  1. Framber leading the league in DPs induced.
  2. Yes... GOTW is subject to BO restrictions/
  3. NL: Padres over, Phillies under AL: Detroit over, A's under
  4. Aren't all bridge accidents essentially man-made?
  5. Started watching this last night. These shows were well after my time. I was barely plugged in for the early days of YCDTOT. There was definitely a lot of skeevy shit going on, but some of the stuff they highlighted was a stretch. Like saying that that big nose character had a cock and balls on the shoulders of his costume and that that the giant sneeze was a cumshot joke. It was a snot joke - something kids find hilarious. But I guess you don't earn any benefit of the doubt when you're a shit person. When you prove yourself to be a huge perv, everything you did gets interpreted through that perv lens. I did laugh at Ray Romano hungrily stroking a pickle that was passed through a glory hole. Probably shouldn't have been on a kids' show, though.
  6. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.

  8. She's the character that makes the least sense in the series adaptation. She's a partial analog for the main character in the first book, Wang Miao. The problem is that they split Wang Miao's story between two characters, Auggie and Jen. In the book, he is the materials scientist and he is the one who helps Da Shi investigate the scientist suicides and is also "Copernicus" in the 3 Body game who solves the game and is invited to the summit for Ye Wenjie's organization. In this series, Auggie only functions to give us a reveal of the countdown and to provide Chekov's nanofibers. They also saddled her with the overactive moral conscience for the group, which was pretty unnecessary and uninteresting considering the level of threat they are faced with. The good news is that Wang Miao completely disappears after the first book, so we are likely done with Auggie.
  9. Yes. Book one. About 90% of the way through. It led to the big reveal about sophons, etc. BTW... I like the change to "San-Ti" from "Trisolarans." I always felt that was a dumb name for them.
  10. Yes. The reasoning for that method of “attack” is more thoroughly fleshed out in the book
