The Swamp

mister d

I feel sad for Archer.

mister d

Right, Chapman is a dick who needs to know he's the 9th inning closer and for some reason the Yankees cater to that so its really just about the 6th-8th. Yankees needed a lefty because Shreve's numbers are fine but he's unreliable at the biggest times, Britton was the best value bet out there and co...

mister d

Agreed on Donaldson, but the RP market will always be hot at the deadline because its the one position where every single team in contention could see an instant upgrade. No one's 7th best reliever is better than Brad Hand so Brad Hand's market is everyone and you can find the most desperate.

mister d

Did not see a Pham trade coming, especially not for a seemingly unimpressive return.

mister d

Picture yourself in your underwear.

We learned that roofers are insanely literal about being ROOFers. Anything sub-roof level is a totally different ask (and contract).

mister d

A few predictions for today ... 1. Archer gets dealt and is a difference maker. 2. If Harper does get traded, its going to end up not costing the acquiring team that much in retrospect. Everything would have to move so quickly that the return will likely be a top prospect that's fallen out of favor,...

Dems 2018: "We Will Act Exceedingly and Embarrassingly in Good Faith, Even if it Kills You"

mister d

Is this literal or figurative?

mister d

Right, and the best way to get a wildly-and-uncommonly loyal boss to turn on you is to do something that's perceived as disloyal. Its not my style, but I get there are plenty that feel that way.

mister d

I think that changes things. If he's a good boss who has really good unwritten rules, you maybe accept the bad unwritten rules.

My City cred, which is near zero to begin with, took another hit when I met the son-in-law and grandson of Dave Watson this weekend and blank stared back. Someone with perspective, give me the Yankee equivalent here. Graig Nettles? Willie Randolph?

His kids aren't 8 feet tall.

That was quick.

mister d

Not going to pretend I understand dumping Adam Warren for nothing but int'l pool money unless there's another trading coming that's going to bump them right up against the luxury tax.

mister d

Sooo ... what's the angle here?

Haters only make New England sports fans stronger. Don't fall for it.

Before I learned the difference, The Byrds had a lot of my favorite Beatles songs. But not my favorite Beatles song overall. That was The Kinks.

One of the smartest and most free-thinking dudes in my graduating class has been a mailman for long time. That’s my strong endorsement for saying “yes”.

mister d

Flat out shouldn’t be allowed.

I thought his response made him no better. When they go low, he should go high. Reach across the aisle.

mister d

LOL Caps.

mister d

In but let’s make it one pick per week?

mister d

Whoa there.

mister d

This has been a very difficult week for me here.

Just because Bovada dips out all the time, here's the O/U points and odds to win ... Manchester City: 86.5 (-150) Liverpool: 80.5 (+400) Manchester United: 76.5 (+750) Tottenham Hotspur: 74.5 (+1,600) Chelsea: 73.5 (+1,200) Arsenal: 70.5 (+2,500) Everton: 52.5 (+20,000) Wolverhampton Wanderers: 48.5...

mister d

+3,300 on Liverpool to win and Aubameyang as top goal scorer looks cool too.

mister d

Checking out the futures and thinking I might want to find a book here because I don't see why Liverpool isn't right around co-favorites. The City/Liverpool +400 and Liverpool/City +700 looks like a good one to balance each side of the bet on. Also, the odds to finish top 6 are great, #6 is -500 and...

mister d

Also my prediction is a lot more goals allowed by City this season. They seem susceptible to age and/or depth at CB and defensive mid.

mister d

I'd like him to not be out because then Pep would have to infect the brain of a new manager.

mister d

As a present day 39 year old, dating a 19 year old would seem kinda gross.

He could personally bomb Portland while wearing a full Russian national team kit and congress wouldn't charge him with treason.

D...D

mister d

You can change like 2 or 3 words there and it describes why I stopped being an Eagles fan.

mister d

Over the past ~decade I have liked about 90% of the Yankees deals and hated about 90% of the Rangers deals, netting me out to one very objective fan. And this Happ deal is great; I don't love him much at all but I like Wade more than Drury anyway and McKinney would have never gotten a shot at the ma...

mister d

Ok now I'm on the other side.

mister d

Yup. Defeat them now, fully and completely and without apology, and then if you regain power work to rebuild the lives they should have been on track for a generation or two ago.

mister d

That might even be part of it. For the most part, I don't like bands changing up from whatever first caught me.
