  1. And for parents with young kids, shes also apparently the voice of Sofia. Guess Ill be watching that show differently now.
  2. Im not sure, but im getting a sense they wanted to focus on pitching this draft.
  3. Anyone else having an issue where every video posted to this site just shows up as a black screen, or is it just my crappy old computer?
  4. That kid is not 18.
  5. While we are winning the division regardless of what the Cardinals do this year, its refreshing to see them finally experience some Pythag bad luck for once.
  6. Point towards not creepy weirdo: he did not mention God once in his on field post game interview. My wife and I did have a good time making fun of his wifes music last night though, which was described as Christian EDM.
  7. I think Im on the safety/5T train as well.
  8. [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet] So.... Not that this really means anything, just thought it was funny.
  9. How is lb a need I suppose I wasnt thinking straight positional need but rather pass rushing need. Either way, still pissed that they didnt take Tunsil.
  10. Ugh. What happened to drafting BPA and not for need?
  11. Theres a difference between WGN local and WGN America now. You have WGN America, which no longer shows Cubs games.
  12. Oh no, we are outperforming our pythag! #pixiedust
  13. Pretty much. I think it is a little bit of both, personally. Different types of alcohol do have different effects, but people are quick to make excuses for their behavior, and the type of alcohol they happened to be drinking is an easy escape goat. Someone has a bad night where they make a fool of them self, and they say it's because they drank tequila. I have a friend who only drinks whiskey, but says that he absolutely cannot drink Irish whiskey. He says even one shot of Jameson will make him feel all [expletive] up, like his body just won't accept it. I'm pretty sure he just doesn't like the taste, and the rest is psychosomatic. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2x4ahyPyE1r5zuiho1_250.gif
  14. As someone who worked as a cook at White Horse, the original one closed in 2007/2008. Despite being fairly busy, the owner couldnt make the payments on the place (the rumor was he was spending a lot of the profits on cocaine or something), and had to close down. Someone else tried re-opening it as a drink only place, but that was short lived. Eventually, they moved over to John Street, and it is similar in name only. I loved that place (despite basically getting paid in food and drinks), met my wife there, and many of my friends today are people I worked with there. They had some of the best bar food on campus, and to this day Ill still occasionally make a White Horse grilled cheese sandwich (triple layer muenster/red onion, cheddar/tomato, cream cheese).
  15. Missing photo from the slideshow.
  16. I used to be good at picking brackets...what happened?
  17. [tweet]https://twitter.com/PabloOzuna38/status/708810169447268352[/tweet] Yes, the Cardinals always seem to be on the wrong side of the argument, but its their hypocritical nature that always gets me. They are the worst.
  18. Im thinking some time after game 50. But if you want a better answer than that, perhaps you should go ask your fellow fans over at GRB. "Some time after game 50"? That's quite the analysis, sir. Shame on me for thinking that a reply would speculate how many minor league innings or starts would be needed before serious consideration would be given for a promotion. I think it's time that you take over Ron Darlings slot on the MLB Network. Your knowledge and perspective clearly warrants it. I was just being cheeky...no need to get all "BFIB" on me.
  19. Im thinking some time after game 50. But if you want a better answer than that, perhaps you should go ask your fellow fans over at GRB.
  20. Not that its any surprise, but Correa told others in the Cardinals organization about the hacking. http://www.bleachernation.com/2016/01/25/convicted-cardinals-employee-told-colleagues-he-found-cardinals-info-on-astros-system/
  21. as the person who invented this idea* i demand you call it hybrid dh *maybe I really like this idea(if the ultimate endgame is DH) and don't think I've ever heard it before. Forgive my feeble mind, but does this mean that once you take your starting pitcher out, you lose the DH for the rest of the game?
  22. Damn. That's impressive. I used to work there and put away 13 once, but felt like I wanted to die afterwards. 1 through 11 went down very fast. 12-14 with a little effort, 15-17 were pretty tough but still manageable. 18-20 sucked. Those last 3 I would just sit there and chew each bite for like a minute before I could convince my body to swallow.
  23. I suppose this is the place where I get to brag about the time I ate 20 IHOP pancakes during one of the all you can eat specials...all smothered in butter and strawberry syrup. And waffles FTW.
