If you were on board with the Twin Peaks revival, are you still with the departure of Lynch? - Jovian Apr 6, 10:00 6
- I don't think that is dead, but a new director working off of Lynch/Frost scripts might be an improvement. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 6, 10:10
- Not on board at all. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 6, 10:07
- Yes, since Lynch is clearly nuts now. -- nm - Ultron Apr 6, 10:01 3
  - but his being nuts was probably the magic. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 10:09
  - Now? -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 6, 10:07 1

So let's talk next HSX weekend (not this one, the next one). There's lot of stuff opening - ty97 Apr 6, 08:51 14
- child 44 was a great book but the trailer's not intriguing and frankly it doesn't deserve screen support. short. - amanda Apr 6, 09:10
- (the only one I've even seen a commercial for is that Blart crap. I really hope they do the novel justice with Child 44 (it was an excellent book). - decline (random thoughts) Apr 6, 09:05
- How many Ronin does it take to abduct Child 44? -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 08:56

  - I'm pretty sure teenagers don't even use the term. (the "Girl, bye" nt.) -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 08:55 3
    - Oh I agree with that - but they love anything with a social media element and this is horror? oh yeah. - Epiphany Apr 6, 08:59 2
      - Looks pretty ratchet to me. *emoji of pile of poo* -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 09:17 1
        
        hee! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 6, 10:07
- Blart is a long imo (ugh)...Unfriended might be in the right range....the other 2...short the options. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:53
- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ oh wha wha, Avengers 2 with Star Wars trailer soon? Better wake up for that -- nm - Bacon Apr 6, 08:52 1

- perfect weather in DC -- nm - Max Apr 6, 08:51
- YEAH!!! 1st place with the most runs scored and lowest ERA in baseball!!! -- nm - ???? Apr 6, 08:50 3
  - Rosenthal was throwing smoke last night. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:51 2
    - He is my personal biggest question mark on the season. If he can become a legit dominant, make batters piss themself closer - we'll do very well. -- nm - ???? Apr 6, 08:52 1
      - if he looks like he did last night, he is gonna be fine. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:53
- I had more enthusiasm about this yesterday. -- nm - David Apr 6, 08:48 43
  - I had enthusiasm about it until I realized who the Phil's have for their starting lineup - decline Apr 6, 09:02
  - Yesterday didn't count. Today is opening day! Yay, baseball! -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 08:54
  - It was the right move for the org. - musubi Apr 6, 08:52 32
    - Yup. Sucks to lose a guy you like but he is more valuable in a trade than on the field for the Braves. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 08:55 3
      - Except David is right about the timing. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 6, 09:03 2
        
        It's a risk-averse move, which is genius or stupid, depending on what happens over the next three months. -- nm - David Apr 6, 09:05 1
        
        Does Detroit not have any prospects? Seriously, just take 1 or 2 of their guys and Illitch would gladly take BJ and Kimbrel. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 09:57
    - As well as Kimbrel's. - David Apr 6, 08:52 27
      - Thing is, can you justify 15mil a year for a guy who's great, but also meaningless for a bottom feeder? - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:56 3
        
        That last 20% of talent is worth a premium for a contending club though. - musubi Apr 6, 09:03 1
        
        Which the Braves aren't for several years. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 09:05
        
        Oh, I agree with that part, but we just traded the best closer in the game for one legit prospect. - David Apr 6, 09:00
      - If Kimbrel's contract was burdensome, you might as well just close shop. - musubi Apr 6, 08:54 21
        
        I'm talking totality. - David Apr 6, 08:59 3
        
        You think they'll deal Freeman? - musubi Apr 6, 09:02 2
        
        Yes, Quentin is probably done in the majors. SD tried to trade him for over a year. - David Apr 6, 09:06 1
        
        an AL team could take a flier on him, he could sit in at DH for some teams. - groiny Apr 6, 09:07
        
        Atlanta saves 56mil in the deal in future obligations. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:56 8
        
        That's mostly BJ though. - musubi Apr 6, 08:59 7
        
        It's basically a lot of crap going back and forth (and Kimbrel for hte prospects) - Will Hunting Apr 6, 09:03 6
        
        Huh, I missed the DFA announcement. (nm) - musubi Apr 6, 09:04 5
        
        Like, within 10 minutes of the trade announcements. It's almost an NBA deal in that the money drove a lot of the situation. -- nm - David Apr 6, 09:14
        
        But only one prospect is thought to be anything solid. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 09:07 3
        
        Wisler is either their first and second best prospect. The other guy who trains with Bonds is #19 - David Apr 6, 09:15 2
        
        I saw that but how does that work? I thought they couldn't trade draft picks. -- nm - spamlet Apr 6, 09:47 1
        
        Stupid compensatory picks for "small market" teams. - musubi Apr 6, 09:58
        
        there were guys on MLB network who loved the deal from the Braves side. - groiny Apr 6, 08:56 7
        
        Keith Law does as well. There are some people who prefer money and prospects to actual MLB studs. - David Apr 6, 09:01 3
        
        I am not a fan of keeping closers long term, especially hard throwers like Kimbrel - groiny Apr 6, 09:02 2
        
        This is the primary piece in the deal. - David Apr 6, 09:04 1
        
        I can't see that link, I will check him out later. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 09:05
        
        Yeah, they didn't get enough talent back...for baseball, you just need to draft well, take a few lumps (Houston) and rebuild - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:58 2
        
        Sheer numbers wise, they practically got the majority of the Pads farm. - musubi Apr 6, 09:01 1
        
        The good news is that one of the Braves scouting directors just came from the Padres in November. - David Apr 6, 09:02
      - sometimes, you just have to courtesy flush. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:53
  - Go Preds? -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 08:51 4
    - You misspelled "B-L-U-E-S" -- nm - ???? Apr 6, 08:53 2
      - This year for sure! - Reagen Apr 6, 08:56 1
        
        We are the Cubs of the NHL, that's for sure. - ???? Apr 6, 08:59
    - Thank God for the NHL and NBA. - David Apr 6, 08:53
  - By the way...Cardinal fans are so obnoxious, they may have a Heyward statue up before our Opening Day. lol -- nm - ???? Apr 6, 08:51 1
