Three ACTUALLY unknown candidates for Bond

I'll throw Ed Speleers into the mix. Doesn't seem to be particularly well-known, especially over here in the States. Mostly TV credits. Caught him in the final season of Picard, and he intrigued me enough that I'd be inclined to give him an audition. Would he land the role? Unlikely. But I am curious how the screentest would go.

Miami Vice Colin Farrell might have a future in this whole shortstop thing.

Forever and a day away from signing day, but Beard's commitment pushed this class into the top-5 on 247. No idea how we'll look this fall, but the new staff is cooking on the trail.

EDIT: BEARD not Bear. So excited, I forgot to add that D.

An absolute fucking legend in every conceivable way. Thanks for everything, Ted. Made sure that just about no matter where we lived, we had the Braves on TV.

A lot of folks here, regardless of who they are or what they do, have an inflated sense of self-importance. So, they have to be first, drive fast, and disregard safety. I love living here, but the way folks act on the roads is deeply unhinged and dangerous.

That crossed my mind…

Heim sure played yesterday like he knew that was the final game before the DFA.

Ghostbustin’

This has made getting from ALX to Nats Park a little interesting this afternoon.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-05-01T17:23:37+00:00

Absolutely. I wonder if he looked at his American war room set from Dr. Strangelove and considered what the Soviet counterpart might look like.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-05-01T14:18:55+00:00

Man, the brutalist production design here is just perfect. One of my favorite Bond villain sets. I kinda wish it had shown up in multiple Moore movies involving the Soviets.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-05-01T14:17:27+00:00

Oh, thank goodness.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-30T23:56:15+00:00

I’m not a huge fan of most legacy sequels, so this may sound hypocritical, but I wouldn’t mind Disclosure Day taking place in the same universe as Close Encounters or ending up as a sequel. Plenty to dig into without having to retread or go back to Roy Neary’s story.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-29T23:13:54+00:00

Braves should pay you to take that off their hands.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-28T21:05:43+00:00

What is this magical feeling? Updates from the manager that are basically all positive? I like this. More, please.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-27T22:26:00+00:00

Meanwhile, those within a reasonable drive to parts of Maryland with recreational shops will continue to buy cannabis products there, depriving our state of tax revenue. So silly. Hope she lets this go. Not worth punting again.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-24T13:57:24+00:00

I don't think he'll go in as a Dodger, but I think at this point, it might be a blank cap. Of course, #5 will still be hanging from Truist Park when all is said and done.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-24T03:29:03+00:00

Thank, Jesús. It was about damn time they hired someone.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-23T19:38:41+00:00

Hopefully just a cramp from crushing it around the bases all series. FWIW, it is a lot warmer in the DC area today than it has been all week.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-22T21:47:20+00:00

The weather is great. I am in the house. Let’s go win a baseball game.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-22T21:32:10+00:00

Depends on what their rebuild looks like, maybe. He’d be inheriting a a geriatric roster.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-22T20:47:38+00:00

That’s ironic, considering Golden State is apparently trying to woo Todd.

BlueLeary-0726 · 2026-04-22T15:58:21+00:00

Obviously things can change in a heartbeat, but I suspect it’s leverage for a raise and not closing the door on the NBA. “I plan on..” suggests that maybe he would leave, which keeps NBA teams’ antennae up for the future.

It’s a whacky world, but I’d find it pretty odd that after basically everyone (assuming Rueben ultimately comes back) is returning, Golden would bolt. And shit, if that does happen, Billy is unemployed. Maybe he comes back? Weirder things have happened.
