Oh btw: I came across my wife’s high school yearbook. Some dork was so shy about asking her out that he wrote in her yearbook that he wanted her to email him. cyprior2004@yahoo.com. Oh, wait, that was me. Did she ever email? https://i.gifer.com/10t5.gif Yeah. We setup our first date through email.

When I first hired on with my company out of school I was put in a 6-month training program with 31 other new hires. For 6 months everybody lived at a hotel across the street from company headquarters. I was like, “no way I’m doing that.” I signed a 6-month lease for an apartment instead. 30 of the...

I work from home answering technical questions for our customers through a call line. I absolutely love having my basement office where I get to control the thermostat, put whatever I want on TV, play with my kids toys (miniature hockey, basketball, etc). And on Monday and Friday the wife and kids ...

During the NLCS that year, when frustrating things would happen, my wife would occasionally hand me my 4 month old daughter to hold to sort of calm me down. I noticed that whenever I was holding her, good things would happen. Of course this was coincidental, but just in case, I wasn't going to mess...

My brother and I attended Game 6 NLCS. While driving up we discussed what we wanted to happen if we could pick. We didn’t want drama. Just a nice, easy quick lead and shutdown pitching and a giant party counting down the outs with no stress. And then that’s what happened. Best atmosphere game I’ve e...

I make my kids watch trains and nature videos on YouTube. They’re always mesmerized. Then my wife decided to start introducing cartoons for some stupid reason. They were happy. I wasn’t annoyed. Why change things?

Barring circumstances much worse than this last season, I am fully expecting 100 wins next season.

https://twitter.com/basebailking/status/1050164359299850240 When I was 13 I was walking down the sidewalk in St Louis before a Cubs/Cardinals game. I noticed Angel Hernandez was walking towards me. I very creatively said, “Hey, Angel! You suck!” Amazing I know. But seriously, if the 13 year olds re...

This is a good one too. I got 194.

I got 67, and wow was I pretty annoyed at some of the names I forgot.

I’m pretty sure it’s a Mobile Safari issue that keeps getting worse across many websites. Fangraphs was also the first place I started seeing it frequently.

https://media.giphy.com/media/oskoZyFO0II2Q/giphy.gif Yes, I know. And if we sign Harper I’m still going to be excited about it. I’m not vehemently opposed. So if you're against signing Harper then you're basically against any large contract for a significant FA. The Darvish deal can still work out...

Like you don’t want him or don’t think we get him? Don’t want him because I’m a big fraidy cat who thinks every big contract we sign is going to hamstring us when their shoulder or wrist or knee gives out. https://media.giphy.com/media/oskoZyFO0II2Q/giphy.gif Yes, I know. And if we sign Harper I’m ...

I was able to find the link on the Facebook page. Whole thing is on there.

Short of “Chili Davis is fired” I’m hearing pretty much exactly what I was hoping to hear.

On the record as no for Harper.

1. A’s
2. Indians
3. Rockies
4. Brewers
5. Dodgers
6. Braves
7. Red Sox
8. Yankees
9. Astros

Regional divisions. Blow up the AL/NL. I want to hate the Cardinals, Brewers and White Sox.

For the 800th time, 94 or 95 wins is not blowing the division. Especially when it’s due in large part to one player on a different team going Barry Bonds mode. We survived Carpenter going Bonds mode, and we may survive Yelich as well. Not to mention the injuries. Nobody is blowing anything. 800 tim...
