I just got a purchase order from the Boston Red Sox. My business typically is not a very exciting one, but I do enjoy selling to the baseball clubs.

Kind of exciting, isn't it?

I love getting the checks with the team logos on them -- and I'm not talking about the goofy 'hey, I'm an Indians super fan" personal checks.

better than given credit for i think.

minus the gorilla costume, he did a good job.

I'm with you. I've heard a lot of people suggest that Duquette deserves the lions share of the credit, which I think is fucking ridiculous.

I agree he should get some credit, but if I remember correctly, he kind of pilfered Pedro on his way out of Montreal (which, credit due, is a great pilfer), and they just opened the checkbook for Manny. They were both huge parts of those championship teams, but it was the ancillary moves like Bellhorn, Meuller, Roberts, Foulke, Schilling that impress me more.

Speaking of pitchers and the DL, did you see your boy, Clay Buttholes, went down? That was a big surprise to me.

I'm shocked it took this long to have him get "hurt"

I hate this woman from the deep, black depths of my soul.

As fan sues to expand safety nets down foul lines - SFGate

Gail Payne, who has been attending A’s games since 1968, contends that her seats in Section 211 along the first-base line at the Oakland Coliseum put her and her family at unnecessary risk in the absence of screens between home plate and the outfield foul poles, the suit says.
Unnecessary risk? Who's forcing this bizzo to go to games, anyway? She should be more concerned about the unnecessary risk she's putting her family through for taking them to Oakland!
:bolt:

Didn't watch it. Who won?

Some fucktard named Todd Frazier. I bet he sucks dick, like everyone else who's from Cincinnati.

Unless the Mets trade for him, then he's awesome until he sucks again

Her reflexies ain't wut they used-ta be.

I hope they refuse to sell her tickets after this is all over...which she will probably win.

34-35 since May 1st.

Not sold on that lineup, especially without Springer. They have power, but they're near the bottom of the AL in OBP. I'd be shocked if they finished 4th (or better) in runs scored. And their rotation outside of Keuchel/McCullers sucks.

Similarly, I hate Buster Posey for not knowing how to safely block a plate which led to us losing collisions. It's A Pussy New World.
