  1. Ok, I kid, only the clips are worth it. Just go to 1:10 mark. You are welcome.
  2. Store owner told she'll get $1M for selling winning Mega Millions ticket, only she isn't
  3. Morosi: Decision near on whether to post Japanese sensation Tanaka Boom!!!!
  4. Rakuten Golden Eagles To Sign Kevin Youkilis Interesting that he's taking his family with him. Good for him though. He's treating it like a learning experience for his kids.
  5. A thought occurred to me. why would the Dodgers go hard after Tanaka when they have more starting pitchers than they know what to do with. Maybe this Kershaw signing isn't a slam dunk like people think. Greinke and Ryu is a good top 2 on any team. Add Kershaw to it. Or you add a Tanaka to it. If Tanaka can be get for say 6/$140 and the Dodgers offering Kershaw a $300 million contract that he rejected. It just seems odd that Kershaw has a year before FA'cy, and the only talk is a huge megadeal that he rejected.
  6. I wouldn't consider him a closer. If I'm going to pay someone closer money, I'd rather pay Oh Seung-Hwan that I linked earlier.
  7. So now Tanaka can stay in Japan and still have it feel like he's in the Majors.
  8. We paid Blanton $7.5 million a season for 2 seasons. Even if he doesn't come cheap, doesn't mean he's good. 2011 is a long time ago with a shoulder injury. If you sign him, you have to pay him reliever money. either league minimum or $1 million. Definitely not the $5 million a top closer gets.
  9. An Easing of Rules on Charges by Amex Might be back to having good ole cash in the wallet.
  10. Remember when Jered got sent down to keep Jeff on the team.
  11. Country? He's under contractual obligation that the MLB recognizes from another league. Unless they find a loophole like Nomo did, which I think have all been sealed up, if the team doesn't want to post him, they won't. If Trout came out and said, I want to play for the Yankees. Think the Angels will just say, ok, go ahead?
  12. Duck Dynasty's Kay & Phil Robertson Open Up About His Past Infidelity, Alcoholism
  13. Still would pass. If I'm looking for a reliever. Would rather have Oh Seung-Hwan. http://www.mykbo.net/statistics
  14. He coached Soccer. That should have been butch enough.
  15. CBT isn't computed based on opening day. It's based on the season. That's why CBT information comes out after the season is finished.
  16. Trout on the reasonable side. 2014 $5 million 2015 $12 million 2016 $15 million 2017 $18 million 2018 $22 million 2019 $26 million 6 year $96 million $16 million CBT hit Trout on the break arbitration record side 2014 $2 million 2015 $15 million 2016 $18 million 2017 $21 million 2018 $25 million 2019 $30 million 6 years $111 million $18.5 million CBT hit I chose 6 instead of 8-10 because it only buys out 2 years of FA'cy which is probably more preferable to Trout. Unless you go all crazy in those other 2-4 years. But then is the risk really worth it for the Angels? Also, nothing says that after 3 years, you can't extend him those 2-4 years. This gives him solid security now, while not sacrificing much from him in the future.
  17. Report: Owners of Golden State Warriors interested in buying A's All pure speculation. But interesting.
  18. Stand pat. Heck I'm even thinking stand pat now, instead of grossly overpay for #2/3 type pitchers. Use the money to extend Trout. 2015 free agent class. Bailey Scherzer Shields Kershaw
  19. That's because the thieves that stole all the CC information bought a bunch of stock using your card.
  20. 'Duck Dynasty' Star Phil Robertson Also Under Fire for African-American Statements
  21. White Sox To Sign Scott Downs I thought the Angels should re-sign him. But for $4 million, one year. Wow are relievers getting pricey. Thanks in part to the Angels front office that overbid on them. But good for Downs. Hope he does well there.
  22. not I. I think Rakuten really wants to keep Tanaka, and knows that his value on the team is worth more than $20 million. Let's put it this way. If his value was $100+ million in the US. Wouldn't you try to keep him for $7.7 million?
