        I mean I still see bumper stickers all the time. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 11:09

- That certainly doesn't help CQ's team, and is a bit surprising to me. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 10:44 2
  - And CQ, you have a pretty good team for trading. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 10:52 1
    - He took over a pretty crappy team in WN and has been fighting an uphill battle. - spamlet Apr 4, 10:54

  - McCann is the first player who gets locked up, but the Yadier Molina deal made that trickier. - David Apr 4, 10:43 5
    - McCann and Weiters did jumps for joy when that was announced. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 10:48 4
      - I've been one of Molina's most ardent supporters and even I think that's nuts. - David Apr 4, 10:49 2
        
        yeah, they put the premium on the defense, and while I think it is important. - groiny Apr 4, 10:51 1
        
        I think he's the next Mike Scioscia. His baseball intellect is as high as any I've seen. But he's a slap hitter with a career .707 OPS. -- nm - David Apr 4, 10:52
      - as did Montero. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 4, 10:48
- Course, if the owners won't spend, that's not really great.... - Will Hunting Apr 4, 10:34 3
  - What strongbad says is accurate. Ownership frequently uses opportunities such as this to sell teams. -- nm - David Apr 4, 10:40
  - ATL might have new owners come 2013. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 4, 10:35 1
    - Plus, McCann's team option is certain to be picked up.... -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 10:38

lir TFox poll - Usually, the employee is told "we are giving you a raise now but you won't get one at the normal time" - CrankYanker Apr 4, 10:27 4
- I just can't see myself getting upset over not getting 3 X a normal raise. - Strongbad Apr 4, 10:29 3
  - this is why i'm trying to decide how i would feel about it if it happens, so i don't react poorly. - TFox Apr 4, 10:35 1
    - I guess the way to look at it is that they could have just waited until now to give the 2X raise and you would have been very happy with it. -- nm - zork Apr 4, 10:49
  - To me it's like going to dinner and giving the waitress a 40% tip, then the next you go you tell her you've decided not to tip since you gave her - CrankYanker Apr 4, 10:33
Oh that reminds me... a couple days ago I saw a old car with a Nixon/Agnew bumper sticker. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 4, 10:26 2

What I really want to see is Santorum losing in PA -- nm - Jovian Apr 4, 10:25 8
- no no no, we really really want a brokered convention, even if it means they dump Mitt and choose a candidate after 2 weeks of balloting -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 4, 10:41 1
  - Not going to happen. -- nm - ty97 Apr 4, 10:54

  - you'll vote in the Rep. primary? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 4, 10:28 1
    - not this time around, alas. -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 10:30

- But not for leading the "fuck you"chant. -- nm - TWuG Apr 4, 10:24 2
  - i don't think bill murray has ever apologized for punching him out backstage at SNL either - pixitude Apr 4, 10:27 1
