  1. I'm beginning to think you might be a dumbass.
  2. Question out of curiosity - Do y'all think Dusty (with or without the input of the FO) put Yuli at second in the order in front of Alvarez to help boost his BA and save his job?
  3. The fickleness of fans never ceases to amaze me.
  4. Nothing is fucked here, dudes.
  5. Prudent moves, all. Nothing Earth-shattering. My concern is that we basically just replaced Brantley with Mancini. That's fine and needed to be done if they know Brantley ain't coming back or even just as insurance. But we still have a pretty big hole in CF. You can't have All Stars at every position, I guess.
  6. Potato, potahto.
  7. All we need now is a badass centerfielder with a monster bat. Juan Soto is a badass centerfielder with a monster bat. Coincidence? Meyers, Urquidy or Javier and another 10-20 level prospect. Do it.
  8. Plus, it gives more flexibility to play Yuli and hopefully he gets right throughout the rest of the season and the playoffs.
  9. Siri was expendable. Good trade.
  10. Now lets get Vasquez.
  11. I like it. He can play both OF and 1B. Basically, Chas, Jake, Siri, Yuli - death match for playing time/playoff roster. Kick ass or die. Pretty big motivation.
  12. I don't understand how the platoon thing works. You can only play one guy at a time. The trendlines make this trading deadline crazy. I was ready to say Yuli was done, then he goes out and has a really good month. Playing for his life? Regardless, makes it hard to give up a bunch of value to replace a guy who is showing signs of life. Same for CF. Meyers sucking, but Chas making a bid to be the every day guy. Based on today, assuming Brantley is out, I'd get an OF bat, Ian Happ maybe, and a backup catcher - Contreras or Vasquez - so we can pinch hit for Maldy when we really need a run in the playoffs. Just for morale's sake, I hope the FO does something, anything to upgrade the roster at least a little bit.
  13. Fucking Toro.
  14. Is Brantley done for the year?
  15. I wasn't clear that Trump's "plan" required forcing them there. Obviously it would be exactly an internment camp if they were forced and that's bad, m'kay. But a simple designated area with services and facilities for the homeless? I could get behind that.
  16. NSIS. I didn't want to admit it, but I didn't think it was such a bad idea. Giant homeless camp with facilities and services. Controlled environment. Other than forcing homeless people inside the walls possibly against their will, what's so wrong with this concept?
  17. I feel like these 12 games after the All Star break are the most important of the season. Playing the team with the best record in the AL in a double header and then 7 out of 10 against the second place team in the division. A group of important games at an important point in the season. I doubt management or the players look at it like that, or at least they would say they don't. To me these games tell you really where you are as a team. We're off to a great start beating the Yankees twice. As far as the trade stuff goes, obviously we're getting pretty weak production from the 1B and CF spots. I hate to see Yuli's decline, if that is what this is. I do recall that he lost a lot of weight from last season and was supposedly in better physical condition. That's a big change and maybe not a good one for his power. Regardless, he's not getting it done. As far as who to trade, we seem to have a lot of guys who are not in the starting lineup every day or they are back end starters who would be upgrades on most teams. It's those guys who seem ideal to trade since they are not the core of the team now and don't figure to be the core of the team in the future.
  18. I wonder how he fit his giant balls into that wetsuit.
  19. True. What we need are people of integrity in politics, who have the best interests of the country front of mind at all times, who are driven and dedicated public servants. It's possible we've never had that and the mere idea is naïve and fantastical; we CERTAINLY do not have that now.
  20. Selective killing is about the only thing that would be effective. And that is generally frowned upon here.
  21. Similar to female relationship accounting. On the credits/debits system, if I do one hundred good things and one bad thing I have a negative balance. The good things were never deposited. It's fucked.
  22. Yeah, I think a big part of the problem is that we ended up getting a dog that I liked and not one that she liked. She has a thing where she thinks I always get my way, which is not true. To her, this was just another instance. I think she wanted a smaller dog. I made it known that I wanted a medium sized dog like a lab or a golden. She looked at a bunch of breeds and decided that the ideal dog for us was a goldador. We got the dog at a shelter so we didn't have a lot of choice of breed, but we ended up getting a dog that is almost 100% yellow lab. Her resenting me is part of my punishment for getting what I wanted I guess.
  23. My kids begged for a dog for a couple of years. We resisted. We just didn't want to take on another thing. Earlier this year we felt like the kids were older and more manageable and we started thinking that our oldest is already 11 and if we were going to have a family dog it was now or never. So we agreed. But we also wanted to use it to our advantage and also teach our kids a valuable lesson. So my wife made up this system where each of our kids could earn a "puppy sticker" each day and when they got to 30 we could get a dog. When they got close I started researching types of dogs and where to get them. I looked at a lot of dogs online and would send photos and information to my wife, who always provided feedback. When it came time to actually go see dogs my wife came with and participated fully. When we finally found the right dog for us, my wife claimed that she is the one who saw the dog first. My wife was 100% fully on board with getting this dog and participated in every step of the process. We're fighting right now and I got a text from her earlier today that said, "I told you, please no dog. I am worried about another huge thing and the timing is not good. We get a dog anyway." Basically blaming me because we got a dog when she supposedly told me she didn't want to. Narrator: She never told me that. Also narrator: She participated in the entire process of getting the dog.
