  1. Omg love choo choo and peanut butter, the dresses up dog
  2. Same, I was blacked out (in Colorado) for the first inning. Now it's buffering constantly.
  3. I'm just south of Denver so its about 50 minutes to Colorado Springs. Just think of Soler had been healthy all year - Iowa could have had a potential 1-4 of Alcantara, Baez, Bryant and Soler. Nice! I'm in Castle Rock. Saw the I-Cubs earlier this year, also on $3 craft beer night. Wada was sharp, Baez was not.
  4. I was at D'arcy's Pint in Springfield and pretty much did the same thing.
  5. :bye: Really going to miss Soriano. As much as I know this is the right thing to do (assuming they get reasonable value in return) it still really sucks to see him go.
  6. In a league where you can't spend big on amateur talent anymore, using your excess cash for "free access" to quality veterans may be the best option. Goony is dead on with this, imo. Controlled veterans are really the only way to stockpile young talent quickly. The downside for many teams is it takes available cash to get controlled veterans. The good news for us is we aren't one of those teams. If Lee takes major prospects to reel in, obviously he's off the table. But I love the idea for picking up quality vets that are largely salary dumps.
  7. Who can you make such a guarantee?
  8. I've heard this notion a few times but I can't imagine Hoyer not trying to pick up some reasonably priced free agents with 2+ years of control in the off season. It's the easiest/only way to turn $ (which they have a ton of laying around) into long term assets. If they pick up Edwin Jackson and Kyle Lohse in the offseason, they may find themselves near contention with some surprise performances. If not they Maholm them into long term assets at the deadline.
  9. I hope no bad people show up.
  10. I think it's just a regional slang thing. In the 619, switch is just another way of saying "left-handed".
