  1. Altered Carbon is a great book if you like that sort of thing (I do), and the show was a fair representation. I enjoyed it, but, as with any book nerd, I wished it was closer to the text. It was never going to be though. It was close enough to keep my interest throughout. I'm curious if a second season gets the go ahead and how they handle it. Obviously easy to get a new full cast with the nature of the tech, but I wonder if they will take it to Sanction IV from Broken Angels or if they jump straight to the third book.
  2. I can't listen to the TV broadcast. As bad as what is being put on the field, what is in the booth is worse. Hell, I rather have Radigan back in there.
  3. Daniels has lost a lot of his supporting staff over the last few years, Preller & Servais come to mind immediately. It will be interesting to see if he can pull out another rebuild.
  4. It is going to be a long rebuild. We don’t have the assets on the farm or much worth trading for.
  5. I'm probably overreacting. This just seems like another swing and a miss for Daniels in trades for pitchers. Besides the obvious great move of getting Lee, I am not thinking of a good pitching trade off of the top of my head.
  6. Thanks @SKJ I'll try to check them out next time I am up in Denver. I'm down in the Springs, and I am on a few different lists for Blanton's availability.
  7. Hamels looks to be on the Jered Weaver career arc with his velocity and effectiveness unfortunately.
  8. Might be to make room for Perez instead though.
  9. Yeah, I think he will be shuffled upstairs after this season. It will be interesting to see who is the next (hopefully) coach.
  10. True. The sins of the team fall to the captain though, founded or not. At the end of the day, I think it is really more Hitchcock's system, the lack of another scoring line, and Bishop going down in no particular order.

    Pete Rose

    I think there is a chance he gets in after he dies. Although I'm not heartbroken that he isn't in there now. When it comes to sports, there really is one major rule, don't get caught gambling. Everything else is variable and depends on the whims of the voters, and we already know that quite a few of the MLB voters are idiots.
  12. Beastmode Jaime would have been useful during that losing streak
  13. You are actually the first person that I have found that likes Breckenridge Bourbon. I was up there back in December and they are starting to get a few different versions out there, including some port cask aged ones.
  14. I wonder if Chirinos is going out for any time after that slide from Lucroy last night? I know this is a minor league deal, but could mean someone else is getting called up.
  15. If anything, I could see a younger version of himself if he made a host version. But I think with his attitudes towards the end, he would have deleted it if he had a host.
  16. @Godzillatron Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add them to the list.
  17. Choo was always going to be really ugly at the end of his contract. Unfortunately, he has never lived up to any part of his contract. Bad move from the onset.
  18. I did DC to Seoul once non-stop...18 hours... I broke that flight up in the future. I think I finished a couple of books during that one.
  19. @'stache I've got a bottle of this Whistle Pig as well. Definitely one of my fav's.
