QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) Went there for a day in October, it was pretty cool. If you are looking for another good trip of about the same distance, check out Cumberland Falls during a full moon, and stay in one of their cabins on sight.

Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 9m9 minutes ago Jim Johnson gets $1.6M base salary from #braves plus a potential $900,000 in performance bonuses, a source says.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 12:40 PM) Super Bowl is far and away #1. Other things on the list: World Cup Final Rose Bowl Masters Summer Olympics - either basketball final or 100m final Winter Olympics - either hockey final or curling final also great calls.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 12:31 PM) While we (im)patiently wait for the Winter Meetings and something exciting to happen, I've appreciated the threads that have been started over the past few days: Hamburgers, Songs About Women, etc. So, I figured I would contribute to the distraction. What is on your bucket list for sports? What stadiums would you like to visit? What sport would you love to see live? Any player(s) you'd like to meet? Being a huge baseball fan, I'd love to see a game in every park. My wife, kids, and I all love baseball, and we've started adding a ballgame to our vacation each year. Last year we caught an Indians game. Next year we'll be visiting Mammoth Caves and Louisville, so we're going to swing by Cincinnati on the way home and catch a Reds game. There are a couple parks that are high on my list though: Fenway Park and PNC Park. Otherwise, just about at the top of my list is getting to see a Steelers game at Heinz Field. I'm originally from Pittsburgh and a die hard Steelers fan. I will get to a game...hopefully soon. Getting there is easy. Getting tickets will cost a bit, but it'll be worth it. Great trip with kids, just be ready for a couple of hours of walking for the good tours. Also there are a ton of other caves in the area. My favorite so far was Lost River Cave in Elizabethtown.

Top of my list is a World Series game.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 10:24 AM) It looked to me like Kirk fouled him on the floor. I'm actually very surprised they didn't at least look at it to make sure he was shooting. I assume that's reviewable at the end of the game, but maybe not. That would be a judgement call, so I doubt it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 10:36 AM) I think I would burn the house down if that happened to me. Step #1: Don't move to Texas.

For all of the Aca-b****es out there... Featuring Indiana's own Straight No Chaser, "Text Me Merry Christmas". Nice work as always.

Um, no one cares.

Quit listening to your wife.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 09:32 AM) Yea I think Surkamp is best choice as the second lefty but I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on the guy to see if he can make the decision tough in ST. I would be shocked if they didn't bring in another cheap lefty, I just don't see them signing someone who makes a decent paycheck for the role.

Now don't touch me there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 09:19 AM) I'd say absolutely yes (although I'm expecting it to be closer to $5 million a year extra with an additional year or two tacked on at the end). Over the last 4 years, Lester's averaged out to be a 4 WAR pitcher. Over the last 3, Samardzija has averaged out to be a 3 WAR pitcher. Lester has a better track record before that. Lester has more innings on his arm but is only 1 year older. Samardzija's best season would be Lester's 6th best season. I was using a basis of a 6/105 for Valpo boy and a 6/150 for Lester.
