  - Give it a rest, they made a call that worked out really damn well for other players - Will Hunting Nov 13, 17:13 2
    - Strasburg got the rest -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 17:13 1
      - Yep, cuz he needed it. Facts are facts. He was not a dominant pitcher his last dozen starts. HE was coming back from a serious - Will Hunting Nov 13, 17:23
Attention: SLACK is now the #4 Alliance on Delta.org...that is all. -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 17:10
If you're Reyes or Buerhle, how pissed are you that gave up your free agency for 1 year of that bullshit and now get sent elsewhere? - Will Hunting Nov 13, 17:10 1
- Don't forget Heath Bell. None of those free agents even lasted a year. -- nm - David Nov 13, 17:15
Apparently the Marlins charge media to park at the stadium. -- (link) - spamlet (iPhone) Nov 13, 17:05

so, I guess you now have to join Twitter to follow someone? Used to rwead Simmons' tweets but won't show any longer with joining -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 16:54 4
- Nope. See ST's as an example. If you can't read them, that must mean they're protected, and joining won't help. -- (link) - mara Nov 13, 17:08 3
  - Or rather, joining alone won't help. Members can request access to them, though. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 17:09 1
    - (and thanks) -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 17:10
  - why would a public figure like Simmons (who loves the attention) do that? -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 17:09

  - I would but I just remembered we're out of town that night -- nm - J - Nexus Nov 13, 17:09
- "giving cancer the banhammer." nice. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 16:19 1

my nyc teabag cousin really getting into depression over this obama stealing the election with voter fraud....here's his FB share -- (link) - zeitgeist Nov 13, 15:49 12
- My Mom is still hysterical about the election. Our way of life is doomed. Death panels will tell her when to die. Obama wants to rewrite... - ceregon Nov 13, 16:10 9
  - I was quite relieved when I asked my parents why they dislike Obama so much. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 13, 16:40
  - Just wait until he comes for all the white women. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 16:12
  - I think this may be something that makes her happy, in a weird way. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 16:12 6
    - I just don't get it. She never really cared about politics until Obama got elected. Maybe she just turned really racist. -- nm - ceregon Nov 13, 16:17 5
      - She might have been all along but this just gives her and a lot of people to give it vent without actually admitting it. -- nm - the liioulu with Nov 13, 16:33
      - "just turned?" -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 16:20 3
        
        She didn't really act racist when I was a kid. I had a black friend and it was no big deal. -- nm - ceregon Nov 13, 16:34 2
        
        (to you) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 16:37
        
        My father swore he wasn't a racist. But the way he talked about people who weren't white behind their backs belied that. -- nm - the liioulu with Nov 13, 16:36
- someone should tell him Hedges is a socialist. -- nm - mafic Nov 13, 16:01 1
  - awesome, I googled him, and them posted back to my cousin since he practically spits about obama's socialism -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 13, 16:49

- Oh, goodie, Yunel is back in the NL East. -- nm - nubby Nov 13, 16:20 1
  - This close to Cuba may be the only place he's ever happy. -- nm - David Nov 13, 16:41
- Holy shit.... -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 16:20

- "Just about any (Marlins) player making money is going to Toronto," a source told ESPN -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 16:11
- You'd think ESPN could get a website that works on an iPhone. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Nov 13, 16:00 1
  - Apparently it does work in Safari but nothing else. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Nov 13, 16:02

        The perception is that they would rather have four prospects than one stud. - David Nov 13, 16:57
      - If he is, Selig should just contract the Marlins. - Will Hunting Nov 13, 16:42
- [deleted] 12
  - and Bonafacio. And John Buck. It's a joke if MLB lets this trade execute. -- nm - David Nov 13, 16:40 11
    - I really hope Miami sues the shit out of Loria. - Will Hunting Nov 13, 16:47 10
      - I don know if there is some "I won't run my franchise into the ground clause" but they need to take the team away from him. - spamlet (iPhone) Nov 13, 16:49 7
        
        He's got some experience with that. -- nm - Mop on iPad Nov 13, 16:59
        
        This strikes me as a bridge too far. -- nm - David Nov 13, 16:54 5
        
        He's had 20 years to figure out how to make money there. He's failed. - spamlet (iPhone) Nov 13, 16:59 4
        
        I mean MLB. Florida ownership is what it is. -- nm - David Nov 13, 17:05
        
        Miami doesn't care, but this is absurd. They receive like twice as much in revenue sharing as their payroll. - Will Hunting Nov 13, 17:01 2
        
        They don't care because he keeps pulling this shit. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Nov 13, 17:02 1
        
        They just don't care. Neither does Tampa. The Marlins didn't care in 2004 after he actually kept a title team together - Will Hunting Nov 13, 17:05
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I picture Loria swimming around in a pile of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 16:51

  - that doesn't seem odd to me at all. wooden fence, chop something to fit. -- nm - mafic Nov 13, 15:32
  - let's ask Meg. I'm sure they're BFFs. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 15:01 2
    - Strange store - seems like they're surprised she'd think to whack it with the axe ? -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 13, 15:05 1
      - Store?? Story!! -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 13, 15:13

      - hee. I don't mind telling you guys what was going on, but for him to make my response public knowledge on the boards was douchey. - CQ Nov 13, 15:04 3
        
        He threw it on the game forums? - Mel Profit Nov 13, 15:05 2
        
        no, just our in game alliance message forum thing -- nm - CQ Nov 13, 15:12 1
        
        Close enough. -- nm - WarMachine Nov 13, 15:30
- is that LUX dude still after you? -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 14:53 1

Groiny's music taste sucks. -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 14:50 13
- at least my music is in English. - groiny Nov 13, 14:51 12
  - I think one of the reasons I like worldbeat stuff is that the lyrics don't get in the way, the voice is just another instrument -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 13, 15:55
  - What does it matter? - spamlet Nov 13, 14:54 8
    - the lyrics don't have to be good, but if I am singing along, I do not want to be singing.... - groiny Nov 13, 14:57 7
