  1. Back to even with my vote for Ping. Sorry Vance. I think you're awesome, but this is Ping we're talking about here. I see him vs. TT for the championship.
  2. I've been involved in a few acquisitions and, generally, the purchase agreements state that the current mangement will continue business as usual - if that involves signing contracts, acquiring or selling assets, etc. Then after this general provision, there will be certain trigger levels that would require consultation/approval fromm the buyer. Even then, though, if the proposed transaction in excess of the trigger levels is seen to be beneficial to the business the approval will be granted. What they're looking to avoid is current management selling an asset worth $10 million to a brother-in-law for $1 million, or buying an asset worth $1 million and paying $10 million. But if you have an asset you paid $10 million for that is now worth only $1 million (say a pallet full of first generation Ipods or Jacque Jones's contract) selling that for $1 million generally wouldn't be a problem. On the other hand, if the buyer thinks current management doesn't have a clue and making any decisions with long term consequences is going to reduce the value of the business, then the answer will generally be no. So you're basically saying we're screwed.
  3. A good outing for Lilly. Just what the bullpen needed too.
  4. I'm pretty sure most of us are surprised that Damien freaking Miller has 2 homers and 7 RBI's. He didn't have 7 RBI's in his whole Cub career I don't think.
  5. his real name is Exavier Prente Logan Odd spelling of Xavier. I don't really like it. Nook's better. His whole name is terrible. What were his parents thinking? I ask that question quite often. I covered a game with a kid named Sjohn once. Pronounced Sean. Terrible. There's a kid whose name is pronounced Ashola. Kudos if you get the joke or if you can figure out how that name is actually spelled. I see a naughty word in there.
  6. Stupid Pirates. Can't count on them for anything.
  7. his real name is Exavier Prente Logan Odd spelling of Xavier. I don't really like it. Nook's better. His whole name is terrible. What were his parents thinking?
  8. He's got maybe 1 more inning. His pitch count is too high.
  9. Nice outing for Veal. Still too many walks though.
  10. Come on Lilly. It's the Nationals for crying out loud. Get out of the inning.
  11. Complaining about the game taking too long? We're winning 7-0. Just be happy. :D
  12. 3 more rbi's tonight for DeRosa. He's definitely earning his pay.
  13. Lenny Harris is the Nationals' hitting coach? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
