  1. I can't decide if I feel this way on my own, or the articles are pushing me there.....but I enjoy the articles......and I probably like the show more than this series of posts shows. It's still good, it just isn't GREAT anymore.....IMO
  2. It's definitely rushed. 10 seasons would have been better, imo. But, at some point, everyone wants to move on (and they likely paid for 7)....
  3. The team won a good number of games last year, without a good Buxton. Or even a mediocre Buxton. They added Pineda, who the FO must have liked. They added Cruz and Cron and Shoop and Gonzalez. It looked like they thought they were on the verge of the playoffs, if not SERIOUS contenders (the FO pretty much said they weren't when misdirecting about why there weren't signing Machado or Harper).......so I don't really understand the plan. I don't understand trading your best RP if you think you are going to contend while he's under control. And if you don't think you are going to contend, I don't understand paying Cruz what they paid him.
  4. And this: https://www.theringer.com/game-of-thrones/2019/5/6/18531162/game-of-thrones-last-of-the-starks-cersei-daenerys-standoff
  5. Yes, Yes, Yes..... https://www.theringer.com/game-of-thrones/2019/5/6/18531053/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-4-exit-survey
  6. the first time I saw this online today, I thought it was a fake! But nope.
  7. As usual, I agree with Craig here: https://www.craigcalcaterra.com/blog/say-no-to-nancy-pelosis-sad-cynical-and-fearful-strategy
  8. I don't think any minor league catcher is going to catch more than 55% of the time. I just don't. That said, sure, one of them could be promoted.
  9. so true!
  10. There are Western vs Eastern race issues, imo. As for the Sansa stuff, that was her journey. She rationalizes like anyone that has lived thru trauma does, by saying it made her better. That actually seems realistic as a response. Doesn't mean it was the only way she could have gotten there.... I agree with a lot of this article. It has occurred because they only bought seven years, and because few wanted to write and act for more than that, I'd guess. They are rushing thru the parts where characters get to where they are over time. Sansa and Arya don't like Dany because she wants to rule them, not because she's Jon's girlfriend, that part is all wrong in the article.
  11. Why didn't the dragons fly really high and scout? Does Dany underestimate everyone? Why not go back East, and rule that continent, and let Jon have the West? Humans could have just sailed to the other continent, and not died fighting death. The Jon exit scene looked like a goodbye from the North....
  12. Why does Cersei honor the parlay? Why not just kill Dany and her advisors right there? It would have been in character. Does Euron figure out the real father given Tyrion's speech?
  13. I'm the opposite. The show runners are terrible at battle and war strategy, so I prefer the character work. There are plenty of ways to equalize the battle without stupidity. Though, I do agree the dragons pose a real problem to any realistic defense.
  14. That was my thought.
  15. At this point, if every Lord and Lady was dead but Sansa, I'd be happy with that. You could write some good books about the lesser houses pursuing power.... Is Jaime really going to help Cersei, or was he just pushing brienne away?
  16. I liked it, but damn they are stupid bad at being at sea. They had to know Euron was around. Split the dragons. Have scouts. Just once, be smart at war.
  17. UNH has been good you, I assume.
  18. I plan to smoke ribs, cheese, steak, and brisket.....
  19. If I ever make money again, a smoker is on the top of the list. But I'm too lazy to do the work Brock does. I'm sure I'll go a pellet feeder of some kind.
  20. Dead to Me on Netflix. Great writing and acting. The dialogue is so real.
  21. I literally have no idea your point with this post.
  22. Why can't Garver lead off? He gets hits. On the topic, I expect Sano to be about 25-35 percent better than league average this year. Overall? I don't expect this team to be one of the best hitting teams ever. That seems unlikely.
  23. Garver is a baseball player. Plain and simple. Nice win.
  24. My racist grandmother did. She can't be the only one....
