    There's a cap on the number of days a rehab stint can last. Not sure of the exact number though; it's like 10 or 15 days IIRC. Hopefully nobody in the league office finds out about Angel Guzman. hahahaha

    Right after signing deadline

    Dammit, I glossed over that. I was thinking that he just made his first salient point, and I was in celebratory mode.

    Nice forfeit lineup to kill our winning streak. [expletive].
  6. javy knows my name
    YES

    If you have to search that hard for reputable sites, it has been banhammered. Pokerstars and Fulltilt are no longer accepting US players. Full Tilt hasn't even paid out. I have no clue what room you're talking about here, but I can guarantee you it's not big and it's not reputable in any way. Maybe Cereus? It operated for a couple weeks after Tilt/Stars were seized, but it's shut down like the others AFAIK. Absolute/Ultimate Bet has been shady for years. With the Russ Hamilton and superuser issues. Cake and the Merge networks were complete [expletive] with very few players. The only 2 reputable sites with good traffic were Tilt and Stars. Online US poker is DEAD. They have national sites like pokerstars.it and .fr where France and Italy then collect taxes. IIRC, Belgium as well with Germany on the way. I suspect you're talking about of your ass here. Ah, that's what you meant by regulation. I didn't know those governments were collecting taxes on play at Stars. Merge was the network I was talking about. Of course, they aren't currently taking new signups. This thread on 2+2 is my main reference. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28/internet-poker/where-can-us-players-play-1021260/

    Who is their QB and wouldn't they have lost a bunch of commits when Tressel left?

    For me, it's Florida State @ 5, Nebraska @ 11, Auburn at 19 (ahead of Mississippi State, even) that I don't get. I get Nebraska there. With you on the other two. Why is OSU even in the top 25?

    The Angels wouldn't trade Cron for Castro and Garza. PTBNL

    The Harmon Killebrew article is amazing. "All the guy did is hit an ungodly amount of HRs and take walks, and not much else." The hell else is there to do?

    This goes double for online poker. The US is the only country that places restrictions on it, and the restrictions basically kill it in this country. Swing and a miss. The US restrictions have completely killed it (banhammered) and it is pretty regulated through most of Europe. But yeah, it's really stupid. Legalize, set standard practices, regulate it and tax it. No. It has not been completely killed. There are still several reputable sites that accept US players. Ask me if I'll tell you what they are. The US first started putting sanctions on online payment processors, which drove away the big fish who realized that they could still keep a ton of traffic if they disallowed players from the US. That about cut US options in half, and then Absolute and Full Tilt starting doing shady things and drawing attention to themselves and they were banhammered. There is still one very big room that accepts US players, but they're getting kind of scary, too. How the [expletive] is it regulated in Europe? They have access to all the payment processors, and no sites that I know of say "no" to Europeans and "yes" to Canadians. Or Chinese. Or whatever. I suspect you're talking about of your ass here.

    Yeah, the presence of hard drugs at a party is not the issue here. What the [expletive] was he doing playing ILLEGAL POKER?!
  17. javy knows my name
    Was this before or after LaRussa said they were throwing at him and Braun should've ducked? During. It's all there.

    I'm really interested to learn what Szczur did to Keith Law

    There was also the 1900 or so PA he had in the minors to that point where he wasn't good either. Looks relatively consistent to his 2010 performance to me. But anyway, I'm not even sure what you're arguing, aside from trying to make sure every negative aspect of this discussion is highlighted. No one thinks Colvin should have gotten more PT until now. No one thinks Colvin should be riding the bench right now. No one should think that 100 PA's of Colvin this year(or even the 500 PA's he's had in his MLB career thus far) are proof of anything conclusive about him as a player. So you give him the opportunity to fill in the blanks about his true talent level(whether that's star, scrub, or somewhere in between) that he hasn't had yet this season. What's the issue here? Yeah, I don't have a problem letting him play out the season if it makes everyone feel better. And I would be interested to see what last year's astronomical hr/fb rate levels out at. But I agree with Mojo; I think we've already seen what he's likely to do...and it's not good.

    I still suck at reading Twitter copy-pastes Callis is responding to a tweet by saying the reason we're not hearing about Cubs signings is that they're so much over slot. I know, it just took me a few extra seconds. Thanks though.

    Why would Colvin have had to irritate Quade? Maybe Quade just knows he doesn't belong in a starting lineup. I think Len said last night that Colvin hasn't gotten a chance at regular playing time in order to prove himself. This is wrong.
  23. javy knows my name
    mmmI thought Carlas Peena batted 7th mhmm
  24. javy knows my name
    Yeah, it really downplays Robinson's struggles, and betrays ignorance more than anything
  25. javy knows my name
    No one here, really, but I'm tired of the imagined persecution complex. Bit of a carryover from the political thread.
