    Something doesn't add up here. Apparently the restaurant was very busy in a space 10x the footprint of their trailer location, but was doing $1.5m less than what they were doing at the trailer? And that doesn't include all the back taxes and liens on the business. He might be skimming off the top.

    The tip thing was shitty, but they could have survived that. The texts above don't really bother me because it seems like this employee wasn't doing his job. Stock the fucking pickles man!

    Either way, what an epic downfall. This thing was fucked from the get-go. 

     

    I got the feeling those texts were to a group or a few separate individuals.

    I wonder what lessons Crane will take from the Abreu fiasco, if any.

    His refusal to take on long-term FA deals has limited our signing pool to relievers and old guys. 

    Paying top of the market for volatile relievers seems dumb.

    On the old guy front, signing JV's extension didn't really work because of the injury.  Obviously Abreu is a disaster.

    Our other move has been to trade for top guys with fewer years left...JV, Greinke, Cole.  You can only do that so long unless you're elite at amateur acquisition and development.

    I think we should be more willing to go a little longer on extensions to almost sure things like Tucker and stay away from high dollar RP FA and guys well past 30.

    As always the key is for the farm to keep churning and we seem to have finally slowed down there.

    Lesson #1 should be stop listening to Jeff Bagwell.

    Lesson #1A should be stop hating analytics because it got you 2 World Series trophies.

  3. It only takes a 1 good year.  This time last year if someone would have told you that Brooks was going to be the first rb drafted, you would have rightly laughed at them.

  4. Payton better be designing a new offense centered around 5-10 yard passes.  I know Brees didn't have a cannon, but Nix is sporting a red ryder.

  5. Liz isn't eating and is going to end up getting medically evacd.  I don't see how she can make it the rest of the way regardless of game play.  She hasn't shit the entire time on the island.

    he doesn't have $8MM extra in legal expenses and end up with the morons he has representing him.

    One of his kids probably has a law degree from American Samoa and he's shuffling money to the family.

  7. There are a whole bunch of old samurai movies starring Toshiro Mifune.  Some of them are very good. 

    A couple of good books I read by Eiji Yoshikawa are Musashi and Taiko.  They are both historical fiction.  Taiko is about the dead leader in Shogun.  It's very good.  He was a very interesting character.  Musashi is a famous Japanese samurai and philosopher.

  8. He never considered that Ochiba would switch sides because she hated Toranaga so much.  If you think the heir and his army is on your side no matter what, you think you can get away with most anything.
