I forgot about Carrasco. Is he still alive with an arm?

Scott Carrol continues to be my favorite longman out of the pen. He is our best long man since Sean Lowe. Best player. -Carrol4Life

I'll be there. I hope we win. 3-0 so far.

Anyone have any college senior favorites for rounds 10+? I'd like to follow Reggie McClain from Mizzou in the minors. I'm interested to see where Ryan Howard goes as well.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) I thought i remembered reading that if Turner comes up, he is either here to stay or will have to be DFA if they dont like what he gives them, they cant just send him back down. Is that correct? That sounds right, but haven't they already successfully passed him through waivers to put him in Charlotte?

He was hilarious in Hail Caesar.

I only see us being saved by Gonzalez. Turner seems like a long shot.

Good god, that's like a storyline out of nip/tuck.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 6, 2016 -> 10:35 AM) That is the position he should've been drafted to play in from Day 1. Putting him at DE was incomprehensibly stupid. Brian Urlacher would have been trash if you put him at DE, too. I would have imagined him as a 3-4 OLB, but yes, 4-3 defensive end was hilarious. Not the right body type or skills.

I don't know if it will last, but we really were in need of a Avi hot streak. When he's on he's on.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 6, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) Its been an adjustment in getting used to the fact that we have coaches that actually can develop guys. The knee jerk reactions with Floyd because people don't factor the development aspect of it when we had so many years of guys that just didnt do much of that. They want a polished talent that wouldnt require development. Floyd is only going to get better and better and better after Fangio and Fox start working in his head and on his body. He will probably be 25 pounds heavier by October. Fangio took Shea McLellin and moved him to ILB, and made him look good enough that he is still in the NFL. Which I did NOT see.

Actually here's the one bit of advice I'll give: I think you are right on to be looking at beaches/resort areas. You are going to be exhausted. We were very glad we did not choose a place where sightseeing was the main attraction instead of just lounging around.

Cruises can be a little too public for me. We went to Curacao on our honeymoon and had fun, they have a very cute downtown that looks like the netherlands. That was late April, hot, but plenty of shade at the places we went. Food was pretty terrible everywhere, as they have like, zero local resources and it all comes from Venezuela. We had a vacation last year to Tulum in Mexico with the opening of Southwest flights to Cancun. We rented a car and its like one road you drive on for 2.5 hrs. Stayed at a bed and breakfast that was actually owned by the couple that opened the Matchbox and Silver Palm. That was our favorite vacation. Intimate as you want, lots of great food and drinks. Lots of beach clubs where even if you were not at a beach hotel you can go there and get towels/drinks. It will be fun no matter what you do though. It's a wonderful slice of time.

Now that draft is over I basically just seek out opinions that validate the Bears are gonna be gr8. McShay on his podcast said Bears and Ravens had the best draft, and said Floyd could be DROY. So, superbowl. I am trying to get in the mindset that we may have coaches who can develop raw talent. Lovie was a good defensive coach, but the fact that our pro scouting was so much better than amateur leads me to believe he was better at refining fairly finished products.

I wonder if we have actually made any reforms which are better at protecting children today from predators, or if in 30 years, the then-adult victims will break our hearts again that we left them so vulnerable and trusted and revered the predators.

Again, only white sox get this s*** ROUTINELY by home calls and replay

I'm going with the sox are always screwed in these situations and this is no different

Are catchers allowed to block plate again?

Replay

Fans are great tonight

I haven't had this much nerves from a game in a while. Hoping for #wildpitchoffense

Okay. This is going to be one of those games I can't bear to watch
