        Sounds like CJ Wilson is being a Big Puss!!! He needs to just go out there and pitch!!! What a Punk! Joe Mauer will be next to Go on the DL for a broken toenail. This B.S. has got to stop!!! NOW!!! This is why we do not pay $20 Million per year to players. we need to go back to 1972 Pay standards. Our game is completely ruined by this crap…..

        I love the "we" part on the pay standards.

        Just have the players recite the oath:

        I will endure to be burned, to be bound, to be beaten, and to be killed by the sword.

          1. I was tempted to read it as sarcastic trolling, but it just too perfectly emulates the Stribber perspective not to be genuine. Plus, as cheaps notes, it was posted twice. Gotta be a Stribber type.

        1. It was so good it had to get posted twice (and with a strange slight change to "big puss").

  1. News!

    1. I saw that last night and was rolling in laughter because I imagine Molly saying that in deadpan speak.

      Also this from Bernandino's post game

      Even before McClendon was thrown out for arguing a check-swing call with Suzuki batting in the ninth, Molitor was trying to get the attention of third-base coach Gene Glynn.

      The reason: He wanted to let Rosario know he should try to steal third, even with two outs, against a pitcher who had already uncorked a pair of wild pitches in the frame.

      “That’s not a normal situation to steal third, with two outs,” Molitor said. “Given the situation and the heightened intensity of that inning, they weren’t particularly paying a lot of attention to (Rosario). You don’t want to get thrown out there to end the inning when you’re the potential winning run, but (Smith) had thrown a couple wild pitches and that might change what he does if you get over there.”

      I'm happy Molitor is the manager of the Twins

  2. I set up an EPL Fantasy League. I know we had one 2 seasons ago, but not last year. Website here. League code: 1381031-325701

    Rosters for week 1 set on August 8 at 5:45am Central, so you've got less than a week to avoid starting from behind. Also, as creator/Commissioner, I reserve the right to dock anyone 1,000,000 points for selecting John Terry to his squad.

    I assugrey that Mags will be creating his usual table as well.

    1. Y'all can just put me atop the EPL pick'em table again. No need to play out the season... What with my prodigious knowledge of soccer across the pond...

  3. Mags, do you or the roommate ever babysit? I'm looking for a little help while I'm at home--it would just be playing with the boys (ages 2 and almost 5). Not a regular gig, but I could use a little extra help at the moment.
