piranesi Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Is that what that is. I thought it was a clogged artery. Like they were the Westfield Stents or something. Which...I guess is related to bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newb82 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 John Kruk not understanding the new home plate rule and being pissy about what he thinks it is is both hilarious and sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I was looking over the list of non-roster invitees for the Mariners this year and saw the name Burt Reynolds. Imagine my disappointment when I found out it was some guy from the Dominican Republic and not THE Burt Reynolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I was looking over the list of non-roster invitees for the Mariners this year and saw the name Burt Reynolds. Imagine my disappointment when I found out it was some guy from the Dominican Republic and not THE Burt Reynolds. Oh yeah! Totally forgot about him. Rippa and I were totally confused about him years ago because: 1) he is from the Dominican with that name and 2) he is Robinson Cano's cousin. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/24379156/the-ms-signed-robinson-canos-cousin-and-his-name-is-burt-reynolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 And Rippa weeps - Longtime MLB starter Carl Pavano will end his comeback bid and retire, agent Dave Pepe tells MLBTR. The 38-year-old threw 1,788 2/3 innings over parts of 14 seasons, posting a career 4.39 ERA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 He robbed TWO home runs today, but after the 1st one, the 2nd looks a bit average. "Ho-hum, scaling a 10 foot wall and pulling back a home run." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yeah! Ted Lilly was hired by the Cubs to be a special assistant, presumably to fulfill the same role that Greg Maddux held for a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I know it was mentioned in the TV thread, but i love David Samson being the first person voted off on Survivor. If only someone had said they voted him off because they were from Montreal and he helped kill the Expos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It really is amazing. Javy Baez is making nearly everyone on the main roster look stupid. It sucks that Theo is going to keep Javy in AAA until he dominates the pitching there, but I get it. Hopefully he beats AAA into submission. And I've been paying a lot of attention to the Cubs in Spring Training this year and I'm starting to think that they had a sneaky good offseason. We'll see, but their starting pitching still isn't good or consistent enough to get the team over the .500 hump for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I may attempt to brave the "fucking shitshow" that is Cubs Park today. Pray for me. Are they not sold out? I know some people in Florida whoa always complain that the games are sold out way in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Cubs Park holds 13,000, which is more than every park in Florida. Today's game is the one over the next two weeks that *may* not be immediately sold out for lawn seats, so we're pushing out luck since the rest of the schedule today is... not good. And yeah Craig, it's supposed to be gorgeous... but it's brand new, and it's the Cubs, so getting in takes an act of god. I'm terrified about the hipsters and bros that are probably going to be populating the place. FWIW, I've been to five parks out here now (six games in total), and I'd argue that all are better across the board than their Florida counterparts. Cheap/free parking? Cheap/free tickets? Tons of craft beer options? (mostly). Unique concessions? It's like night and day compared to the Grapefruit League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
