Her's for the hope that TLR proves to be an insufferable jerk, but the Cards do win it in 6...

Question for you guys....

Does anyone have one of those single-serve coffee machine things?? I want to get one for my husband for Christmas but have no clue what to go with…

Oh my in-laws have a good one

can’t remember the name of it.

Buying the coffee caps is annoying.

Get a real coffee machine

well he has one, but keeps going on about how nice it would be to have one of those that makes the fancy coffees. I don’t know, I’m a tea drinker and dislike coffee so I have no clue

I like that Aerobie AeroPress

That thing is cheap, easy and makes a great cupa.

My friend has one and he won’t shut up about it.

The coffee pods are very good and the machine is super simple to use

I would like one too if I didn't have a good machine

They make great coffee. The only thing they don’t do well is froth the milk. That involves a separate doohicky that I’ve never tried.

Texas is in a bit of trouble already. Not that they can’t come back but still it is a strange series so far.

No, maybe Darvish though.

by JaysSaskatchewan on Oct 20, 2011 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

I hope so :) Some of his youtube videos look pretty good.

Has anyone considered adding Votto yet?

by JaysSaskatchewan on Oct 20, 2011 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

Could be as early as Oct. 26, assuming a Cardinals sweep (trades can happen 3 days after??)

I can’t see CC leaving the Yankees.

by JaysSaskatchewan on Oct 20, 2011 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

I just don’t see him getting to free agency. I think the Yankees extend him first.

guys, Cardinals fan here.

thank you for Scrabble, very much.

absolutely loved him and still think he is going to be phenomenal.

hope he is too- guy deserves a chance to thrive.

What did you think of the trade when it happened?

by JaysSaskatchewan on Oct 20, 2011 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

honestly?

was beside myself. thought it was an awful trade for us, and that AA fleeced us. I still tend to feel that way, a little less so now that we’ve seen what Scrabble’s like. but seriously, nobody could have predicted Dotel would pitch the way he did…

You probably didn’t think it would lead to the World Series either :)

by JaysSaskatchewan on Oct 20, 2011 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

certainly did not

and gotta attribute that to some luck too, but it’s awesome. it’s definitely worked out very well this season, but most of us at VEB though it was an upgrade for this season and a dramatic downgrade beyond that- and I think that’s still where we are.

You should get some good draft picks too.

Talked to an agent tonight who thinks a Yu Darvish posting fee would be $50MM, and then a five-year, $75MM contract.

posting fee sounds okay. The contract is too high considering Darvish has no leverage.

by JaysSaskatchewan on Oct 20, 2011 11:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think he is pretty close,

I ws thinking 45 mil and about that 15 a year
