    Chisenhall makes it quick.

    What's the over-under how much longer it lasts, now that you've jinxed it?

    From yesterday's game thread, a closeup of the graph for that first inning: http://www.bankruptcylawnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/flatline.jpg

    Peter Cetera was with them from at least the first album, and was IMO part of why they were good.

    A considerable accomplishment.

    You should consider signing up to do a game-thread starter sometime.

    He's had a good June so far, batting .324 with an OPS almost .900.

    Never visited Philly, I take it?

    I like your new avatar and tagline. I played way too many hours of that game.

    He can take them out to the spot where Encarnacion's souvenir landed and show them first-hand. / edit - ninja'd by about a bazillion posters. I want a new wifi.

    We can go with this one if you like it better:

    Molitor to Turley before the game: "You better plan on going 9. Breslow's first up in the bullpen if you need help. Just so you know."

    Where? The Internet, if I recall correctly. It's been a while though. Why? Once in a while you need a visual illustration of the word "defenseless".

    It goes farther. Tonight's Weather Outlook (TWO) includes a chance of Thunderstorms With Occasionallightning (TWO). The omens are everywhere if you know where to look.

    True. But any smart team will have various benchmarks as to what a million dollars is worth. For instance I've seen a guideline that buying free agent costs about $6M per win. Free agency is kind of steep, but even if it's more like $3M per win when running a team ($250M total revenue, 81 wins is about par), then the FO has to ask themselves if spending an extra mil gets them a 1-in-3 chance at an additional win sometime down the road. If they believe a draftee has that potential, i.e. a decent chance to have more than a cup of coffee as a career, they ought to pony up the dough.

    It would be easy to joke they should rebuild the warning track about 10 feet shallower because Buxton's so fast that he needs more warning. But he missed that ball, so I infer that he was aware of the fence - it looked barely catchable if there were no obstacle. He just seems to have a Plan B that he'll cushion the impact somehow. Somebody needs to explain to him that he's not indestructible.

    The top guy on your board is going to be some over-slot guy every time. That's why (apart from the 1:1) pick) they are still available - nobody else felt they could afford them either, nor take a chance on drafting but not signing them. Nobody has the draft budget to do it that way, not because of cheapness by the individual team but because of the draft pool process.

    I saw only Buxton's double last night, but if the closed stance is giving him a better chance at outside pitches, he certainly isn't giving up anything on being able to turn on inside strikes. Nice!

    If you believe volatility is an issue, regardless of a bullish longterm view, then paying off the mortgage lets you apply your old mortgage payment to buying new stock, taking advantage of dollar-cost averaging. Rather than ride out a bad patch with your portfolio, you say, "hey! they're having a sale on stocks this month!"
