How have I not seen that before? That is an awesome picture.

I love how it's 2015 and everyone is still arguing just good good/valuable Derrick really was in 2011.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 06:15 PM) Actually, if you lose that weight, you may enjoy wearing nice things more. I eat relatively well and I work out 3-4 times a year for most of the year. Part of the benefit of staying in that kind of shape is showing it off by wearing well-fitting clothes. If you google "How much should I spend on a suit," most publications/blogs will say it doesn't necessarily matter...what matters most is that the suit fits you like a glove. This is true, except with the caveat that the better quality suit, the better the chances of it fitting like a glove. For off the rack suits, the way the suit is constructed often is correlated with how much the tailor can alter it. It doesn't necessarily have to be very expensive for it to fit you well, but it helps if it is made to some minimum level of quality/materials. I know that when I got in better shape I really got a boost of confidence and that confidence was further increased by dressing well. Like I mentioned earlier, wearing a nice suit or even a really nicely fitting shirt can be your "armour." I feel like staying in good shape and dressing well is an investment in my career, to be honest. I'm sure most people don't think about clothes this way, but I've found it to be very true for me. I'm far from a fashion guy but I also started to buy and wear much nicer clothes when I got in better shape.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 12:39 PM) In all seriousness, with all of the lefties we have, plus Rodon on the way, he'd be a fool to sign with us because he'd have next to no chance at ever pitching in the majors for us. And no chance to pitch against us.

I love the Farmer and DJ pairing. It has nothing to do with baseball but they're so damn weird and awkward that they make me laugh when I listen to them. But like others have said, I guess that'd probably change if I listened to them a lot.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 03:03 PM) Will there be a trophy presentation? Yes.

Fastlane card actually looks pretty fun.

Rollins vs Ziggler for the rest of time please.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 01:31 PM) I am not sure if I am hungover or allergic to lobster but I am having a rough morning. I hope it's the former because I love lobster. Drink more. That's what I'm doing.

Heads is the worst person I know.

Every single one?

Whenever Hawk talks about Gordon Beckham just don't listen, that's my thought.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) Hire a new play-by-play guy Lol, YES!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) What the hell is their left to do? Sign A-Rod after he's DFA'd? Always the trade market. Seems unlikely this late in the game but you never know.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) This is what everyone says every year for the past 10. I was just going to say that. We have this discussion every year, just like the bubble is weak.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 06:15 AM) Anyone ever been to Zanies in Rosemont? Going to see Iliza Shlesinger in May. Went to the one in Vernon Hills once before it closed but was wondering what the lay out was like because she goes on at 9:30 but Richard Lewis is on at 7pm. So it is a separate room they clear out after he is done? Jeff Garlin is there as well a few weeks before but would rather see the hot girl. I obviously don't go out much. Wow isn't that like twice in 3 weeks going out for you? Are you going to be able to make it to 9:30?

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 10:34 AM) Houston Chronicle saying 1.5 mil if he makes the team. With Albers and Crain in the mix, Daniel Webb and Javy Guerra should probably feeling a little heat going to Glendale. There's definitely some competition for the last few bullpen spots and that's a good thing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 10:37 AM) 0.90 ERA last year Only 10 innings.

Another low risk signing that could be very beneficial. Why the hell not?

Party! Mardi Gras weekend!!

This Snell thing is becoming very interesting. I haven't been able to watch as many games as I'd like to so do we think he's actually turning into a real basketball player or is this just a hot stretch?

F'in good advice!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 12, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Kings made a really great hire in Karl. He has made the playoffs in 22 out of 25 seasons as a head coach in this league, including making the playoffs with all 5 teams he coached with. He really is a ridiculously good coach and it still amazes me that he has been out of the league this long (especially when you saw Denver struggle after he left). I haven't really looked into it but I'd assume his health issues had a lot to do with him not getting another job sooner.

About the best advice I've heard.

Very upsetting news.
