  - whatever it is, Rosenthal says it's a done deal and players are being informed now -- nm - ML Dec 16, 09:11 15
    - Here we go. It's a threeway! -- (link) - ML Dec 16, 09:12 14
      - I'm glad we got Frazier (as had been rumored) but why did we trade for Lawrie? -- nm - iSpam Dec 16, 09:15 11
        
        my assumption is that they'll slot him in at 2B -- nm - ML Dec 16, 09:17 10
        
        That would be odd since they already have two kids there. - iSpam Dec 16, 09:20 9
        
        And yep, looks like that's it -- (link) - ML Dec 16, 09:28
        
        Frazier is a two-time All Star in 2014/2015. He's not going to play behind kids. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 16, 09:25 6
        
        I meant Lawrie, not Frazier. -- nm - spamlet Dec 16, 09:29 4
        
        Ah. Lawrie's going to 2B in the deal. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 16, 09:34
        
        Sanchez can play SS, Micah Johnson is on his way to LA. -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 09:32 2
        
        Sanchez isn't a long term SS though if Anderson sticks there. -- nm - spamlet Dec 16, 09:39 1
        
        no, but I doubt Anderson is ready to go for 2016, they need someone for now. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 09:39
        
        I was referring to Lawrie playing at 2B, Frazier at 3rd. -- nm - ML Dec 16, 09:27
        
        Frazier can play LF too. -- nm - ML Dec 16, 09:22
      - Oh, wow. This is going to be a big deal. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 16, 09:13 1
        
        White Sox To Acquire Todd Frazier -- (link*) - Kylo Bud Dec 16, 09:14
- for what? -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 09:07 13
  - that's basically all we know--but apparently it's not Puig - ML Dec 16, 09:08 12
    - My guess is Peraza. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 16, 09:11 11
      - "Peraza, Dixon, Schebler go to Reds" -- nm - ML Dec 16, 09:18 10
        
        That puts Billy Hamilton on notice since Peraza is basically the same player. - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 16, 09:24
        
        "Dodgers getting Montas, Micah Johnson and Trayce Thompson" -- nm - ML Dec 16, 09:18 8
        
        Wait, what? - spamlet Dec 16, 09:31 7
        
        what don't you like about it? -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 09:37 4
        
        But I guess it's a good sign that they are doubling down on last offseason. -- nm - spamlet Dec 16, 09:42 1
        
        look at the lineup now...... - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 09:45
        
        I don't mind zigging when everyone else is zagging but they should take note of what happened last time we emptied the farm system. -- nm - spamlet Dec 16, 09:41 1
        
        Johnson has failed when he was called up, Thompson is a 4th OF with a bit of upside. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 09:43
        
        You're not alone. -- (link) - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 16, 09:33 1
        
        None of the three are proven and they all have issues but all three are more or less MLB ready. - spamlet Dec 16, 09:38

Star Trek Beyond" Will Effectively Ignore "Into Darkness" - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 08:53 10
- The internet has already pointed out that the events of "Star Trek" and "Into Darkness" effectively eliminate the need for space travel at all. -- nm - Be Be 8 Dec 16, 09:37 2
  - I would love a link to an explanation of that, if one is readily available. (I haven't seen the movies.) -- nm - mara Dec 16, 09:43 1
    - spoilers - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 16, 09:50
- *shrug* the new movie takes place a couple of years later. -- nm - Remlik Five standing by! Dec 16, 09:19 1
  - True. Two and a half years after Into Darkness, so the midway point of the traditional five-year mission. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 09:30
- Three movies in and it's already a clusterfuck. - TWuGbacca Dec 16, 09:18 1

Huh? Does that mean it's out for delivery or......? - Meg Dec 16, 08:46 3
- I wonder if it means the actual status hasn't been uploaded yet? -- (link) - mara Dec 16, 08:52 2
  - Kind of what I figured. 9:30 seemed a little late for it to make it into the delivery but that's just the posting time. -- (edited) - Meg Dec 16, 08:57 1
    - And now it's "out for delivery"!! - Meg Dec 16, 09:00

- *nods* anything using .38 ammo early on is no bueno. ie Pipe Pistols - Jovian Dec 16, 09:10 2
  - 10mm are generally pretty weak too, although the Deliverer is one of the best rare weapons in the game. -- nm - decline Dec 16, 09:23
  - I just hit Level 48 -- nm - decline Dec 16, 09:12
- you just need to upgrade them -- nm - decline Dec 16, 08:46 13
  - I am only level 4, so they are not very good right now. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 08:51 12
    - Yeah, at low levels run away alot. I think 3 of the most important Special Abilities are 'Gun Nut', 'Science' and 'Armorer' -- nm - decline Dec 16, 09:05 3

        do you know the trick to getting the really good gun at the start of the game? -- nm - ML Dec 16, 08:55 5
        
        the problem with that gun is you run out of ammo and can't find more (groiny inside) - decline Dec 16, 09:01 2
        
        is that gun gonna make the game too damn easy? - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 09:05 1
        
        nope. Like I said, very limited ammo so only use it if you absolutely have to. -- nm - decline Dec 16, 09:06
        
        obviously not -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 08:57 1

Spawn...in regards to Darth Maul being resurrected...spoils for Clone Wars - Remlik Five standing by! Dec 16, 08:14
One thing I'd like to request of ST since I'll be late seeing STAR7. Can people who see it grade the spoilers on a 1-10 scale? - ShaunShaun Dec 16, 08:14 4
- And for fuck sake, make sure those spoilers are gluten free. -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 08:47
- 1-10 is rather difficult, though. I could see a couple levels. Maybe minor, mid and major? -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 08:25 2
  - This should be fine. -- nm - ShaunShaun Dec 16, 08:50 1
    - I figure minor are like funnies or those that do not really spoil plot, mid are some wow moments, and major are OMFG moments? -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 08:54
