My Takes:

  1. I am still team DaveW, believe him all the way. Thanks again for sharing Dave. 
  2. Since we have extended the deadline to tomorrow, can we start placing bets on the over unders for numbers of comments and pages on this thread by the time it is over?

My pleasure!

I would slightly prefer Alavrez instead of Bellinger, but I would be super happy either way!

 

I'd take Alvarez if the third piece was a position player or a lower level P than Stewart

Thanks! It's been a fun thread at the very least, even though I have gotten a couple nasty private messages from people...which is weird, it's just baseball and its JUST a trade, some people take things a little to seriously. 

Just to set things straight:
I was called an attention whore in the message by a member who I won't mention.

This isn't the case at all, I have a legit source, I have messaged background on the source to Brock and another Mod at this point, if they think I'm full of it or something they can feel free to lock the thread/ban me or whatever. I'm not looking to "make a name" for myself or anything of the sort, I don't have a blog I'm trying to promote, I don't even have a twitter! If someone gets this upset over a thread on a message board I would suggest they calm down a bit, or just ignore the thread as a whole! Plenty of other things to read on the internet or even this site as a whole!

To the 99% of you who are being cool, nice and having a good time, thanks! Either way no matter when the trade goes down, it's been a nice distraction the last day or so!

It's fun to "be in the know" before everyone else when it comes to sports scoops.  My "In the Know" story was I was on vacation with a guy who's roommate at the time worked for the Vikings in some fashion and told him the day before we were going that Onterrio Smith was going to be suspended because he tried to "beat" a drug test somehow.  It came out a few weeks later he got caught with the Whizzinator.  Good times!

Very nice, this thread is a fun trip down memory lane as well! Whizzinator is an all time great Minnesota sports story, it's no love boat, but its close! Yeah, it's fun to be tipped stuff once in a while, especially when you are a big sports fan.

Speaking of the love boat, I found out that it now resides in Okoboji Iowa (I have a lot of family in Okoboji) I want to rent it out some day.

As of 4:18 PM we are 517 posts.  

 

I will put the over/under at 605.  This takes into account most of us go home from work around 4:30 or 5:00 and the messages slow a bit.  

 

I think that leaves us with a window of about 7:00 or 8:00 for the trade.

 

I will take the under.

Pack some amoxicillin if you do.

I was a Douche Bag FRAT BRO in college, I'm pretty sure I am immune at this point.

I'll take the over since I don't think the deal gets done until at least tomorrow. And what are we considering done? Leaked to MLBTR? Officially announced?

Watch out if one of the owners or mods takes the Under. :)

I wouldn't define "by the time it is over" as when the deal is announced or confirmed

 

It should be when the thread finally falls off the front page.

 

I'm going with 891 posts and 93000 views

Uh, time doesn't flow more slowly out here, I don't think it does anyway.....

 

I don't know....there is a kind of laziness that seems almost like it.....

 

Anyway, has Levine's page reloaded yet or did he make that cardinal mistake and open a second browser?
