Offseason baseball Thread

"Hey, Bob, what could make you sell the team?"
"Nutting"

 

Good point, making the signing look even worse.

 

Just have a floor.

 

See? JC's got useless, repetitive and lazy covered! Now if he could just expand his game a little.

 

Yes, it's me with the repetitive posts.

 

Keith Law pointed out that minus his surge of 10 homers in 20 days in May, he still hit 256 / 353 / 435. That's not awful, and two years, $16M isn't going to kill them. Seems like a reasonable price to pay for a platoon bat, although like Law, I'd rather have Matt Adams for one year, $4M.

 

Darryl Strawberry On Sex Addiction: I Used to Bang Between Innings

 

Actually, it is lazy, useless and repetitive. Please get it right. Thank you.

 

That's one way to keep loose, I suppose.

 

Of course now he's born again and wants to help Lamar Odom. Amazing how these guys get religion -- after they've had all the sex and drugs fun in their 20s and 30s.

 

In the millenials thread, all the middle-aged guys are saying how much they wished they'd done it that way.

 

Yeah, that always irks me.
On the one hand, good for them for getting on the right path eventually. Sometimes you have to go through the darkest of times to find the light, and maybe there's a reason for that. For the right people, it puts them in a position to help others and make the world a better place.
On the other hand, it makes me feel like a bit of a doofus for doing the right things for 40 years. Where's the parade for folks who, against all odds, managed NOT to become sex-addicted crackheads at age 25?
