Ya but Tony Batista had a cool stance.

Ya this is f***in stupid.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 02:58 PM) If the D-backs are really trying to do a one diet fits all players, that is awful. Professionals should know better. It's a black eye to our profession. That'd be so insanely stupid if they're doing that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 04:05 PM) Unlike most, I have very low expectations of those 3. Does anyone here have high expectations for any of those guys this year? I think Micah will probably be the guy but I'd personally be real happy with giving the job to Sanchez and letting him suck at the plate as long as he provides an above average glove which I think he can do at 2b.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 04:04 PM) 10 years ago there was so much offense that people wouldn't care that much about a guy who hits 25 home runs but under .250 with a sub.750 OPS in his best year. Beat me to it.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) Man, if the sabes didnt exist it would have been so easy to trade Tank for something good! I bet 10 years ago you could have gotten a nice return for a guy like him. I know what you mean but 10 years ago 20 homers was nothing and that's all Dayan offers.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) Only one person has marked as being older than me (48-53 group) . I didn't realize I was that old for this group. You're just one of the few who will admit it.

I honestly have no expectations for Avi, good or bad. No idea what to expect out of him in 2015.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) I'm a little surprised no one has voted that is under the age of 23. It's crazy because that's the age range a ton of us were when this site started... But I know it's early in the day - maybe they are all still asleep. Edit: Looks like it took 26 votes to get someone in that age range. It's kind of crazy how many of us came to the site at almost the exact same time and all around the same age.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 06:54 PM) No I don't. And people view Sox championship with an asterisk because of AJ and the rest of the league must have been terrible because White Sox won. If you are looking for legitimacy, you shouldn't have chosen the White Sox. Shouldn't have chosen baseball.

I never knew how much I wanted to live close to work until it happened. It's seriously the best thing. Congrats iwritecode!

Dick Van Dyke is on Conan tonight, dude looks like he's in his 50's. Crazy.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 10:04 PM) The Interview may get postponed due to threats from hackers. So dumb.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:44 PM) Does Tom Crean have some NFLconnections I don't know about? Brother in law with the Harbaugh's.

Ya that's too bad. Chicago is bad for your knees apparently.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) But what if the girl is hot? Well then go for it.

Quick work "relationship" story that I had to deal with a few weeks back: One of the girls I work with decided to have an affair with one of the members at our club who happens to be married. She called me up crying her eyes out after he broke it off with her because she thought he was going to tell our managers and get her fired. So ya, don't have affairs with customers at your job, bad idea.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) General rule of thumb is to stay away from work relationships, right? Not if the girl is hot.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 07:53 PM) Sounds like this Mariners move may be in the next 2-3 days. I really don't care too much now that the Sox outfield is set. Viciedo will be gone sooner or later. Agreed. I'm just intrigued to see if we get anything for him.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 07:41 PM) This is funny https://twitter.com/TheMelkman53/status/545030565494525953 I want that hoodie.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) Let's be real here, would you work under this doofus knowing full well how dysfunctional that organization is? And yes, I know the Bears are currently dysfunctional, but JESUS LOOK AT THAT MANS HAIR What the hell is that thing?

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 06:36 PM) Lana is hot

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) But 20 of them? I just don't get the draw. Well that's cause you don't like anything.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) Ken Gurnick ‏@kengurnick 45m45 minutes ago Brian Wilson DFA. Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 35m35 minutes ago Brian Wilson is making $9.5M next season, meaning he'll likely clear waivers and hit free agency. Team could then have him on major-lg min. I'd be cool taking a shot on him if it doesn't cost us much.

Hawk and AJP in the booth together would be disgusting. And I think AJ could be a very good broadcaster but I don't need to hear Hawk kiss his ass for 162 games.
