Blue Train

Apparently the Dodgers are interested in David Price. He's two years away from free agency. Even with arbitration he shouldn't come near the idiotic amount Lincecum received. Unless they just give him a long term deal. A broken-down Linecum (that no other team even made an offer to him) who should not be a starter anymore, or David Price for a lot less money? When polled current players picked David Price 2nd to Clayton Kershaw as active pitchers they would want to pitch one game. Though, if someone like Linencum is getting $17.5 per year.....what do they give Price? Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Price would be a pretty daunting 1-3. P.S. Rumors are the Rangers and Yankees are also interested in Price. Checking the farm systems rankings.....the order of systems is Rangers, Yankees, and Dodgers for those rumored. P.P.S. Everyone talks about Linecum losing velocity being the problem. Yes, he's lost 3-5 mph....but his biggest problem is he can't find the strike zone to save his life. He has only had a total of 3 games since the start of in all of 2011 and 2012 that he's had more than 50% of his pitches in the strike zone. His highest being 52.5%. Still trying to hunt down for 2013. Considering his record....not expecting it will be any different for 2013.

I think they're making a point; especially about him. There was also the Washington City lawsuit which he ended up dropping, Hilarious part is he filed the lawsuit in NYC and not DC. http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2011/02/02/snyder-sues/ http://deadspin.com/5750980/dan-snyder-cries-anti+semitism-in-letter-that-manages-to-be-racist

Giants continue with the bad contracts. Once again bidding against themselves. Linecum - 2 years for $35 million (and a no trade clause!) for someone that has't had a winning record in 3 seasons. Any other team even willing to give him more than $10 to 15 for two years? That's following the last two years he was paid $40.5 million to stink up the joint. Anyone know if a team has given so much previously to any pitcher with this bad of a record over three years...especially the last two years? Two years isn't a fluke. Giants management really doing their best to go back to normal for the Giants. 70% sure Mattingly is gone. He threw a high inside pitch @ his last news conference with the GM there. Dodgers fired the bench coach in response.

The moment the Evil Empire made it.....it became annoying. Two oldest siblings and cousins from MA/Boston can't stop sending me and others stuff! All good fun, but still!

Sixers traded for Andrew (bad knee, but I am going to still bowl) Bynum who never played a game for them before he took his "services" to Cleveland (you can't make this up!)....hey, he at least had the Afro! Sixers then traded Jrue Holiday in a trade with the Pelicans for a very one dimensional Nerlens Noel....who blew out his ACL in February of this year. He's now not expected to play anytime this season. His knee is so bad that even him waiting a year and playing in Feb. 2014, but still this season is too much. Noel does have the Kid N' Play Hi-top fade. Just how many millions for two players that haven't played a single game for the Sixers?

@ this point it's what you want. If only the Colts didn't win....it would have been a perfect weekend. Richardson still looking like disaster of a trade for the Colts.

All I need to know is they're not the Evil Empire.

Jim Leyland is retiring.

That's because Manfred Eicher wasn't involved in producing it. So there isn't his usual emo-coma mode! As in, you basically confirmed what everyone has a problem with ECM/him. Well, yeah, but he issued it, didn't he? Yes, and if he only stayed away from producing another one.....and just limited it to releasing them.

You're okay with the team with the 4th highest payroll buying their 3rd WC?

It's a software issue as a result of the mess of this boards quoting system. Try re-downloading it....if that doesn't work....it's this board's software. Having said that...why even use IE?

John Idzik also has him on a really tight leash as well....and he knows it will be a good while if ever that anyone hires him to be a HC again. What do you expect from anything involving Jeff Fisher but mediocrity @ best? It's like no one has really checked his record. Bud Adams died. R.I.P.

Thank you for your post. Reading this makes it even more depressing than I already thought.

I know a lot of people like the lake trout but you can't think of MD and not think of something with crab. Didn't they make one of the crab sandwiches the state sandwich?

Sent a pm.

Typo, but if your serious and not knowing....it should have been pwneds.

If it interests you....the reason I chose Blue Train.....my mother's 2nd favorite jazz recording. Saxophone Colossus was her favorite....but seriously, how do I get away with that as a handle? Still breaking the the no funny rule, but still relevant to the conversation. Keep on the BeBopping!

First off from reading that. What Jim S said! Makes you feel better, I actually know SIFI....and no, I don't mean Star Wars, Star Trek, etc....I do know them as well... CMS version http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037026931200857X The Atlas version and no Comic Sans! http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037026931200857X Sorry for breaking the funny request... What Jim S said again!

Not wanting to start another Armageddon, but "The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society" & "Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)" Nuff said for me.

Twin Peaks...barely 2. When I got around to watching the (TDGEB) Lara Flynn Boyle before she got anorexic & Sherilyn Fenn. Creepy factor....only the first was younger than my mother.

I want to like it with Spader involved, but how obvious can he make it to her?

You think? Sorry for swinging @ that softball.
