As awful as he is in the batter's box and as much as we groaned at his signing probably being just an appeasement for Jon Lester to come here, I grow to like David Ross more and more each day. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:15064729
The sign up thread should be stickied, I think a lot of people haven't noticed it's happening. Usually there's a sticky to let people know about it. A week left to enter and less than 10 entries.

The alt road jersey was easily one of the best jersey's they've introduced in a very long time. Upset it's not gonna be used anymore. On the plus side, that means they'll be liquidating those jerseys, right?
The only thing that worries me a little bit about that, and it's a completely irrational worry I'll admit, is the notion that guys like Soler and Fowler and whoever else sitting every few days might throw off whatever groove they might get in and they'll have trouble staying consistent. Like I said, it's irrational and there's no data that can support it, but it's something I worry about a little bit, but that's a very first world thing to be scared of. "Oh no, one of our potential all-stars might not be able to play well tomorrow because he's being sat in favor of one of our potential all-stars"
That Reddit banner was a mixture of graphics and CSS code. On Reddit they let you edit the headers with custom design code. I was messing around in photoshop and came up with this as a full sized banner rather than just the text. it's not terribly flashy, but it might look better than just having the text up there. http://i.imgur.com/wIH2kjY.jpg
I think this was the post I was thinking of... viewtopic.php?f=21&t=165&start=25#p7475 Ahhh yeah, that. I looked into that, it would've taken a very long time and would've been something I would've had to learn how to do on the fly, so it probably wouldn't have even looked good.
:shock: Whoa. I was kinda joking (not that I won't donate - I'm probably due) but that's awesome. Well, nsbb.com doesn't really work anymore, so it is due. I was hoping Logan would have time to create the one that looks like the jersey letters, though. Huh? Which one? The one I made was the jersey letter font.
brandon wants to take over kyle's role as the class contrarian I was just catching up on this thread and was gonna say that Almora is either super slow or he Edmondsed the hell out of that catch linked earlier. Almora isn't very speedy. Iirc pretty much every scouting service talked about how his instincts in cf that make him so good out there are other worldly because he's got very average speed for a cf'er. So his stellar defense heavily relies on his acumen for the position rather than his speed, which is impressive when he's pretty much praised across the board for his defensive ability.
