  - yeah, that defense was oy worthy - ty97 Dec 9, 13:35
  - aye. -- nm - mud the wookie Dec 9, 13:34

ST Opinion poll: Amazon Echo/Echo Dots. Yay or Nay? - Flavorize--strolling through Disney+ Dec 9, 13:07 9
- We have 3 Echos, all grouped as a speaker group. It's great to play music through them all. (The Auto Echo is a waste tho.) - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:25 2
  - why is it a waste? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 9, 13:50 1
    - We literally don't use it for anything. Maybe once or twice - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:30

      - She asked for a book for Christmas that turned out to be one of this year’s toughest gifts to find. -- nm - David, Troll Summoner Dec 9, 13:32
      - I think she ghost writes for him. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 13:00 1

- nslookup? -- nm - BBud-8 Dec 9, 12:44 2
  - *sigh* -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 9, 12:49

  - She's only engaged...so, still time to make your move -- nm - Flavorize--strolling through Disney+ Dec 9, 13:00 2

      - She got tired of waiting for over 3 hours for him. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 13:28

0-6 since this tweet. -- (link) - Strongbad Dec 9, 12:08 4
- The league caught up. They are who we thought they were -- nm - BBud-8 Dec 9, 12:28
- It all came apart--I was just thinking about how their momentum died...feels like the team gave up. They've been playing a ton of young guys too - Flavorize--strolling through Disney+ Dec 9, 12:14 2
  - They are an objectively bad team. It's just reality catching up with them. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:14 1
    - Their DC was the Broncos HC for the last 2 season, I can tell you...he's awful. They don't have the talent, but he's very bad at what he does -- nm - Flavorize--strolling through Disney+ Dec 9, 12:17
Would subscribe to newsletter -- (link) - ty97 Dec 9, 12:02 10

- So cute on B2 how you thought your opinion matters - only deevas does you full -- nm - JackDawson Dec 9, 12:21
- She looks a bit too happy. I am calling joke. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 12:07 4
  - I'm hoping Jimmy is a pilot. -- nm - Max Dec 9, 12:08 3
    - heh. I figure she is there to pick him up from a flight and she thought it would be funny to see his face when he read the sign. - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 12:38 2
      - if they were a thing then she's too along for him not to know already -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 14:14
      - heh -- nm - mud the wookie Dec 9, 12:45
- Julia Stiles -- nm - Max Dec 9, 12:06 2

Dallas Cowboy player Brett Maher went on hospital visits today spent time with some sick kids. Got on the bus with some teammates and... -- (edited) - Remlik Dec 9, 11:56 1
- Should've been cut, right away, after the last game. Kid visit or no, he deserved to go -- nm - Flavorize--strolling through Disney+ Dec 9, 12:02
MLB - Stephen Strasburg’s done deal with the Washington Nationals is for seven years and $245 million -- (link*) - BBud-8 Dec 9, 11:54 22
- Strasburg is 31...this is a Pujols-esque type deal that they'll regret -- nm - Flavorize--strolling through Disney+ Dec 9, 12:59 1
  - It ends at 38...it’s not a Pujols deal. If he ages normally, he’ll be a drain for 2 years. Albert was a drain with 5 years left. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:24
- Holy crap! That's a massive overpay. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:10 1
  - 80mil is deferred (with interest) so it's not quite as crazy-assed absurd - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:29
- I wonder if $260 over seven years would get Cole -- nm - Krustylu Dec 9, 12:04 4
  - Unless Stras is like 150mil defferred, I'd say no. Cole is better outside the margins. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:12 3
    - $280m over 7? That's 40m per -- nm - Krustylu Dec 9, 12:18 2
      - Stras just got the contract Cole was offered by the Yanks. Cole is not-insignicantly better. Ergo.... - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:21 1
        
        $40 a year is crazy money and should be enough -- nm - Krustylu Dec 9, 12:21
- Fuck. -- nm - nubby Dec 9, 11:59 12
  - You thought the Braves would drop that coin? -- nm - Krustylu Dec 9, 12:03 11
    - Oh, no, even though I'd dreamed about it. But it'd be nice not to have to face him so much. -- nm - nubby Dec 9, 12:22 6
      - I get that. I'm rooting for Mookie Betts to be traded to the national league -- nm - Krustylu Dec 9, 12:32 5
        
        How about just out of division? *waggles eyebrows* -- nm - spamlet Dec 9, 12:43 4
        
        Definitely not to you guys. The Good Sox are going to be title contenders in a year or two. I'd rather not see him at all, if possible. - Krustylu Dec 9, 12:53 3
        
        It’d be nice to be good for a change. I don’t really see us landing him. The price will be too high for one year of control and we lack mid-tier guys. -- nm - spamlet Dec 9, 13:12 2
        
        I think you could sell him on that team and the city to stay. -- nm - Krustylu Dec 9, 13:23 1
        
        He wants the choice which means most money. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:25
    - or that someone out of division would. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 12:05 3
      - That's reasonable and I'm a little surprised he's heading back. I didn't think they'd pay him this sum -- nm - Krustylu Dec 9, 12:06 2
        
        He's the original Natinal. They had to keep him. -- nm - David Dec 9, 12:11 1
        
        Well, Zimmmerman is Mr. National but Stras is 2nd. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:13
LIR: That may be the best LDB near-miss I've ever seen though -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 9, 11:52 8
- Why was on it his playlist in the first place (definitely tempting fate/living on the edge) or was it a Spotify, random act of shuffle terrorism? -- nm - Flavorize--strolling through Disney+ Dec 9, 12:04
- I love how Jack will argue to prosecute in any situation - Pippy - shimmer, sequins and glitter bombs Dec 9, 11:58 1
  - He could make himself cry. -- nm - Baron-pum-pum-pum Dec 9, 12:00
- What if you're driving and you hear the first two notes and know what it is but then you drive in tunnel and lose the radio and don't here the song? -- nm - Max Dec 9, 11:54 4
  - If you hear enough of the song to recognize what it is, you’ve heard the song and you’re out. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Dec 9, 11:57 3
    - What if you hear the first part of the song, direct your car into a tree, then wake up in the hospital with no memory of driving the car at all? -- nm - Max Dec 9, 12:07 2
      - Then you wouldn't know you'd heard it. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 12:13 1
        
        So really you want to delay posting "listening to it on the radio now - I'm out" as long as possible in case of convenient amnesia. -- nm - Max Dec 9, 12:21
"He doesn't row." "He doesn't row?" "No, he *doesn't* row." -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 11:51
Cole Hamels isn't Folty, so it's forward progress. - David Dec 9, 11:51 3
- I'm happy Teheran is gone. Hat tip, but time to move on. -- nm - nubby Dec 9, 11:59
- I can't see how Newk or Folty are in your rotation next year. Fans gonna break shit. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 11:55 1
  - Barring a trade, I fear that we're going to make the Folty mistake again. - David Dec 9, 12:03
This is the way. -- nm - Obi-Shaun Kenobi Dec 9, 11:45 1
- [shoots you] -- nm - mud the wookie Dec 9, 11:46
