    I wish I could tell you some good spots in Minneapolis, but it's getting to be too long since I lived there. Here in Austin, the best queso I've had is at Torchy's Tacos.. Very solid queso cheese, with green chilies and black beans on the bottom to mix in... Topped with their signature hot sauce, chopped cilantro, and cojita cheese.. so good. http://austinot.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Torchys-queso.jpg

    Aren't we getting to the point where it doesn't matter what Nolasco thinks?

    Was the roasted red pepper and feta a hummus dip? That sounds good, now I'm going to have to be on the lookout for that at Target.
  4. Vanimal46
    Yeah maybe I should move guac to #1. Normally it's very consistent and good no matter where you get it.... As a queso aficionado, some restaurants really don't know what they're doing with queso, while other restaurants knock it out of the park. Too much inconsistency to be #1.
  5. Vanimal46
    Probably. That will be fine with me. Don't think he's going to be someone that will haunt the team if he's let go.

    ^^ This. ^^

    Pretty disappointed that Taylor Rogers was one of the cuts... I guess out of the remaining options I'd choose Pressly to take the final spot. I don't know how you can sell Tonkin to the fans as being one of the better options in this bullpen after the spring he's had so far.

    I'll go over, even though I'm not very confident in that pick. If I bet the under on the A's and Angels then someone has to get the wins...
  10. Vanimal46
    Agreed. It may be pretty ugly for the Angels sooner than later. They already spend $27.8 mill in dead money thanks to Josh Hamilton... Wilson and Weaver are both signed through next season and have been cooked for a while now. They may have to get pretty lean the next couple of years until the albatross contracts are over with.
  11. Vanimal46
    I've noticed that too. I don't know how they turn the tables to Jimmy's story, or balance it out going forward. Jimmy's story isn't as captivating as Mike's right now.
  12. Vanimal46
    Thoughts from last night's episode? I like that Kim is becoming a bigger part of the show, and not just a small bit character from season 1. I shouldn't be surprised anymore that Mike is a bada$$ dealing with the Salamanca cousins. Hardly broke a sweat eliminating that threat.
  13. Vanimal46
    Not sure if you're joking or not. Either way why was it necessary to type "tons of temptation to go PED on recovery"?
  14. Vanimal46
    I don't know if there was an obvious choice to take his place a couple of years ago was there? I guess Dozier had his breakout season in 2014.. My memory is fuzzy, and I can't recall others that could have made the move to #3. This year should be a no-brainer now that Sano is establishing himself, and Park so far seems to be able to hit MLB pitching.
  15. Vanimal46
    I hope they slide Mauer into the #2 slot in the batting order. Makes a lot of sense to get him out of the #3 slot and insert Park or Sano there instead. 13 HR is an optimistic projection. If he can match last year's total of 10 I will be happy. I'll go .275 BA and .750 OPS.
  16. Vanimal46
    I'll say under, but not by much.
  17. Vanimal46
    Can't argue with you there. I don't know enough about the situation to know what is the case. For a brief period in time things were clicking for Meyer which warranted the high prospect ranking. Last year was a complete train wreck for him, and this spring so far shows not much has changed. We could be looking back 2-3 years from now and remember him as a highly ranked prospect that flamed out in the minors.

    Of course! Strawberries love the warm temperatures where they can shred on skateboards, surf boards, and even partake in skiing! http://thumb1.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/662758/243219958/stock-vector-funny-strawberry-cartoon-surfing-on-milk-splashing-wave-vector-illustration-243219958.jpg

    You're not that far off from the last container of strawberries I bought over a month ago. The color looked right, but there wasn't a hint of sweetness to them. They also got mushy within 2 days of being in the fridge. Very disappointing.
  20. Vanimal46
    I endorse this move 100%. If he couldn't make the MLB bullpen, he needed to get back in the rotation in AAA. First things first, someone needs to fix this guy. Doesn't matter if he's starting or in the pen if he doesn't know where his pitches are going to end up.
  21. Vanimal46
    Not surprising to read that at all. It was clear that there were some players that came to KW to complain. Williams was doing what anyone in upper management would do - keep those names protected and put the blame on himself. Eaton and Sale were the most vocal out of all players on this matter, and most likely in the minority in their own clubhouse on this situation. Honestly, anyone in Vegas should bet the under on this team right now.
  22. Vanimal46
    No TV or radio? Both teams must be working on super secret plays today... hidden ball trick, hit and run with no runners on base, pretending it's a passed ball but the catcher has it the whole time... at least that's what I'd be doing.
  23. Vanimal46
    Could be. How would the White Sox know during negotiations that Drake was in the Nationals club house 100% of the time? I don't think the White Sox had to know what the expectations were if the terms were never discussed. This situation is obviously important to LaRoche, so I think we can make the assumption that this was brought up early in the negotiation process. He probably let the White Sox know that before we get too far down the path, I'd like for my son to be with me in the clubhouse. The White Sox agreed to that and moved forward with salary negotiation. I could be dead wrong, but I highly doubt written into the contract were the terms "Drake LaRoche gets to be in the clubhouse x% of the time" - if it is, then I'd like to start negotiating my employment contracts with the White Sox, because that is incredibly stupid to do.
  24. Vanimal46
    I think Frank Lucas in American Gangster sums up the Sale situation... http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/d0/d8/d6/d0d8d61d9303f756b103f6e642d0c948.jpg Sale can be vocal about this because his job security is that good on the White Sox. Doesn't mean that he has 24 other people behind him on this matter. Like you said, I'm willing to bet there's a silent majority in that clubhouse that complained to Williams about this matter, and are unwilling to go public on it. I don't blame them for that one bit...
  25. Vanimal46
    Do you really think the White Sox agreed to have Drake LaRoche present in their clubhouse 100% of the time? I agree that having his son in the clubhouse was certainly discussed before agreeing to sign his contract with the White Sox. I'm assuming during the negotiation process it was mentioned LaRoche would like to bring his son in the clubhouse, which they agreed upon. I'm not assuming that there was any sort of percentage put on there in his contract on how much Drake is allowed in the clubhouse.... Like it was mentioned before, Kenny Williams said 50% of the time would be acceptable for his kid to be in the clubhouse. They were still honoring the terms, but LaRoche didn't feel 50% was good enough.
