I miss Figgy

This thread makes me remember why don't post here much anymore.. the same dick heads posting the same shit..

That and the fact that the Angels suck year after year, and have ownership and a front office who can't seem to figure out how to get any better. 

The ball club is unwatchable, and the chat forum is unreadable...

Sigh..

MLB front office should be strongly encouraging him to get out of baseball

Look at the crappy team he's been throwing out there year after year after year..

Look at his many atrocious big name signings..

Arte has done nothing to prove himself a good owner of this franchise..

He should be run out of town

Started the Bridge on Hulu

It's the one that takes place in El Paso and Juarez

Weak acting through the first 2 episodes

Wanted to watch the Bridge on Amazon, Norwegian series, but it costs per show

I'm sure Lou can watch it

Stick with it...it gets really good.

Just finished S5 of The Americans

Another solid season

Looking forward to S6

watching the entire series a second time...with someone who hadn't seen it. She loves it...and I'm finding it just as good the second time around.

@Homebrewer how’s the snow?!!!

Snow skus.

I'm so over winter weather.

My plan right now is to spend next winter in South America...if the pandemic lets me.

Undergoing the vaccine regimen right now ( no fun) but know I will need it in order to travel internationaly.

I was referring to the fact that you picked 3 of the top 4 favorites and your "sleeper" was the 15th favorite to win.

Well...I didn't pick DJ or Lefty..so there's that....
and far as I know there's no extra points awarded for daring, unconventional, or bold picks

Way to go out on a limb. 

Hey! I made those picks before the thing started...you guys can all look at my Fantasy picks..

JT for the win..
Rahm, Xman, in close pursuit
Tony Finau as the sleeper.

Besides the Padres I've been following the Marlins, Tigers and Orioles of late. The White Sox are loaded as well, but they were more known going into the season.

These teams have some really good young players on these teams that have been really bad for some time.

Thank God for MLB TV.

 

White Sox are impressive...talk about an offense that can rake.

Speaking of which, who likes and dislikes the score adjustment before the start of the Tour Championship?

WTF? It's just another Tourney..I think it's confusing and unnecessary

This fanless horseracing has been pretty brutal for me..I've been the kiss of death to anything I've bet in the last month +.
Today was no exception.
Authentic (the speed) was a no-brainer toss for me. Thought Honor AP and Thousand Words would be the upsetters ...along with Enforceable. Thousand Words scratched in the paddock...and BB's assistant trainer broke his arm while he was at it..and the others all finished out of the money. Just a microcosm of my past few weeks. I thought I had the P4 nailed down pretty well. I had 1 of the 4 winners. 
I'm walking funny..
Done for a while ...thanks 2020.

I don't know how you were able to get onboard, but that was pretty fun to watch. I hope they'll let you on again some time. 

I dropped your name, hope that was OK..

forgot about this thread....here is something cool I saw yesterday.

Nice. I'll check it out. I was also at his debut game.

I liked the time they spent with Doug Rader talking about Jim..he seems like a pretty cool dude these days, someone that would be fun to have a beer with.

Set Apart: The Jim Abbott Story
So I notice on MLB.TV that because of the pandemic they have a new section of "premium" content, and decided to look through and see if anything interests me... and I find this gem.
I was at his debut game at the Big A.  
Met Jim in 1999 when he and Boras came into the bar I was working at in NB and had a beer. 
I had never seen this and it was pretty emotional for me...not sure where else it's available but it IS on MLB.TV
preview here..

PTBNL might be someone decent as well due to trades being limited to those within the 60-man player pool unless said player is a PTBNL.

Hmm Naughton wasn’t on the 60-man pool for the Reds it seems. Sort of weird that he’d be named already and the other player wouldn’t be. 

Which is it?

Conflicting information here...

He’ll fit right in

Minor league hard throwing funky angle TJ candidate...nice...I love Eppler.

I've been busy all day...just turned it on with DJ teeing off on 18...so glad I looked in!
(I had both DJ and Rahm on my fantasy team this weekend)
