  1. I like dark roast too, and as strong as it can be made. Has to be fresh. Have become a coffee snob. Used to use 50/50 cream. Then I shifted to whole milk and am now weening off that to black. It's going better now. Just took a couple weeks to get off the dairy. Sometimes I put a little coconut oil in it. Trainer told me it's supposed to be healthy. No idea if it is.
  2. We were both at those games That last home stand against TB was incredible. It kicked off with both Price and Archer getting lit up and ended the 3 games with a JD walk off under a bright blue fall sky. That was sooooooo fun.
  3. Yup....its all good for the franchise and long term health of the team. I don't mind casual fans. They make up the bulk of the fan base in every market.
  4. Yes, they probably think Price is on the bump and Revere will be in LF and hitting LO.
  5. Depends in part on the budget. We need Travis and Pompey to be real. Agree this list isn't.....overly exciting.
  6. lol. I thought same....then I thought it was 29 per AAV and spit my coffee out. Deal seems a bit high this year and ok depending on how 2016 goes. I like the cost certainty so we can make JB/EE decisions with information, and it avoids what can be a scar leaving arb process. Ok with it.
  7. Hitting leadoff for Blue Jays would restrict Pillar as a runner http://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/mlb/hitting-leadoff-for-blue-jays-would-restrict-pillar-as-a-runner/ar-BBpfUKX?ocid=spartandhp Duh
  8. Dare to dream. I am really looking forward to seeing if this guy can continue to prove most of us wrong about him. He is a great story so far.
  9. Um...because he is a big part of this team and he is hanging with his teammates...which I think is all pretty cool. How that can be a negative for you is beyond me, unless you are just being a loser and trolling.

    Nice ending to Manning's great HOF career with another ring, even though he didn't produce much. This was a grueling defensive game.

    I just cant stand that "uptown funk" song
  12. Unless something dramatically changes on a major injury front or the world economy collapses, the FA signing comps don't remotely come close to this AAV for Jose. Its way low. The term is likely.

    Manziel's father: Son 'won't live to see his 24th birthday' if he doesn't get help http://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/953148?utm_source=theScore+Newsletter+Opt-in&utm_campaign=22ea04279c-theScore_Newsletter_February_3_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_66d949f09a-22ea04279c-76602509 I hope he can get his life together.
  14. I don't read much into these comments. Its what they all say and have to unless things have gone seriously south in the relationship...which is not the case here. It seems opinions on trying to sign neither, one or both of these guys (and if one which one) are evolving OTB as the team's situation evolves. I like them both but understand the parameters Shapiro is working with. Just going to put my faith in people I'm hoping are a lot smarter than us to make the right personnel business calls here for the health of the org.
  15. lol. I really thought Lunchbox was the real deal. With that baby face, it seemed like the ball just jumped off his bat. That's why I'm not a scout. Good no risk signing on Floyd

    Saw this this am and thought it probably reflected the discussion between the front office and Manziel
  17. I can't believe this thread is still rolling. We really need to get some real baseball news and spring training going!

    He seems to be a massively f***ed up. His issues run deep. We will be reading about him in a few years like we are reading about the other QB drated along aide Peyton.

    Browns issue harsh statement about Johnny Manziel - Plan to release http://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nfl/browns-issue-harsh-statement-about-johnny-manziel/ar-BBp20FN?ocid=spartandhp Self destructive kid. Lots of talent. What a shame.
  20. I third that motion.

    I know. Long ago me too. I grew up worshipping Bobby Orr and the Bruins in NS. Loved the cold war battles with the hated but talented USSR. Then I started mixing in the Expos and the Jays. I'm more ball now than hockey. Although when my Bruins finally beat the Canucks for the Cup I was pretty stoked.

    I remember him in the Canada Cups and best on best tourneys. He was always blazing around getting tons of opps but totally snake bit. Consistent sniper. One thing to have speed but another to convert it to production like he did. I have not been following NHL all star stuff much as its lost my interest but honestly I would have thought his record was broken ages ago with the pace of today's NHL and full inclusion of Europeans.

    That's incredible when you think of it. The game is so fast now. Gartner was a freak to be that fast 2 decades ago. Over 700 goals.
  24. What are the chances we can get out of spring training without the Saunders/Stro type news we had last year? Both of those days sucked pigass.
  25. Agree that it's not crazy. As far as FA WAR/$ they will be good value, or at least a good probability risk. The issue is the total cost of arbitration, other big ticket players and depth signings. We are likely to lose Cecil in 2017 and if Hutch does have a good season he is getting a big arb raise. We need younger cheaper players like Travis and Pompey to contribute giving him more budget flex. If mgm feel they can move Tulo in 2017 (if he agrees) the math makes more sense for resigning one or both of them. It's all about the budget Rogers gives him.
