  1. yeah, it's terrible. don't come here. btw this trade is awesome I'm going to move to your dumb city and fart all over it. you realize you can comfortably wear jeans basically 11 (if not 12) months out of the year here, you shorts hating goof?
  2. um have you ever been here? Spend 5 minutes in Des Moines in July and then run a marathon in Seattle today and compare the sweat stains after each. Seattle is humid in the winter. It's dry in the summer. Who gives a [expletive] about Des Moines? Sounds like a [expletive] hole. But I was wrong, Seattle: http://komonews.com/weather/scotts-weather-blog/seattle-really-one-of-the-most-humid-cities-in-the-us-you-bet-12-20-2015 Apparently they have a special type of humidity that doesn't suck. I just saw those humidity percentages on the weather reports and cringed. yeah, it's terrible. don't come here. btw this trade is awesome

  4. Well, he was getting told that he gets to leave Iowa to go play in the major leagues, so I'm sure he wasn't too upset. DSM Iowa is a nicer city than Tacoma and it ain't close (sorry tiger). But losing the chance to play with the Cubs in September and be around for all the glory years is what I meant. It's not likely he's going to the 90s Yankees or something. The Ms suck.
  5. obviously not an exclusive list. you're telling me KB wouldn't get it done?
  6. fyi trout is a really good baseball player, not just a kind of fish Sure, 30 years ago. But I'm not sure how much Steve has left in the tank.
  7. Your HS and college buddies rebelling aren't really changing my perception. I don't believe that they're salt of the earth or whatever you're trying to imply. I've found them a bit prudish sometimes. But all the Mormons I've known strictly follow the no booze or coffee BS.
  8. Even Mormons drink. A lot in fact Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk er, um, no
  9. You really starting to piss me off Jake
  10. can you imagine playing 3B with that much breakable material an inch from your eyes?
  11. Thoat was the '89 card, and you aren't kidding about getting his card all the damn time. It felt like he was in every other pack. Yes, a bit unusual, but a term that his sexy ass glasses insisted upon in the contract they signed with topps.
  12. jake arrieta wants you to remember what it's like to have a normal ace so that you adequately appreciate his godliness
  13. it's not like he's a bum, but being the starter is a little bit shammy
  14. Look at the Mets record v the Cubs in the 2015 regular season and compare it to the 2015 post season.
  15. LET'S BE PRODUCTIVE. Instead of just whining. Let's fix this team. I suggest they all start using these huge ice cube trays. It really does make the bourbon better. http://images.crateandbarrel.com/is/image/Crate/JumboSlcnIceCubeTrayRedF13/$web_product_hero$&/150824171052/jumbo-red-silicone-ice-cube-tray.jpg Other ideas?
  16. Maybe they're looking to keep the 'pen fresh since right now, they're getting a total of maybe a dozen innings a week. Figure Warren more often goes 5-6 IP and the rest of the pen has to pitch more.
  17. I loved Joe all but getting someone to chain Baez to 1B. Reminded me of a travel ball coach I had who would show up kids who missed a sign more than once. He wasn't above yelling "steal second on the next pitch" across the field to a baserunner on his team. I particularly liked that what got the message across was Jones doing the 'be cool' hand signal over to him. Not showing kids up, but I have absolutely yelled across a little league field "don't you dare try to steal second right now" when I couldn't trust that my 1B coach was aware enough to tell the kid that. Screw signs or w/e. The best part is the kids at that age are just old enough to think it might be reverse psychology, so it gets in their heads a little (one or more of the SS, C and P always scream out "watch the steal!!"). Boys, we're down 3 with our best hitters coming up; if that kid on first tries to steal, I'm going to tackle him.
  18. If rizzo gets hurt, you're getting banned and then Kyle and derwood are getting your home address.
  19. I want to laugh that off but I find myself nodding along.
  20. bonds sabotage? I can't stand it. I know you planned it.
