Sad that Vice does not even comprehend that he isn't the first to create an Internet life. Totally self absorbed, I suppose.
the lack of self awareness is a combination of pathetic, and hilarious.
every bullpen is a question mark right now.. the season hasn't started.. none of them are guaranteed to be good.
i think the yanks and royals are gonna have good pens, lol.

im taking prime manny ramirez over prime miggy anyday.

Through their age 32 seasons, Manny does have a better slash line. Of course, it was shortly thereafter that he began a rapid decline, but that couldn't possibly happen to Cabrera because he's a Tiger.

"We must defend Little Ceasar's!"
Here is a business lesson for you...

Little Caesars franchise model is to do walk up pizzas for $5. They are not ever going to be located in a place where rent is high.

Domino's franchise model is mostly delivery based... Which means they don't need a high rent location.

Pizza Hut is the only one of the 3 that does even a remotely decent size of their their business as a sit down restaurant... and this model is being fazed out. All new Pizza Huts are being put in low rent areas and focus is being put on delivery.

Now do the math. If the entire premise of your business is to sell pizza at the lowest cost possible.. and you need to lower your expenses to do so... why would they locations be put anywhere else other than low rent store fronts?

I doubt you are ever going to see any pizza chain in a high end area... ever. For sure not Domino's or Little Caesars.

Oddly enough, the Tigers got more innings per start from their rotation than the AL average.

Tigers - 5.85 INN/GS
AL Ave - 5.84 INN/GS

I think their rotation is improved, but I'm not sure how much. Even on the high end, I'm not sure it's enough to put it above average.
Zimmerman had a 3.66 ERA and a whip of 1.20 last year for the Nationals.....of course those numbers are worse than his previous couple years - so maybe he bounces back a bit - but i gotta think whatever bounce back will not be worth nearly as much as moving to the AL and having a defense that is at best in the bottom half of the AL...we shall see though...

If Zimmerman has an ERA of 4 or above and a whip of 1.2 or above he can be considered an unmitigated disaster with that contract.

Through age 32 seasons:

Cabrera: .321/.399/.562/.961/155

Ramirez: .316/.411/.599/1.010/156
is there a slash line for PED use? Because if there is.. Manny Ramirez in his Cleveland Indians days would be through the roof.

So, explain why, through their age 32 seasons, that Cabrera has been so much better than Ramirez was that you would laugh and say that Wiggy is the only one that would make that choice.
