at least the cowboys didn't sign smith to a deal two years BEFORE he hit free agency.

amaro is horrible

A fat Howard was a better Howard. Fatty hit for a better average.

i'm guessing the treatment of a torn achilles just might have come along a little bit in the past 2 decades dude.


unabashed fraud was a pretty hilarious touch though

haha well there howard was in baltimore getting puss sucked outta his foot two days ago. we'll see how he plays this year - it may be more rob deer than even rob deer.

Am I the only one who thought Howard wasn't coming back in April or May? I don't know how people can expect a lot out of a guy that tore his achilles. Feel that shit in the back of your ankle. Now think about it ripping apart. Could you imagine that shit? People are way too optimistic.

I could care less when he comes back. Just hope he gets back early enough to get hurt before playoffs so he doesn't kill them for a 4th straight playoff season.

Luckily amaro signed a guy who can't play the field to fill in until black jared is ready

god he got fat. $125 mill will buy you a lot of mcdonalds

gone for a while but still clueless

Yeah and he had more power. Even worse in the field though.

This is boring - let's talk about gastropubs.

Look at the playoff stats the last 2 years to see which Phillies produced at the plate and which didn't. Is Lee's contract ridiculous because he blew a 4-0 lead in game 2 and decides to only pitch well every other month during the season?

Howard was better Fat!

I don't like looking at playoffs as a gauge of a contract, it's just too small of a sample size (unless your name is Derek Jeter and you have a full season of playoff games), eventually your playoff stats will level out with your regular season stats if you play enough. Yankees fans are the most guilty of this.

I do think Howards splits are a problem in the playoffs since managers will mix and match more so than in the regular season.

There's something off about Sheena. She doesn't live up to the hype. I'll take the blonde.

Empty Glass

Hat to break up the lady talk (call dibs on the blonde), but I'm in the very early stages of planning next years baseball trip.

A group of guys I work with make a baseball weekend each year. Next year we are turning that into a week in Clearwater

To those that have been or are from there...nearby hotels / bars within walking distance of Brighthouse?

Make sure to stay on the island, near the beach - very much worth it. I'd look into renting a house if you're going for a week. It'll be cheaper than a hotel and you can get a lot for your money - ie roof decks, hot tubs, bbq's, etc.

There's a shopping center right next to the ballpark with a couple bars in it. The one place has $1 tacos on certain nights and like $2 beers. On the island go to Frenchy's - any of them is good, but the one right on the beach is the best.

And make sure to go to Lenny's for breakfast.

I 2nd the idea of staying on the island and spent most of your time there. Frenchy's is a must and I like Palm Pavilion (just down the block from Frenchy's) a lot too. There is also a decent sports bar that offers a free drink with ticket stub (at least as of last year) down by the beach.

Enjoy, clearwater in the spring is one of my favorite places.
