Lmao get the fuck outta here!

I assume you know I'm joking.

I did know him, but I have no knowledge of his thoughts on Canada past or present.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Canada kinda sucks, especially if you run into a Canadian with a serious case of inferiority complex.

I love BC, Whistler/Blackcomb in particular, and I really like Toronto. In Toronto, I have definitely experienced some of the "we're just as good as NYC" attitude.

I did not. I plan on spray painting maple leaves on the side of his trailer.

Tina Fey said it best on 30 Rock, "Toronto is like New York, just without all the...stuff".

City's definitely changed a fuck-ton since I was a kid though.

As much as a certain poster would probably drive me insane were it to happen, a Tigers-Jays series would be pretty awesome just from a nostalgia standpoint.

I think they'd have a pretty hard time stopping Jays fans from buying tickets to Comerica too, which would be awesome/bloody.

 

[dougplayer]

Used to be a good rivalry. .jays. vs tigers.
Why you bashing canada? Ontario is nice.

Not sure where ''belle.island'' is, doug? And that "your people" remark? Not sure I get that either?

Do you mean Bob-Lo Island? That has not been around for years. There is an island up by Mackinaw City called Bois Blanc? Is that it? Belle Island - not familiar with...where is it located?

 

[dougplayer]

Bell isle. Mr correct word speller.
Right by zugg island

 

[dougplayer]

Verlander pitcher of the month for july.
I like our chances tonight

 

[Iffster]

Bell isle. Mr correct word speller.
Right by zugg island

So, you think Belle Isle and Zug Island are close to each other? Exactly when did you move to Detroit from Miami?

Someone supposedly from Detroit NOT knowing it is Belle ISLE and not Belle ISLAND. I find that odd.

 

[dougplayer]

Who said they were close? Michigan man my whole life. I figure you to hang out down there

Lucroy explains his veto.....


"My agent, Doug Rogalski, found out it was the Indians that traded for me. I was surprised, but I wanted to keep an open mind. Great team. Competitive team. There's a real chance to win. Doug called Chris Antonetti, the Indians' president. There was one thing we wanted to know: What was my future with the Indians? We knew Cleveland already had a good catcher, Yan Gomes, who's injured right now. He's getting paid more than me, and he's younger than me. We knew they'd probably want him catching almost every day next year. Heck, if I were the general manager in Cleveland, I'd want Gomes catching every day.

We were right. Antonetti told Doug that the Indians couldn't make any promises on me catching next season. There was no way they'd drop the team option, either, because I'm pretty inexpensive in 2017. I don't blame them. I would have been mostly at first base and designated hitter. In the end, that was the deal killer. Doug called me. He said, You're not going there."

If you believe a word of that, you're retarded.

 

[broncosmitty]

What do YOU believe?

He just hates Cleveland?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Mulling over the vetoed trade, there are three reasonable scenarios in my opinion.

1. He didn't want to move to Cleveland.
2. He was concerned the Indians would trade him in the off season.
3. He's got a half-wit for an agent.

Personally, I think it's a combo of 2 and 3.

 

[Iffster]

Lucroy...spills beans to TMZ...

"I was ready to go to Cleveland when my good buddy dougplayer called. We've been friends since elementary school days when we were in the same special education class. He told be that Cleveland was headed down hill, that he had predicted it weeks ago. That was good enough for me. Whatever "Pencildick" says (that's what we called him back then) is good enough for me. So I told the Indians to break one off."

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

What do YOU believe?

He just hates Cleveland?

Certainly a possibility.

 

[broncosmitty]

Only thing I could see him leaving out is that he asked for a healthy raise.

The rest makes perfect sense to me.

Moving from catcher to first would kill his value as a FA after next year. (It won't be that great anyway as he'll be heading into age 32 season. But there are Atleast 40 guys who are as goodve an option offensively at first. Prolly more.)
