      - Silver calculates a 72.4% chance of Kentucky making the final four. Nobody else is higher than 7.4%. -- nm - David Mar 16, 09:02 1

- Jays drafted him out of high school but it was always a long shot. Would have been a lovely lottery ticket. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 16, 08:38
- [deleted] 16
  - well, the Cubs will insist he start the season on the AAA roster, no matter how well he does in Spring. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 16, 08:36 15
    - Yeah, it's only a question of does he come up Tax Day or June 1st. - Will Hunting Mar 16, 08:45
    - [deleted] 13
      - He's going to start at AAA as much as I'd like to see him just go to the majors. He'll probably come up in May. -- nm - pmb Mar 16, 09:04
      - same reason Meyer will start in AAA - groiny Mar 16, 08:41 10
        
        [deleted] 9
        
        I agree with you, it is a big problem with the system. You have to have your best 25 guys on the roster. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 16, 08:55
        
        Yeah, if I can get an extra year for 3 weeks ... I have to as a franchise... - Will Hunting Mar 16, 08:52 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        I think I'd need to know my team's ability to pay for that extra year. - Will Hunting Mar 16, 08:59
        
        it is not even like the Cubs have a legit option to play there over him anyway. - groiny Mar 16, 08:57 4
        
        Olt was supposed to be solid...did he turn into a AAAA guy? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 16, 09:00 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        He did. They're better. He's looking better this spring but not clear if he'll be something. The paper here today was talking about Tommy LaStella - pmb Mar 16, 09:06
        
        yeah, he has had some health issues, and he looked lost last season. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 16, 09:02
      - Well, he's gonna. It's a huge difference. Huge. -- nm - volnelk Mar 16, 08:38

  - The only ice around here is in my mason jar with cool refreshing lemonade in it. I may even turn on the oscillating fan -- nm - CQ Mar 16, 08:19 1
    - I'll be bitching about the heat come late June and wishing I was back by the ocean up north -- nm - CQ Mar 16, 08:21

    - Without a doubt. Like Mel said below. Alanis hit SO big...I mean, it's been awhile and her stuff is not mainstream anymore... - ???? Mar 16, 08:53
    - I definitely think she was. I have no doubt AnR people were sent out looking for the next Alanis and which helped Apple. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 16, 08:50

        I am sure it's a composite to some extent but it wouldn't surprise me if the majority split was in one persons direction. - Mel Profit Mar 16, 08:29 2

Guessing game! My parents are traveling Europe for the entire month of June. How many days are they spending with their son and his wife in London? - icolin Mar 16, 08:02 17

    - well that sucks... - colin Mar 16, 08:32 1
      - Letting it go. - kelly Mar 16, 08:38
  - Hmm. I would not expect my family to do that. The more people you have on a vacation, the more bogged down it seems to get. -- nm - Ultron Mar 16, 08:11 4
    - they've been traveling abroad for years (courtesy of my brother's airline job) and have asked me a ton of times to go... - colin Mar 16, 08:15 3
      - Ouch. Yeah, that changes things. Sorry. My dad was kind of like that for a while. - Ultron Mar 16, 08:18 1
        
        re: IM.. yeah, since that isn't happening, i guess i this is just how it will be. -- nm - colin Mar 16, 08:19

Spawn, my only real concern (other than lack of lease renewal form) is that my super if moving from (literally) underneath my feet. - ty97 Mar 16, 07:33 6
- A client of mine has a super that manages multiple buildings and he does a great job. There was concern about things like shoveling and general - Krusty Mar 16, 07:52
