Thank you
If there’s one thing you’re known for, it’s keeping the group on topic.

She needs to go for straighter lines so she looks as thin as she really is.

Why do you insist on making every picture we post of women only about their looks?
Women are NOT just things to look at…they also smell nice and are fun to wrestle with.

I can't wait for the season to begin
much as I find these ST threads a pretty good substitute. Then again, once the season begins I’ll be too busy with my new job to fully participate… sigh

800 postings later...this thread still about Bradley?
Nearly 800 comments means this won’t get read and this may have already been covered, but two thoughts.
1. Baseball is an individual sport. We like to pretend it’s not, but there is rarely a case (situational hitting aside) when an individual’s desire to rack up stats doesn’t help his team.
2. If a guy is hurt don’t we want him to sit on the sidelines if he can’t meaningfully contribute to his team?
Let’s give him a chance. We’ve got him for at least two years anyhow so it does us no good to run him out of town before he even gets here.
