  1. http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/1a/1af261d875655e0bf82d6d1d48a9a344629ce715e08bb16326f91cdaf76b6e6d.jpg
  2. Not a good start to the off-season. Matt Kalil's agent was on Paul Allen's show this morning and said: "I think it's going to be difficult for [the Vikings] to re-sign Kalil," Baratz told KFAN. "I don't think he'll end up here." Link
  3. Anyone else feel that Taboo is a little boring? Just hasn't caught my attention yet through 2 episodes, and I'm thinking about jumping off the bandwagon.
  4. At first I wasn't sure what you were talking about.... Tyson Ross to the Rangers 1 year $6 million plus incentives. As a Twins fan, I sure would have liked to find out if he was healthy for $6 million...
  5. If there's one positive from 2016, it's that Betty White survived. She's a national treasure.
  6. Yes. Clearly this guy will never have an open mind about any of these players coming up for consideration. Revoke his privilege and move on.
  7. Let's hope old Billy is the next one to lose his privilege of being able to vote. He seems like a person who feels he has this other-worldly POWER and to make sure it's only used for good. God forbid society collapses because someone from the steroid era makes it in.
  8. It's articles like this that make me hate HOF voters. Bill Livingston from the Cleveland Plain Dealer wrote a grandstanding article and refuses to vote for anyone. "I'm not voting again until baseball decides what to do about the elephant in the room, the so-called steroid era. It was a confusing, controversial decade or so of rampant drug abuse, which has been ignored by the straw men in charge of the game. Clearly they, like many baseball writers, simply wish it would go away. But it won't." I don't know Bill, you're a grown man. Maybe you can make that decision for yourself. It shouldn't bother me so much, but I can't stand old, curmudgeon sports writers that make it about themselves instead of the players being elected into the HOF.
  9. Joey Bats re-signs with the Blue Jays. 1 year $18 million with 2 option years that could make it $60 million total.
  10. It could be a problem if you were using the Euros for yourself and your cat only!
  11. You could... but you can not answer any follow-up questions. Perhaps your wife will think you are working for Putin if that's the case.
  12. Today's Question: Mo' Money, Mo' Problems: At the Winter Meltdown, you meet Max Kepler's dad, where you two really hit it off. Because you two hit it off so well, he decides to give you 1 million Euros, cash. He gave you a couple of rules to follow in order to keep the money.... 1. You can not tell your family/spouse/significant other where it came from. You could be very vague and say "it's a secret" 2. You can't put the money in a bank. The money needs to stay in your house, and you can only take no more than 100 Euros at a time to exchange currency when you want to use it. How long would you last before your marriage/relationship fell apart?
  13. To answer the question from last week, I'd keep my people/sales skills, and also add better critical thinking skills. That way I could skyrocket to a CEO position by 30!
  14. As far as the next 2 years he's under contract, Mauer should start his transition to a platoon player next season. A good target should be 100-120 games played. In 2018, he could very well be a bench bat for the final year of the contract.
  15. Yeah Mauer will be a borderline case for the HOF when he gets there. I'm leaning towards him not getting in. When it's all said and done, he'll have as many replacement-level seasons at 1B than he has elite seasons catching.
  16. Concur with goulik. I think limiting the prospect pool would be helpful and generate more engagement. I'm sure the research and dedication that goulik and others do for prospects takes a lot of time. And let's be honest, there's probably not a lot of people clicking on the Logan Darnell thread. Perhaps have monthly updates on the top 30-ish prospects?
  17. Royals LHP Danny Duffy isn't going anywhere. He signed a 5 year, $65 million contract this afternoon to stay in KC until 2021. He will earn $5 million this year before a bump to $14 million in 2018. He will make $15.25 million each in 2019 and 2020 and $15.5 million in the final year of the deal.
  18. The finale was fine... Though it left me feeling if Sherlock ever was as good as I thought it was after season 1. Warts and all I'm going to miss this show.
  19. Luckily the Vikings came up with the incredibly successful e-pull tab idea to pay off most of the bill!
  20. The people of San Diego make me believe in humanity again. No more communities need to pay a significant portion of a new stadium.
  21. This thread has been okay so far. I've read several times on other threads "Kudos to Falvey & Levine for not caving in on making a trade" If I had a nickel for every time someone said "Kudos to TR for not caving in on making a trade" I may have 1 nickel.
  22. I've never seen a new regime get praised so much for doing nothing.
  23. Uh oh.... 3 amateur scientists are on to you Bark. New evidence suggests you may have been an engineer or plant manager at Boeing...
  24. Even at 25.... When you gotta go, ya gotta go.
