I hate SS and I am not really a fan of pensions either. The things I would do to be able to use that SS money for retirement myself.

This thread should be locked during non lunch/dinner times so I am not craving pizza at 9am.
-
Your opinion holds no weight here, sir! Haha, it is okay...but nowhere near best frozen pizza. At the end of the day I still feel like I am eating a cheaper frozen pizza. I will say for the price (which is important in my frozen pizza tastes) it is solid. The crust just seemed forgettable to me. I remember having it for the first time and wrote it off as another thing Chicago ‘burb people think is the greatest thing on earth that is simply normal/average.
-
lol Home Run Inn? That’s the best and no room for improvement? Must have been paid off to write that.
-
Trust me, I know. I have bought Cubs tickets direct or for other entertainment things. 12% in amusement taxes. LOL

There is a reason that hasn't happened...those are the channels everyone wants and they include them with a bunch of trash you don't want so you can pay more. That is one of the nice things about the streaming services...a lot less garbage channels you don't even want.
-
Well...not all of us live in Chicago. So your case is not very comparable to many. Where I live, to get all the channels I would want, I would need to get the middle tier cable package. After adding dumb monthly charges for HD boxes/DVR boxes and upgrading the internet to a faster speed it is about $190. Mind you this is the special intro pricing and it tells you it will be the standard price after the one year contract. I am sure it is notably more post one year. I can not bundle and instead do: internet for about $70 and Hulu Live with DVR/unlimited screens (what I currently have) for like $70. That is a total of $140. I will likely cancel Hulu entirely eventually. I don't watch that much TV and can always go to a family members house to watch the sports...or bar I suppose. As someone else mentioned YouTube has a lot of good content. Which is what I usually watch half the time anyway.

Is it sad I read this and thought, "So like a large?"
-
Yes, that's the one I mentioned in a different thread! They are excellent!!! I bought a couple about a year ago on sale, and loved them! Couldn't remember the actual name, knew it had ZA in it though... I may try one even if not one sale. Sometimes I just stare at the box in awe. Whoever designs the box deserves a raise.
-
Has anyone ever had a Real ‘Za? It looks pretty good on the box and almost got them when my grocery store had them on sale.

At least Dominos uses fresh dough. I am pretty sure Pizza Hut uses frozen pucks these days and it kind of shows. For that reason I definitely think the quality you get at Dominos can greatly vary depending on how well ran the store is ran. Some Dominos are ran badly and it really sheds a bad light on the ones that do good. I have never had Papa Johns or Jet's for that matter. I have typically not heard good things about either. Of course the only Jet's I knew of was in a Chicago 'burb where the people think Chicago pizza is the greatest thing to ever exist. However, I don't think a single Chicago area pie would be anywhere near the Top 10 I have ever had.
-
You know to be honest I actually really like the thin crust at Pizza Hut, no shame. The outer crust is arguably some of the best I have ever eaten and I just can't go wrong getting a pepperoni lovers. Overall it may not be great, but I just have to get it occasionally for those crusty filled bites at the end of every slice. My comparable to toppers sticks is the bread bites at Dominos...they are like gold nuggets of goodness. I like to get Neapolitan pizza sometimes, but that is a type of pizza pretty void in Wisconsin.
-
Always been a fan of the Sammy's in Eau Claire. My personal #1 is Wells Brothers in Racine, which is a bit underrated in the area all things considered. Bill's in Stevens Point is also pretty good. If I am watching a Brewers game you can't go wrong with a good Pizza Ranch buffet!
-
Stopped watching that when they killed more humans than zombies. It really just got boring at that point. Then when Rick and Carl went? Yeah, felt they were integral parts of the show. I always figured I would go back and watch it on Netflix until they went.
-
I mean once you take out all the airfare, travel, hotel, food, and memorabilia you aren't paying a ton for the "experience". They could easily up this cost considering the demand it gets and always sells out. It is nice they keep the price reasonable. However being sticklers about the flights etc. is pretty lame. It would not be that hard to discount someone if they find their own airfare.
-
I disagree that Medeiros was a bust. He brought back Soria in a trade, and Soria was a huge part of the shutdown pen in September that they rode to the playoffs. He has not looked good so far for AA Birmingham in the White Sox system, though. He had an ERA north of 6 in September/October last year and was a human trash can in the NLCS too. Soria was pretty terrible for us and the fact two months of a reliever is all our former #12 could net us is a solid sign he was a bust for us. Not to mention he was pretty expensive on top of that. I mean, sure, he was apart of the shutdown pen. He wasn't the shutdown part of it though.
-
Funny the Brewers probably would have never drafted Yamamoto had it not been for them scouting Medeiros so hard in Hawaii for that 2014 draft. Turns our Yamamoto was the real gem and Medeiros was a total bust.
-
This is something I've thought about for a while now. How much credit/blame goes to the new club for that change? Miami might just not have the same level of scouting, coaching or analytics the Brewers have so the players involved might not perform the same as if they had been with the original club. Would Brinson have struggled the same here as he has there for example? That to me is the one thing we can't know when assessing the success of a trade. Obviously Miami has had success in developing top talent players but how much success has the Jeter era really had? Specifically with Yelich it is important to note he really started tinkering with his swing/stance when he came over here because he was in a new park (and division foe parks) that offered a lot more power potential for him. Increasing his launch angle and power would probably not have had much in the way of insane results in Marlin's Park. I am not sure how much the Brewers truly had to do with that. The odds they were trying to toy with Yelich's batting is really unlikely considering he was already an AS level player etc. Regarding Brinson...yah I think he would have sucked here too.

Christian Yelich - Miami Marlins - 643 Games - 59 HRs Christian Yelich - Milwaukee Brewers - 211 Games - 62 HRs

That really isn't accurate though because one player getting 40 WAR doesn't equal four players collectively getting that. Yearly we could have three guys at league minimum put up 1-1.5 WAR if we wanted to go with what Yelich does. Add that into the equation and Yelich (plus three guys) is probably worth more like 70 WAR. This doesn't take into consideration those four guys after extensions/arbitration are likely to cost more than Yelich if they are all relevant enough to garner 40 WAR together, maybe even exponentially more for the same production Yelich gave us. Realistically to outperform Yelich, and the three guys we pair up with him, those four players will need nearly double the figure you listed. Think about if all those players became even solid starters and went through the entire arbitration system. Each would cost $8mil+ by the end. That $32mil in one year is already half of what we will pay Yelich over his entire 5 year contract. It is way to complicated and impossible to really predict what it will take for them to be of similar value in a statistical/financial sense, but it would take way more than 40 WAR of production. End of the day though I think we got what we wanted (well way more) and what those players become (assuming none become stars) is woefully irrelevant to us. Good chance Yelich doesn't transform into a bonifide star in Miami so what he does he is pretty irrelevant to them. They just need those players to provide value to them now.
-
Hard to compare the two. We didn't trade 4 above average players for Yelich. We traded 4 guys with zero value in the near future that were prospects. We traded away stock essentially. The Marlins bought it hoping their risk would pay off as a big healthy positive investment down the road.
-
I always liked both Diaz and Harrison. Watching Diaz a lot in 2016 I was convinced he was a definite MLB bat some day. He could be a really good player if that HR power translates to the MLB level...and he is having quite a HR year in AAA so far. Monte Harrison was my prospect crush. He is also having a stellar year including 19 SBs with only 1 CS in 43 games, wow. However, we traded those three bats for a reason...all are high risk and all like to strikeout a ton. Which has changed very little since the trade. I think it is very likely Yelich is a free agent and gone before any of those guys make an MLB impact.
-
That was my thought. I'd expect somewhere in the middle to be honest...probably slightly skewed toward the first half if anything. .900ish OPS is what I expect out of him and is what I originally thought was a fair expectation moving to a more hitter friendly environment.
-
Haha I am okay with my hot take That being said, yah, look at our yearly prediction thread. Everyone is stupidly wrong on something. Solid reason why I avoid absolute hate or love hot takes though for the most part.
-
It is crazy how "disappointing" he was in the first half and he then ended up as the runaway MVP favorite by the end of the season. His second half was just unreal. For the first three months he was really no better than he was in Miami. Which was not really the expectation going from Marlins Park to Miller Park. Should be interesting to see how next year goes. Is he actually anywhere close to what he did in the second half? Hard to know what he really is when one half of the season was just goof offensively and the second half was off the charts Barry Bonds.
