OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Who Should Close?
« on: October 29, 2016, 10:07:10 PM »
This series isn't over, but I need a distraction to stave off the meatballery.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

The series was indeed not over.

I want them to sign Kenley and Greg Holland.

Hopefully the Dodgers help us out and give Chapman a stupid amount of money. No Aroldis, and no lottery ticket-only bullshit. Get a proven guy to lock down the 9th (or whenever needed in the playoffs, which Kenley more than proved he can handle) and see if you can help him out by taking some fliers around the edges. I'm not a fan of getting only Greg Holland, or putting all their eggs in the Well Let's Just Find Our Own Andrew Miller basket (like Andrew Cashner or some other failed starter).

We all know Jed reads this board. Is that something we know? Never mind.

Dude, TDubbs has crushed Bud Lights with Jed before plowing through a bus load of coeds together.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
