I'd definitely accept Flowers getting 300 bats if it means Buck gets zero at bats in a Sox uniform.

Just flip the calendar to May already. I'm sick of snow/fricking ice/frigid temps and they are going nowhere fast!

My teeth, roots, etc., don't hurt right now. I was referring to the need for drugs after going to the dentist in general.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 05:33 AM) And again, the Konerko signing gets in the way. If the Konerko signing helps us get rid of Gillaspie, good. I am not a fan. Of course I like Gillaspie WAY MORE than Kepp.

Eaton sounds like AJ II. I don't care about the players' personalities. I'm sure there are tons of rich assholes in the game of baseball. Who cares? If anybody doesn't like AJ or Eaton, who cares?? They are all in it for two reasons. 1.) the money. 2.) to a very very lesser degree the WS ring.

Drugs are definitely needed during dental procedures. Ouch.

Tell sleepy kids if they doze off Santa won't come next Christmas Eve.

Read the riot act to those who fall asleep before midnight.

Salami is on the menu at the NY Eve party tonight ... on crackers. Not delicious though.

Nuke the thread cause somebody screwed up on the last post.

Underwhelming is how I'd describe Cincy as a city.

Definitely think most cities in Ohio suck.

Wisconsin has Illinois envy.

Just don't talk about the weather at parties or on first dates. It is boring.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Dec 28, 2013 -> 04:35 PM) Wolf of Wall Street was fantastic. Only thing was that it probably could have been a half hour shorter. Dragged just a tad for me before the actual climax. Seems more like a 2.5 hour movie than a 3 hour movie. 3 hours? I will never again see a movie that goes past 2:10. 3 hour movie is ridiculous.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 28, 2013 -> 07:37 PM) Hahn's next step should be an extension for Ventura. No point of having him signed only through year one of the rebuild. He doesn't need an extension. He's not going anywhere else and he did a horrific job last year. Just let it all play out. We don't need to lock up Ventura.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 28, 2013 -> 05:00 AM) most would argue that with Leyland gone, the Tigers are more dangerous. He consistently made bad in game decisions, notably having the #2 hitter bunt to set up an intentional walk to the best hitter in baseball. Geez, tough crowd. I think "most" would say he was a great great manager and anything can happen in a short series.

Violins were playing in our church choir on Christmas Day.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Dec 28, 2013 -> 01:16 AM) I love the Konerko move. It makes great sense to put a vet like that and a consummate pro on the bench to help a bunch of young hitters adjust. Great move for the future. And Hahn's already stated that Dunn is going to fall in line. Nobody in the organization, apparently not even Dunn himself, wants that guy here. I hope he's gone, and I trust that the Sox will Linebrink him if they absolutely feel they have to - or maybe, they Andruw Jones him as the Dodgers did to get out of that deal. Right now Dunn is only taking a spot on the 40, but as it gets closer to ST, if he's still here, they're going to have to get thinking about letting him go. I think it's the same problem as last season. Sox can't dump him cause Jerry doesn't like paying for players who are on other teams. It's almost his unwritten policy. So Dunn is here until the final day of that contract mercilessly runs out. Or a team is willing to pay almost all of that deal and send us a couple low level prospects as well. Jerry isn't eating significant dollars on contracts.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Dec 28, 2013 -> 01:51 AM) If you go into next year with the mindset this team is going to be a contender I'm afraid you're going to be very disappointed. These moves were made for the future....not 2014. I have one question for you guys who think it's determined the team will stink in 2014 ... why do we have this playoff-ready pitching staff for a team going nowhere? Why didn't we spend some cash like the Yankees to upgrade maybe two more positions go with these dandy trades and win our s*** division right now?? With Leyland gone, the Tigers will be nothing to fear anymore. If this team is going nowhere FOR CERTAIN, then why not shut down Sale until we're ready to contend. Just don't even pitch him. I mean he's developed. Why waste one pitch out of that arm if it's 100 percent certain we're not winning anything next season?? Before you blast me, I think it's a legitimate question. Maybe even leave Danks on the shelf all year, too. And Quintana. He's also been stretched out enough that he's major league ready for contention.

I'd hate to see him stop right now. I hope he pulls the trigger on a major trade. I know we have some lineup upgrades already if Eaton opens in CF and the new third baseman as well to go with Garcia for a full year in right, but I'd like to see a huge trade involving multiple players. Surely somebody wants Beckham, a former first rounder and some of you insist DeAza and Viciedo have value as well. I'd like to trade one of them. How bout Beckham, Viciedo and a minor league pitching stud all in one package for some more good players? If our new 3B and Eaton aren't ready for the majors, our team is gonna resemble last year's team so much. I'd say 90 plus losses will be a certainty. I'm confident he'll make a good trade UNLESS our players have absolutely no value or trash value, which I guess, is possible. I believe in Rick Hahn, though.

Well, Anchorman II had some incredibly funny moments. I thought it was a great movie to see on Christmas night and I laughed out loud a few times and give it a thumbs up. I can see why some people would hate it for 2 hours but I would think that would have to be a Will Farrell hater. Very funny stuff IMO.

Jeopardy was on the TV at my mom's house too much over Christmas week. Kind of boring.

I hope the kid who killed four teens learned from this. It really would be a crime if he/she doesn't give a s*** about what happened. I know nothing about the case. That kid should be thankful every day he's not in jail and pretty much dedicate a lot of his life to charitable works. Certainly if he gets in trouble again, he'll be put away a long long time. I would think his car would have the breathalizer ignition system the rest of his life.
