  1. *takes in a deep breath* Ahhh.. Can you smell it? I've been waiting all winter for that sweet scent of STRONG takes! Whenever a strong take is in the air, a SCORCHING hot take is not that far behind... Which means real baseball is close!
  2. He started off hot out of the gate. I was hoping he wouldn't fizzle out after 1 thread.
  3. Nothing wrong with being an old soul! I think I would have really enjoyed the 80's if I was alive in that time period...
  4. Way under. This team is already divided from the LaRoche situation. I would bet 6 months rent in Vegas on the under.
  5. Today is National Mom & Pop Business Owners Day! I love small restaurants and shops that succeed. My favorite pizza joint is a mom and pop shop in Austin, where they make New York style pizza pies along with fantastic sandwiches... Today is also National Lemon Chiffon Cake Day! It's described as a light, spring time cake.. Almost like angel food cake? If that's the case, I am on board to eat it.
  6. I have not tried that yet. Sounds good though! Like you ChiTown, I'm a very boring non-alcoholic drinker... Gave up on soda (other than as a mixer) a couple of years ago.. I'll usually make my own flavored water to spice things up!
  7. Anybody going to the Metallica concert at US Bank Stadium? That's a bucket list concert I'd love to attend...
  8. TLC was great! Don't go chasing waterfalls now, Willi. Don't Stop Believin' was ruined for me long ago.... Heard it enough to last a lifetime at sporting events and final call at the bars..
  9. This may sound like I'm down on Buxton, but I'd honestly be pleased with results like this at the plate for his first full season: .240 BA / .680-700 OPS / 8 HR / 25 SB / 5+ Web Gems on Baseball Tonight
  10. Wham was in the top 3 of last cuts, North. Unfortunately they were behind Olivia Newton and The Weather Girls on my all-time song list...
  11. If we're talking guilty pleasures..... Britney Spears - Criminal England Dan & John Ford Coley - I'd really love to see you tonight Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much Jennifer Paige - Crush Madonna - La Isla Bonita Really anything from the 80's... I have a soft spot for pop music during that decade..
  12. Raise your hand if you had Syracuse going to the Final 4..... Nobody? That's what I figured. This may have been the worst NCAA bracket I've ever turned in.. All 4 Final Four teams eliminated.
  13. That one was more or less sarcasm..... buuut if it's on the playlist I'm certainly not skipping it!
  14. Woah woah woah I missed the top 10 songs list?! I shouldn't have went to happy hour Friday afternoon... No particular order for these sweet deep jams.... Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (mentioned countless times, and should be, it's a great song) Fleetwood Mac - Never Going Back Again Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun Kings of Leon - Arizona Queens of the Stone Age - Go with the Flow Zac Brown Band - Colder Weather Weezer - Undone (The Sweater Song) Incubus - Nice to Know You George Michael - Careless Whisper Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise (AKA my walk up and relief pitcher song in high school baseball)
  15. Pictured: Pat Reusse walks into the press box the next day after writing his column "Young Sano has Growing Up to Do"
  16. Pictured: Ricky Nolasco explores a new option to gain an advantage in the Nolasco vs. Duffey rotation battle.
  17. Nice! Though it may take me a episode or 2 to get Dr. House out of my brain when I watch Hugh Laurie...
  18. I still remember in my elementary school days, my dad would get me going by saying your mom is needing more dandelions to put in the vase, you should go pick some! Little did I know then that I was doing him a favor by picking those dandelions from the yard so he didn't have to!
  19. I wonder if the knee or shoulder was starting to bug him again if he's deciding to hang it up for good?
  20. Seems like there's a significant delta between the critic's reviews and the average joe's reviews. I'm sure that's normally the case but I'm surprised this movie is almost unanimously disliked by the critics, and loved by the average audience. Maybe it's just the fan boys/girls of anything Marvel that I'm reading on Rotten Tomatoes, and it'll start evening out in the next couple of weeks. This probably is a movie that's better in the theater than your living room. Like others, the premise of this movie does nothing for me.
  21. Do you guys miss the state fair? Me too... You can pretend it's the state fair today with this national holiday..... National Something on a Stick Day! Whether it's kabobs on the grill, corn dogs, pronto pups, or deep fried snickers, put something on a stick today and eat it! Today is also National Black Forest Cake Day! I did not know this cake existed, and it's right in my wheelhouse. Layers of chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherries in between each layer! Topped with chocolate shavings. Sign me up... Today is also National Weed Appreciation Day! Not that kind of weed.... The dandelion kind! This is the time of year to get your yard in shape and get rid of the weeds. Before you do that, take some time to appreciate them!
  22. So the average age of the rotation heading into this season, assuming that Nolasco wins the final rotation spot is 30.4 years old... I guess that's okay to have proven players to begin the season, but I'm more excited for the time when Berrios and Duffey make their way up to the big show full-time.
  23. Much like diehard, I think there's going to be a slight decline at the plate for this season, but his defense will still provide value for the team. Going forward I'd love to see the OBP climb so he can be a table setter at the top of the order. .250 BA / .680-.700 OPS / 14 HR
  24. Agree with you 100%. Though I am concerned that the fan's perceived leash for Nolasco is quite different than the FO's perceived leash. We're going to need results on either extreme of the spectrum... Where he's brilliant and the team recoups some value out of that contract, or he's brutal and hopefully that will be the final nail in the coffin. If he's Pelfrey-like, I won't know what to think.
  25. I would be very disappointed if Buxton is not the opening day CF. For someone who's been hyped nationally for this long, consistently a top 2 prospect overall in the MLB, it's hard not to be impatient as a fan.
