That does not sound like my glowing Garrett Richards endorsement from last season, which, frankly, I don't think I received enough credit for.

Careful, you might sprain your shoulder reaching around to pat yourself on the back there, Smackie.

That's why I always use my right arm to pat myself on the back. I never use my pitching arm.

God, I can't keep giving you these free lessons so quit screwin' around and help me up.

Can we please do a TAN thread about how Edible Arrangements is the stupidest, most backhandedly eff you gift ever? NO ONE EATS THE DAMN THING and it gets thrown away after two weeks completely untouched. Total waste of money. Will someone indulge me in this conversation?

Why don't we just cut out the middle man and each set $60 on fire and skip the part where we take the thing out to the dumpster?

true story: i had a really nice roommate in college whos dad worked at a major airline.  since i flew to/from school, he would hook me up with cheap standby tickets all the time.  i truly appreciated it, and sent his family an edible arrangement as a thank you. 

granted i was 18, 19, 20 years old when i did this, but looking back, i really thought i was doing something nice to show my appreciation. 

I mean, it's the thought that counts, absolutely. But it is a terrible gift. We get one a month at work from vendors and the things are literally never touched.

i wouldn't buy shit from those vendors.

disqualifed bid: sends too many edible arrangments.  fiscally irresponsible.

There's one in my fridge here at the office and it's been there all week.  One piece of fruit is gone. #truestory

It's a keeper league, right?  I will extract one glass of alcohol a year from you, for every year you reap the rewards from the Angels ace, but only in person.

I know no one else was probably watching the Tigers/White Sox game, but Ventura should literally be fired for not challenging that call.

Chris Bryant has 3 strikeouts and the game isn't even over yet. Point is, he sucks at baseball.

I am shocked that Maddon gave his rookie the clean up spot on his MLB debut.  Maddon deserves what he has gotten for that decision.

i was following the game track and saw a picture… yikes.

detroit looking nasty, even w/o vmart. 

enjoy yoenis.  you'll get 3 strikeouts per game, which makes him the worst baseball player ever, on par with kris bryant and bryce harper, but every now and then he'll pretty much win a game for you by himself.

it's not a full dynasty league.  he wasn't one of my 7 keepers.

I've seen him win an entire series.  In person.  I'm glad he's no longer in the AL West.

I mean, I'm a Tigers fan and even I'll admit he was out. To not even challenge it, when you still have a challenge, IN THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH?! I mean, that is just pure dereliction of duties.

I knew the lineup would be pretty good but the pitching staff is so far ahead of even the rosiest projections it's crazy.

Mike Trout,  at age 23,  the youngest player ever with 100 101 HR's and 100 Stolen Bases. 

I think he's going to be pretty good.
