The Simpsons turn 25 years old today. If The Simpsons characters had aged in real time, Homer would be 62 years old, Marge 61, Bart 36, Lisa 34 and Maggie 26.

Miley thinks he was traded, at least in part, because he wasn't willing to be gluten free. http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/...ation/20509839/

So basically the US is going to replace the old USSR as its subsidizer.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 11:49 AM) Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't he be traded after January 11th as a PTBNL? The way I understood the rule was that a player couldn't be traded for one year after their initial signing date (July 11) and PTBNLs must be named within 6 months. If they traded him on January 12th as a PTBNL he could be name on July 12th which is more than a year after his signing date. A trade in the middle of January is still pretty feasible as it's still a month from Spring Training. Now in no way am I advocating trading Rodon as I don't think they should even explore the idea yet. This is true.

David Kaplan ‏@thekapman 3m3 minutes ago Gary Bettman just told us on @kapandhaugh that his rough guess is that the salary cap for 2015-16 will be 73 million dollars. Up 4 million.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 11:29 AM) I think we have the funds but not the young talent to give up. The Rays might want Rodon and tat is unacceptable. But, I would love a tradefor Longoria if possible Rodon can't be traded yet, even as a PTBNL

7 of the 11 top picks in the 2014 draft are currently injured.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 10:57 AM) Ah, I see one other person has joined me in the 42-47 bracket. The old fogies. For the record, I JUST turned 42 a few days ago. I am holding top the of the 41 bracket.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 10:29 AM) Yeah I think the Sox see more than 0 from Avi. More than offensively, I am hoping for a defensive leap for Garcia.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) I've always wanted to visit Cuba, now I need to make it happen ASAP. Once the American business interests get down there , I imagine it becoming a corporate tourist trap, losing most of its culture and charm quickly. The quickest way to ruin it, Americanize it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) Doh, I might have voted single with kid by mistake (supposed to be married with kid) Great, now the poll is ruined. Thanks Jenks.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) I married a woman that works at my company. It is a large company. We don't really interact with another. Hopefully you mean professionally, and not personally

Hell no.

I love the "I have ______ who are friends" line that would get most mocked.

Once they lost Jose Abreu, they couldn't handle it anymore.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 08:57 AM) How funny is your use of "you're"? Jimmy Butler is amused.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 09:12 AM) The Raiders are dysfunctional, but I don't think they are that far off from being a good team. I think their last draft has the chance to be a great one. The Bears have a ton of talent, especially offensively.

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 09:12 AM) If we're emptying the farm, I'd do it for Longoria over Myers. Absolutely.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 06:15 PM) Singletary is not head coach material. I don't think he is a HC ever again In case it wasn't clear, that was a joke with a 20% chance of fear that the Bears will do something really stupid,
