$14M is a hell of a lot of money. And if the M's do the ssme thing next year? Oh damn, I guess he'll have to settle for ANOTHER $14M+ I don't see how this is a bad thing for him. No way he signs a 2-5 year contract for an AAV of $14M. Stay with Seattle for as long as they'll have you, make your money, then a couple years from now , if you really want some job security or to play for a contender, go that route. I can think of many situations far worse than playing in a great stadium, in a great city, and be paid extremely well to do it.

Lol Lawrence. There's a HB near my house (Lincoln and St College) where my family used to eat when I was a kid. They've got good desserts and all the baked chicken in the world. Last time I went there was probably in high school for lunch during water polo hell week. Granted at that point I could have devoured a buffet of boiled shoes, but I don't remember it being bad. Golden Corral on the other hand is 100% shit. My folks live in Cedar City, UT, and there's a GC down the road in St George that my dad had raved about for a couple years before i tried it. Comparing it to Walmart is a compliment. It's like the Goodwill store of sleaze-dining. Everybody 'dressed' in jean shorts and XXXL shirts, tripping over themselves to get their deep fried shrimp and overcooked gristle steaks. The place is a godsend for Mormon families though. The 23-year old couples can feed their 9 children on the cheap. Screaming children, old folks, and white (and black and brown) trash galore. Dirty floors, dirty tables , and a perpetual line out the door. NEVER AGAIN

Reagins was GM for four years. Dipoto has been GM for two. Do you really think he's going to get fired?

That is how you end a TV show. Walt goes super badass on the world and dies with a smile on his face.

That's it, I'm done with him. Up until this very moment I've thought otherwise, but goddammit dude. What the hell did you guys 'go after', huh? You rolled over like a bunch of pussies and let the Rangers walk all over you. One game. ONE GAME IS ALL YOU NEEDED TO WIN, out of four. **** you, Scioscia. Get somebody in here who can light a fire under this team's ass, and call a spade a spade. You played like dog shit. Own up to it, puss cake.

For the final time this year: F*CK THESE F*CKING LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Putting my nuts on a dresser and banging them with a spiked bat, like BLAAAAAHHH!!!!!

SHIT SANDWICH

Por ejemplo?

The joints aren't really that bad, but my goddamned spine kills in the morning and at night. Fingers crossed, it's a tempoary thing.

Recurring pain in back and joints. For a 26 year old, this is uncharted territory. Used to be a man could pop a couple asprin and pound a beer and be good to go. Now its multiple trips to the doc and recommendations for physical therapists. I swore I'd never get old. Where's my harikiri sword?

My dad grew up a Dodger fan in the Koufax/Drysdale days, and he used to laugh at his old man who would stay up listening to the Angels on the radio. My mom has been an Angel fan since god knows when. We still go to games with her old roommate of 30+ years ago who is a diehard Yankee fan that has a soft spot for our Halos. I was in the womb and at the stadium in 1986 for Donnie Moore's thing. During the 90's I was as big a fan as any boy can be who lives a mile or two away from the stadium. Since the advent of online message boards and our World Champoinship is where I've really become a diehard. Wearing the only Angel red of among a house of orange/black, green/gold, and the one half-assed Red Sox fan I lived with in college (05-09) wasn't easy. Continual playoff meltdowns might be harder to suffer than yearly mediocrity.

I'd love it if they put sushi back in. I remember as a kid, probably when it was still enclosed, the current chicken sandwich place just did sushi and probably other japanese food. It was bomb.

Word uppable. I really wanna keep the Rangers out of the playoffs. God how I want that.

Looks like you can upgrade your software to the full version now. Just don't run it overnight if you use your phone as an alarm clock. It's a little different, but I dig it. Anyone have trouble swiping up to access the control center from their home screen?

Earth Science major, sooooo fking glad I switched from history to a science. Way more marketable.

I'm thinking that Saul's question to Walt about "how much time he does he have left", as seen in the previews for next week, will cause him to make reconcilliation his highest priority. As for Jesse? He may well be able to bargain his way out of being killed. Walt's reason for wanting him killed was borne out of fear of him getting the two of them caught up by the feds. With that problem now 'solved', Jesse cooks for them for awhile, brings in the cash, and they possibly let him go. But then again, with only two episodes left, spanning only a couple months, something more dramatic may need to happen. Maybe Walt confesses, pinning the meth biz on the skinheads, then commits suicide via ricin, and his family and Jesse get away scot free. And Walr somehow sets his family up with that barrel of cash, pre suicide.

I triple dog DARE you to name one.

Recorders. Oh and you know who else rocked a Hammond Organ? Spinal Tap, that's who.

trollolololololol

Did anything ever come of this? Consider me pledged for one.

Two road trips where going to Houston adds lots of miles to the itenerary. Really wish they hadn't put the Astros in the ALW.

Noooooo! My dad bought his 74 Dodge truck, which I drove all through high school, from Worthington Dodge. Oddly enough, he also named his dog Spot.

This seriously pissed me off. They should have been obliterated!

I really like Romine's attitude. He also came up with Jimenez, which could translate into a strong left side of the infield (communication, overall defensive performance), and I like the fact that he's a little older. More experience, even if it's at the minor league level, is a plus for a guy who isn't going to be a long-term solution at the position. Aybar is super duper expendable. Great defense, average to below average offense, and an absolute dumbshit on the basepaths. Romine might bring 80-110% of what Aybar does, minus the bunting skills and decensive ceiling. At least the guy knows how to take a walk. For a position that isn't exactly a premium offensive one, I'm fine with seeing a guy like Romine take over, if trading Aybar gets us a #2/#3 or #4+reliever in return
