Jays lineup currently - Beaker Nov 16, 11:14 10
- Okay, fraud, dinged up, fluky, okay, mark reynolds does it better, placeholder, okay...meh. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 11:17

        well, I worry about the entire thing. - groiny Nov 16, 11:25 2
        
        Drabek and Hutchinson won't be around until late summer at the earliest. The likely #5 is a mish-mash of the following: - Name Withheld By Request Nov 16, 11:30 1
        
        PS: Should also be a solid bullpen if we've got Buehrle and Morrow pitching twice a week. Each guy gets his innings. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 16, 11:32

    - and yet people want the Marlins trade vacated.... -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 11:17 3
      - Becuase Jeffrey Loria has done more damage to the MLB brand with his con-artist tactics than anyone. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 11:29
      - That part has nothing to do with the Jays. Everything depends on what they get for flipping pieces. -- nm - David Nov 16, 11:18 1
        
        I don't think it even matters about the pieces coming back. It's criminal what Loria (and corrupt/incompetant politicians) did to the city of Miami. - musubi Nov 16, 11:20
- Suckers. -- nm - David Nov 16, 11:10 1
  - 4 years 50-60 mil was what I've read he figured to get before testing positive, roll of the dice -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 11:16
- $16 mil over 2 years, doesn't sound that bad. -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 11:09 1
  - It's not. But it's not cheap either. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 11:10
- Huh. So much for the theory that he'd have to take a 1 year small ammount make-good contract, eh? (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 11:09
- That's becoming a very dangerous team - decline Nov 16, 11:09 2
  - pitching is still an issue. - groiny Nov 16, 11:13 1
    - they have a bunch of catchers to trade for help there -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 11:14
- They can have him -- nm - amoxy Nov 16, 11:08
- jesus, they are going all in, eh? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 11:07 1

- Over 900 Ebay auctions for a box -- nm - decline Nov 16, 11:07
- David's B2 performance was subpar. He is weighing contract options with the Marlins, Cubs, Rockies. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 11:06 5
  - Seemed perfectly par for David actually. DLC isn't just a saying. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 11:11 4
    - *victory lap* -- nm - David Nov 16, 11:14 3
      - Exactly. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 11:16 2
        
        That's it. Let it eat at you. -- nm - David Nov 16, 11:17 1
        
        *giggle* (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 11:21
- tangent: in the No Reservations episode where Anthony Bourdain goes to Cleveland, they visit a bookstore in an old Hostess factory - znufrii Nov 16, 11:04 1
  - not even the rats eat that shit -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 16, 11:18
- that sludge is marshmallow? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 11:03 14
  - It started out as banana flavor, I think. - TWuG Nov 16, 11:04 7
    - Started out Banana cream and switched to Vanilla when bananas were rationed during WWII. -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 11:06 1
      - Huh. Twinkie history takes a dark turn. - musubi Nov 16, 11:07
    - They briefly had banana flavored sponge cake Twinkies, but afaik, the creme was always marshmallow. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 11:05 4
      - he is right, the original twinkies had banana cream. I heard a whole podcast about them. -- nm - Save the Twinkies Nov 16, 11:37
      - it's not marshmallow! -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 11:06 2
        
        I stand corrected. Whatever it is, it's DELICIOUS. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 11:08 1
        
        well, I can't argue with that. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 11:09
  - marshmallow FROM THE GODS. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 11:04
  - No -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 11:03 4
    - can't you see that Twinkies are tearing us apart? *sob* -- nm - Epiphany Nov 16, 11:09 1
      - *returns the favor* But only non-chocolate versions. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 11:13
    - did not think so. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 11:04 1
