Frieri Meatball

Dipoto has no shot here. If what I'm hearing is true. 
The only thing that Dipoto is clinging to besides his charming personality (BS) is the Japanese nostalgia in Seattle. 
From what I learned today, we flexed our muscles in our meeting.

This drama is absolutely killing me. I think i've checked this thread about 300 times the last 2 days.

Just show him a picture of Trout and he'll have to sign.

Or kept in the system because most of them are 3 years away at least. 
Also this makes Calhoun expendable. I honestly expect him to get packaged for a starter now.

I don’t get the love affair with Moose, even though he’ll cost a lot more I’d much rather have Hosmer.
Eppler is a OBP guy and if he makes a big splash I think it’ll be for the left handed hitting, high OBP, 28 year old.
I don’t think Thiass or Cron is a good enough reason not to sign Hosmer. 

I'd rather eat a Double Double drenched in Stradling's diarrhea with a side of Animal fries that all the In N Out workers bukakke'd on than watch Ricky Nolasco throw another pitch wearing an Angels uniform.

Yeah I think when it comes to discussing "fair market value" you should probably just lay low. Maybe eat some chips and watch a movie. Masturbate. Just an all-around chill vibe.

Dipoto quitting was a blessing

He can still squat like an Asian taking a shit.

i want my amazon or wal mart gift card! @Chuckster70
seriously though is anyone else getting booted from the site because of this annoying ad? 
Feel free to delete the post 

From his first start at home against Baltimore to the very end, this dude battled every night.
Thank you Jered, it was a pleasure.
This is how we'll always remember the great Jered Weaver.
 

@Jason if they were good people they would have left the second they saw people with Nazi flags and KKK uniforms.
They marched with them so they are worthless piles of shit like the ones holding the flags.

It's official.  The POTUS is a nazi sympathizer.

After 2016 the dems should (I say should but I know it's not the truth) be able to run whomever they goddamned want to and if the republicans say anything negative the response should be "Trump is the republican president."  Anything negative you can say about any candidate on either side will have already been far surpassed by Trump, and he got elected.

So I had no emotion after watching that walk off GS.  I just want this ORG to finally do the right thing and mail this season in and trade as many guys as they can. I am fed up with our current group minus a couple of obvious guys.

If Arte gives Scioscia an extension I'm finished with this team. Really.
Cowart sitting...absurd.
 

2009. That was our year. 
I'm still hoping for Fuentes to break his arm.

I would assume if it was torn ligaments, he wouldn't have been able to move his hand, let alone play another inning.
Then again, given this team's history, he may require an entirely new liver.

As posted previously:
"
U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.
As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists."
Obama vetoed the mission initially but Trump, or whoever was advising him, thought it would be a great idea.
If Trump and company want to honor Navy Seals and their families, start with gathering good intel and initiating missions that have high probability of succeeding and of yielding valuable assets/information.   But, hey, at least his widow got a 2-minute standing "O" and his party got to buzz about how "Presidential" he looked for a couple of hours.  

Yeah, Trump wants the story to be about the leaks. It might work as a distraction to some folks (leaks happen in every Administration) but we shouldn't take our eyes off the ball, given all the recent developments. Our president picked a fight with the intelligence community. Difficult to say if they're responding in kind or bringing more awareness to the troubling relationship as you suggested. Either way, this is not good.
Interesting, I don't remember you complaining about any of the leaks during the Obama Administration, Mr. "I'm not a trump supporter."

From what I've read...of the seven on the list, Trump's companies do not have any business holdings in those countries, another thing they have in common...not a single American was killed on US Soil by citizens from those countries in the last 30+ years......countries that did not make the list, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and Turkey...Trump's companies either have business deals or potential deals in place.

Should also be noted...
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/us/politics/trump-syrian-refugees.html
In fact, the United States accepts tens of thousands of Christian refugees. According to the Pew Research Center, almost as many Christian refugees (37,521) were admitted as Muslim refugees (38,901) in the 2016 fiscal year.

He needs to be more libertarian with his pick.  I won't blame the dems for holding this up as long as they can after the crap the republicans pulled with Obama's nominee.  They reached a new level of douchebaggery.
