  1. That was a fun team to follow.
  2. Pick somebody!
  3. They found a child-sized doll in his bed...it's horrifying.
  4. I am not sure how they did the math to get Canada up to 19 days. Perhaps it is the statutory minimum 10 days, or pay in lieu of, plus about 9 more for Christmas, New Year, etc. I always wanted to get hired in Spain where you can do Sweet FA and they can't fire you.
  5. You just started it. Last time, I think my pick was Domingo Leyba. This time it is clearly Wenceel Perez. He's going to make you forget all about Ramon Santiago.
  6. It really is, and guys like Andre Lipcius and Justyn-Henry Malloy would have better career possibilities if they had names like Donny Sands.
  7. I know that there are some people like that. In Ontario the most outrageous example of that was the elementary school teachers union pension plan, one of the best in the universe. Just for some balance, my brother is 73 and works at Amazon, in the "fulfillment" area, not because he wants to of course. Something that a lot of us boomers have in common is that we lost our jobs in the mid-1990's when we were in our mid-40's. I certainly did. It was the first time that there was a computer on every desk, and huge tranches of administrative jobs disappeared along with layers of supervision. One of Kondratieff's waves I guess.
  8. I don't know what it is.
  9. He has some cred as a base stealer but that is not very fashionable.
  10. I was just about to say that. It's been a wild ride but it might be time to move on.
  11. Baddoo, Meadows, and Meadows...I don't think we'll see that very often
  12. I agree, I don't want to relive the idiocy of watching Grossman stink it up every night in July "to increase his trade value". If Schoop is doing nothing useful by the end of May, and one of the new infielders is playing well either in Detroit or Toledo and could use the playing time, cut Schoop then.
  13. I always get a kick out of seeing the guys who are named to the Italian team. I bet John Valente has never been to Italy but he does a really good impression of his grandfather.
  14. Baseball should have Match Play. You win the inning, or you lose the inning, or the inning is halved.
  15. Thanks for the free psychoanalysis, worth the price.
  16. It's a nice 2 games so far for sure. And because of his struggles in Detroit people can forget that he raked at Toledo, it was not a completely lost year. I definitely want him to start the year in Detroit.
  17. I like the offseason. A few people have mentioned that Haniger might have been a good fit, but there wasn't much enthusiasm for any of the other free agents. Harris picked up a few guys that I think could be useful, and cleaned out some dead wood on the bench and in the office. Good start, let's evaluate the new guys.
  18. I hit the like button for spelling theatre correctly!
  19. I looked for Willi and Harold. And then I remembered, and I broke down.
  20. I broke my right elbow a few years ago, and had to shave lefthanded. Also, try using toilet paper.
  21. I'll give Pete Davidson credit for making me laugh once. He was talking about how inconvenient it was to be living with his mother and his sister, and he'd already been caught masturbating twice. "But who walks into the kitchen without knocking, right?"
  22. Only 8 more months and then...blessed relief.
  23. The guy who is to blame for all of this is dead.
  24. You could do that in a hotel room with the foil from a cigarette pack!
  25. She's stupid and repulsive, and it's important to respond to her nonsense and ridicule it the way people are doing. You can't just let it sit out there unchallenged.
