I think my issue with the casting, after thinking more on it was the rest of the team. They seemed so much younger than him, or him older. It just seemed a little off to me. But that's a really picky point for a movie I really liked.
-
Obviously. But to be fair, it could be one of those preview games where it's technically still within the ST time frame but playing elsewhere like an exhibition game. That I wouldn't know. But the Jays train in FL and the Rangers in AZ. I keep up on it somewhat as I'm in FL every spring.
-
Really? How will that happen? Last I knew the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues didn't intermingle at all.
-
It's on my list, too.

That has been going on since Watergate. I also think that's where the tide made a major turn for more good, young people getting into the political scene on various levels. While there always has been scandal on one level or another, that was the worst and I think the effects we are seeing now is a lack of real true quality choices because it turned off generations of real involvement.
-
That sounded so petty jealous, too.
-
Aaaaaand ... it's official. It's KC and Toronto in the ALCS.
-
It takes one to know one.
-
Although it's not over, I'd say KC just advanced and Houston is done. Both Texas teams out should make Dave happy.
-
I think you forgot this is Chief. He still considers the abacus newfangled.
-
And thanks for running the contest and doing all the post-regular season 'figgering!'

Posting is now only text for me

yeah, I knew that. Well, I knew it was a very limited time frame editing was allowed; I wasn't sure what the time frame was, but knew that it was relatively short. -
By the way ... just a moderator note here, in case any site users were wondering ... this isn't spam; this is a legitimate questionnaire for a legitimate class.

I think this is spot on. As I've said many times before, he reminds me a bit of Paul Wellstone in his approach ... I think he says what he says out of sincerity and true belief/passion.
-
Ditto.
-
Lol ... that direct honesty is your hallmark, Chief.

I don't think his campaign is about himself. I don't think it's ego-driven, if that's what you meant about being about himself. I think it's overly idealistic, though. I think he's genuine in what he thinks and says, whether I agree with him or not. (I do on a lot of issues, though). He is well-loved by those he represents. But is he a leader, in, is he presidential? I have my doubts. He says a lot of things that resonate with a lot of people ... so did Obama in 2008. In Bernie's case, as I said, I think he's overly idealistic; in Obama's case, he was naive and really unprepared for what he was hit with, but I think he eventually grew into the job (in 2014). I think Bernie will hit just as many roadblocks for very different reasons.

My point was, it wouldn't have mattered what the Twins had done. Maddon was going to the Cubs before he resigned his position from the Rays. He would never have resigned his position with the Rays for the Twins, imo. Maddon was never, ever available to or for us, no matter the offer, not at that time. That's what I think, and there is no amount of anything anyone can say that would make me think otherwise. While there are plenty of other times I wish the Twins would have more aggression and make certain deals, this was just one that was never going to happen no matter what. Anyway ... this is getting a bit off course of either cheering for the Cubs and their victory, or ... as I said earlier ... meh.
-
I can't like this enough on every.single. point.
-
Nope. Not luck at all. I'm sure it was all planned out before Maddon officially stepped down in Tampa.
-
I like Chicago ... but I like Minneapolis better. But the best Chicago team to cheer on ... wait for it ... TwinsNorth? ... Blackhawks, baby! Sorry, but so so so so many 'yuppies who think it's cool to cheer on the Cubs' fans. yuck. I pretty much agree with Dave on all counts on this. But, I do know some true blue Cubs' fans, and I am happy for them. One who got the opportunity to be at tonight's game, so that's great. But you won't find me cheering them on. Since Pittsburgh dropped out, I'm going with the Mets for the NL ... but I'll be cheering on any of the AL teams over them.

That photo should serve as a reminder that cosmetic surgery doesn't always turn out well.

The book is also titled 'The Martian.'
-
Yeah ... that's why I decided to see the movie first, in this case. After all the discussion on the book, I didn't want to read it and then be marginally disappointed in the movie ... which, as I said, I really enjoyed. I just wasn't sold on Matt Damon ... not sure why, because I think he did a fine job, but I just wasn't sold ... and maybe once I read the book, it'll convince me one way or the other. Not sure about Jessica Chastain, either ... but I liked everyone else. And, it's definitely a movie to see.
