Just going with completely unoriginal thoughts, but a collection of all yours, I thought I'd just conglomerate them.
1. During the Prado thread, the idea of a trade involving Santiago for Prado was floated out there, and I think that proposal has some merit to it. The type that fits the needs and goals of both teams.
2. There's no clear winner in the debate between Heyward, Upton and Cespedes. They all make a ton of sense. I'm not here to declare a winner at all. My own personal preference is Upton, but I think Cespedes will likely cost the least, and not cost a draft pick. Just for that alone, I'll just use him as a hypothetical.
3. Sign Utley to a one year incentive laden deal. He gets a long look in ST, guaranteed PT until Pujols returns, a chance at the everyday DH or 2B position, or a spot off the bench, gets to play for a
contenderpretender, makes some money and maybe even re-establish value before FA next year. It's the perfect spot for him.4. Sign Cueto. If Eppler really intends to rely heavily on FA, and the Angels intend to preserve their first round pick, which is smart, Cueto makes a ton of sense.
5. Trade Shoemaker for a solid reliver. The Angels already have so much pitching depth, and to add Cueto almost demands they trade one or two of them.
I think an opening day lineup with Calhoun, Prado, Trout, Cespedes, Cron and Utley could do some damage. I think a rotation that lines up as Cueto, Richards, Heaney, Tropeano and Wilson could be very solid. Adding another reliever to go in the 7th push Gott into the 6th and gives us a deep bullpen.
I think in essence, what I'm saying is that when AW puts all its best ideas together, it's pretty smart.
Fixed.

Starbucks isn't even close to the top of the line
Its the McDs of coffee
Don't tell that to the people who are paying over $5 for their gourmet coffee.

Freddie's gotta save that one.

I don't get the fascination with Starbucks. Paying $5-$10 for a cup of coffee seems stupid. On top of waiting in line for 15-20 minutes to overpay
Makes people feel better to be able to buy the "top of the line" of something. Most can't afford the Ferrari but most can afford a caramel machiato, 3 pumps vanilia, soy milk, extra carmel, hold the jizz. Also caffeine is super addictive.

It makes me giggle that the red cups upset people. I really hope someone complains when I am in there so I can troll the shit out of them by letting them know I'm so happy that Starbucks isn't forcing Christmas on me.

Question, was the hit on McDavid clean enough and it was just a bad break?
That sucks.
Yes

The Dodgers pen was exposed? I believe the starter took the loss in all 3 losses and the pen didn't give up an ER in 4 out of the 5 games. Also wasn't the Mets pen great in the DS and CS?

By having nearly zero overhead from the parent company that really doesn't give a shit if the guy driving you around has four bald tires and no brakes.

The only thing that will pull the Ducks out of this deep dark hole is offering up Bruce to the hockey gods.

Peyts update:
I was so worried about Peyts transition back to school after two weeks off for fall break, but he did really great! No behavior issues at all! His teacher had him as her helper for math this afternoon and sent me this picture! Such a relief! The school psychologist said he seemed a lot less anxious for some reason. â¤
I didn't know elementary schools did two week breaks in mid October.
Thanks for making a Monday better yk!

Cam Fowler on Bruce:“He’s been doing this a long time. You guys can say all you want about him but in here we care about him as much as we care about our teammates. He’s a guy that you want to win for. Trust me, there’s no one taking this harder than he is. He’s a guy that wants to win.â€

I wouldn't mind Freese getting a 2 year deal for $20M with a team option for a third. It's not my money.
I wouldn't mind getting David Price for 4 years 80M. Neither will happen.

The Chargers could be 7-2 if it weren't for the 4th quarter.
