Fordham84 said to keep it going, I believe

Oh, okay

They are classics, never get old. I 31 years old and I still want a light saber. Disney might screw things up now that they bought the rights but the classics will always be there. I have to admit, I am interested to see what they do though.

Your picture is delightful. The Big Lebowski is my favorite movie.

Your picture is delightful. The Big Lebowski is my favorite movie.

Thanks, it is definitely on of my top 5. Great movie and Jeff Bridges is awesome. The Dude is probably one of my favorite characters ever.

I you haven't seen Paths of Glory with Kirk Douglas, go rent it. It's a war/anti-war movie. By the same director of Dr. Strangelove, Stanley Kubrick. Amazing flick.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Not really an all out war movie from what i remember but the bridge on the river kwai...amazing.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Not tough at all, The Natural

Major League, Field of Dreams, Bad New Bears (old) & Bull Durham with honorable mention

''My dad wanted me to be a baseball player''. Awesome scene

 

[jta4437]

Didn't see anyone say, "We Were Soldiers"

Sam Elliot is awesome in that

Catch 22 for me.

I say good. That should send a message. JD is not playing games. Choo and Boras can take what is on the table or go somewhere else.

It might send a message (which I'm for) but ultimately might leave us without a leadoff hitter thats worth a damn, that could shoot a hole right in the foot of any plans we have for next season quick

 

[fordman84]

I thought you were supposed to make a new thread after 10,000 comments.

We were, then I heard we weren't, and now I hear again that we should.

So I'm going to lock this thread and start a part2.

You are right in that we really could use him as our leadoff hitter. But you and I know that enough is enough. I am not sure what the actual offer JD has on the table other than what Terps has stated he think it may be. But I have a feeling it is a fair offer and I am not too keen on going past 6 years.

 

[fordman84]

We rolled over 10k, let's do it again!

Did we set an all time record.

 

[fordman84]

Did we set an all time record.

I'm not sure. Most are locked as soon as they hit 10k, so we might have. However, there are some threads that are on version 6 and beyond, I think the night shift thread is like version 12.

I would say we probably do have one of the highest post threads now

Looks like Tanaka isn't getting posted. It probably helps Choo's and Boras' cause in milking a few extra million from the Rangers at least.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

So Rakuten is going to offer Tanaka 7.7 mill a year which is a record in Japanese baseball. MLB will beat that easily.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I am not seeing that yet. I am seeing Tanaka wants to go to MLB and his team wants to keep him.

Not just need one, but rolling with Martin or others at the leadoff might derail the offense, so all this talk about improving may end up being moot, so careful what we wish for

With no Choo there's a good chance the offense has a similar problem scoring runs b/c there is no catalyst at the top of the lineup
