Thought I begged you awhile back to try that one out.
Loved it too.

Kurt Russell is maybe the coolest dude on the planet at times. Comes from a family of characters.

Yes, I believe you did. That's why I had it added to my list. Thanks!

You were too young, I feel like I should have known about that while it was going on ... but didn't.
Its a very very cool story.

I either want the DH for both leagues, or eliminate it altogether. It really wouldn't bother me to see it illiminated.


MLBPA will never let that happen.

But I agree. Make it all of baseball or none of baseball having the DH. Pick one and live with the consequences. It's outrageous that each league has different rules.

We're watching (and paying) these guys to be as entertaining as possible. So let's have the best of the best do the most with their roles. This is almost how I feel about performance enhancers at this point.

That's awesome on the movie. I just heard about that a week or two ago; sounds incredible.

The White Sox agreed to terms with former Yankees closer David Robertson and traded for A's starter Jeff Samardzija according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today and Jon Heyman of CBSSports, respectively. Robertson's deal is reported to be for four years and in excess of $40 million. Samardzija was traded to Oakland in July and finished with a record of 5-6, a 3.14 ERA and 99 strikeouts in 16 starts.​ Neither deal has been confirmed by the White Sox.

I should have trusted my source on Samardzija to the White Sox last week. I did until Dustin doubted me.




Another underwhelming return for Oakland. Just seems like they haven't gotten a ton for Donaldson/Moss/Smardz. Seem all cost-cutting moves, but they signed Butler and I'm sure they'll sign another arm or two. I wonder if Beane "went over" budget last year knowing that he had 2 stud arms returning from injury this year and so he has to reign the spending back in.

I like Robertson, but don't see that signing ending well for the White Sox. A lot of use on that arm.

But on the flip side, they better figure something out on offense. They figure to struggle to score runs with that offense, sans Posey.

Just saying that as always they're a team built to win in the postseason but will struggle to get to the postseason just because of offense.

Ya, tough to figure out. Their pitching still looks strong though. It's a testament to just how great of a season they/he had last year that they were missing 2 of their best pitchers all year, Griffin and Parker. Those guys are back in 2015. They really gotta figure out offense too though, like their Giants' counterparts. Donaldson was a huge blow.

Jealous. My best buddy is a huge Giants' fan and he can never even figure out how they keep winning.

Interesting. I've always liked the Giants, but mine would probably go something like:

1. Twins
2. A's
3. Rays
...
27. Satan
28. Yankees
29. Biebers
30. White Sux

TN is probably 60% Braves fans, 30% Cards fans, then the rest divided among Reds/whatever else. I do like that I can get to any of the 3 for a day game in quite an easy trip.

You wouldn't be able to walk for a week with a Hardy / Dozier infield.

4 hours and see a doctor........

That would be 7 days in your case......maybe all season long.
