I am irritated with sites that won't let you navigate them if you have ad blocker on. Forbes, for instance. - Mop Dec 7, 14:56 3
- Plus they (specifically) have served up malware in their ads in the past. That landing page is a joke. -- nm - spamlet Dec 7, 15:06
- I may be misunderstanding it but if sites get paid by pageload then they're insisting they get paid even though I have no interest in the ad/product. - Max Dec 7, 15:00
- They aren't interested in you as a user. -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 14:58
"Winter Storm Caly". That's a thing now. Deal with it. -- nm - Mop Dec 7, 14:54

- No. -- nm - Krusty Dec 7, 15:06
- [deleted] 3
  - Absolutely. The House passed a CR with a few amendments that Sen. Gillebrand has threatened to filibuster when it arrives in the Senate on Friday. - ReluctantCynic Dec 7, 15:10 2
    - The Democrats aren't that dumb. They're not going to shut the down the government after losing last month. - spamlet Dec 7, 15:12 1
      - I don't think the hurdles/roadblocks being put up are enough to push the Democrats into killing the CR. - ReluctantCynic Dec 7, 16:16
- I really don't see it happening. They'll kick to February and pass new legislation then. -- nm - spamlet Dec 7, 15:05
- I don't see it. - znufrii Dec 7, 15:01 3
  - Roll Call and Politico seem to be more focused on the topic than other media. - ReluctantCynic Dec 7, 15:14 2
    - Thanks. And as a side note... - znufrii Dec 7, 15:26 1
      - Well, thank you, too. - ReluctantCynic Dec 7, 16:15
- I'm not sure that's a bad thing anymore [/sarcasm] -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 14:58
- ::gets "rise above" pin ready for a re-airing:: -- nm - b. Dec 7, 14:56
- At this point, I am hoping for it. -- nm - GregW Dec 7, 14:56

- a lot of the UK googled' what is Brexit' the day after they voted on it. we're not alone :( -- nm* - Peglegpete Dec 7, 15:09
- Well, it really is sort of a joke. The Founders designed the Electoral College to prevent what only the Electoral College is now enabling. - crash davis Dec 7, 14:39 1
  - I'm seriously considering asking someone to read Federalist No. 68 to the entire Electoral College the day before they cast their votes. - ReluctantCynic Dec 7, 14:44
Brian Snitker: Braves are considering using an 8 man bullpen in 2017 due to the versatility of their expected position players. -- nm* - Strongbad Dec 7, 14:34
If that trade goes through, Hahn's best deal as GM was acquiring Eaton, and his next best deal - groiny Dec 7, 14:33 6
- I can only assume they have Kenny tied up and drugged somewhere. -- nm - iSpam Dec 7, 14:40 5
  - poor Rick Renteria, he must have some major flashbacks right now. -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 14:44 1
    - For once I don't mind them copying the Cubs. -- nm - spamlet Dec 7, 15:05
  - I am sure somehow we are gonna end up with Bautista - groiny Dec 7, 14:41 2
    - Duquette was interviewed about Bautista and said no interest, our fans hate him. I loved it. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 14:42 1
      - If he played well the fans would love him. We're a fickle bunch. -- nm - Krusty Dec 7, 15:10
Worth polling about? As resident fanboys, should David and I bet on the Music City Bowl? And if so, what should be the nature of the bet? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 7, 14:25 9
- Yes and if I could have planned this I would be there for the game -- nm - J Dec 7, 17:58
- Both of your teams were a combined 12-0 at one point and then finished 5-7 - eag Dec 7, 14:40 1
  - Yes. Because this is one of those games where I actually wish both teams could win. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 7, 14:45
- Winner gets to pick the loser's BF kicker. -- nm - David Dec 7, 14:26 5
  - I think this is a frickin' brilliant idea. I was also considering bringing back the "write a letter of apology" thing. - ReluctantCynic Dec 7, 14:40
  - Fantasy team names. Winner picks the losers. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 7, 14:40
  - Are you trying to make RC want to lose? -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 14:34
  - In round 8 -- nm - JD Dec 7, 14:33 1
    - good idea, but lets kick it up a notch, round7 -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 14:34
The White Sox just acquired the #1 and #3 overall prospects on consecutive days. - David Dec 7, 14:22 22
- That's a steal for Chicago. Eaton isn't anything special but they got some high quality pieces for him. - Krusty Dec 7, 14:53 11
  - lol, you need to get out of NY a bit Krusty. -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 14:54 10
    - He's good but no way is he worth what they gave up. He doesn't hit for a high average but .284 is still good these days, 14 HR from an outfielder is -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 7, 15:04 9
      - What I will say is if that is the current market for moderate CFers, I hope we deal Inciarte in five minutes. -- nm - David's iPad Dec 7, 15:09 7
        
        Haha! -- nm - Krusty Dec 7, 15:11
        
        (but fantastic RFers) - spamlet Dec 7, 15:10 5
        
        OF WAR last year was: Trout, Bryant, Betts, Eaton. -- (link) - spamlet Dec 7, 15:17 4
        
        This is a strong argument against the way WAR is calculated. -- nm - David's iPad Dec 7, 15:18 3
        
        Plus he hit a grand slam *while blowing a bubble*. That's worth a couple WAR at least. -- nm - spamlet Dec 7, 15:23
        
        You didn't watch him last year. He was Gold Glove level in RF. -- nm - spamlet Dec 7, 15:21 1
        
        Sure I did. He's a decent corner OFer who can play center. -- nm* - David's iPad Dec 7, 15:23
      - And I watch a lot of teams throughout the year. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 7, 15:06
- Like Touki, I am not sold on Lucas. - Will Hunting Dec 7, 14:40 4
  - Touki's taken huge steps for the Braves. To a larger point, he was in low-A ball. LG has pitched in the bigs already. -- nm - David Dec 7, 14:46 3
    - Yeah, but he is a bit older so...he is a strong arm but inconsistent - Will Hunting Dec 7, 14:48 2
      - I think that's a real possibility, but I still hate this trade for the Nats. -- nm - David Dec 7, 14:58 1
        
        (Shelby Miller II) -- nm - David Dec 7, 14:58
- #2 prospect is sad. -- nm - Mop Dec 7, 14:34 3
  - I don't think anyone will be trading for him though. -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 14:35 2
    - Don't you want to keep the set complete? -- nm - Mop Dec 7, 14:44 1
      - sure, but it is like a million to one. -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 14:44
- more importantly, for me, is they replaced Sale with 4 minor league pitchers. -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 14:23
ML, it actually would have been higher had we not had to keep moving him to CF. He's a legit gold glove RFer. - spamlet Dec 7, 14:18
I guess they would rather overpay for Eaton than McCutchen. -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 14:17 1
- If Eaton is legit, assuming each WAR is worth about 7-8mil, he replicates this season...it's found money. - Will Hunting Dec 7, 14:39
first for PBS Hermaphrodites -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 14:16 4

  - follow this link down -- (link) - crash davis Dec 7, 14:27 [Backboard] 2
    - *shuffle, skip, kick* *shuffle, skip, kick* nothing to see there... -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 7, 14:28 1
      - So when you're watching the Great British Baking Show on PBS ... - ReluctantCynic Dec 7, 14:47
