That is correct. I mean, if that wasn't the case, what would be the point of paying extra money for better booze? Do you think it's just a matter of taste? There is a reason for the price difference. The difference is in the way it is produced. Point taken. Like I said, I totally understand where you are coming from. It is certainly possible to get drunk off of cheap domestic beer, don't get me wrong. It happens every day. It just requires putting more liquid into your system and urinating more.

took the words out of my mouth oh and it gives him a dirty buzz, but NOPE not drunk This is not rocket science. Your body processes alcohol at a rate of about 1 drink per hour on average. When you are drinking beer that is only 4-5% alcohol, this means that you aren't going to get very drunk unless you are slamming beers really fast. You can drink 8 beers over an 8 hour period and just maintain that same low-level buzz. And, I mean, is it really that hard to believe that a person can tell the difference between top shelf alcohol and cheap domestic beer? I'm not making any extraordinary claims here. I never said I don't get drunk off of top shelf liquor. What I'm saying is that when you drink higher quality alcohol, the euphoria to impairment ratio is much more favorable. By euphoria, I pretty much mean "being drunk". When you drink higher quality alcohol, you get just as drunk, except you are not as impaired. You don't slur your words as much, and you aren't as confused. Sorry if you guys think I'm being uppity.

You missed the point pretty bad there, bud.

I definitely get where you guys are coming from, but the quality of the buzz isn't the same. Cheap domestic beer (like the Old Style I drank last night) makes me feel like I got hit in the head with a shovel. It's a more "dirty" buzz and it's like you get more impaired but less euphoria. Not to mention, it also doesn't get you drunk. Honestly, when I'm going out with any serious intent, I don't even bother with beer. When I try to dance with a stomach full of beer, it is not comfortable. Burping, nausea, etc. I also rarely drink beer at Wrigley, because I don't like missing half the game in the bathroom. When I drink top shelf liquor, I can drink like a fish without even slurring my words.

You guys are right that Goose Island is perfectly acceptable for a baseball stadium. That isn't really an issue. The fact that they only have Goose Island at the Cubby Bear is, to me, ridiculous. They have plenty of stuff at Sluggers, Murphy's, etc. Also... I have been kind of phasing myself out of IPA's lately. I'm not sure what it is, but they seem to tear up my stomach pretty bad. The next day I have trouble eating. I'm actually drinking an Old Style right now. It's $8.88 for a 12 pack, and it makes me feel really authentic. I think the product placement in Shameless and the association with the Cubs is to blame.

Haha. We have Dexter Fowler.

I'm glad to see the food continuing to get better, but they really need to do something about the beer situation. My biggest gripe with Wrigley and with the Cubby Bear is that they won't sell me a decent IPA. Goose Island is not a real craft beer.

I will take Pierce Johnson.

Indeed. -
yup. would you like to know whom to yell at? Lmao. That will not be necessary. I have 2 next year. :)
-
Just to clarify: the previous owner of my team traded my 1st round pick, correct?
-
Could somebody possibly just post something like this for all of the teams: Chicago Pigeons - Cubbie Swagger NSBB - Tim Etc. It would make it easier for noobies like myself to figure out who is who. If such a post already exists, my bad. I didn't see one, though.

He should really give Heyward back to me, so I can trade him for Joc Pedersen like I was supposed to.

Anyone looking for a last minute trade?
Cubbie Swagger replied to Tracer Bullet's topic in Fantasy Sports
Last call: If anybody wants Cespedes, Frazier, etc... you can have them for literally anything. I'll give it till about 10:00 and then I'll finalize my roster. -

Not sure if you saw my messages, but let's talk. -

Cubbie Swagger replied to Tracer Bullet's topic in Fantasy Sports
I'm trying to make some stuff happen. I've got some good guys that I'm about to lose due to the cap: Todd Frazier Yoenis Cespedes Gio Gonzalez Trevor Rosenthal Adam Eaton Any of those guys interest you? I can only trade for exempt guys, picks, or minor leaguers. -
Is the deadline for the rosters tonight at midnight or tomorrow at midnight?
-
Ah, okay.
-
Are the White Sox still looking at Jackson?
-
look at their stats and see if they have more than 3 years over the exempt limit. Exempt limit being 50 PAs, 5 starts, or 10 pitching appearances. You mean three or more, right? If a player has two years that qualify, he is exempt for one more year, and if he has three years that qualify, he is NOT exempt... correct?
-
Is there a way to tell who is exempt, or do I have to ask people?
-
the cap is only the keeper cap. once the keeper deadline passes, you can exceed the cap (through trades, the draft, etc) and then it's meaningless during the season until next season when you have to get back under the cap with your 10 majors and 10 minors keepers. So you're way over it because you need to get drop or trade a bunch of players by March 12 just like everyone else. Okay. Got it.
-
So the reason my team is way over the cap is because of a combination of: 1) Some of them being exempt, and 2) Some of them considerably exceeding their numbers from the previous year. Is that correct?
-
Okay wait. I read the 2000 point thing before, but I guess I didn't realize how constricting it is. How does my team have so many more than 2000 points?
-
I don't know what this exemption stuff means so I'm sure I missed something. I read the "Rules" thread and I can't find any rules on CBS.
