  1. Is this game not on victory +?
  2. Also, we need a new thread. Or at least a new thread title.
  3. Of note is that Pickens is on the last year of his contract. Probably gonna cost in the neighborhood of $25 million to franchise tag him for 2026. I assume with a decent year that he'll be looking for something like Tee Higgins money for an extension (4 years, $115 million, $41 million guaranteed).
  4. Per capita would be more interesting
  5. Maybe Boone has a good roids hookup or something
  6. we don't need to talk about the 2011 World Series...ever
  7. The guy probably wants to go into coaching and will be essentially a grad assistant that also suits up.
  8. Nice updates but fucking hell we need a lot of these guys to start doing it for country same as they do for their clubs.
  9. The upside is that streaming pitchers against the Rangers is now a cheat code in fantasy baseball.
  10. Counterpoint is that Endries was the top portal TE and we went out and got him. Don't think he came here with the understanding that he'd be a blocking surface.
  11. Not familiar with Benson Boone either but he appears to be the answer to the question “what if Harry Styles didn’t have any talent?”
  12. Cut the poor guy some slack. His last name is Cunts
  13. I don’t know who Quinta Brunson is but she’s good at this. This sign language skit is pretty funny
  14. Seager, Langford, and Jung is a pretty good core to start with. Unfortunately Semien is probably done and everyone else is dead weight. I thought I was living in crazy town this offseason when they kept trying to tell us that Pederson and Burger were impact additions. Neither of those guys has ever been anything more than average. If the Rangers don’t go hard after an impact bat in the offseason, or preferably trade for one this season, they ain’t serious about shit.
  15. @Scraps and @UTHornFan014 I’m looking at your offers, not ignoring them
  16. I need a warm body with 1B or 3B eligibility. Would be willing to trade OF or SS.
  17. Well, that and
  18. One thing that's been bugging me a little bit, in Empire Strikes Back, there's the iconic scene where Luke is flying away from Dagobah and Obi-wan says that Luke is their last hope. Yoda replies, "No, there is another", implying Leia. I've only ever seen the prequels once, but doesn't Obi-wan know that Leia is Luke's sister? Is that just a mistake in the script? Anyway I've been thinking way too much about SW lately since we started showing it to our kids. In retrospect, it's absolutely insane how badly Disney fumbled the sequel trilogy. This is the studio that had like a 30-movie plan for Marvel that made 75 trillion dollars, and they couldn't execute a 3-movie arc in a universe this rich? It's basically the same plot as the original trilogy. Oppressive authoritarian government led by bad guy dressed in all black fights against plucky rebels. Except this time they couldn't even keep the tone and direction straight for 3 consecutive movies. Every fucking screenwriter and director in Hollywood is probably a huge Star Wars nerd. Put out a call to submit a 3-page story arc for 3 movies and they would've gotten 20 more interesting and coherent ideas. For fucks' sake. I realize I'm not treading any new ground, here.
