    I tried to watch but the country killed me. Still want to thank you, though, since as I typed Margo into YouTube up popped Margot Robbie and that is never a bad thing to look at for a few minutes

    World Cafe is a solid venue, both up- and downstairs.

    Nah, man, Midwest Farmer's Daughter is a pretty fantastic album - Hurting on The Bottle, Hands of Time, Desperate and Depressed....Listening to that album with a joint is a helluva way to relax; the duet she does with Jack White on I'm Lonely But Not Lonely Yet. Now I'm pumped for tonight. Would love to see her when she plays with John Prine next week.

    Any of you fucknuts ever had an ear infection as an adult? It is the absolute fucking worst. I have been pretty much crippled since Thursday afternoon. Now my other ear is closing up, I assume because it has had so much fucking pressure on it for so long. Can't hear shit. This sucks.

    As sure as I can be. Been to the docs twice. Brutal. Pain is pretty much gone at this point. Just have so much crap in my ears I can't hear.

    I have never had anything with sinuses. Docs seemed pretty sure it was an infection. Do you get nasty shit in your ears from sinuses?

    i don't get filled with stuff per se but i get the pressure and makes it harder to hear at times. sometimes popping my ears can help it a little but not a ton. probably not explaining it well though. I'm sure or would at least hope the doctor knows more than me though. infection clearly is possible because i know there is a lot of shit going around. seems everyone i know has been sick in the last month or so. i had a nasty cold about 3 weeks ago. i've already had 2 colds this fall season and i usually get maybe one per year. got a feeling it could be a long winter.

    Yeah, man. I rarely get sick and had a cold earlier and now this shit. So annoying.

    Hellickson accepts the $17.2 million offer from Phils. kind of surprising. would have been nice to get the compensation pick if he went somewhere else. Oh well definitely nice trade bait come trade deadline.
  • Jearlpam0925Jearlpam0925 Posts: 17,038
    Honestly, didn't think he'd accept, but then you think about the idea of a team giving up a pick for signing Hellickson and it definitely makes less sense to expose yourself to a market that may never appear.

    Even if he's his average Hellickson self you'll still be able to trade him for something. i can't knock them for their thought process on offering him the QO.

    Funny to think that really none of the prospects Phils traded away for Pence have had an impact, and the Phils got Tommy Joseph for Pence.

    Nothing like reaping dividends on a middling 1B with concussion issues and the chance to possibly, someday, 4-5 years later, to his 30+ homers.

    With that said, onward and upward.

    should have traded him at the deadline last year. this team continues to have no idea what they're doing. almost all of the reports on the prospects they got in the awful hamels trade have been negative (some overwhelmingly so in regards to nick williams and mark appel).

    anyone else hit the Jim James show on Friday? hands down the best front man on the planet these days -- and I don't think it's close. The Fixer had a nice 48 hour philly bender w Chris Robinson on Thursday and Jim James on Friday.

    hopefully the dipshits running the phillies take notes from what the white sox did today. that's how you trade a star pitcher and get a solid return. wish the phils got that kind of package for hamels. instead we are fucked for the next decade. not good times.

    took our kids to the gaylord at National Harbor on friday. The Gaylord hotels are gigantic and they have all kinds of cool Christmas stuff for the kids. Third year we've done that and the kids love it. I was all geeked up this year seeing all of the MLB Winter Meetings stuff going on. Though the official meeting hadn't started yet, there were all kinds of vendor shows and MLB personnel roaming around the hotel. I didn't recognize anyone, but I was tempted to book a hotel room and post up for the week. Can only imagine the shenanigans that take place at the hotel bars during this week. plus I could have smacked klentak and macPHAIL's heads together when they told me they were signing Benoit for $7.5 million. Fucking idiots
