I really enjoyed the episode. Set up some good stuff for the finish. I love the pacing this season too. If it were any other season Jaime would just be on the outskirts of Kings Landing and Jon and Sansa would just be closing the gate at Castle Black.

Not entirely right about the expansion draft, GB. You can choose to spare 3 D, 7 FW, 1 G or 8 skaters overall and 1 G. I'd rather get NHL ready talent if we were to make a trade. I think its a no brainer that Fowler gets traded this offseason. Shed his $4 and use that for the RFAs (Hampus/Ricky primarily) Maybe Vats but I can see him getting traded as well. Teams will have two options in who they protect: either they safeguard seven forwards, three defensemen and one goalie; or they protect eight skaters (whether they're defensemen or forwards) and one goalie. First- and second-year pros -- including those playing pro hockey at any level -- will be exempt from the expansion draft. But if they're entering their third year of pro hockey, they're no longer exempt. Teams would have to either protect them or expose them. Unsigned draft picks (think college or European players) are exempt from the expansion draft for two years from their draft year but not in Year 3, so teams will have to either rush to sign those guys or simply expose them in the expansion draft. The total salaries for the players made available by each team in the expansion draft must be at least 25 percent of the previous season's payroll for that team. Daly explained: "The other variation that makes this expansion draft different is we would contemplate having some thresholds based on salary to make sure that the expansion club can be competitive based on the ranges we have in the CBA. Teams would have some obligation to expose a level of salary. And in terms of drafting players, teams would have to draft a certain threshold of salary."

The next Hunter Pence then. I'm cool with it.

Setting up my first trip to Dublin for this October. I'm so pumped up for this.

I watched "The Witch" on Sunday night. What a total piece of shit movie. How in the hell is it in the 90s on RT? No idea what in the hell was going on during the film and then the ending was something totally out of left field. Not even remotely scary.

Ahh that makes sense. When Frey said "Killing your nephew" I instantly thought Stark and not Tully.

So question. Who was the guy that was brought in during the Frey scene? Was that the youngest Stark brother, Brandon? Meaning Ned and Benjey's brother?

TSN reporting Dustin Brown stripped of the C. Kings going with someone else going forward. Very interesting. Good to see the Kings have the balls to do it. Cough cough Ducks.

That's how I've felt. I haven't been insanely anti-Trump but with how psychotic these protesters are I almost want Trump just to spite them.

There's some gold popping up online from the Anaheim rally today. Berners out there wanting equality and no hate but calling every person walking by a cock sucker, fucking asshole etc. etc.

The Ducks don't have the brand to do that, Wicked. If we sold out every game and had higher ratings/sponsorship etc. we probably could. Henry and Susan are losing money every year keeping this team going. A deep Cup run would make that back up. You can argue that investing more on the ice would result in better performance and more success on the ice and financially, but maybe they're just not sold on this group being able to provide that?

Random thought. *Mild spoilers if you're not caught up* I was talking to a friend of mine about this but in the Tower of Joy scene Bran called out "father" to Ned and Ned heard him. Didn't know what it was but he clearly heard him. The old man had a look of wtf on his face like either he didn't know that was possible or he didn't expect Bran to learn that so quickly. We also see that with the Hodor scene. What if Bran starts to channel back to the past to change things? Warns Ned to not go to Kings Landing or more likely, tell his younger self not to climb the wall. Imagine Bran being able to walk again? Especially now with Meera having to lug his ass around. It makes sense.

Gotta admit, that spear to AJ in mid air was pretty legit. The post match was worth the entire show though. Great to have him back! Please PLEASE be face. Then again, everyone is vs Roman right now lol.

What a fucking joke. I busted up laughing when I read that in the article. Of course... Every mistake is obviously a hate crime.

I for sure thought this story was going to end with IE correcting the officer that it was actually 7 months and demanding it get towed.

This has been on my mind since Bruce Boudreau was let go for the Ducks. Great coach and won a lot of games but the organization felt like a fresh voice was needed in the locker room to get the most out of these players. I know this team has been hit with so many injuries but you gotta figure that something similar needs to be done here too (Not saying 2016 is on Scioscia btw). Sometimes you just need a fresh take on things in the clubhouse.

He's dumber than Heaney. With how hard he throws its gonna tear. Just bite the bullet on this season and come back in late 2017. There's no rush for this team.

Alden Gonzalez ‏@Alden_Gonzalez 8m8 minutes ago Garrett Richards has chosen not to undergo Tommy John surgery. Is getting something similar to a PRP shot today, shut down six weeks. 12 retweets7 likes Reply Retweet 12 Like 7 More Alden Gonzalez ‏@Alden_Gonzalez 8m8 minutes ago Richards is essentially doing the same as Andrew Heaney, trying the non-surgical route first in hopes of avoiding surgery. Time will tell.

Exactly. BM was rumored to be looking to extend Vats long term and taking some of those UFA years. I doubt they go the Subban route with the "Hey, do team friendly for a year or 2 and then we'll pay you through the roof"

This team can't even tank correctly. I love Linecum tho. Glad to have him.

You're smoking something good if you think we'll sign Vats to 3-4 million, GB. Vats has been the most vocal about wanting a pay increase out of everyone. A lot of the media speculates a bit of a riff between Murray and Vatanen over contract talks in the past 2 offseasons. I don't see him getting anything less than 5 AAV.

Agreed, Nate. I'd take that in a heartbeat.

You're forgetting about the Mets, Chuck. We could probably get one of deGrom, Syndergaard, Matz plus Wheeler, OF Desmond Lindsay, and hell, Conforto probably.

Chacin can be effective as long as he keeps the ball in the yard. 3.92 FIP 3.32 xFIP with 9 K/9 and just under 3 BB/9. He's not a star but he could be useful.

#Braves are finalizing a trade of RHP Jhoulys Chacin to #Angels. He had been scheduled to start tonight for ATL. Per- @DOBrienAJC
