If he's willing to make the jump to 100% electric, sure. But for a lot of people I know, it makes them nervous to have to plan out their mileage more than they do with gas.

Official NHL COVID season thread
ChiliIrishHammock24 replied to southsider2k5's topic in A and J's Olde Tyme Sports Pub
Man, those who follow pretty closely seem to be pretty pissed about Kirby Dach. I mean, at least the Hawks didn't go way off the board at #3, but seeing people say Byram was the consensus #3 for a while and then the Hawks pass on him kind of sucks. Wonder if that shows their confidence in Boqvist and the hefty amount of D-man prospects in the system. But still, those guys are all tradeable if you had to. -
He will be. But it might be more of an August type thing at this rate. Still crossing my fingers for July.

I have to leave for work so I can't look it up, but I feel like the heel injury happened closer to like June 10th or something, and it was supposed to be 10 days. So yeah, he should be back like any day now.

I'm cornering the prospect market on water polo players and I will NOT be infringed upon.

Get a Chevy Volt. You'll fill up gas every other month with your usage.

Get in line behind me on Abbott, CHUMP

I have always been super interested in this kid. Such a strange route to baseball.

On my way to go pick up my dream car! Didn't get home delivery, so my brother is taking me to the Grand Avenue location in Chicago.

He may only hit .230 or so, but his OBP should be around .360+. That would put him 2nd behind McCann on this team.

Got my VIN. Delivery is set for Monday, and instead of making me drive in to the city to get the car, they are delivering it to my house. Niiiiice.

Nick Madrigal promoted to Birmingham
ChiliIrishHammock24 replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in FutureSox Board
I've been saying it since Day 1. DJ LeMahieu. 9 season, 56 HR, BB rate at 7%, strikeout rate at 15% (Madrigal should be lower), .299 career hitter, tremendous defender. Not a star, but the last 4 seasons he's been a 2-4 fWAR guy. Take that profile, reduce the strikeouts a bit, but add a ton more speed. That could be a 3-5 fWAR guy for Madrigal averaging about 6-8 HR a year. -
Welp, nevermind! So earlier in the week I noticed my account page was suddenly showing 19" sport wheels instead of the 18" aero wheels that I ordered. Not only that, but they tacked on the $1500 upcharge as well. So I called Tesla and pointed out the mistake. The lady was very confused how this happened, but went ahead and changed it back for me, both to the 18" wheels and the original price. Then the next day I check my account again and notice that they applied a $1500 DISCOUNT to my total. It appears they were going to comp me the upgraded wheels (many speculate they are trying to hit their Q2 deadline of June 30th and don't have enough 18" wheels, so they want customers to take the 19" for free to deliver sooner). A couple of days go by and the discount is still on my account, even though the wheels were taken back. So I essentially got a free $1500 off the price. Then TODAY I get a call from their sales team and they apologized for the delays. I bought the car on May 27th with a 2 week delivery time and it's been past 2 weeks and still no VIN or anything. So he told me that my exact configuration, but in an AWD version is on it's way to the MW right now, and I can have it within the week. The cost increase would be $2000 instead of $4000, because they would comp my paint color ($1000) and my interior color ($1000). So an upgrade from RWD to AWD for $2000? Tempting, UNTIL I asked him to confirm the purchase price to me, and that it would only be $2000 more than my current price on my account. He said yes. That means my $1500 discount is still there! So now, it's essentially a $500 upcharge instead of $4000! Needless to say, I told him yes. I'm pretty pumped!

Isn't it amazing how well that lined up for them? "Oh no bud....this must be rough for you. Why don't you just go ahead and forfeit the remainder of your salary this year, just give us that $9M back, and go deal with your ex-wife. We will just give someone else your money and try to win a championship without you. Best wishes. Thaaaaaaaanks." Zobrist isn't the first guy to ever get divorced during a season. Family members have DIED during a season. I don't recall a player every just taking off the rest of the year like this and forfeiting their salary. I have to believe this is some sort of agreement that Theo has with Zobrist that he agrees to take the year off, give them the money they need to sign Kimbrel, and then Zobrist will be compensated after he retires by being promised a job with the Cubs or something.

28th Rounder Caeden Trenkle retweeted this....

Can't agree with that, but it was definitely the worst season, by a long shot. I thought Smithereens was pretty solid. I hated the Ashley O one. Striking Vipers was mostly bad, and frankly just weird.
-
I came here to ask the same thing. He had said June 1st back in the spring.

I liked the reveal, and I liked how the reveal is probably something that happens and you, or at least I, would never even think about as being what can actually happen from that.

It's that creepy time of the year when myself and other draftniks scour social media of these HS kids to kind out if they might sign. I just saw this on Drew Dalquist's IG..... -- Someone commented "I'm happy for you that you don't have to be a wildcat" -- He replied "Wildcat at heart"
-
Like last year, can I request we get a GREEN bold for players signed UNDER slot, and a RED bold for players signed ABOVE slot? I guess regular black bold can be players signed AT slot.
-
I thought the Miley Cyrus one was pretty bad. Or at least, not Black Mirror style. Smithereens was pretty decent. Probably forgettable in the grand scheme, but worth watching. Haven't seen Striking Vipers yet.

Sabouri just got drafted by the Mariners. Teammate of Vaughn. I saw him pitch a little bit and he has a NASTY slider. -

Damnit, Dbacks got Avery Short. He was someone I targeted with our picks today. Apparently he is the most advanced HS pitcher in the draft. Indiana kid. -
