        This was another issue of why I didn't want to buy the laptop after finding out they opened it,. -- nm - lileve Oct 7, 11:59
      - Yes but I don't want a factory sealed laptop opened by GeekSqaud with software they installed on it. -- nm - lileve Oct 7, 11:42 3

- Occupy Hollywood! -- nm - Max Oct 7, 11:20
The Yanks really should a) resign CC as long as it's not absurd. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 11:01 43
- I'm sure all the talk the Yankees made about driving up the price for Carl Crawford won't come into play at all this offseason in regards to CC... -- nm - Beaker Oct 7, 11:30 1
  - As a fan of the black sheep of that division, I'm more than happy to see either of them offer 25mil+ to a guy like that. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 11:31
- I would be scared to give Sabathia a long contract given his rising weight. - David Oct 7, 11:15 24
  - Despite the fact that he's had no injuries? Sure, he's a big man but he's never shown a sign of it being an issue. - Krusty Oct 7, 11:18 22
    - Wells was a relatively cheap solution. CC wants to be one of the 5-10 highest paid players in baseball in 2016. - David Oct 7, 11:20 1
      - Fair enough. Who knows what shape he'll be in four years from now. Like you mentioned, his knees could break down. - Krusty Oct 7, 11:23
    - 300lb guys start walking funny at some point. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 11:19 19
      - i do NOT understand how baseball players are allowed to get in such lousy shape. you are a *professional athlete* being paid *milions of dollars* and - Andie Oct 7, 11:21 3
        
        It's a strange situation in that sometimes changes to the body shape *hurt* a player. - David Oct 7, 11:26
        
        pitcher don't have to do shit but stand on a mound and throw the ball real hard - moles Oct 7, 11:23 1
        
        yeah, and i don't have to do anything but sit at my desk and type, doesn't mean my overall health isn't important. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 11:25
      - I'm not going to worry about it until he gives me a reason to think his weight is a problem. - Krusty Oct 7, 11:21 14
        
        Unrelated to anything else about baseball, his weight *is* a problem. They say 325 but more wouldn't surprise me. Nobody that age should weigh... - David Oct 7, 11:24 5
        
        This is all true. His weight isn't healthy for him or anyone, more so for those that aren't athletes. - Krusty Oct 7, 11:29 4
        
        It's a tough decision to make because he is so clearly the best starter on that team. - David Oct 7, 11:32 3
        
        I'll say..one is 300mil a year; the other is only 24mil a year. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 7, 11:33 2
        
        The man has to eat, Joey. You don't get that belly cheap. -- nm - David Oct 7, 11:34 1
        
        Bulls**t. Look at me! - Will Hunting Oct 7, 11:35
        
        Page Six said he went straight to the Sizzler after last night's game and still hasn't gotten up from the table -- nm - moles Oct 7, 11:22 7

        C'mon, the only person holding long drawn out conversations about loving ARod is ARod. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 7, 11:30 4
        
        His bat speed was non-existent in that series. I wonder how many surgeries he's about to get. -- nm - David Oct 7, 11:33 3
        
        That hsould be Exhibit A in don't put $150mil on the table for CC. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 11:34 1
        
        Lowe has always said he signed with the Braves because the Mets wouldn't guarantee a fourth year. - David Oct 7, 11:38

- How long has CC been with the Yankees? 3-4 years? - amoxy Oct 7, 11:10 8
  - 3 years, but he had an opt-out after 3yrs becuase there was concern he didn't like the bright lights. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 11:11 2
    - It makes me very happy reading that he loves living here. - Krusty Oct 7, 11:14 1
      - [deleted]
  - he has 4 years left on the contract, but can opt-out during this offseason -- nm - moles Oct 7, 11:11
  - Four years and he has an opt out clause. Everyone is expecting him to use that clause and ask for more money. -- nm - Krusty Oct 7, 11:11 3
    - Three years here, not four. -- nm - Krusty Oct 7, 11:13
    - IIRC, the contract was for seven with the opt out after four. -- nm - Krusty Oct 7, 11:11 1
      - Oh OK got it -- nm - amoxy Oct 7, 11:12
- From what I've seen there aren't guys out there this year. - Krusty Oct 7, 11:09 2
  - Garcia's a FA too, no? Is Colon signed past this year? (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:11 1
    - I believe both are FA. I don't expect them to sign them both if they sign either. -- nm - Krusty Oct 7, 11:12

Mitt Romney: I'll increase the bloated defense budget (nmbl) - Brian Oct 7, 10:57 1
- What if Iran, Syria, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Venezuela, Burma and Finland attak simultaneously, huh? Then where will you be? -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 11:04
I think I might be getting sick. it can't possibly actually be as cold as it feels in our suite. can it? -- nm - amanda jones Oct 7, 10:57 1
- have you been gambling at a Hong Kong casino recently? -- nm - moles Oct 7, 11:00
friday hax chat q: should she be concerned that her BF has been in touch with and seeing his 3 ex-GFs behind her back? - moles Oct 7, 10:56 21
- Three words - amoxy Oct 7, 10:59 5
  - its really the only way to be sure -- nm - Epiphany Oct 7, 11:44
  - haha -- nm - lileve Oct 7, 11:04
  - at this point we can acronym this, right? FTD? -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 11:00 2
    - unfortunately, I think flowers there. -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 11:05 1
      - "That's fine honey, go ahead and order from FTD." hijinks ensue. -- nm - Max Oct 7, 11:06
- i actually think you *can* be friends with certain exes, but secretly seeing *3* of them, means he is keeping a LOT of secrets. *that's* a big issue. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 10:58 11
  - flipside: Dear Carolyn, I have platonic relationships with my exes but my GF has made an ultimatum that I break off contact with them... - Max Oct 7, 11:04 5
    - see, i can't get behind that "I had to lie" as an ongoing thing. if you have to lie to your spouse about a friendship you plan - Andie Oct 7, 11:07 4
      - Points to the insecure spouse for being honest about their constraints, I guess. -- nm - Max Oct 7, 11:22
      - do you want to hear something ridic? - amanda jones Oct 7, 11:21 1
        
        see? that's crazy to me. - Andie Oct 7, 11:23
      - agreed ... I think it's critical that friendship with the exes should be transparent. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:12
  - Yup. One, ok maybe it's nothing. Two, eh.....very iffy. Three, dude what are you hiding? - musubi Oct 7, 11:00 4
    - the hiding is the bad part, IMO, not the number. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:01 3
      - It's both. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 7, 11:07
      - Hiding it is the issue, but the number absolutely makes a difference, imo. - musubi Oct 7, 11:04 1
        
        but if it was just ONE, I would think affair. With three, I actually think it's less likely he is cheating. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:12
- "This week, I read his email..." OFFS. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 7, 10:58 1
  - cause it's all about the TRUST with her -- nm - moles Oct 7, 10:59
- no, I'm sure it's perfectly fine. - loosilu Oct 7, 10:57
