    I dunno, Brian. Stop having them, and it could prove fatal. Maybe moderation is the key. One birthday every 5 or 6 years?

    Hip hip.

    This kind of aggregate stat line always drives me nuts. Obscured by this is the fact that EE was always young for his league. E.g. he was a regular in AAA at age 22. Back when the discussion of interest was Florimon versus Escobar, an age by age comparison of their minor league stats built a strong circumstantial case that Pedro was doomed to be inadequate at the plate, while Eduardo was on a track (if he kept improving with age and experience) to hit sufficiently to hold a job. Also obscuring the issue was that Chicago somehow totally screwed him up for one season, by bringing him up to the majors prematurely. Now, I remained concerned even recently that his numbers might not hold up if he played every day - he's not a real big guy. Lately I'm finally convinced. The rest of the article here is more about the fundamentals, and is of typically high quality, but this one line early-on bothered me.

    The issue as always is money. Relievers feel they get paid better (arbitration, which radiates to other non-FA contracts) when they rack up gaudy Save numbers. And players always are keeping an eye toward the next contract. Yes, even Saint Perk.

    Think Buxton might make a serviceable wide receiver? In a few years Sano might be our right tackle, but let's not think about that now.

    I still can't hear the Mexican Hat Dance at games without mentally adding, "NORM SUCKS", where you're supposed to clap.

    Good save. I was about to parody you mercilessly.

    The Danes seem to be fools over that kind of thing.

    Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. So you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

    Careful....

    Yes. No.

    You're about to find out. And get the blame if anything bad happens. What. So. Ever.

    +1 Internets to you for this find.

    Or if Marney knew any ... no, nononono, no.

    Chief still says it better. "Yes."

    When did I sta-...oh, I get it.

    I don't like the Fed overnight rate at 0.0% anymore. Please see what you (collectively) can do

    Good call as well.

    Bobby Heenan isn't going to take kindly to this trademark infringement. http://johnnygoodtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/bobbyheenan_display_image.jpg

    What you usually see in a true freshman is that he'll make some passes that leave you drooling for more, but then he undoes it by trying to force passes that worked for him in high school but not against this new level of competition - where (for example) everyone is now as tall as him and he can't see the LB who is licking his chops for a chance to step in front of a short and seemingly safe pass. A couple of pick-sixes will ruin your whole game. Best IMO to let him take full advantage of the additional year of coaching and physical growth.

    There's tales of Sano ice-fishing every weekend as a lad.

    When you find yourself drinking the video games and playing the whiskey, time to go to bed.

    Shhh. One of the best running jokes on TD.
