  1. And I'm moving to questionable... maybe next weekend is better?
  2. I'm in! Now to find my glove... And maybe cleats.
  3. I'm in.... hopefully the weather cooperates.
  4. Very partial to Rokerij... http://www.burningembersphoenix.com/ Not the cheapest place in the world, but we loved it when my wife and I were there...
  5. If you work at a company with an enterprise agreement with MS, you should be able to buy full Office 13 (or the mac equivalent) for $10 through the home use program. I'd ask your IT or HR department if you have that program.
  6. I won the opportunity to purchase tickets, and was initially excited! When did it require you to take out a 2nd mortgage to buy tickets? $55 for loge outfield, and $30 for Terrace Reserved? I may just pass until the 2nd...
  7. Just saw that... I'm out this weekend, but definitely up for something next weekend if folks are around.
  8. This is another place my brain went last night. If there's no drugs listed by his name, perhaps it just wasn't a recent order... just carrying the balance forward from 2011 (when he was caught). This story sucks, but I really can't believe Braun. Why would you go to the guy you know is supplying pro athletes with PEDs for "consulting"? You had to know doing so would create a paper trail tying you to the dealer, and with the strong U of M ties, there's no way he didn't know that he was a dealer.
  9. Of all the consultants available in the United States, Braun chose the one who also happens to sell PEDs to professional athletes?
  10. Count me in! It'd be silly not to attend now that I live here again.
  11. I would love to make a triumphant return to the battlefield! Or drink some beer...
  12. Sorry to hear about your loss Adam... One thing you may want to do is make a prioritized list on who gets paid with whatever income you can find each month. Something like: 1. Food 2. Shelter 3. Transportation 4. Utilities 5. .... If you owe the funeral home anything, I'd put them off for now. Definitely pay them later, but you need to make sure you take care of yourself first. If you have anything of value you can sell, I'd do that too. A car worth more than $4-5k, anything laying around the house... whatever you can.
  13. It is very common. It is also very much in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.... I'd just let it go and move on. It is not urgent... they'll just fish for anyone they can.
  14. It was an odd situation... Mills's contract expires at the end of 2012, and it seemed like the new group wasn't going to renew it so they could bring in their own guy. As a result, I think Mills was managing to win more than managing to develop, to try and make himself look better for his next job. I think Mills will be an excellent manager someday. It'll be interesting to see what he can do with an actual major league roster.
  15. Shoot... Not sure I would have made 10-12, but if anyone has an opening in the fall, I'd love to play again! Just got back to Milwaukee...
  16. Often, incentives are offered to new customers only, meaning existing customers pay a higher rate. By alternating between names, you usually get a better price. We haven't had to do it in a while, as when I call to cancel, they usually match the new customer offers.
  17. Does he even have trade value right now? Coming off a bad season, owed at least $14 million according to Cot's ($11 million for 2012, plus a $3 million buyout), and possibly another $10 million in 2013. Also has a bad history, with that fairly well-known blowup with a reporter in Philly.
  18. If they could have traded Myers as a starter, they probably would have by now. It's a bad contract, but I think it may be easier to move him as a closer than a starter. If nothing else, you leave the door open to trade him to a team that has a need in either role.
  19. Unfortunately, if you don't sign a pick in the top 10 rounds, that slotted value is excluded from your overall pool, so that wouldn't work. You'd still end up over cap. Now, you could negotiate a cheap deal for one of those picks, and use the savings on the other, but you need to actually sign that slot for their money to be available.
  20. I don't think that's totally absurd... His ERA was up, K/9 down, WHIP up from 2010. He wasn't that great in 2011. Plus, they have Wandy, Norris, Duke, Hernandez, Lyles, Happ, Harrell, and perhaps Paul Clemens and Kyle Weiland all in the competition for the 5 starter spots, not counting anyone they could pick up after teams begin cuts. This isn't like moving Gallardo to the pen... While Myers may be among their "best" starters, he's not much better than the pile below him any more, and may be helped a lot by the decreased workload. Plus, they had nobody with experience to close (Lyon doesn't count), so this may solve a few problems. Clear a bit of the SP logjam and get an established closer out of the deal.
  21. There is a Houston suburb named Humble is properly pronounced "umble", but Houston should have the h. /random fact for the day
  22. The southern hemisphere would disagree with your argument. Of course, if you simply flip your globe/atlas/map/laptop upside-down, you'll be all set!
  23. Fly from O' Hare.... for my trips to and from Houston, that's usually half the price.
