GIVE HIM THAT JUICY ZOBRIST OBP, DAMMIT. -
I assume standers also use urinals like this: http://boston.barstoolsports.com/files/2013/02/airportguy1.jpg

I don't think anyone is saying they can't fit all of these guys in; some of us would just prefer to see them use some of their assets from a part of the team where they have an embarrassment of riches to improve an area of the team that has basically no depth, is pretty damn old and has been cruising pretty luckily sans any major injuries for a while. If the starting pitching FA market didn't look so barren for the foreseeable future, great, don't even think about trading anyone, but if 1-2 of these guys can be moved in a way that allows them to still have a dominant offense and really bolsters the starting pitching, hey, great.

Or you'd want juicy OBP in front of the guy who walks or puts the ball in play 85-90% of the time It's not like it's a BAD thing, but since Joe seems to have moved away from batting someone besides the pitcher 9th as much as he did before, I figured he'd still want more guys on base ahead of Bryant and Rizzo; as good as Addison is, I'm a simple creature and I want many men on base for the dong monsters.

TOO LATE.

One would think they would want that juicy OBP in front of Rizzo and Bryant, but what do I know.

Ben Zobrist is a very productive hitter, and this is basically just me meatballing, but continually seeing him in the cleanup spot when he hasn't donged since July 9th is kind of driving me a little insane. Especially since there are young, vital dongsmen lurking lower in the lineup.
-
Sounds very hookers & blow-related.
-
Personally, I think his key flaws are mitigated significantly if he can be a DH, hence him ideally having decent value despite those flaws after finally a sustained stretch of hitting. What kind of value are you getting for a DH only? Seriously asking, seems like you'd be lucky to get an Odorizzi level talent or else would have to take a gamble on a injured guy coming back with upside like Garrett Richards I'm not expecting them to trade Soler straight up for another pitcher. I'd think they'd use him as a key piece in a trade. Also, it's not like teams would ONLY be looking for him as a DH; I'm sure plenty of teams would assume or hope they could get him to perform tolerably in LF or at 1B.

Come on, man; this is just goofy.

I said before I think his likely path is Soriano with worse defense, baserunning and nagging injuries. Not without his value, but that's a whole lot of "ehhhhhh" when people start talking like he's looking like another can't-miss young player. Given the [expletive] pitching FA market and how old (and, quite frankly, REALLY lucky in terms of injuries) the Cubs' starting rotation is, using him as part of a deal to try and bolster that area doesn't seem like the worst idea. Hitting Soler is fun, but minus the NL looking like it's going to get the DH soon, I would mind at all if they opt to trade him if it looks like his value is back up to the point he nets something very good in return. I mean, I look at it as win-win either way. How is this a response to what you quoted? Magic.

RETURN TO PARADISE. Vince Vaughn takes a bath with Anne Heche, I guess.

Oh my god, what was the name of this stupid movie? Was that the Claire Danes one? That's what I thought at first, but that was Brokedown Palace, which was also terrible.

lochte is going to have to go back and take responsibility in the form of accepting a life imprisonment in return for them commuting the sentences of his friends from death to life. Oh my god, what was the name of this stupid movie?

I always thought best thing about that photo is you know that nobody had to suggest for him to pose like that; he probably wouldn't stop doing it and they were finally, like, "FINE, we'll take the [expletive] mirror picture."

Hookers and blow would also explain why his hair turned a lovely shade of Max Schreck.
-
Once you're past 30 you'll realize hooker and blow fiestas can involve many, many people.

But seriously, it's obviously some combination of Lester, Jake and Hendricks.
