You spend a lot of time in a place you were ragging on just a few pages ago.

I've been to Hawaii a dozen times. I would never want to live there

THATS gods country

Beats the shit out of Worcester, like I said.

 

[Blotch]

how far up are you?

depends on the type of season down here. few winters ago we def outdid you guys for snow. i had 15 foot piles along my driveway lol.

If you live where your avatar box says you live, you don't get anything close to the snow that I do.

We took the kids to the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence last weekend. It was okay. Elephants were closer than in most zoos.

I feel glad that I would never need to get to Worcester.

While Verlander isn't what he was, he can still step up in the post season, he's got some left in the tank... Astros are the hands down favorite in the American league right now...

Hands down is strong IMO

The gap between Indians and Houston was widening, and all JV did was close it a good bit

2015 was awful here.

this was out the 2nd story window of my last gig in medical devices (not my office, he had a window)

you can see the top of a small tree

its ok. if you want a good outdoor zoo, take the ride to southwicks in mendon. its in the woods. literally. a zoo in the woods.

the laser carved pumpkins at roger williams every year is great.

The AL is wide open for Boston, Cleveland or Houston to claim, no?

If the Red Sox pen holds up, they have the horses in the rotation to shorten games.

sure. but the general store eventually runs out of canned goods i assume.

We get about 3 feet a week for 4 months straight.

He's laid big, steamy shits on the pitching rubber during the postseason more often than he hasn't.

the sox are MLB's version of last years celtics.

frauds.

only 2 other teams boast not having a guy with at LEAST a .800 OPS in their starting 9 (min plate appearances, so not counting devers yet).

the other 2 teams? one is SD. i forget the other (looked it up earlier in the week)

There's a Walmart and a Hannaford about 15 miles away from me.

Yeah, but only one team has Chris Sale.

Good to know, we saw some of the events coming up at Roger Williams and will probably head down there for some. That other zoo looks like it is closer to me so I'll have to check it out.

NBA and MLB are completely different. IT wasn't going to get hot in the playoffs and out play LeBron James. Any guy on the Red Sox could get hot and out-hit guys who have a higher OPS in the regular season.
