    I've had U-verse (not the highest end package but one with Showtime/TMC, one wired box, 2 wireless boxes, middle of the road internet) for awhile now. First two years had the new customer package, was paying around $125/month initially. Promotions expired but I happened to be moving. They gave me two more years of a new customer promotion. Each year since then, I let the promotions expire, pay the regular price (usually around $225/month) for a month or two, then tell them it's too much and I'd like to cancel service. Then they give me a new promotion, back down to the promotional price (which has increased slightly to about $140/month). I've been doing this since 2014 and although it's a bit of a pain every year, I think it's worth it because cutting the cord doesn't really save that much in the long run when you add up all the services you want, plus the higher tier internet you would probably need to stream everything. I know other companies sometimes do this when you threaten to cancel but I've heard that it's a bigger headache and some companies even call your bluff. Uverse has basically done it no questions asked.

    Pizza

    Raw Biz replied to homer's topic in Off-Topic Forum

    MooseJaw in the Dells has a pretty good Taco pizza. I suggest getting the thin crust though, as the thick crust is too much dough. That's funny, the best taco pizza I ever had was from the Moosejaw Resort in Park Falls. No relation to the dells though. But they got new owners maybe 10 years ago and I don't think they even make one anymore.

    My wife's favorite is Orv's plain cheese. She says she loves the "powder" on the bottom of the crust. I don't even want to know what that stuff, probably some kind of chemical that makes it cheap enough to sell for $2 each.

    Jack's regular pizzas are not great. However, Jack's rising crust are still my favorite when I want a thicker crust, better than DiGiorno. When I want something thinner, Home Run Inn or Emil's.

    You're right, that flag is pretty horrid. If you're talking about the logo, though .... they changed the seams on the baseball. Whatever. They also tried to center the ball more in the "b" and made the "m" connect with the "b". The ball location now just makes it look off. Looks like something you would see on a cheap Chinese knock-off.

    If Zack Wheeler re-signed, would this be the first time a manager has ever managed a guy he was traded for? I was trying to think of other possibilities but couldn't.

    I know it's "small sample alert" but I never liked Hader with the two inning save starting the 8th.

    Faria has shown nothing in the majors or at AAA to suggest he is anything more than a Wilkerson type player. AAAA guy who has little upside. A low,low,low level move by Stearns. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/fariaja01.shtml 2017 Faria says hello. In addition to a solid 2017, look at his 2018 game log. Reminds me a lot of Peralta. Sure it might be a high ERA on the surface but it was either 5-6 innings of 1 run or less or hit hard. However, it's not like he was giving up 8 runs in 2 innings every time he was hit hard. It looks like he didn't have a long leash and was pulled a few times after giving up a few runs and getting into trouble. If you let him finish those innings, maybe he works out of it and that "3 runs in 2.2 innings" turns into 3 runs in 6 innings. Of course the opposite is true and he could have given up even more runs. But if you said you could trade Aguilar for another Freddy Peralta, would you do it? It looks like that may be what we've done.

    That horse is still twitching. You keep on beating that thing until it's a pulp! Let me ask you, are you satisfied with the rotation right now?? Is it division winning quality to you?? I'll hang up and listen to your answer Dude, you keep saying you want a TOR arm but have you even proposed a plausible trade to obtain one? It's been made abundantly clear that the Mets are nuts and have an insane asking price on Thor. Who knows if Burnes, Hiura, and Turang would even get it done (I definitely would not be making that trade).

    Wouldn't you just be better off with Frosted Flakes if you need to add sugar to corn flakes? You would think but there is entirely too much sugar on Frosted Flakes. It's a fine line but it's there. Corn flakes mixed with another sweet cereal (e.g., Honey Smacks, Golden Crisp) is the bomb!

    what about the year where we were ultra aggressive and took a bunch of high profile HS kids, but none signed. Was that 2011 with Rodon? I think that was 2015 with Johnathan India (1st round 2018), Tristan Beck (4th round 2018), Nolan Kingham (12th round 2018), and Donny Everett (went to Vandy and sadly drowned). Edit: Also looks like they drafted Charlie Donovan, who went on to Michigan and also sadly passed away https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/IL/In-Memory-Of-Charlie-Donovan-One-of-Illinois-All-Time-Greats-7349628510

    And he's also a serial domestic abuser. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2019/04/16/tiger-woods-winning-bettor-criminal-past-domestic-violence/3487724002/ Seems like a nice guy. USA TODAY Sports gave Adducci the opportunity to explain his numerous arrests. "Everyone and their brother can go online and look up anything they want, and I don’t give a (expletive)," Adducci said. "Obviously, I had $85,000 to place toward a bet. I have the ability to make $1.2 million. When was the last time you did that? If you want to get personal, who the hell are you to call me and think you have anything to ask me about anything?"
  14. Raw Biz
    I’ve wondered along these same lines. Hoping someday he makes a return to the site. Maybe they are one and the same?
  15. Raw Biz
    Yup, one of the first drafts where I distinctly remember who I wanted.

    I always viewed Schoop as a streaky guy who needed to play every day. Since he started off on a cold streak, he saw sporadic playing time and could never get it going. With consistent ABs in Minnesota, I think he will again become the .750-.850 OPS guy he was the three years prior. I wouldn't have offered him arby but I would have brought him back on this deal to be the every day 2B. If Arcia could hit like he did in September/October and Pina finds it again (or we get an upgrade), Schoop would've been our worst hitter (and that would have been a good thing). I wish him well.

    From the JS: --It’s rare for a fired coach to be allowed back into the building, let alone to address coaches and players, but Philbin thought it was representative of the organization’s standards – and how they feel about McCarthy. "That’s the Green Bay Packer way, right?” Philbin said. “This is a first-class organization all the way around. I think it’s been that way for 100 seasons, I would guess. I’m not that old, but I’m guessing it’s been like that for a long time. We do things the right way around here. Mark and Russ and Brian were all totally supportive, they think that was the right thing to do, as did I.”-- Ugh. So this must be what it's like to be a Cardinals fan. I don't disagree with what he said but there's gotta be a better way than saying "the Green Bay Packer way". That just oozes douchiness.

    We had a raccoon in the basement once. Somehow it entered from under the house on the outside (we think) and then fell through the ceiling panels in the basement. My dad and I heard a noise and went to investigate. We saw missing ceiling panels and a raccoon staring at us. It ended up hiding behind the entertainment center and somehow we got it out.
  19. Raw Biz
    Decent guess, but nope. If not Jimmy Hart then the other big 80s manager...Mr. Fuji.
  20. Raw Biz
    Lol sorry, but hatchbacks in general bug me. They just look ugly, unless they're on an SUV.
  21. Raw Biz
    He can't even spell names correctly. It's "Burnes", not "Burns". https://www.brewcrewball.com/2018/7/12/17563064/milwaukee-brewers-mid-season-top-30-prospects
  22. Raw Biz
    You may want to Google it... It's usually spelled Occam or Ockham. Yes, this was my point. I didn't want to specifically call you out on your misspelling...
  23. Raw Biz
    LOL, I'm surprised nobody has commented on this yet. I just picture Mr. Olajuwon shaving.

    These are my thoughts exactly. I think Archer will cost too much in terms of prospects. I'd rather send Santana + low-level prospect for Salazar/Kipnis and bring in Darvish/Arrieta. Then, if one of these guys goes down with an injury or turns into Suppan/Garza 2.0(3.0?) down the road, we'd have someone like Burnes/Peralta ready to step in. My fear is we trade away these 2 guys for Archer, sign Darvish/Arrieta and one or both of those guys end up not working out for whatever reason, then we have nobody in the minors even close to their potential ready to step in. I think Burnes/Peralta are our two best arms so I'd rather try to hold on to them at all costs. If TB would take a package centered around Santana/Ortiz (add Ray, low level guy?), then I might pull the trigger. But if we need to include Burnes, I'm out.

    That's fine if you believe that but why? There's questions marks with all four guys we gave up and potentially, none of them could pan out. Sure, there's a chance all of them pan out but how likely is that? The point is, if you're going to make a blanket statement like he got "taken to the cleaners", at least expand on why you think so. For me, I think both sides win. Not every trade needs to have a winner and a loser. Of course one side might "win" a little more but both sides can benefit. We sent a lot of talent out but also a lot of risk. If Yelich performs like he has without even improving, and one of the guys we sent reaches his potential, I think it's a win-win for both. Hardly being "taken to the cleaners."
