@General Malaise

Wait, there's nine more rounds?

That seems...comprehensive.

The best part is by the time we're done, literally 75 minor leaguers who are not in yahoo's system will be drafted and all these dorks will keep "placeholders" on their crap team for 4 months until their schmuck gets called up for a spot start in August. It's the worst league on earth.

Want to come over for dinner this week? I brought back a bunch of fresh shrimp from Galveston

Leaving Thursday morning and I have a dinner mtg tomorrow. Sorry I haven't let you know, but I've been extremely busy on my recent visits. Plus traveling is the rare chance I get to exercise and I know you hate those late dinners. 

 

[shuke]

To follow up on this... I thought I read that they implemented a new rule where the pitcher had to be touching the rubber when he released the ball.

I wish someone would touch my rubber while releasing my ball.

It seems yahoo has had more of them available the past couple years. I've always been against placeholders and would support a rule change banning it.

I have to travel for work about once a month. It's cool to see new/old places but I often have to go with a team, which sucks. I hate people, particularly these ones. So then they ask you to go out, and I have to lie about how I have a friend in the city or suck it up. Blows. Last week I got stuck at a Cuban restaurant in ####### D.C.  

Surrounded by amazing Cuban food at home and I'm eating some yuppie ahole's "take" of the Cuban sandwich. 

I've been to some cool places for work travel (Tokyo,  Nashville, Indy, Louisville, Germany, going to Paris on Friday for a week) but then you end up in a place like Hagerstown, MD or Changchun China and want to kill yourself 

 

[shuke]

 

 

[shuke]

Lol at Indy

 

[cosjobs]

gonna be catty about a shimpf dinner?

 

[shuke]

Bitter Sweet Symphony. Top 100 song ever?  

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Lol at Indy

It was like 1 night a few different times and got the company to pay for St Elmos steakhouse so that's why I listed it

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Bitter Sweet Symphony. Top 100 song ever?  

Top 100 Verve songs maybe

Montgomery for me. Yikes. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

You and the places you've been to work, is a dick. 

 

[shuke]

This bartender has a horrible beard line. Feel like someone should say something to him. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

This bartender has a horrible beard line. Feel like someone should say something to him. 

If his name is Jeff and he's from Saskatoon, let it be.

Otherwise throw a pint glass at him.  Godspeed. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Speaking of work trips, coming back to Alabama @Fat Drunk and Stupid

Mark your time. 

 

[cosjobs]

 throw a pint glass at him.  

Considering where he is, its one of the few times the whole nine yards would be appropriate

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I went to Dublin, CA for work once.

Not as exciting as it sounds.

N'Djamena, Tchad is that same for me.  Except for all the mercenaries I met, of course. 

 

[shuke]

Gotta be one hell of a board meeting.

 

[General Malaise]

19.14 Tyler Naquin Of CLE

20.01 Yoan Moncada ?? Profit

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I have 8 direct reports and 3 open positions. All of them are in Austin except one. At some point the ultimatum may be given, but I'm making it work so far. My bonus this year was incredible. 

$50k?

 

[General Malaise]

Too terrible for the Mariners. I think this is his 15th team. 

That seems impossible for a team that used Russel Branyon as their cleanup hitter. :no spotlight:

He's a very successful money manager in Seattle.  

 

[General Malaise]

Bitter Sweet Symphony. Top 100 song ever?  

God no.  The song they ripped off from the Rolling Stones isn't even a top 100 Stones' song.

 

[General Malaise]

Sorry for the hold-up.  Rec league soccer can be very very serious business at times.  Getting rid of goalies for 2nd grade has created a firestorm, apparently.   #wussificationOfMerica

And take a little walk when the worst is to come
When I saw you looking like I never thought
And say you're at a loss or forgot that words can do more than harm

The town is gonna talk, but these people do not
See things through to the very minimal
But what's it gonna cost to be gone?
If we see you like I hoped we never would

When eyes can't look at you any other way
Any other way, any other way
When eyes can't look at you any other way
Any other way, any other way

So take it as a song or a lesson to learn
And sometime soon be better than you were
If you say you're gonna go, then be careful
And watch how you treat every living soul

My eyes can't look at you any other way
Any other way, any other way
When eyes can't look at you any other way
Any other way, any other way

[Mr. Pickles]

How are you with rubber noses?

 

[Peyton Marino]

let's save the softballs for the interview, thanks

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I'm not sure you're Vandalay material. 

 

[Chemical X]

I'm not sure you're Vandalay material.

Does this mean I sniped you or it's a horrible pick?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Does this mean I sniped you or it's a horrible pick?

Could be both 

 

[Capella]

Does this mean I sniped you or it's a horrible pick?

Definitely the latter

I'm going to be as honest as I can here. It's a horse#### pick.

Its a rare thing to have the worst pick of the draft in the 20th round, but I think this one may qualify.
