        under Hillary, they probably would have passed a meaningless repeal bill for her to veto, so they'd be further along -- nm - crash davis Jul 13, 09:36
    - Yeah, but I have a crazy thought I would like to share when I get time to type out my insanity -- nm - crash davis Jul 13, 09:18

  - [deleted] 5

    - *spits at you* -- nm - David Jul 13, 09:27
  - are you serious? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 13, 09:14 2
    - ayup -- nm - prayformojo Jul 13, 09:27 1
      - that is fantastic - its a beautiful episode -- nm - Epiphany Jul 13, 09:36
- this list is curiously short of dragon based television -- nm - crash davis Jul 13, 09:05 2
  - It wasn't eligible.. - Marlowe Jul 13, 09:06 1
    - the eligibility is fair, its far more deserving than some of what got nominated like the last season of HoC or The Leftovers -- nm - crash davis Jul 13, 09:27
- THey really need to increase their nomination pool to 8 to 10 per category. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 08:49

    - Something, something, burn this place to the ground.... - Shardik the Baron Jul 13, 08:58
    - Bad year for him, but I imagine Jonathan Banks competition hurt McKean. Too bad. McKean deserved it. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 13, 08:49
It's fake news that a 3,000-pound shark was caught in Lake Michigan - crash davis Jul 13, 08:35 1

Avocado ice cream. -- nm - Shardik the Baron Jul 13, 08:35 12
- Kiwi sorbet was always a hit when I made it (although I added liqueur to it, sooo...) -- nm - kelly Jul 13, 09:15
- As for amanda's dilemma, I would suggest something with peaches or pears. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 09:02

  - He had an attitude for awhile.... - Remlik Jul 13, 08:50
  - JBL happened. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 08:50 3
    - yeah he is. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 08:53 2
      - I'm glad we've gotten Mauro back in NXT. -- nm - Tim Jul 13, 08:56 1

- Well, that explains a lot. -- nm - David's iPad Jul 13, 08:48

Cubs acquire Jose Quintana from White Sox -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 08:33 22
- He was expensive but Quintana is the real deal. -- nm - zunk xometimes Jul 13, 08:44 12
  - Funny all the chatter earlier this year that the Cubs and Sox could never make a deal. -- nm - zunk xometimes Jul 13, 08:46 11
    - it is rare in the past, but we gave up Sammy Sosa for Jorge Bell. -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 08:46 10
      - Hopefully this one is win-win. -- nm - pmb Jul 13, 08:54 9
        
        if anything, the deal should give us the best farm system in baseball. -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 08:55 8
        
        You wish. -- nm - David's iPad Jul 13, 09:09 7
        
        are you joking? we have 5 of the top 30 prospects, 3 in the top 15 by my count. -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:10 6
        
        Not at all. We have nine prospects in The mid-season top 100 and the only reason it's not ten is one just blew his Ucl. -- nm* - David's iPad Jul 13, 09:14 5
        
        let's see..... - groiny Jul 13, 09:18 4
        
        that is 9 in the top 70 according to my prospect lists -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:19 3
        
        Baseball America posted theirs last week. That's what I'm referencing. -- (link) - David Jul 13, 09:30 2
        
        well, even using your list, having prospects #1 and #5 should count more than a couple at 80-90 -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:45 1
        
        Sure but as I said when that list came out, Acuna's the #1 prospect in baseball at this point. - David Jul 13, 10:00
- Wow. Really? Who did we give up? -- nm - pmb Jul 13, 08:34 8
  - Eloy Jiminez, Dylan Cease are the 2 big names -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 08:34 7
    - Jimenez is going to be really good. What is Quintana's contract situation? -- nm - pmb Jul 13, 08:35 6
      - I have the 2 big names being the Cubs #1 and #2 overall prospects -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 08:36
      - team friendly until 2020 IIRC -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 08:35 4
        
        How happy or unhappy should I be about this? Quintana's not having the year I expected. -- nm - pmb Jul 13, 08:38 3
        
        he has been very consistant over the years, I would expect he will be - groiny Jul 13, 08:45 1
        
        good teammate, good athlete, Jon Lester type stuff, but he can throw to first. -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 08:46
        
        He's talented so you gotta hope the change of scenery gets him back to where he was. -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 08:40
