I rise above hate.

I'm waiting on darkside to show up to make it even better.

Word. It's almost as bad as those pony ones.

You guys are just jealous. I got this avatar from a great mod who told me to rock this with pride. Jman's pedo avatar though, thats a disgrace to everybody.

If you're going to wear Phils gear, it might as well be that logo and color. I've been tempted to get one of those caps for a while now. Maroon is a sadly underused color nowadays.

ooh, this tc farks guy, I likes. we need some land of make believe , but tc I need you to have an avatar bro. hey! you want to be a consultant?

My company won the Future50 SmartCEO award for the Philadelphia region and they gave us a bunch of swag. Well, my boss won it, but since we're basically a company of four people I have a bit of equity. Anyway, my boss knew I was a big Phillies fan so he let me have the Hoodie and I also got a Mitchell & Ness Duffel bag. It is so totally dope and comfortable. The only thing I don't like is that it's a bit distressed, but it's is very high quality work.

The Phanatic was there during the awards ceremony, but he took off before I got my picture with him : (

Yeah, I really like the color as well. Mitchell & Ness really is bringing style to sports memorabilia, I have to say.

Pretty fuckin nice. I was about to get that last August.

"People have the right to change their mind," Lidge said after the Nationals held their first official workout Tuesday. "They did that and I respect the front office. They've been nothing but unbelievable in my time there and it's a first-class organization, so I don't really have anything bad to say. I just wish they had been more honest early, so I would have known that I couldn't count on them later in the process."

It's business kid, suck it up. Same kind of business that got you to try the market. 'I wish I could have counted on the Phils so I could up my asking price or be my fall back bitch.'

Haha

It would appear that I am the consultant for the Land of Make Believe. And you better believe I'll take my job serious.

/As soon as I see an avatar sized depiction of Theo teabagging Lucchino I'll have one.
//Failing that, a cool wet sack.

 

[h3ro]

Sanjuro, the least you can do is make this guy an avatar.

I mean, hell, you made every single member of Orioles-age an avatar yesterday.

 

[Sanjuro]

King Friday has made you incredibly salty. In my opinion, the way a poor King treats his servants can have a negative side-effect.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Savetofavorites: Ever think about teaching the knuckler to somebody? What do you think you’d look for in a protege?

RA Dickey: Midi-chlorians.

What a badass.

That's awesome. I guess when your last name is Dickey, humor is a useful tool to develop.

So, for the two of you who play Fantasy Baseball competitively, which round do you take the cheater Ryan Braun? You still get 2/3's of a steroid filled season, assuming he gets suspended.

 

[Meohsix]

Felt this needed to be posted.

Zim Bear.
going to be given away on June 29th by the Rays.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'm at work. Best I can do,

Do we know when his suspension is going to happen? I think if it happens later in the year, people will draft him early and then just draft a back up for a month and a half. If his suspension happens right away, I'm assuming he'll be a mid draft pick.

In a couple mock drafts I've done, I've been getting him around round 9 in 10 team league, Roto drafts.

I mean, an Oriole or two are going before him. AN ORIOLE

That's when I suspected him to go. I just know that his stock/round will go up if his suspension is later in the year. I'm not sure why but it seems to happen like that with injured/suspended players or amazing prospects.

Bravo.

Yanks payroll has been stagnant since then though

Pretty sure that was around the time of the Albert Belle years. But man, how the mighty O's have fallen =(

Thanks for this.

Braves payroll has remained largely consistent over the years. Probably won't change much in the future either due to that albatross of a TV contract.

 

[Sanjuro]

Unless they split the money up, Orioles paid Albert Belle around $62 million dollars until 2003 for one season of work.

EDIT: Jango is already on it.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Belle didn't sign with the Orioles until the 1999 season. Current Braves GM Frank Wren was the Orioles GM that signed Belle!

Spoiler

And was fired after the season

Damn, it was 99? Knew it was around that time.

98 must have been the Cal/Brady/Roberto Alomar/Mussina/Palmeiro days. Two steroid users, 2 Hall of Famers, one future hall of famer. Ah, the good old days. Now I get to watch Robert Andino play with that gangsta swag!(at least he crushed Boston)

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Angels have signed Jason Isringhausen to a minor league deal/spring training invite.

Roy Oswalt is expected to sign with someone tomorrow.

Fredi changed his tune, now saying Teheran and Delgado are not bullpen options if they don't make the rotation.

So I heard on the radio Lou Piniella is going to be doing about 30 games for YES Network this year, his first game is with Paul O'neil and Micheal Kay should be fun.

 

[captmcblack]

The Pirates have Indian prospects, though. And from an Indian reality show no less!

How can you be mad at that?

Mets interested in Kazmir. Kill me now.

 

[captmcblack]

Fuck it...get Kazmir, bring back Ollie and find Victor Zambrano is Mexiveneurucubazuelaguay or whereever his broke ass is.

Get the whole band back together!

 

[Fantomex]

I came to ask, will my Dodgers ever be good again?

 

[Jazzy Network]

I'd rather get the great Shawn Estes back. I heard he's good.

 

[bluemax]

I came to ask, will my Dodgers ever be good again?

Yes? Once they get a new owner of course. The NL West is pretty garbage.

 

[clemenx]

I will ask again:

since I live in Venezuela and have never been to new york, do your ecomend me to buy tickets online (stubhub) or buy at the stadium?

Can I go with you? Fellow Venezuelan who has never been to NY! Can't say no.

 

[talisayNon]

I will ask again:

but it the day of you can cop tickets for about 10 dollars.
