  1. This sucks just a little bit more now. I got a signed and framed Dex photo for Christmas that my dad bought before he signed with the Cards.
  2. As was mentioned already, it's not so much the cumulative use, it's the combination of lots of use over a 4 day span combined with the fact that he's a guy who's not accustomed to throwing that many pitches/innings and probably wasn't equipped to make the necessary adjustments on the fly. I thought him pitching in game 6 was a terrible decision as it was happening and see no reason to change that stance. While the Cubs still won, they made it infinitely more difficult on themselves by not going to someone else with a 4 run lead in game 6 and saving Chapman's bullets for game 7, when they really actually needed them.
  3. Are you trying to tell me that you think KB, Russell, and Schwarber are going to get 12, 6, and 6 million respectively in arbitration their first year? No way that happens.
  4. Thought this was interesting on Dunn: [tweet] [/tweet]
  5. The park was a dumpster fire when it opened but they've done a good job of making upgrades as they went. On top of that, they did pay for the park themselves, so they should get some credit for not trying to pillage the taxpayers for a profit. I go fairly regularly for the same reasons and I do have to agree that a very large portion of the fan base are mouth breathing idiots, but that's true of almost all teams. Theirs are just really vocal about how awesome they think they are.
  6. Yep, I'm totally stealing this idea.
  7. I questioned when Luhnow left for the Astros if he wasn't the real brains behind the operation. It seems their eye for talent has diminished significantly since he left, with really only the high draft picks and Diaz to show as products of their system. They haven't had one of those middle round guys explode to have a major impact in quite a while, and they're not even getting many of those guys to fill supporting roles cheaply as they had in the past.
  8. I have to think this was far more complicated than a 1:1 deal if it's become this much in doubt.
  9. Yeah, especially since that's a clearly defined process elsewhere in the CBA, it seems like wording it in that manner would cause the least uproar.
  10. Yeah, this is probably not going to end well for him. [tweet] [/tweet]
  11. What is this threshold? Same as the previous first round/second round threshold? Luxury tax threshold. Last year only 4 teams(Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers) were above the threshold, it looks likely that the Tigers will fall below and possibly the Red Sox and Yankees too, while no teams look likely to jump over it. Isn't this talking about draft pick compensation/loss for FA signings? The threshold he's referencing is the dollar value of the FA contract.
  12. Steak 'n Shake is in this weird food purgatory for me. Not fast enough to be fast food and not good enough to be a sit down place, so I never go there.
  13. Those are all at least 11 years.

  16. The not as bad of a hangover thing is absolutely true, but it was his claim that you didn't get as buzzed from the good stuff that was the pants on head crazy part of it.
  17. Ouch. With the way he plays and relies on mobility and throwing at weird angles, that may be essentially a career ender for him. FWIW it sounds like he played through it on Sunday and he made a few very strong throws on that final drive. Not that that necessarily says anything about the long term impact of the injury. Yeah, you can certainly do that before it's repaired (I did for quite a while). It becomes a pain tolerance and doing more damage thing at that point. Once it's fixed, you're fighting against the flexibility recovery that's needed to throw with the velocity he's accustomed to. The surgery has come a long way since I had it done, but it's still not a lock he can throw as well as before he hurt it (or well enough to function the way he does as a mobile QB).
  18. Ouch. With the way he plays and relies on mobility and throwing at weird angles, that may be essentially a career ender for him.
  19. I'd suggest telling them to act like grown ups and stop antagonizing each other, but I'm not about to tell you how to run the show.
  20. There's a lot of weirdos down here that actually wear the Cardinals ones around, but I'd guess it's a team by team thing.
  21. i remember there being some great posts where he highlighted his love of squat horsefeathering Also his graphic endorsement of P90X-type workouts because they apparently allowed him to power horsefeathers his wife. I remember the last 2, but I apparently missed the physical appearance black thing. I've seen it referenced over the years but had no idea where it came from. Link?
  22. I wouldn't have a problem with 30, but 28 seems really restrictive.
  23. Who is Todd Zolecki and how does he have a job? He left Hendricks off his ballot.

  25. Ok OMC, who is it? http://totalfratmove.com/heres-the-weird-story-of-how-a-married-power-5-coach-catfished-a-young-female-alum/?utm_medium=short&utm_source=Twitter
