  - *leaves room* -- nm - ARod Jun 8, 09:24
- Alex Gordon was a Can't Miss guy too. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 8, 09:12 1
  - He still has a good chance to be an above average regular, maybe even a star. - Subversive Jun 8, 09:32

      - she almost looks Asian. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 09:20
  - I'd say she's looking f-i-n-e. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 09:07 1
    - Also, Kristy Swanson is still my Buffy. SMG never sold me as a valley girl, much less a girl named Buffy. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 09:08
(We have a Tassimo machine at work. It's awesome.) nm - Dignan Jun 8, 09:05
More Ferris Bueller "I did not know this": Richard Edson was the original drummer for Sonic Youth. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 09:04 6

  - I had no idea Simone was Kristy Swanson. "No problem whatsoever." -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 09:09 1

  - I'm vehemently opposed to drafting kindergarteners -- nm - zork Jun 8, 09:24 2
    - unless they're Puerto Rican. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 09:29 1
      - But see this birth certificate says he's five *and a half* ... please to be careful you don't smear the ink -- nm - Puerto Rican little league parent Jun 8, 09:33
  - Fool! The 62nd round is where all the action happens! -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 09:15

- I think Strasburg's already scheduled his appt with Dr James Andrews for Thursday. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 09:05
- PS: If Washington can't sign Strasburg, they probably pick #1 and #2 in the draft next year. -- nm - David Jun 8, 09:05 10
  - And then have to pay $75mil in contracts between Bryce Harper* and Strasburg. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 09:06 9
    - I can't imagine a situation where WAS doesn't sign Strasburg. Boras doesn't want a(nother) Matt Harrison story on his resume. - musubi Jun 8, 09:08 8
      - What's the Matt Harrison story? Are you talking about the guy we traded to Texas for Tex? -- nm - David Jun 8, 09:19 2
        
        Matt Harrington, I think. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 09:22 1
        
        Whoops. Yeah, Harrington. And in Boras' defense, the intial snafu wasn't his. - musubi Jun 8, 09:26
      - Well, if the # is 50mil like he's saying he wants, I think there's a good chance it doesn't happen - Will Hunting Jun 8, 09:09 4
        
        His primary goal here is to break the barrier in order to have the new mark as a jumping off point. - David Jun 8, 09:11 3
        
        Yup. His 50M number is a starting point, so he can let WAS feel like they talked him down. - musubi Jun 8, 09:13
        
        If it's sub-20mil, I can accept that given what we're seeing as Strasburg's level - Will Hunting Jun 8, 09:13 1
        
        Boras-hate is irrational. He almost always gets his clients signed. - musubi Jun 8, 09:16
- /me turns off alarm clock. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 09:05
*shops for $500,000 B1* -- nm - zork Jun 8, 09:03 3
