It should have been really obvious that a few of these guys were on borrowed time.

Despite the claims otherwise, the package of work done the deadline screams payroll restrictions.

This crap is exactly why I quit going to Cubs/Sox games. The last one I went to was the Ray Durham winner in like 14 or 15 innings. There was two fights by where we were, and then it finished off with two women fighting after their boyfriends had spent the whole game s%*# talking each other. People can handle their alcohol, plus a rivalry equals not worth it.

Don't the Sox still have like half a million left in this year?

So he should be back for the open of 2028.

Wait, you don't even subscribe to your own newsletter? Dang.

Mom doesn't count.

Fair.

Don't ask Chuck D that question...

Back to Taskmaster, the latest season (21) is on the air and excellent so far as well. Kumail Nanjiani is the one person most of us would know who is on it.

Find a 3rd rate nursing home for her. That will teach her.

So far I have actually like the way ABS challenges have worked. They haven't materially slowed down the game, which was my primary worry.

Honestly, this is probably into the billions range. It is absurd to think this isn't about a ballpark.

Speaking of things that no one said...

Maybe not the 1st part, but the latter is exactly what is being said. 100%, no doubt about it.

He would know...

He would know...

Uh, are we reading the same thread?

And they say women are too emotional...

Castillo value was upside down because of his long term deal being worth more than he was. NOT taking on 10s of millions of extra dollars has a prospect value.

It is the contract that drags down the cost for Castillo. Picking up more of that sunk cost is where they would have saved.

We bought the Disney timeshare program (Disney Vacation Club) about 4 years ago. We have stayed at Riviera at WDW, and the Aluani resort in Hawaii so far. If you travel to Disney on a regular basis, it is a great deal and gets you ahead of everyone else for reservations. Man was it expensive though.

Even if you push the cost down from say Boston Smith to someone in the mid to late 20's, that's something.

And if it serves my memory right, the Cubs picked up his contract, no? This is exactly what I am talking about.
