  1. My experience with Luc was fantastic. Granted it was not at a signing but at spring training the year before he became the full time catcher but we was awesome. My wife and I talked with him for about 20 minutes about the minor leagues and his outlook on the year. He signed a couple balls and a bat for us and was genuinely a pleasure to talk to.
  2. I was there Friday night for the atmosphere show. Other than the fact that it poured right as we got to the grounds for about 35 minutes, it was great. Spent the whole night miserably soaking wet, but Atmosphere was as good as always.
  3. I have never actually had Geiko but did have to deal with them a few years ago because they were the company for the driver that hit my car. Long story short, they were better to work with than I expected especially since they were not my actual carrier. The biggest difference in going with a company like Geiko or Progressive is that you don't have a constant one agent to contact if you need something. I prefer to work with the same agent whenever I need anything and actually still work with an agent out of Milwaukee even though I live in Stevens point. I'm sure you've checked into it but make sure you check into all available discounts before signing up somewhere and make sure you are allowed to make changes whenever you want. I actually have State Farm because they were the cheapest for our two cars, home and umbrella policy combined.
  4. Didn't get the message today. I'll let you know if it pops up again later.
  5. [attachment=0]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372083389.964990.jpg[/attachment] Got this message the past few days logging into the forum from my phone. Not sure if it's an issue with my personal login or something from the bf.net side. Just wanted to post it in case something needs fixing.
  6. I think my favorite part about Segura is the look on his face after making the great play. He smiles like a 12 year old who impresses everyone including himself with his talents.
  7. It's not just Michael Hunt who can't get things right. The blurb below is from the Yahoo fantasy notes for Rickie today. If only Rickie could have gotten a couple more hits he could have had an average over 1.000. Now that would have been newsworthy! "Rickie Weeks is not in Saturday's lineup against the Reds. Advice: With right-hander Homer Bailey starting, the Brewers will continue to go with Scooter Gennett at second base. Weeks is batting .714 (5-for-12) over his last seven games."
  8. I'd rather have Cole myself. I think Wheeler has a better chance of staying up the rest of the season, but Cole has a better chance to earn wins and stats this year. Long term, if it is a keeper league, I'd lean towards Wheeler.
  9. Dean, I might be really confused at your question and if I am I apologize in advance. The Loge Diamond Box is actually just the first 5, I believe it's 5, rows of the Loge infield sections. During most day games both of your listed seat options will be in direct sunlight.
  10. I would have to lean towards Aoki as well. While I think Gomez is the upside play for this season, I would have to take the conservative approach and go with Nori.
  11. Just saw Yuni's mohawk for the first time. Given the tone of the thread so far I couldn't help but picture him animated out as a Garbage Pail Kid card named yuni yunibomber
  12. I have to work tomorrow night so I've already submitted my lineup for tomorrow. I hate having to do it early since you never know who is going to get the random night off but hopefully all of my picks will be good to go.
  13. dnye--got home late from work but did manage to get my lineup in time for tonight's start. I did also send you an invite for a $1 3 player league tonight as well if you happen to see it in time.
  14. fanduel screen name is the same actually. blancofan1
  15. Dyne--I play on fan duel usually two or three days a week already so I am definitely in. I'm on my phone now so I can't pm you (or I just don't know how to) right now but I will get to you later tonight. If you haven't played in a daily league, it's certainly worth giving a shot, especially in a free league. One warning though is during the free MLB extra innings package you may find yourself trying to watch every game possible!
  16. Madgrad--I will be at the game Saturday so I will check then if I can get my hands on some. If not, I definitely do want one.
  17. turbo--I have the JSonline schedule poster from Sunday if you come across an extra opening day magnet otherwise I would be looking to pick up a magnet as well. I actually am looking for last year's as well, since mine was eaten by the new dog last winter if any has an old one laying around.
  18. I agree that most players talk up their deficiencies during spring training and Gomez has certainly talked about raising his OBP for a few years now, but if you actually look at his stats maybe something is starting to click with him. 2011 spring training--1 walk in 63 at bats 2012 spring training--1 walk in 69 at bats 2013 spring training--9 walks in 41 at bats Keep in mind he also had his highest career OBP last season. Now I fully don't expect to see him with that .350 OBP he had talked about in the past, but even an increase to .320 would be great as long is it doesn't lead to a big decline in power.
  19. Any one know if this is being televised anywhere? I'd like to catch some of it between basketball if possible.
  20. Shouldn't someone with the Mets know one way or another if his contract is insured? If it's not, everyone involved in reading and signing off on said contract should never be allowed input on any other financial decision ever again.
  21. Patrick--Totally agree with the CBS Sports new layout. I've personally never been a real fan of their fantasy sites as I don't feel they are anywhere near as user friendly as other sites but the new layout is terrible in my opinion. I don't need the full story for each player, and an additional link to the story again on the other side of the page. The only thing I can think is that they are trying to get more recognition for the actual writers of each story but it certainly is not needed. It took me a few minutes to even find the message board feature for the one league I actually have on CBS.
  22. Some that I use frequently that have not been mentioned yet. Speedtest.net Gmail Hotmail Pandora Shazam Yahoo fantasy sports apps--they do separate apps for each sport Yahoo Sportacular--great scoreboard that covers just about every sport in one place UrbanSpoon Allrecipes FindmyIphone Yelp Two we use when traveling that work really well Taxi Magic AroundMe Tripadvisor City Guides
  23. So Hart was placed on the 15 day DL today retroactive to March 22nd. Is there any reason that they would have only backdated the DL stint to last Friday? Was that the first official day a player could be DL'd? Just doesn't make any sense to me. Per Yahoo Fantasy: Brewers placed 1B Corey Hart on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22, with a right knee injury. Advice: An expected move, as Hart is still in rehab mode from January surgery on his right knee. He should begin baseball activities within the next couple of weeks and the hope is that he'll be ready to return at some point before the end of May. The Brewers were considering placing him on the 60-day DL, so this move indicates that an earlier return hasn't been ruled out.
  24. I know I've heard of people being charged for 911 calls and emergency responders being dispatched, not sure if we will get charged or not. Already called our homeowners insurance and if we do get charged that would be covered after our deductible, which of course is another $1000. I'm actually just really glad that we've had the cold weather this year. Last year we had a big party and cookout for Opening Day complete with a few nights of fires in the backyard firepit. If that would have been this year and there was hundreds of gallons of LP gas leaked out into the ground, we could have easily burned down not only our house but several of the neighbors yards and houses as well.
