QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) I know the tires are most likely part of the issue but the AWD sucks, and that starter, I dont feel comfortable letting my wife out in the cold in her car with that thing. I make her drive my JGC. I'm look pretty heavily at the Cherokee, Escape, Volvo, and maybe the hyundai. Our tires only have like 15k miles on them. I bought new ones after the sliding problems too thinking that was the issue. Seriously, I would rather use my Impala in the snow.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) 2013 I think, maybe 2012. The engine is just sub par to me, like they threw in a civic engine. I know the drive train is for the Accord, so maybe they threw in the Accord 4 cylinder engine too.

We are working on a pricing structure for one of our software systems that we are going to strip all of the extras off of it, and sell it at about half price as a basic program. I am looking for a name other than "Lite/Light" to call it... Any ideas?

Oh and Kevin Love cares.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 01:42 PM) I like Farmer and DJ but I know I'm the minority here, and I also recognize it's because I don't listen to the radio broadcast often. I love DJ, but it is such an awkward pairing. They get into these weird discussions, and then Farmer will just quit talking. They either really hate each other, or they have some sort of weird inside joke thing they do way too often.

My friends in Cleveland love him.

King James said I don't have to.

I forgot.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 12:40 PM) Really, you're certain this team can't win 90 games? I wouldn't say "certain", but I would put it out there around a second standard deviation possibility.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 11:37 AM) Seriously, why don't the Sox just sign him and stash him in AAA so we won't get our annual 2-3 losses against him? 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.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 12:33 PM) My wife wanted one so bad and we got it loaded up and the price was way too high for what we got and I hate driving it. The thing barely starts, sucks in the snow and is slow as hell. Why do people want this car so badly>? Agreed. I HATE its winter starting. Even with a brand new battery last year, it never feels like it is going to start when we get under say 10 degrees. It slides a lot in snow, even with the all wheel drive. Part of their point was how good gas mileage was, and even that isn't great. My 6 cylinder 2004 Impala still blows it away in gas mileage even though the CRV is only a 4 banger.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) Agreed. I liked him though as color man to Rooney (who is obviously as good as they come and can cover for a weaker partner), but he is just not suited to carry the PBP load. When Rooney when to St Louis, two things became really obvious. #1 how good Rooney is. #2 how bad Farmer is.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 12:01 PM) 100% agree. Dont stretch payments/cost of a car because you "think" you can handle it. The things is depreciating as you sit there, get what you can afford for the best price and enjoy. Its actually good timing as I am about to trade in my wife's leased CRV early for another vehicle so I can report on the interactions as this happens. Ending a lease early is a daunting task in itself but I f***ing hate driving that car and I want to get rid of it. I can't wait to get rid of my wife's CRV either.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 12:19 PM) That's the kicker. Why would you put your hot hitter in against someone he struggles against? Why would you want to ruin the rhythm or confidence he's currently riding by an 0-4 game? And on the converse side, I don't care who is hot in front of him, or how cold he isn't, I wouldn't have missed a chance to put Ron Kittle out there against Bert Blyleven.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 12:15 PM) My biggest pet peeve with Farmer is his penchant to call a strike out with a generic "he got him" or "strike three" without specifying whether it was called or swinging. He did that all the time when he took over PBP from Rooney, and while he doesn't do it as much anymore, he still does it once in awhile and that drives me crazy. To me, that's unacceptable for a radio announcer. Just describe what happened; don't let the listener have to assume. Not only do I feel like not only is he a bad radio guy, I think he personality is moody and surly. It comes off awful on radio. The awkward silences combine with the inane negative rants. blah.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 11:12 AM) I agree with you, but not because the manager may know better when a streak is going to last. Instead, I'd argue that the things a manager sees that the statistics CAN'T see are related to adjustments and developments that cause changes in true talent. A streak is can be "real" when a player has legitimately improved, but the stats won't get that because they would treat it as a random streak for a long time until it happened enough for it to affect the career results. And by then, we'd already know the guy deserved more playing time, and so they wouldn't help us at all. Also, the manager will know when he should throw Leury out there just to keep him fresh/sharp/mentally stable, even if it means he's a bit less likely to get a hit than the starter he would replace that day. Take a guy like Paul Konerko. I don't care how hot he was, I wouldn't send him out there against Tim Wakefield. Not only couldn't he hit the guy, it seems like every time he tried, he ended up in a two week slump afterwards.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) I hope you arent referring to Farmer, because he is as over the top as they come I really don't like Ed Farmer at all.

In these cases, I am going to trust my managers perception to understand why a player is hot, do the match ups work, is there a history with a players, are there signs that they need to keep playing etc, versus putting myself into either the extreme of always starting a hot player, or going fully by statistics.

Exactly.
