    I assume there was no flayed man either.....

    If we stopped reading the books because of non-sensical plot lines, well, not sure how far we would have made it......I seem to remember liking the Dorne parts, mostly. Really, there are like 3-5 book series in this series.....but they are all mashed into one.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Well, there were no Lions or Wolves....does that help?
  4. Mike Sixel
    My eyes, what have you done to my eyes!

    Tyrell ships would explain the size....was wondering about that. Is it better to send more ships, though? Wouldn't a combo land/sea (and I know they can still attack from land) attack be better? I think Cersei tries to "burn them all", and Jaime kills her, then himself. Most of the combatants die, leaving Dany and 2 of the dragons to join the fight in the North with about 1/3 her army.* *I don't know if I think that, it just occurred to me. I gave it as much thought as it took to type. Like about 1/2 my posts here.....

    I don't know, could Arya or the Hound get over that "ending" to their relationship? Here is a "theory" I don't believe......Varys is working the Qyburn, and they programmed the mountain to kill Cersei at some point (just throwing this out for fun, I don't believe it for a minute).

    I do think it matters some, yes. While I admire what the Astros did, I don't think most businesses are willing to do that. Operating under the assumption that the owner and FO don't want to punt the year, it matters. It might also matter so they aren't tempted to rush a prospect, or put one in a position that isn't right (May to the bullpen). So, while I am frustrated, and largely want it blown up, I don't know I'd leave it a black hole.....

    Funny, I just went to read the chat and was going to post that!

    I admit to liking Vielma's upside less than I should have in the past. Looking forward to his continued progress!
  10. Mike Sixel
    Pedro or Maddux or Kershaw, probably. But I haven't thought too hard about it.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I could be ok with them as villains of some kind....but I generally agree, they were very one dimensional and chaotic neutral/evil.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I wonder how much the FO thinks it is bad luck, vs bad personnel? At some point, they really believed in some/many of these players......and it isn't easy to change an opinion once it is formed.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I think that's my thought also.....not sure how I feel about the sand snakes, since I can't recall the books anymore, it has been so long.
  14. Mike Sixel
    There are days I want it to be jaime....there are days I want to hate him since he's willing to kill an entire planet to have sex with 1 woman. Remember his speech....same speech Cersei gave, just a different list of things that are the goal. There are days I want it to be someone else, but that list changes.....Arya, the Hound (though he probably kills his brother, freeing someone else to kill Cersei), Sansa (hahahahahaha), not sure.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure the money matters, if they don't carry over money from year to year......they won't be buying FAs next year, it is a terrible class. I do get both sides of the Santana argument, though.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Don't get me wrong, I wanted a blow up 3 years ago.....but I am listening to the side that thinks (rightly, I think) have a veteran or two helps along the way. Although, the Astros are right back in it, so maybe they were right.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That's like 1/4th of the books.... not sure the show changes at all, except we don't get one of the more entertaining characters...
  18. Mike Sixel
    I had no issue with 1 signing, maybe 2.....so if you do something with Nolasco, and assume you get nothing from Hughes....you are left with 1 veteran signing. I think keeping 1 veteran is a good idea.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I agree with you, they needed to (and I think Levi has been saying this) get to less locations/teams in play. And, I have no issue with Varys in Dorne (I think I predicted that), I just don't see how he got back that fast. A nit......very small nit.....in a great episode.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I kind of like the alliance building and politics.... And, I'm not even asking for more of that, I'm just suggesting, I don't see how Varys got there, sold an alliance, and got back......that's all.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not asking them to show LotR scenes of walking and running thru the mountains......no one needs more of that, imo.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The music was awesome the entire episode. It should win some award just for that, imo.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't see any chance Buxton is traded. I know it's not gold....but he was barely in the top 50 most valued assets on Fangraphs trading value chart, last year.....he's a year older, and has shown that, SO FAR, he can't hit MLB pitching. I think he's worth a lot less than his upside right now, and I just can't see how he could possibly be dealt for value. Who is going to give up multiple highly regarded prospects for him right now?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Rosario is not going back to 2B.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I understand the desire to trade EVERYONE.....I just don't think it happens. I am also not 100% sure it should happen. I am highly conflicted on a few cases for older players: Dozier.....he won't be good in 3-6 years, when this team should be peaking, but he's also likely to be good for a couple years. I am not sure on Polanco, nor do I see another option he's really blocking. If you are sold on Polanco, you deal him. If not, I think you keep him unless you get a good lottery ticket back. Santana.....you need 5 starters. I don't think he brings much back. I also think having one veteran the other starters can talk to and learn from does matter. I don't think Hughes can do that from the DL or bullpen, and given how Nolasco talks, I'm not sure I want that to be him. I'd probably keep him around, despite my feeling he's not part of the next great Twins' team. Suzuki.....every team needs a veteran catcher. I don't mind Suzuki as a backup, I mind him as the primary option that is never PH for, and who wears out from too much playing time. If used properly, I think he adds value in the same way Santana does. That said....you could deal him and sign him or another veteran in the off season. I'd probably deal him, but if they kept him and used him correctly. I'd not be upset. Other than that, I'd probably deal everyone over 27 or whatever age you want to pick.
