afford 21 mil and Dundon (Canes owner) kinda laughed at that (same guy who threw something like 80 mill down the drain for the AAFL). Also signed Mrazek so the top 2 priorities were taken...

House building question, how big of a deal is it to hire an independent pre-drywall inspection. The house isn't a custom home/floorplan. We are getting a pre-move in inspection with the builder.
