Good luck to Mark. I wouldn't have minded him going to Nationals, they look like an up and coming team. The Marlins seem like lottery winners just spending freely. Reminiscent of the 1997 version. Anyway, by no means am I mad or will be mad at Buerhle. I haven't been this upset about a player leaving since Robin. It was weird to see Robin and Frank in different unis. I'll have to get used to it for Buehrle. Especially in those hideous Marlin ones.

At my family's house. Bringing the mother-in-law, too.

It was Cowley...

I have no doubt that the Tigers would have gone that far without Verlander. Simply put, he was their MVP. Good call.

It's amazing how the opinion of him has changed.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Nov 14, 2011 -> 01:01 AM) Thanks to this thread I have gotten into Breaking Bad and Homeland over the past few weeks. Both are really good. Me too. Homeland is amazing. I'm going to start Breaking Bad soon on Netflix.

I've read writers that praise the hire. Same ones who didn't like the Ventura hiring. Same managing "experience." Don't get it.

I'll make the first All in for 2012 post

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 4, 2011 -> 03:05 AM) Anyone else listened to the new Coldplay album? Certainly not as good as some of their past work, Don't Let It Break Your Heart is one of their catchiest tunes they've done in a while though. I was listening to it online last night. Strange combo of them w/Rihanna, too. All in all, pretty decent album.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) Rosenthal reporting that Sandberg has been granted permission to interview with St. Louis. That would be funny. Even funnier if Cubs go with Dave Martinez...

I can't wait for the first "Fire Manto" thread.

Would not mind taking a flyer on Grady Sizemore. Too bad there's some guy named Rios in the way.

Well, this should be a fun year

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Oct 27, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) He was, in many ways, the Alex Rios of his time. Unfortunately. Didn't he run back to get his hat that flew off, before getting the ball? Or am I thinking of Jorge Orta?

watch the Braves lead the league in hitting next year. LOL.

This Reinsdorf loyalty is getting a bit out of hand. Here is the Sun-Times article:

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 07:12 AM) This will be the 4th World Series of the last 7 that will be played with no teams from either Eastern Division. Good. F*** ESPN. If I had to choose a team to root for, I'd choose Texas, just because they've never won it before. If Cards win, I'd be happy too. A great way for Pujols to possibly end his Cards career.

I genuinely enjoyed watching the beatdown that Detroit received. It was beautiful to watch.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 16, 2011 -> 12:38 PM) Are you kidding? He ought to have an endorsement contract. Just deliver about a 24 pack to the booth every game. He'll definitely need them next season..

The only reaction I've heard from my Cub fan friends is that "he's cute". Ok then.

Ventura says he's overjoyed to wear Sox uni again. Coaching staff has not been finalized. Still sorting it through.

Milwaukee v. Texas in WS. One of these teams would win their first WS. Which would be another team winning one before the Cubs won their last.
