If thats how much the Marlins are worth the Jays could probably get $2B.

 

I think the valuation of the franchise was closer to the ballpark figure of $700M, IIRC. Loria just wanted to see if he could be enticed to sell.

I should have said if thats *how much the Marlins are going for*. Although if sports teams are all being sold for more than the valuations say then perhaps the valuations should increase to reflect that.

If the Marlins are being sold for 1.6 Billion how much could the Yankees go for?

 

According to Forbes, 3.4B

However, as burlingtonbandit said teams sell for more than their valuation, much like houses often do

 

If the Steinbrenners decided to sell the Yankees they'd probably have several groups/people lined up willing to pay far more than 3.4B

First baseman/designated hitter Byung Ho Park has cleared waivers and been outrighted off the Twins’ 40-man roster, reports La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The team has since announced the move. Park will be in camp with the Twins as a non-roster invitee in Spring Training.

 

Park was somewhat surprisingly designated for assignment last week in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Matt Belisle, who signed as a free agent. However, the guaranteed $9.25MM remaining on Park’s contract allowed him to pass through waivers unclaimed, and he’ll now remain with the Twins and vie for a job in camp or early this season after getting in some work with the Twins’ Triple-A affiliate in Rochester.

 

I thought he might get claimed by someone. He's got some upside with his power. But when Chris Carter is going for 3 million and Pedro Alvarez will get even less there is no point in locking in to Park for that long.

Don't forget you're cooking it and leave the pot boiling/melting on the stove for hours.

I would suggest you explore the joy of finger cooking. Bill knows his s***.

You can melt a pot with the stove? Maybe one of those crappy aluminum ones on a gas stove, but I'm not sure.

Yes, an aluminum pot for sure. On an electric or gas stove.

Not sure if you guys are genuinely trolling or not

 

I just want to eat :(

 

Are you actually asking for advice on how to cook dry pasta?

I have many talents.

 

Piano, fitness, art, e.t.c.

 

But cooking is not one of them

Bitch, tomatoes ain't no game, if you're not making your own sauce don't bother and if you're not using canned Marzano just go eat pizza crusts from a dumpster.

 

Can primo or No Name sauce do well? :/

I can't cook for s*** but spaghetti is so damn easy even I can do it. Some real chef here might laugh at this advice but take it from a bachelor who can't cook that this is what needs to happen:

 

Noodles: Boil some water in a pot on the stove. Throw a box of pasta in there. Add a pinch of salt. I don't know why but my mom told me to do it. The box of noodles will tell you how long it takes. Usually around 8 minutes or so. If you want you can pull a noodle out and try it, if it's too hard it needs more time. Be careful to not burn yourself though so run the test noodle under some cold water first. Also, stir the noodles a little bit bc if they reach the bottom of the pot and stay there they can get burnt. When the noodles are done to your liking take the pot and dump it all in a strainer which you have put in the sink. Once you are satisfied that the water is gone, you can dish the noodles on to plates.

 

Sauce: Buy some ground beef and throw it in a pan. You might want to spray the pan first with some vegetable oil or something. When the meat has minimum pink left (I prefer no pink but you don't want it to burn), throw a jar of spaghetti sauce in there. Once the meat is cooked just turn the heat down so you don't burn the sauce. You merely need to keep it warm. Stir it up.

 

Now when the noodles and sauce are both done (ideally you finish them both within a couple of minutes so start the noodles then work on the sauce) you put the noodles on a plate and then put the sauce over the noodles. It's really easy, trust me.

 

Now further to that if you want a real treat you can get a loaf of those premade garlic breads. You just throw those in the stove and follow the directions but they are delicious with your spaghetti.

 

If you are having a lady over make sure to buy a bottle of wine.

 

That's it. If you have any questions just ask.

thanks a lot!

 

BTW regarding ground beef - I tried that too for the first time a few days ago and I'm glad I don't have ecoli. I was just wondering - how do you get your ground beef to get that dark brown color? Mine only went as far as grey and I cooked it for 15 minutes...

But cooking is not one of them

 

- boil water

- cook pasta 8-10 minutes

- strain

- throw s*** sauce in same pot, with burner on

- let sauce cook for like 60 seconds

- throw hot pasta back in pot, stir for a minute

 

eat

 

don't forget to turn burner off

 

do your dishes

 

you don't need ground beef. beef doesn't belong in pasta. f*** whoever thinks it does.
