This is why I had some of the best or worst stories on the older boards.

Do you look your boyfriend in the eyes when he goes down on you?

The 3am where do you like to drink post. Nicely done, sir.
 
Is that same chick, Jaime, still working there?

The Anna Kendrick thing is just weird. She isn't hot, just cute...but that "I think I would have a shot" kind of cute. I think the other part is just the characters she plays. Just makes have this fun to hangout with type of chick.

Nice, you drink in the shower as well

Remove my video cam from tdawg's house.

Masturbate, eat, drink, masturbate, go to the bathroom, sleep.
Masturbate.

I'm actually enjoying Vin Scully. Dropping many gems this evening.

Alcohol

Nice dude. I lost a some good parts of the mid-section when I cut out alcohol and fast food.
I'm with you on the early bed. We were done by 7 or 8.

It's just a publicity stunt for his new pizza restuarant, Lil Seizures.

Great news for the AFC West.

Sorry to hear Chuck. Maybe one day you'll be as cool as me and get Boyz II Men concert series ads.

Rewatching the 1st season of The Wire

Not quite sure how the greatest tv show is overrated, especially since it was underrated the whole time it was on HBO.

Problem resolved Brandon! 

Sounds good. Thanks Chuck.

Nice.
 
I worked at a sandwich place in a mall in high school. My favorite moment was I was working alone up front and had this older guy comes up. I ring him up, drop his fries, get his drink, and cook his food. Our place was a regular mall food court gig that was open up front like any sandwich or food joint. I give him his food and fries and the guy starts complaining and says the fries aren't cooked enough. Having done this for a while I knew good and bad fries even though he persisted they weren't cooked, but didn't argue. So I take his fries and instead of making him new ones just dump his cup of them in the fryer for about four seconds and hand them back to him with that sarcastic dickhead grin of, "Enjoy your food." I'll never forget the look on the guys face as he watched everything unfold in front of his eyes, talk about appalled. He started muttering and was speechless then just asks for my manager who comes out, does the ass kissing, gets him new fries, and after the guy leaves tells me we need to talk in the back. I follow him and as soon as we get in the back he starts busting up saying he can't believe I did that. I told him the fries were perfect and I thought the guy was an asshole for wanting me to dump out perfectly good fries, wasting them, for some new ones, to which he kind of gives me a customer is always right kind of spiel but was kind of a hero for a few days to everyone. 

#1. Winning RoY does not guarantee success (up until the past five seasons look at the RoY's for both leagues and see guys like Bob Hamlin, Bobby Crosby, and Eric Hinske) and that you should just reject contracts. If conversations were worth a dollar amount, sure.
 
#2. There is also precedent that RoY players don't pan out and at the same time those players have nothing to do with Trout or his contract. If you simply base a business model around precedent you get what happened with the NFL and their CBA that now has a rookie cap. Like you said, the CBA doesn't require a bump, the team could do whatever it wants with regards to any additional pay.
 
#3. This whole portion is ridiculous. In your previous bullet you list a handful of players getting a bump but just iterated him getting treated in comparison to other rookies....if he was treated the same he wouldn't get a bump. I am glad you have insight to Trout and his feelings, even though he has indicated a few times other wise. Someone posted the Weaver example and with the way the Angels throw out heavy contract offers to premium players I really doubt they are going to take a lowball approach down the road.
 
#4 This is also ridiculous and your personal opinion than factual, it also relates to the bullet above. Players are more interested in playing well and staying up in the show rather than what their pay bump may potentially be if they have an above average rookie year.
 
#5. You are indicating someone with a signed contract should get pay above what they signed. I doubt you are also in other threads saying players with bloated contracts should give it back. 
 
If Arte simply gave out money simply because he can, I doubt he would be a billionaire. Your suggested business practice is a failing business model.

I like how Trout said it's not a big deal and he knows he has to keep working hard and his time will come, but people here are pissed for him.
 
Also, I don't know Mike personally, but he doesn't strike me as the selfish and entitled type that is going to be pissed because of the pay and contract structure of the system.

He's also probably overqualified for the Astros.

Dude WTF are you talking about. Texas and STL did not want thier 31+ yr old players at the money they got. Not disrespect just fiscal responsibility. As far as Trout goes what happened to him is nothing new. Just the fact that his agent bitched is what made it newsworthy. I never heard Neftali Feliz's agent whine after he won ROY and was getting paid slightly above players Min. ofcourse Trout had a great year but the Angels have no reason to go above what they are allowed to pay him

love the way Wells factors into EVERY conversation about a player...lol
