Yeah, Altuve is a bitch.

So ready for this.

Yeah, that kind of thing has happened a fair amount in college sports and in some pro soccer leagues. Don't think it's ever happened in any of the major American pro leagues though.

IF there's a problem with Cousins it's really just his contract. He's a pretty good QB that would be an upgrade for a lot of teams.

I butchered that. I meant that it doesn't mean that the Dodgers win the title.

If Astros don't cheat that doesn't default mean Dodgers do. That just glosses over the fact that they might not have beat the other AL teams.

I just don't find much about what he does to be very entertaining/engaging. I mean he's clearly exceptional at what he does, I just don't like watching it.

As a random thing, has there ever been a player as historically good as Harden on team that could legit win a round or 2 in the playoffs that's been this awful to watch?

Show is really good. There's certainly elements of that stuff, but it actually fits into the narrative and works fine.

That's possibly true.

Will probably watch at some point.

They wouldn't have had much of an investigation without essentially giving the players immunity. It's not like it's a government investigation with subpoena power.

I mean this is kind of what everyone expected to have happen. It's not like anyone was ever going going to be sent to prison over any of this shit. It wasn't likely that they were going vacate wins/titles/awards or force the owner to sell at a huge profit.

Or they can just stop getting married when they're in their mid 20s in this kind of situation. It's not like people didn't know what Jeter was doing.

I get why they want to increase pace, but this rule is a pretty dramatic change to bullpen useage and I kind of hate it.

I mean I'm sure this kind of shit is pretty common, but him of all people being called out on it certain;y isn't a good look.

I mean normally it's the highest seed vs the lowest. This just gives the higher seed options if they prefer a different matchup. The fact that they might not choose the lowest seed already adds some variance. Or we can just add more hoops. Each team plays a Bowling tournament against every...

The idea is to give the biggest advantage to the choosing team. That's literally the whole point the highest seed gets the easiest matchup.

Jacksonville?!?!?!

I don't really care if the threads get merged, or retitled or whatever. It doesn't really matter to me which thread gets talk about standard or other formats that also are on arena. This thread obviously is where most of the collection and old format stuff happens, but not sure we have enough...

My goodness.

Better than Munich, Good Night and Good Luck, Capote, and Brokeback Mountain?

She's not really a side character though. She started that way, but she was wildly popular and has become a major character that has her own comics etc. Many popular comic characters start out as minor characters.

Yeah but look at all these attractive people having relationship stress/drama over dumb shit! Doesn't matter if it doesn't make any sense.

Yeah those shows went from superhero shows with CW casts to CW shows with some superhero flavor and it was all cringe as fuck.

Not bad. This could go either way but I'm sure I'll end up watching it.

Indeed. Also, once again, this scandal has given Jomboy a much bigger audience which he deserves.

I mean Parasite was good. I didn't think it was amazing, but honestly I don't think any of the movies really were. It was a year with a bunch of good movies without any actual stand outs.

Wonder Woman is at least in the ballpark of the Iron Man sequels. The first Iron Man is real good though and the first GotG is my favorite MCU movie so none of the DC has come close.

Yeah but with 2.5 times the budget, it needs to make 2.5 times the box office. If it's making the same money it's bombing.

I mean it's been good in basically every iteration except Leto. Nicholson was real good, and the TV ones as well. It's just a great character.

Except that John Wick 2 had a budget of 40 million and this movie's budget was almost 100 million.

Suicide Squad is probably the worst of the DC movies. Worse than BvS even. At least that movie had Cavil going for it, and some actual cool individual moments/scenes even if overall it was a shitty mess. Suicide Squad has none of those scenes/moments.

Steroid era dudes need to compared to their era and not as all time metrics. I don't think McGwire or Sosa should get in, but Clemens, Arod, and Bonds should be no-brainers.

McGwire is just a HR guy, if he hit 430 HR nobody would be talking about him being in the HoF. ARod, Bonds, and Clemens are different and if steroids were as obviously prevalent as they were at the time they should be in. As you stated you can have a separate section for that era and people...

Twins!

I mean I'm not sure what people expected. Did you really think they'd just make the characters all interesting and powerful on their own without having to shit on everyone around them instead? Did people not watch the trailers? I think the surprise would have been if they had done that not...

Listening to Simmons bitch about the Betts trade is awesome.

Yeah, I really liked most of the first season. The sister stuff was so bad though. But no more of that hopefully!

Yeah Carr is at least decent. A bit over 20m a season isn't even totally absurd salarywise.
