Tenacious D

Whoever was going to get cut when he made the team in ST. Just need to accelerate it a couple of months.

Lions faithful went nuts when Brad Holmes walked by.

This. Kind of playing with house money now. Still, will be a ping of disappointment to come this far and potentially fall short.

Will Jung and Clark follow, once they get a bit closer and instill more confidence?

Guess he’s probably making the team this year (though didn’t seem like much doubt). How do you think Greene and Tork are feeling right now?

Wasn’t this the plot for Indecent Proposal?

We’re staying in the city tonight—going to Warriors v Lakers game.

My son and I have seen lots of Lions fans throughout downtown SF today. Will be interesting to see how many of us there are tomorrow at the game.

I coached travel for my youngest son (only one season—the parents were miserable to deal with). Many years of traveling/tournaments for my oldest—it is a summer-long commitment. The teams typically only carry 12 players, because the coaches don’t want to deal with parents complaining about playing time for their son when they shelled out $2000 to be on the team, plus travel expenses and time commitment. As such, the coaches expect everyone attend every game (they need the pitchers/innings), and be flexible if they choose to add additional last minute tournaments at their discretion.

This. Trying to find flaws in Ichiro’s HOF candidacy is nearly impossible. He was elite.

Came across this on Facebook. Any fans of HBO’s “Eastbound and Down” will appreciate this:

And took a bullet.

They won’t be wrong

I’m paying $800 for a ticket to the NFC Championship game. Cause I can’t bring myself to pay this for the Superbowl

I don’t disagree with this. Let Javy be Javy—no idea how much instruction he’s received since joining. And it might have messed him up.

Did Hinch make another winter sojourn to spend time together? I’d rather have Ichiro or Rod Carew make that trip. I do wonder if they have tried to tell Javy that they don’t need him to hit 25 HRs. That he’d be more valuable if he made more consistent contact, at the expense of dingers. He’s strong enough that he would still get his fair share.

Yeah, for as much as we joke about him, I wouldn’t bet against him turning into a decent player. Of course, I wouldn’t bet on it, either.

With Nevin off the board, Matt Chapman could be a fallback for the teams that missed out.

Is that their way of saying not enough power to play in a corner? I don’t know what Bigbie will become, but feel pretty good if we have 31 prospects who are better.

No mention of the subsequent carjacking?

If access could somehow be tied to the number of packages you have shipped to your home, Amazon Prime will be paying me to watch.
