I wouldn't be opposed to bringing back Reyes in 2018, if they can get him for a low enough salary. I don't think it will happen, but it's in the realm of possibility.

A 1973-style surge would be a lot of fun. If the Mets can't get anything good for players like Bruce and Duda, let's just keep them and see what happens.

Centerfield wrote: I find I'm sad to see him go. This makes it sound as if a trade has been announced and he's officially gone. I'm not seeing anything. Has he been traded, or are you anticipating?

I also read that the Cubs are jonesing for Rene Rivera.

I've seen all of the top 22. I agree about The Rocketeer; I really liked that movie and it should be ranked higher. It could easily swap positions with Iron Man 3. I also think that, as low as it's ranked, Dick Tracy should be ranked even lower. I was trying to think of any movies that you've missed, but nothing's coming to me. If I think of anything, I'll be back!

Mike Puma in the Post says that we can expect to see Reed and Cabrera dealt this week, but the others (Granderson, Bruce, Duda, Walker...) may stick around a little longer and, if they get dealt, it would be in a waiver deal in August. As it stands, team officials are relatively confident in finding matches that would move Addison Reed and Asdrubal Cabrera by the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, but there is less optimism that deals involving Jay Bruce, Lucas Duda and Curtis Granderson, among others, will be consummated, according to major league sources.

The home office in Stockholm pretty much insists on it! I'm lucky they even let me take a vacation!

And it's not here. That's an excellent point. Hopefully they'll touch on the great power/great responsibility thing in future films. It is a key part of who Spider-Man is and why he does what he does. But it was a very enjoyable movie nonetheless.

Hopefully tomorrow! Hang in there!
