My pet goat is now heavily rooting for Hamilton to return to form!

It was clutch that after GRich left the rotation, Shoe kicked it into another gear and showed no signs of being affected by the extra pressure.

Epic Lou bump will ensue 

Nice propaganda by the guy hitting .246 lifetime at the Big A.
 
Last season at the Big A he was part of the....
 

 

If he puts up those numbers I'll fellate a goat.

I like the direction this thread has headed, mostly because I like to bitch about my generation.
I was born in 1987.  My parents are on the older side, both born in the 1940's.
 
Both my parents worked, starting from their teens up until retiring around age 60-ish.
My dad, having owned his owned business, still isn't quite retired, but he has switched things over to online-only, and can step away at any time.
They travel.  They gamble.  They do whatever they want, whenever they want because that's what you are entitled to after decades of hard work.
 
I'm an only child.  My parents have money, property, cars, whatever.
I've been working, be it for my dad, odd jobs, college jobs, or now a real career, since I was in my early teens.
High school would end, other kids would go play video games, smoke pot, dick around, and I would be on the bus to go to work.
Saved up enough money for a truck.  Started driving to work.
I haven't asked my parents for a dime since college ended.  They paid for my education.  I have no real debt other than a condo-sized mortgage.  Paid my car off years ago.
 
The under-30 people I work with.... you should see them.  Entitled.  Brainless.  Disgusting.  All of them with college degrees in science and engineering, but most don't know the meaning of work.
They don't want to drive to LA because it's too far.  They arrive in the office at 9:00 and leave at 4:30 or 5:00.  They sit on their ass in the field and don't ask questions; they watch the contractors work.
 
I feel sad for my generation.  We have little in common.

That and despite our bitching, there is still a limitless opportunity to have a truly great life in this country. 

Or they could just simplify the tax code and close all the loop holes.  

Taxpayers already subsidize the low-cost tuition at community colleges, the next logical step is to make it free.
 
I might consider tuition reimbursement for students who participate in a few pre-defined degree programs and maintain decent grades.

I may have over-stated his power -- only hit one HR last year -- didn't he hit one in the post-season?
 
and YES - insurance for Pagan --
 
Pagan was GREAT for the Giants -- when he was in the line up -- but he was on the DL so much --
 
but check the SF Giants win loss record with Pagan leading off and then the W/L with him on the DL/ not in the line up -- Giants really needed him to spur their offense.

I think you mean 2016 WS MVP.

You know he's the sort of player that just fits them perfectly. He'll quietly end up hitting .300 and playing outstanding D.

My time is worth more than 15 dollars an hour so I have no problem paying someone to do what I don't want to do.

Not as big of a deal as having no championships in that same time period.

1. Bring your own bacon, avocado, or Swiss cheese.
2. Order a double-double at INO.
3. ???
4. Profit.

Heaney will be in as a Dodger, because "they had a good run".

They've been taking about this for over a decade now.
I'll believe it when I see it

10 dollars an hour is minimum wage (or close im assuming). Correct that youn wont be able to live on that, but the point would be to develop a skill that pays better than 10 an hour.

Most financial planners recommend having 6-9 months' worth of expenses in an emergency account, ready to draw on if needed.
 
And the older you get, the more necessary health insurance becomes. Serious illness and hospitalization can bankrupt someone without health coverage. 

I'm not, but if I lose my job my ex is.

Here's the 4th member.
 

Selanne, Gretzky and Robitaille are the no-brainers... 4th I think is a work in progress
