Game is on WLS as well.

QUOTE (glangon @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Langer does a Melton, he just referred to Beck as Chad Beck There we go. It couldn't really be Spring Training without it.

What kind of s*** is this? No Bill Melton?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 09:50 AM) Mike Morse ‏@mikemorsesays Feb 22 For those who believe in all those elaborate conspiracy theories, reflect on the fact that the US government can't unlock a goddamn iPhone. Speaking of conspiracy theories, here is the San Bernardino DA joining in on the fun. This is a cartoon. San Bernardino prosecutor raises concerns about ‘cyber pathogen’ in terrorist's iPhone

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) Why? It's baseball. Doesn't matter who's playing. Baseball is starting and it's a glorious thing. Touché

I hate myself for clicking on a link to watch Leury Garcia hit a single and Adam Eaton ground out. Winter needs to end.

Absurdity.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) I brought it up because the pregame/intro for Kobe tonght at UC was kinda grandiose.

I remember how FO was pretty insistent that Ray Clay announce Jordan as he would any other visiting player during Jordan's first game back to the UC with Washington. They let him go after that season due in part to that IIRC...

BSOHL is my favorite of the advanced metrics.

Reading through the comment sections of that article and others, there isn't really anything more that FBI needs from the phone itself. This is being looked at as more of a setting the bar for the future kind of deal.

^ Speaking of Apple... Tim Cook says Apple will fight US gov’t over court-ordered iPhone Backdoor. Cook's letter to customers. Good.

Polish with grilled onions at The Cell. In the past, I've actually gone to games purely for that reason. A few seasons ago, I also discovered those loaded potatoes. I'll get those from time to time.

Finally saw Hateful Eight. I wanted to like it, but no. That's two in a row from Tarantino that just didn't do anything for me. It had the feel of a diluted (over the course of 3 hours) Civil War-era Reservoir Dogs prequel. Of the last two, I preferred Django.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) He's going to have to hit at a well above average rate to make us forget the absolutely abysmal defense we get from him. Nothing is ever impossible with a good book.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 01:00 PM) Look at the bright side here boys, Sandoval and V-Mart both were -2.0 WAR last year. They got paid $17M and $14M respectively. Hanley Ramirez had a -1.8 WAR and was paid a whopping $19M last season. Sandoval at $17M for -2.0 WAR and Ramirez at -1.8 WAR for $19M bring a smile to my face because it's the Red Sox.

Good chance that everyone in this picture could pick Carson Palmer tonight. *Edit* Did not see the child, very sad. But the point stands.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) "...should be decidedly improved." Well, if that proclamation doesn't rev up the fan base and cause a run on season ticket packages, I don't know what will!! Everyone in the organization, top to bottom, is in the very best shape of their lives. Even the FO and Don Cooper.

Didn't want to start a new topic; somewhat related to the OP. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/lawsui...ticle-1.2499843

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Nope. Jokes are funny. Maybe he meant a Dane Cook joke.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:36 PM) Well Tigers will be tougher the next two years but after that they're completely f***ed. Everyone keeps saying this year after year after year, but I don't think it matters to them. Their books and finances probably look like Illinois' books and finances, but they'll dip their toes in these waters again in 2 or 3 years once they inevitably fail to win a championship.

Ah f*** now. I'd be happy that a division rival is throwing the dollars and years at someone like this, but evidently it doesn't matter to Detroit. They'll keep doing it until they win, the owner moves on from this world, or someone casually reminds the FO that they aren't the NYY. Whichever comes first.
