  1. I'm telling you, Hulk, while being a (mostly) stinky movie, is canonical. The Incredible Hulk is generally classified as a reboot, but is more of a sequel, even if it's a sequel that allows you to ignore it's predecessor if you choose. Also, there are the several canonical TV shows. WHAT ORDER SHOULD I WATCH ALL THOSE EPISODES RELATIVE TO THE MOVIES, MAN?!
  2. Rocking the International League with a 3.12 ERA for the Indianapolis Indians, Smokey has struck out 11 in 8 2/3 innings, but got hit hard in his brief stint with the Pirates.
  3. He's got a little of the Da's Belfast accent in there. Looked good for three innings at a time, anyways. And deGrom got his rest.
  4. I liked when Ali Baba and The Lone Ranger teamed up to save Chewbacca. [fimg=500:3cn1zzxs]http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2018/04/avengers-infinity-war-imax.jpg[/fimg:3cn1zzxs]
  5. Too bad. He just got a feature story at MiLB.com, too. Suddenly, we need L.J. Mazzilli back!
  6. SUNY Brockport: eight draftees, but none reaching the bigs as a player. One, however, has made it as a manager. https://www.baseball-reference.com/schools/?key_school=b506506c

Reese Havens, Mark Cohoon, Adrian Rosario, Armando Rodriguez --- all these guys should get at least a crack. Heck, Rob Carson's already been there. None of these guys got a crack. I don't even remember Adrian Rosario.
  8. Ended a three-game hitless mini-slump by going 3-3 with a triple last night.
  9. Merandy gets promoted to the bigs by the Marlins, making him the first-ever Columbia Firefly to reach the majors. This is your benchmark, A.J. Ramos. Outpitch Merandy.
  10. Don't conclude much from Zamora's outing. He was pushed into an emergency start after the scheduled starter was promoted.
  11. Boyd's signed with the St. Paul Saints. See ya, Shauna!
  12. Rosters aren't really solidified yet. My bet is that Thompson the Headless Roland Gunner makes it to Vegas.
  13. Thompson apparently the recipient of the John J. Murphy Award for Outstanding Rookie in Camp.
  14. Coming in 2019, but yeah. Does all this Disney cannibalising themselves end up consigning the earlier films to the dustbin? Do they quietly fall out of circulation like the original cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy?
  15. Upcoming in 2018: Overboard Ocean's 8 (sequel of a remake, which in fairness, was a remake of a pretty lousy film) Superfly Christopher Robin Papillon A Star Is Born Halloween Mowgli The Nutcracker and the Four Realms The Grinch Robin Hood Holmes and Watson Mary Poppins Returns Valley Girl
  16. I'm Johnny Depp and I can out-Denzel Denzel. Murder on the Orient Express (2017) The Lone Ranger (2013) Alice in Wonderland (2010, plus the 2016 sequel) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) Sleepy Hollow (1999, not that this has ever been satisfactorily filmed, apart from Disney's 1949 cartoon)
  17. I have Febbuk friend who is a theatre owner, and he took a shot of the stage from junket at Disney, where they were rolling out their films for the next 12 months, and out of 25 films, there was seemingly perhaps one original idea in there. Everything was remakes, sequels, spinoffs, and name-brand acquired properties. It's a world of toadies, and it's seemingly a lot easier to keep your job if you tell your bosses to drop $100 million on an established commodity than an original idea. But the problem — and it's the problem with the whole tired-assed world of post-modern culture — is that eventually they'll run out of the old ideas, the pieces of modernity to re-assemble. Pop will eat itself.
  18. Tim Burton?
  19. Oh, I saw Dunkirk, and found myself even more disengaged.
  20. No, I was just celebrating the strange delight that Gary Oldman, who once played the subversive ectomorph Sid Vicious, has now, later in his career, been called to play the establishment endomorph Sir Winston Churchill, alternately undermining and saving all that is good about the British nation and her character. It's a great vehicle for Oldman's performance, but beyond that, it feels flat and dishonest. It's interesting to see Churchill struggling with self-doubt, as it certainly makes him more relatable, but by almost all historical accounts, the guy was the very embodiment of resolve. And the climatic journey aboard the London underground seems so cinematically perfect that it has to be untrue, and it isn't. It's also a war movie without a war.
  21. Sid Vicious is a British member of Parliament. Despite a checkered past, he has seen the threat of Hitler for what it was, contrary to his party's and his nation's leadership. Britain now threatened with imminent attack and her army surrounded, new leadership is sought, and Sid has been elected to lead a wartime coalition cabinet to come to the UK's defense. Seemingly set up to fail, our hero has to rally his own resolve before he can rally his country's.
  22. Send him a collection of some real music, for Pete's sake.
  23. That link ain't working for me but the URL suggests the missus is named "Shawna." Mets Roster Central, while predicting the Mets open with four outfielders, is laying out the Vegas outfield as Zach Borenstein / Jayce Boyd / Matt den Dekker / Kevin Kaczmarski / Kevin Taylor. But Jayce is the only righty hitter among them, so that may put him on a slightly different shelf, and help him stand out if the Mets go browsing. I could see him getting a call if, say, Céspedes goes down (knock wood). He had a really good 2017, but you've got to write off at least part of that as Vegas inflation. He was stinky the year before.
  24. He played 34 games at catcher in 2017, 12 at first, one (but 11 2/3 innings?!) at third, and one bold inning as a pitcher. Brandon has had a LOT of freakish injures that have delayed the full launch of his awesomeness upon America.
  25. Unless and until an opening happens above him, Brandon looks to return to Columbia in 2018, where he OPS'd .779 last season. I think he'll debut at St. Lucie at least, though. I mean, Jeff Glenn always goes down with something. He's got the bat to advance, man. And at 6'2" / 237, he's got the frame to match the game.
