I'm guessing Marsh and/or Matt Thaiss and one of Sandoval/Suarez and then one of Jordyn Adams/Jeremiah Jackson/Wilson

Since the Cubs are competing now, and are looking for more balance in the lineup, I'm assuming they will want at least one ML ready guy in any package for Willson. Would any of these guys fit that bill? 

I'm wondering if the fact this team had a starter die from an OD, and the origination being under investigation, is going to turn possible FA's away from coming here. Will that make players think twice, even if the money is comparable?   

That, and the long playoff drought, have to enter the minds of top players considering signing with this organization.

The Irishman (netflix) Pesci, DeNiro, Pacino.

The movie itself was OK...Maybe a C+..but what struck me was the fact that all the main characters in the real story, were portrayed by actors that were 20 years older than they were at the time.

Hoffa was 62 when he disappeared and Pacino is nearly 80 (and he looks even older than that)

I had a hard time with the whole movie because of it.

Cant believe UNI wasn't the heavy favorite in the mile..guess people didnt see this race..

(she's the 4 here)

Oh, now you give your key picks.  After I lose my shirt.  What a brutal day at the otb.  

I didnt cash a ticket on Friday, so I didnt dare give out any "picks" ...luckily i only caught the last 3 races and was playing conservatively while trying to knock off the rust. I wasn't going to play at all Saturday but my GF had to work so I figured WTF , I'll try one race..wound up hitting 3 in a row and had enough to play some verticals and hit them too..   

I started with $20 today..my final balance is $606.75...along with a few trifectas..I hit a pick 3 and the late pick 4.

Vino Rosso, Blue Prize and Mitole were my key picks of the day

Up 266 and alive in the P4 to the 6-8-10-11

Mine is coming up just after the first of the year. I enroll in Medicare this month.

I never expected to be this old.

If I knew I was going to get this old....I would have taken better care of myself!

Damn...who's the bombshell in Cashman's suite?

This game is probably going to go 5 hours 

Thats OK by me...gonna be a long cold winner

It's going to happen someday..a guy starting a "bullpen" game throws a complete game...probably not today.

No kidding Capt. Obvious.

My comment is about the status of baseball today. Not a fan of openers and bullpen games.

It's an observation separate and apart from the Angels' own situation.

This is just something that is so new to most of us..a different way of thinking and using your assets. I dont see it as weakness at all... a big adjustment for those of us that have been baseball fans for many years.
Nothing "pathetic" about it.. 

Wow...7 pitches.

Implying that they now understand and admit that it was Joe that led them to the first ,and only, World Series Championship.

Nice try, but Maddon wasn't 1 of the 3 you listed. 

I didnt list anyone...someone else did.
Try to follow along here.

Scioscia has as many World Series titles as those 3 combined

Post season wins ..
With Joe Maddon 11-5 (and a WS win)
Without Joe Maddon 10 -21 
Hmmmmmm.

I'm reading that the Phillies are interviewing candidates for their open manager spot.

Showalter
Girardi
Dusty Baker

why not Scioscia? I read previously he was interested in managing the Phillies.

 

They probably looked at Sosh's post season record.

I completely agree. Almost reminds me of, who was it... Grady Little... leaving Pedro in when he had clearly lost it years ago. I don’t think any of Roberts moves were that egregious but collectively just as damaging. Hard to want to axe a guy for a few bad calls but damn, I almost feel like his head was already in the next series.

Dumbsty Baker in the Bartman inning
