    Nice work! I've lost 30-35 pounds twice...the second time it stuck for much longer but it's been creeping back on again. My problem is more about portion size than what I eat. Moderation works for me. In the last year moderation went out the window, my hours at work skyrocketed, my dog died so I was exercising less. Now I'm working my way back down again.

    I could do the high carb part, it's the low protein part that would be trouble.

    Game is slated to start at 7:40 last I saw.

    Its the "just right" amount of off though.

    I think they turned it off and then back on again. Of course, that was after double checking that it was plugged in.

    Like Mike, as was I. If this were July and not the end of May, I'd sell now too. Still time to get things sorted out, but this team seems pretty dead in the water. I'm still pretty confident that Cleveland will find their groove and run away with things.

    So this confirms that your wife doesn't have a TD account?

    Not only that, but it's a team that's nationally televised on a seemingly daily basis.

    Honest question since I haven't watched or read all of the interviews with Buxton; does anyone actually ask him about hitting? If the interviewer is focusing on his glove, why would Buxton talk about hitting? That would be off topic. Clearly he's a premier glove and that is definitely something to discuss. His ability in the field is something fewer players possess. If the only question that hints at hitting is what he likes better, I'm not sure why he'd talk about hitting at all. I don't know how a conclusion of any relevance could be derived from that. It is likely true that if he were hitting he'd be asked about it more. I don't know how much he was asked about it during the second half of last season when he was on fire.

    It can be used at night as long as there's a moon. Plus, the sun comes back up in the morning. All you have to do is mark the time that he started and it'll still work!

    Rookie mistake. Sundial is the way to go.

    Good recovery by Gibson there. That could have been worse.

    My brain immediately took me to that commercial where the left out guy says, "I like tacos!". I think it was a cell phone carrier commercial or something. That seems applicable here.

    Rule #1 of Fake Sick Club: You will not talk about Fake Sick Club. Rule #2 of Fake Sick Club: You will not do anything to draw attention to the fact that you're a member of Fake Sick Club.

    You understand that now that you've thoroughly documented your best excuses to blow off work that you can no longer use any of those should you ever actually want a good excuse to blow off work, right? I'm just going to assume that your powers that be read TD on a daily basis. I've called in sick once in my entire life. I was in high school. My girlfriend and a couple of my friends wanted to go to the lake and I wanted to go with them, but I was scheduled to work that afternoon. I felt so guilty about it that I didn't enjoy myself at all and haven't done it since. I actually used Excuse #1.

    I'd tell ya, but you'd just claim that I shot first.

    It does sound a bit better than, "We're flyover country!"

    Rosario fails in his audition to become the next Kool-Aid Man.
  19. wsnydes
    Speaking of the French, Ryan LaMarre was recalled to fill Hughes' spot on the active roster.
  20. wsnydes
    I see that Rosario has been working on his urban free climbing.

    You bring up some fair points. And you're right, long overdue is probably too strong. For me, I guess that I'd point to the lack of use as being the reason to jettison $20M. If you're going to pay him $20M one way or another, I'll take that extra roster spot and use it for someone that can play and that the manager will use. They activated him to the active roster knowing what he brought to the table. He struggled in ST and I don't recall his extended ST outings being all that impressive (from box scores admittedly), so it should not have been a surprise that he struggled at the MLB level. I can appreciate that the team allowed him to try to get back. I actually don't even fault them for it without even considering the money. For Hughes, I admire the fortitude, will and desire that it takes to keep trying like that. I feel for the guy, I really do.

    Interesting. I was under the impression that we got to see the same views they were watching. That's good to know though. It makes seemingly blown calls more understandable. I was at the game and they showed three different angles I believe. One clearly showed that Kepler's front foot didn't touch the plate. Another showed that his back shin did. Another showed when the tag was applied. None of them showed definitively how that timing worked. I don't know if the TV coverage had more angles or not. That would seem to be a flaw in the system though. If the idea is to get the calls right, would it not make sense that the fans watching get to see the views that make those types of calls correct? It's kind of like the adage about a tree falling in the forest, does anyone hear it? In this case, if the correct call was made but the fans don't understand or see what makes it correct, is it really correct? Thanks for the insight. That helps clear some things up for me.

    This move was long overdue. Glad that the cord has finally been cut. That said, I wish Hughes well in the future wherever or whatever he ends up doing.
  24. wsnydes
    I do feel that he was out, but with the replay views shown I have no idea how they overturned the call on the field. Nothing was definitive enough in my view.
  25. wsnydes
    I don't necessarily disagree with this, but if he's out they run themselves out of a potentially bigger inning.
