Also what the fuck were the Sox thinking about putting Pedro as assistant to GM? He is just as crazy as Manny was.

I like that we have M. Young. I wish it wasnt for that amount of money as his best years are well behind him, but he is a great clubhouse guy and has had one bad season in his career. I dont understand the D. Young one at all. He has never been good. It has always been about him not living up to his hype. Even when he was in shape he wasnt playing to what the scouts thought his potential was. He had one decent series in the playoffs thats it. Not to mention that he is a horrible human. Id rather the Phillies just took the money and shot it out of a cannon at games and had fans try to grab what they could. It would be a lot more entertaining and the fan base would be more happy.

Anyone else hear about the contract Delmon Young got from the Phillies? He has incentives they put in that he needs to be weighed 6 times throughout the season. The first 3 times he has to way 230, the last 3 he can weigh 235. If he hits the marks he will get 300,000 each time. They are paying him to not be a lazy fatass. Only in America.

no talented musicians by default create "talented" music. Talent does not equal good. Good is always an opinion, while talent is not (though it can be argued).

Just because a band is talented doesnt mean they are in any way good. Rush are all amazingly talented in their own right, when they make music together, it fucking blows. Dave Matthews Band, all talented as fuck, but again, when they write together I am bored to death by it. Yanni, again talented as fuck, his music bores me, but he is a sight to see live. Add Mars Volta to this list, Omar may be talented but everything he does is boring as hell. I always wondered why Cedric stuck around him for so long when he could be doing much better stuff.

I sent my payment yesterday to you Ry. Ive been doing this with my friends for quite a few years now and nothing will ever be the worst than when I got all surprise entrants like Honky Tonk Man, Jimmy Snuka and Road Dogg. Fucking worst rumble for me ever.

Ry, what is your paypal email? Ill send the money as soon as you respond, Im too lazy to dig through the thread but I got my account all set up with the right bank account today.

I fell asleep during the 9-10 hour so I missed the figure four, but good god, that GIF is the funniest thing I have seen. I can do a better figure 4 and Ive never trained. As far as the ending of the show, it is exactly what I expected, it is how every pre rumble show ends. Also, Stink pickles.

Am I the only one who isnt a big Steen fan? He isnt a great worker, gets winded waaay too easily, and just acts crazy so people will like him. Id take Jimmy Jacobs over Steen any day of the week. Dear lord, i didnt realize you had to pay extra to meet the wrestlers at Axxcess. So what is Axxcess if you dont spring for the VIP tix to get autographs?

Anyone else just go "holy shit, there is another mod besides Juan and the other guy with the ugly dude avatar?"

Thread did not disappoint.

Sad news about Stan The Man. Always a class act and one of the best hitters of all time.

I was a vegetarian for about 5 months. It went pretty good, but when my girlfriend got pregnant and started eating meat again I went back to it as well. I dont know if I could pull it off now, truth me told, Im not much of a veggie fan. I hate most greens and veggies but I do love fruit.

So I am going to go through this whole thread when I have more time but holy shit Scott, that is incredible! Seriously, congratulations. My goal this year is to become a lot healthier. I have ha a lot of dietary issues my whole life. I was bulimic for three years, then when I hit college I completely overcompensated for it (not to mention that I used to eat a shit ton of food, but just puke it out) so I gained a lot of weight. I went from being 6'4 and about 140 to 250 at my high point. Im now around 240 and according to my doctor is is considered obese, but I am terrified of trying to lose weight and my diet as I am afraid it might bring back the bulimia that I have kept in check.

Wrong thread Ry.

Speaking of which, what happened to Kersey and Bleeding as mods, did they not make the move over?

From my experience on a few boards when they start getting mods and asking people to throw their name in the hat and they dont get chosen they get really upset. Looking at the people that did put in here, I can see a few throwing a pissing contest that they didnt get chosen.

Oh god, shit is gonna fly when people arent selected to be the mods.

But that allready happens now. When people make duplicate threads one is usually locked and Juan puts the link to the other one in there. So you are proposing that we do the same thing that we have been doing? Also, still not going to have a lock until people can post threads, you do realize that they would have to change the coding to do that and that means doing something here, which SRC wont do.

I never thought of Walker being on steroids, I just assumed it was the park. You gotta remember back then they did nothing at all to keep Coors Field in check and didnt use the dehumidifier or keep the balls elsewhere or anything. Everyone was a beast in that stadium. Couple in the fact that Walker got hot, was a good player to begin with and he had a monster year. I wish all contracts had incentives. Instead of paying Arod 30 million every year, make his base be 15 million or whatever, and then put in incentives that if he hits them it goes up. I know quite a few players sign those when coming back from an injury, but I think all contracts should be that way. You would see teams approach them differently (what happens when all your players hit them?) and see players actually giving a damn so they can make all their money. As far as Trout goes and it being his career year, I guess we can only wait. I hear what you are saying. You also want to look at the amount of doubles he had in the minors. Especially at his young age they hit a lot more doubles than homeruns and the doubles are expected to turn into homers as they grow bigger and stronger. He also benefited from having the greatest hitter of his time in his lineup so he would see better pitches in hopes of getting him out so less were on for Pujols.

1) it would be a huge pain in the ass for the mods. Weed through every new post? 2) trying to buy and sell would be a huge pain. How many times have we made great buys from newbs who didnt know what something was worth? 3) It is never going to happen to begin with, we cant even get SRC to fix a fucking quote issue, you really think they are going to do any extra work that you propose here? No fucking way would they.

I think the pay needs to be redone. As you showed, No way Pence is currently worth more than Posey in any way. Pence should be rewarded for what he does now, and not what he did. He should have been paid better in his previous years. Just like you wouldnt give the MVP to someone for something they did in the past, I dont think you should get a contract based on your past either. Im not saying Trout should be making 20 million this year because of last year, but paying him 5 million and paying Mark Texieria 8 million would make a hell of a lot more sense than the current gap between the two.

Except everything he said hadnt been broached with his thoroughness. Yes someone said that with a post count they will post stupid shit. he also made good points as to why we shouldnt do it I.E. Elitism, no one really came here because of someone else on here but stumbled upon it, you wont recognize the person as a newb if they make a good comment, and most importantly, plenty of long time members here are complete asswads.

You guys think the issue here is with people that have under 100 posts??? I cant be the only one that thinks the issue here is with a handful of guys that have well over 1000 posts that do annoying shit, change the topic of threads completely, bitch about everything, think they are better than everyone else and make this place a complete clusterfuck.

The only thing I wonder about is when she says that neither will talk about it again is if that is because this has now moved onto a police matter or not. Either way, a bizarre ending of this.
