  1. Now we need to lock up Correa and Cole for long term deals and Verlander for 2-3 years.
  2. I also wonder what type of throwing regimen Keuchel is on. How long will it take him to be ready to pitch in a regular season game? I can only imagine his negotiating power is declining by the minute.
  3. Here's an SB Nation article about Dallas Keuchel. MLB Daily Dish - The Tricky Part About Signing Dallas Keuchel
  4. I think a lot to do with that is the current emphasis on pitch framing. Catchers are trying to avoid excessive glove movement in order to improve on framing, but it is costing them in terms of surrendering more passed balls.
  5. I wanted a grad transfer or a true RB1 even before Brown's medical issue, so now I think it is almost a necessity. However, part of me wants to go into the season with what we have now. The optimist in me sees Ingram becoming the feature back we all hope he can be, Young proving last year was a sophomore slump and proving to be a useful RB2 and short-yardage back, Johnson overcoming injuries and winning the Gaskamp award, and Whittington being the reincarnation of Ramonce Taylor. If two or more of those situations come true we could have a special season. I wouldn't put any money on Johnson being able to stay healthy at RB, but he did seem to stay healthy on special teams. Maybe his injury problems are behind him, hopefully for at least one more season. Young wouldn't be the first to have a disappointing second season compared to productive seasons as a freshman, junior and senior. The term "sophomore slump" has been around for a while for good reason. We really need at least two guys to play to their potential. The QB is always going to be an option to run in Herman's offense, but if we can get the RB room up to our standard they should take a lot of the running game responsibility from the QB. We want to run Sam (or any QB for that matter) as little as possible throughout the season to save him for the really important games. If we can get two good players out of Ingram, Young, Johnson, and Whittington that would be great. Adding a fifth player to the group through grad transfer would make finding two good RB's a more likely result though.
  6. He was referring to a scene from the series. There was a book of all the kingsguard and their accomplishments. Joffrey mocked Jaime for only having half a page, with the last mention being that he had killed the king he was supposed to be guarding. Some other guy had four pages about him.
  7. Cersei wins the throne because White Walkers and everyone else kill each other.... .....but then Jamie stabs her in the back and takes the throne with Brienne as his queen.
  8. Connor MacLeod
  9. Or maybe George Clooney will get a big endorsement from Grecian Formula and return. Or Val Kilmer can get on Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig.
  10. Elway is smarter than all of us because he is a Stanford grad.
  11. The question is: What would be a reasonable deal for both the Astros and Verlander? If the Astros and Verlander were to agree to an extension before the end of spring training, what would it look like? What would an extension for Cole look like?
  12. I bet the Astros would gladly give that option year back to him. 1 year, $22M. I also bet they would drop the original requirement that to earn that option year he would have to finish in the top 5 in the Cy Young vote.
  13. Yuli being fully healthy would be a good start. Another thing that will help is having everyone else healthy too. Yuli is very effective batting 5th or 6th in the lineup. However, when he has to move up to 3rd or 4th in the lineup his numbers are not as good.
  14. Tomorrow night, starting at 8:45 are three great movies: The Thin Man, Mrs. Miniver, and The Best Years of Our Lives.
  15. I really like the proposal to expand the roster. With all the specialization, rosters need to be at 26 or 27 players. Also, that would be a pro-active move for the owners to help placate the players union. There are a limited few who are affected by the lack of the huge multi-year contracts that are disappearing, but there are a lot of rank and file union members who would love to see an extra roster spot or two on each team.
  16. That would be AWESOME
  17. Thoughts and prayers to Derrian and his family.
  18. Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steel
  19. Natalie Zea was also good in Hung.
  20. Littlefinger investigating anal probing? Sounds like a combination of proctology and pornography.
  21. And how are the Angels popular in New Mexico? Maybe they accidently put the Angels icon instead of the Arizona Diamondbacks icon?
  22. Like others Old Yeller, Rudy, Forrest Gump, Pursuit of Happyness It's a Wonderful Life The Champ I am Legend - The dog scene Seven Pounds Les Miserables
  23. NFW = North Fort Worth? = 'Nother Fatterson Win?
  24. EJ is out there working himself to death to make sure you get your $9.95 worth.
