  1. It sounds like they are having a super secret real wedding with their closest friends and family and then some crappy ceremony for everyone else at an undesirable time to keep the attendance low and they can still collect gifts from the people that are sending their regrets. This. And I bet the wedding is in rural Wisconsin. I went to a wedding there once and it was just a keg of miller lite and horsefeathers pizza There is indeed miller lite and pizza

  3. the nuts and bolts of the dreaded nuptials are that it is my wife's cousin and his future wife, both of whom I like. We could have used the "we have a 3 year old and a 5 month old so we probably won't take off work to drive six hours round trip on a thursday but thanks" card, but it appears my wife was guilted by family members who don't see our kids as much as the rest of the fam and thus, on opening day, i will be on the road. but the good news is that there is also a wedding on saturday i must attend as well
  4. you would think so, but alas, it is not and I am expected to attend this and treat it like a normal function and not as an event meant solely to inconvenience me on my day of worship
  5. i was so excited to take tomorrow off work to just watch baseball all day. My yearly tradition! No wife, no kids, just me and my illegal streams because i turned off mlb.tv because they gave Lady KKK a buncha money imagine my dismay to learn that instead we are apparently attending a 5 P.M. THURSDAY WEDDING THAT IS 3 HOURS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. let me repeat that, a 5 pm wedding on a thursday
  6. look he's the antithesis of a wh...hard-nosed player like brett gardner or umm albert almo-- im being told almora is spanish. Would you accept that irish guy, McCutcheon?
  7. [offtopic][/offtopic] How about Dykstra's response? lol i didnt realize that was preston wilson
  8. let's not pretend less chris rose and kevin millar is a bad thing
  9. No matter what Hendricks does going forward, i think we can all agree he deserves this for what he's done so far.
  10. i remember adam dunn being kinda sneaky fast for a big fat country boy
  11. You say that like other pictures exist
  12. He's averaging close to 2k per inning in his ultra-small MLB sample size. Big leaguers swing at them and miss. He just needs more consistency with his other pitches to set that up. 21 percent o-swing last year and career 31 percent swing rate, rick ankiel, the year he was knoblauching himself, had percentages of 32 and 54
  13. Yates BB/9 in AA and AAA 5 3 3 4 3 3 Maples BB/9 in AA and AAA 7 (!) 5 9(!!)
  14. he's 27
  15. You saw the one that was a called strike right? And sure big leaguers don't swing at them. Right. he has 11 walks in as many innings in the big leagues. His WHIP is 2.25. You don't throw a slider for strikes, you throw it in the dirt when you already have 2 strikes on a hitter or are at least in a pitcher's count. Since he can't command any other pitch, when he faces a big league hitter he rarely gets in a pitcher's count and actual major leaguers know they can just spit on anything that looks like a slider. anyone with a good slider is going to have a nice highlight reel given enough time, but you gotta be able to command another pitcher for it to be of use.
  16. looks real good against AA hitters, but major leaguers just don't swing at them
  17. almora had a .200 ops in the second half but he added a leg kick this spring so he totally deserves a roster spot
  18. i wouldnt do it on OOTP but this is the real world where our biggest offseason waves were made by signing a ... 38 year old dude who rick ankieled himself out of the minors 16 years ago so probably not gonna dunk on the cardinals in this case, thank you
  19. remember when people wanted to trade schwarbs for him
