You realize if we *do* have a winning ticket....there will probably be about 50 other winners to share with :/ - Meg Nov 28, 15:18 15
- While there usually are multiple winners in such large drawings, it's not like THAT many. -- nm - Qale Nov 28, 15:47 1
  - Oh I know - but realistically there's as much chance of that as of just one winner. - Meg Nov 28, 15:49

    - smaller initial sum = fewer taxes paid, right? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 28, 15:28

    - (Creating an open source seed company would be a decent thing to do) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 28, 15:26 3
      - I'm not sure how "open source" applies here. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 15:28 2

  - *blinks*. I'm so not celebrating with you, Mr Straight Edge -- nm - JD Nov 28, 14:38 2
    - marcel misinterpreted "go away" as in "making the money go away". When, in fact, the poll is to disappear the purchased item. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 28, 15:14

- basically. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 14:30 1

  - You should have said Gileses. -- nm - David Nov 28, 14:34 3
    - You did corner the market on Joneses for a while. (nm) - musubi Nov 28, 15:55
    - *SPLURT* -- nm - nubby Nov 28, 14:48

- Bring back BJ Surhoff! - Kim Pine Nov 28, 14:27
- Sorry to likely anger you more, but it's reported to be 5/70-75. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 28, 14:27 11
  - And according to MLBTR the Braves also lose their first round pick. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 28, 14:29 5
    - 5/72 with a $15M option in year 6. The pick goes to Tampa after round 1. - David Nov 28, 14:32 4
      - I think he is a better player than his numbers indicate. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 14:34 3
        
        I think he is exactly what his numbers indicate and an immature brat at that. -- nm - David Nov 28, 14:34 2
        
        (But if we also trade for Justin, I like the deal more.) -- nm - David Nov 28, 14:36 1
        
        I.....agree? - musubi Nov 28, 15:42
  - This is actually a touch less than I was braced for. I was afraid it would 6/96. -- nm - David Nov 28, 14:29 4
    - I still think it's too high for someone who had on OBP under .300 last season. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 28, 14:32 3
      - They're overpaying for his youth and his position scarcity. We've had this problem with CF since Andruw left. -- nm - David Nov 28, 14:35 2
        
        And they're desperate for a right-handed bat, according to people here. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 28, 14:36 1
        
        It's funny that everybody wanted to get rid of Andruw but now we just signed the lesser version of him for the same money. -- nm - David Nov 28, 14:38
I know I'm late on this, but that Brazilian elevator/ghost prank video is hilarious. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 28, 14:24 6
