Remember that Callaspo GS off Felix?

The one where Anthony Swarzak took a no-hitter into the ninth against us and we lost 1-0 in 10 innings.

I only seem to remember about one third of an inning, out of that game

I hear his swing is kind of Quinlanesque. 

Im down with the "all you can drink" package too, but I hear they CAP you at 15 drinks per day and then cut you off
That will last a man till when, breakfast is over?

Going this weekend on the 3 day, from Long Beach to Ensanada.  This cruise ship has been described to me as the "Circus Circus Hotel of the Seas".
I have fake binoculars that are really a double flask, along with bladder bags to put inside the liners of the suitcase.  Many others in this bachelor party are using fake shampoo bottles, etc. 
 
Any tips, advice before we get on this thing?

I was at the Monte Carlo this week in Bakersfield and saw a burly outlaw biker playing Pokemon

I know some people are saying that we wont be competitive till 2018 and now is our chance to sell high, and pile up some draft picks for the next two seasons, but there's some historical reasons to look into this as well....
1.  He doesnt drink
One very handsome, smart, and talented AW.com member once asked him during a fanfest event, what is favorite beer was.  His response?
"I dont drink"  - Matt Shoemaker
- Know who else "didnt drink"?   How did that work out for us?
 
 
 
2.  He has a very black beard:

One Times Square, right in the middle of New York City in 1903.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One summer weekend a few years ago, me and the chicks who live next door decided to throw a "neighborhood BBQ" which constituted them making girly MS Word flyers and me knocking on 12 doors and me handing them out.
I have plenty of nerve so it was no problem for me going door to door saying what's up.  Every person who was home had at least a 5 min convo and some went  a while.   The invite process on Sat AM was a process on its own.
The fact that these flyers were obviously made by them lended credibility to my story that it was "us" throwing the party and I also mentioned that "all neighbors" were in (bluff).
All in all, maybe 10 for 12 had shown up making it maybe 18 people and most had talked and comingeled with each other.  
Nothing has happened since but everyone waves to each other and we all seem to have the occasional stop and chat when it calls for such.
 
 

I would say since he is Mexican, demand he build a wall around your property to keep him out.

you guys are welcome to believe whatever you like, but the fact is over his angel career he was 51-35 with a 3.87 era, and that includes his dogshit starts. that means he was pretty damn good frequently. the math can't lie, in this case. 
i'm not in love with wilson as an angel, and it's unfortunate that he's gone to shit healthwise this last year and a half to close out his career, but the narrative that he chose surgery for his contract rather than actual injury should be buried by anyone with a brain. the doctors aren't doing two surgeries on two major body parts because he's a bad teammate. this isn't helping his prospects.
he was exactly the guy they should have expected him to be. not dominant, but mostly better than average. that's what 75 million gets you.

IF we signed Beltre
We dont sign Wells We keep Napoli We probably win that division We probably keep Kendrys and not sign Pujols Michael Wacha was the comp pick for Pujols, but whatever The big surprise is that Beltre isnt sucking at the end of his contract

Is he preventing us from signing anyone of relevance in the future?  It was some fun in the midst of the not fun stuff.
This has got to be the strongest argument for "its not your money" that I have seen.  Some people just like to complain,

Ralston's lesser-talented cousin Halston Schmidt, circa 1977.

A Nother mistake.

Hope he's better than J.C. Romero.
