Skyrim...crap just killed another horse...and I would rather spend the gold buying a new one that spend the time to reload...sorry Brown Horse -- nm - Capstern Dec 28, 14:19 7
- Just do the Assassin's Guild questline and you get Shadowmere for free. He kicks ass and will fight right along with you.He can kill bandits and bears - Trish Dec 28, 14:38
- I'm not fond of horses. When you ride them you can get attacked, but you can't attack back. -- nm - Qale Dec 28, 14:26
- Skyrim Horse is a much shorter movie. -- nm - Reagen Dec 28, 14:26

sitmop: Sawx acquire Andreww Bailey and OF Sweeney -- (link) - Diva Dec 28, 14:06 29
- Get a good team together, make a run..it'll be fine -- nm - budice Dec 28, 14:08
- well, there it is. Bard's a starter. Kalish is (maybe) our RF. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 14:08
- Sweeney is a real nice piece for them. - groiny Dec 28, 14:06 26
  - ...really? -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 14:09 25
    - Yes, Bailey is always injured, Sweeney has .300 batting average potential. - groiny Dec 28, 14:11 24
      - Ryan Sweeney doesn't have 15 HRs in his *career* (over 1,500 ABs). -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 14:12 23
        
        and he is an excellent defender. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 14:17
        
        Fenway is NOT Oakland. - groiny Dec 28, 14:14 21
        
        20 to 40 pts seems extraordinarily high. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:27 18
        
        one hit a week can add .50 points to a batting average IIRC - groiny Dec 28, 14:35 17
        
        adding a hit a week isn't easy to do. you're only getting 20-30 ABs a week as a full-time player. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 14:38 1
        
        in most cases, yes, but Oakland is notorious for robbing hitters of at bats with all that foul ground. - groiny Dec 28, 14:40
        
        I'd also wager in a ballpark that size, he'll lose one hit a week by not being able to bloop something in front of the OFers - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:37 14
        
        career .283 hitter with .342 OBP, .720 OPS. I am betting he tops that playing in a better hitters park. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 14:41 13
        
        He's a lefty hitter without power. He's not going to get cheap hits off the Monster. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:42 12
        
        we will see soon enough.... - groiny Dec 28, 14:48 11
        
        I see no reason to assume he'll get 500 AB's since he's a part-time player in Oakland and Boston's better - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:51 10
        
        also, compare his part time numbers this season with your own Markakis. - groiny Dec 28, 14:54 6
        
        Trust me, this isn't the indictment you think it is. Markakis has been awful for his salary for the last 3 years. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:55 5
        
        Also, Markakis' lowest OPS+ in his career is 106; Sweeney's highest is 99. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:58 2
        
        again, ballpark factors pretty big into that number. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 14:59 1
        
        No, the OPS+ is park-adjusted. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:59
        
        there are 20 teams would love to have Markakis on their teams - groiny Dec 28, 14:57 1
        
        I wish we could find one of them to take him. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:59
        
        this is the blurb from RotoWorld.... - groiny Dec 28, 14:52 2
        
        Yep, nothing offensive there (other than he will platoon most likely) -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:54 1
        
        even if he platoons, 400+ AB is likely, and he was injured for a chunk of this year - groiny Dec 28, 14:55
        
        I doubt he starts, I think Kalish gets the job and Sweeney is the 4th. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 14:26
        
        but the BoSox fans are just about as obnoxious as Raider fans :) -- nm - Capstern Dec 28, 14:19
i am just going to come out and say it, i do not now, nor have i ever, found justin timberlake attractive. -- nm - Andie Dec 28, 13:59 16
- I think he'd be a cool dude to hang out with. Seems pretty down to earth all things considered. -- nm - sycor Dec 28, 14:13 8
  - Plus, his castoffs would be epic. -- nm - Reagen Dec 28, 14:20 7
    - *finger to nose* - Mel Profit Dec 28, 14:23 6
      - With him and Leo it'd be like "Oh, can you take care of these 5 Victoria's Secret models for me? It's Scorsese on the phone." -- nm - Reagen Dec 28, 14:25 5
        
        "Here...take them to Nebo...tell 'em it's for Leo/Justin...I'll be by in a bit." - Mel Profit Dec 28, 14:34 4
        
        You just gotta make sure you aren't partying at whatever club Jeter is frequenting. That fucker won't share. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:40 3
        
        Jeter vs Leo/Justin...which entourage wins? -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 28, 14:41
        
        "You want a baseball? I can get you a baseball." -- nm - Reagen Dec 28, 14:41 1
        
        "I can make a call and have one here in 15mins...with polish" [nm] - Mel Profit Dec 28, 14:42
- Well, I'll just say the opposite. I like him quite a lot. Though I wished he'd make more music. -- nm - Qale Dec 28, 14:10
- Mildly surprising, but personality-wise I am ok with how he conducts his business.... - budice Dec 28, 14:02 3
  - i don't dislike him, exactly, i just don't get the uber-appeal he seemingly has for others. - Andie Dec 28, 14:03 2
    - You don't hear much negativity around him. Jessica Biel was his drama. -- nm - budice Dec 28, 14:06
    - Yep. - the liioulu with Dec 28, 14:05
- He's grown on me. - the liioulu with Dec 28, 14:00
- whatever, you'd dry hump him. -- nm - Max Dec 28, 14:00
And who gives underwear as a gift? I mean, granny panties for Christmas? That's some serious ruining. -- nm - amanda Dec 28, 13:56 4
- I can send you the gift receipt if you need to return them. :-( -- nm - TWuG Dec 28, 14:06
- Grandparents and aunts. -- nm - the liioulu with Dec 28, 14:01
- I woudl not give you anything that I was trying to get you out of. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 14:00
- those aren't the panties she was asking for. -- nm - Max Dec 28, 13:59

- I love it. Do we have any baby news yet? Isn't today the day? -- nm - Trish Dec 28, 14:32 2
  - I believe she said it would be the 30th. -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 28, 14:34
  - I think it's pretty darn close, but I haven't heard anything specific. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 28, 14:33
- it really is, she knocked it out of the park. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 14:30

- I take it back...I wouldn't mind if this guy caught a monstrous beating. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 28, 14:06
- Now I need to take that magic and get it over the record company. -- nm - Reed Rothchild Dec 28, 14:04

  - Well what you say in last paragraph - Capstern Dec 28, 13:47
- You're just as right as anyone, but it someone you're interested in is telling you that, then they are trying to tell you something without saying it - the liioulu with Dec 28, 13:44 15
  - I swear, none of these posts are in English. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 13:45 14

      - Not at all. It was something someone said to me that I just had never considered - Capstern Dec 28, 13:48 9

        You know I agree with you and I get an OFFS - Capstern Dec 28, 13:52 7
        
        the fact that you still spend so much time trying to figure out how 'other people do it', is the issue. if you stopped spending so much - Andie Dec 28, 13:54 5
        
        I DO understand this. But we are decended from monkeys and we model activites of others... - Capstern Dec 28, 13:59 2
        
        honestly, we all learned from experience. you have been through 3 courtships that lead to marriage. if that didn't teach you, i'm not sure we can. - Andie Dec 28, 14:01 1

    - labels never work. there are always grey areas. -- nm - Andie Dec 28, 13:45 4
      - well, for a given value of "work", they do, but they are shortcuts, and never reflect the full picture. -- nm - znufrii Dec 28, 13:46 3
