  1. As you can see from my post total, I mostly lurk, but I spend a ton of time on this site. Site looks amazing and already runs waaaaay better in mobile. Thanks for continuing to run and support the best Sox site on the internet. šŸ»
  2. Yeah I do not get the Piastri/McLaren thing either. McLaren is going in the wrong direction and he will clearly play second fiddle to Norris, so it has to just be a pure money move. There does seem to be smoke around Schumacher getting cut off the raft, as rumor is his contract is up and Haas is taking a wait and see approach. I personally hope they give him another year because he is a fun story, and you almost just ignore last year with how bad that car was and how dysfunctional the team seemed to be with the Mazepins. If that seat does open up, Haas and Danny Ric do seem like a good match. I always wonder if they end up going the pay driver route though, because it seems like Gene Haas waffles on how much money he actually wants to light on fire year to year.
  3. One week of summer break and lots of craziness in the driver market. Alonso going to Aston is just LOOOOL, him and Stroll as teammates is going to be a dream for DTS. Certainly looks like Ricciardo is done at McLaren, although with all the drama around Piastri so far I will believe that is a done deal when it is a done deal. If that is the case, Daniel either goes back to Renault/Alpine, or becomes the ultimate back marker at Williams.
  4. That Zhou crash was really scary. You can see from the live feed someoneā€™s car just flying upside down in the background, really glad he walked away from that. This was one that was definitely worth waiting through the red flag on, amazing action after that last yellow. Super excited for Sainz first win and my guy Mick getting his first points!!! Double points for Haas for the first time in a looooong time.
  5. Your seats look good bmags #jealous Overall some curveballs, but Max is just too dominant. Would like to have seen what Charles could do behind him after that restart as opposed to Sainz, who just couldnā€™t close the gap enough. Nice race for Mercedes overall, and at this point Iā€™m just convinced Mick is just cursed šŸ˜¢
  6. bmags itā€™s your weekend! Are you doing all three days?
  7. Albon clearly had talent in that season and a half he did in the Red Bull, but the way that team runs just eats up any young guy that is not a cyborg (Max). Unless Aston can make some real improvements I wouldn't be surprised to see Vettel hang it up, he doesn't need to put up with that nonsense anymore. If I am Mclaren Ricciardo has to get a really long look, he has been just horrible for them outside of his fluke Monza win last year. I also wonder if there is a possibility of Hamilton riding into the sunset if there is no path to Mercedes being a title contender next year. He is also a guy that looks really frustrated and at this point if he isn't going to get that 8th drivers title there is probably little incentive for him to hang out with a mid-pack car.
  8. Haas had some terrible luck yesterday, with both cars taking damage after that safety car. Feel terrible for Mick, who should have had his first points in this one. Also amazing what Albon is able to do in that horrible Williams car. The pace he gets out of that thing on race day is incredible. They really need to put Latifi on a rocket and fire him into the sun.
  9. Good friends of ours live in the Austin area, so at least the hotel part of COTA wouldn't be an issue for me. I thought about Montreal, might eye that up for next year if the first run tickets aren't crazy expensive. Would love to hear what your experience is like up there in June.
  10. The straights look Monza-esque, visually the whole race will be stunning. Hoping that between with Miami and Vegas now on the calendar that maybe the Austin demand will fall a bit so the tickets are a little more affordable. Miami is already at Super Bowl prices and I can't even imagine what Vegas tickets will cost next year.
  11. ā€œThe White Soxā€™ deal with Robert is similar in situation to fellow Cuban Eloy JimĆ©nez, who also signed a slightly cheaper six-year deal with two team options before ever making a major league plate appearance.ā€ Well researched article here, considering Eloy is Dominican šŸ™„
  12. QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 11, 2016 -> 09:59 PM) The walk hasn't been an "advanced stat" in like 100 years, but thanks for playing. Who said anything about stats?
  13. QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 10:40 PM) You forgot the IN THE DRAFT part. It is critical we find talent in the field IN THE DRAFT. Tim Anderson is a good start (although he walks less than Bran Stark). That needs to happen ALL THE TIME. How are you not on TV with this sick combination of advanced baseball knowledge, snarky jokes, and ability to always keep it real and not be one of those yucky "fans"? Hope you got a Costco membership, bulk buying Jergens is in your best interests financially at the rate you're burning through it every time someone says the C word.
