In other news, I had a fever dream last night that Dexter Fowler and I became friends because he was inexplicably curious about Bankruptcy. Best fever dream ever.

CubsWoo posted:I looked up the statutes and there doesn't seem to be any kind of alcohol/DUI provision in the drug or conduct policy and that's going to get a ton of scrutiny if MLB is fine giving out 30+ game suspensions for domestic violence allegations (whether or not they end in arrests or convictions) but then have no league punishments for multiple DUI convictions. Or that Alex Reyes (  ) got 50 for pot as a minor leaguer. Good priorities, baseball.

Sydin posted:In other news the team that hadn't won a WS in 108 years is going to milk the ever loving poo poo out of finally winning one. Buckle up because it's only going to get more insufferable, particularly if the Cubs are really good again this year too. In a way I should be grateful for our orange hate monster in the White House. I only have a finite amount of hatred to go around and were it not for him, I'd have a lot more aimed at this kind of bullshit from the Cubs.

Mike_V posted:What a terrible time it must have been being a Bulls fan in the 90s. I assume Yadi for 140 games, Eric Fryer for 10 and Kelly for 10 after callups. Matheny will absolutely run Yadi into the ground. Kelly needs regular AB's and work in game that he won't get at the ML level yet. And yes, Jordan in the 90's made everything since it worth it, but as an adult the Bulls have not been great.

I donated twice back in the day and they had very specific guidelines about how the hair had to be donated. Doesn't look like they're complying with length or style requirements. I choose to believe that the Yankees are lying about donating to kids with cancer to give themselves cover for their stupid rule. Because that's Yankee.

GoatSeeGuy posted:I REALLY want to spend an week in an alternate universe where Molina plays for, not an arch enemy like the Cubs, but someone like the Brewers just to see how the BFIB react to the demonstrative brown guy with the neck tattoos kicking their rear end. Closest I can think of is Cueto/Phillips from the CIN days, but that's tainted by the 2010 brawl so it's not a great comparison. I think Marte/Cutch are both well-liked or at least not despised in BFiB circles, but they're not as demonstrative as Yadi is.

And that's coming from someone who is no stranger to a fifth or two People get super offended sometimes when I tell them I don't drink or do any drugs and haven't ever in my life (age 33). They take it as a judgment thing, like I think I'm better than they are. I just qualify it now by making sure they know it's because of the Olympic-level addiction in my family history and my own issues with impulse control. Once it's clear to them that it's a problem with me, not them, most people calm down.

My boss' kid is getting married this weekend (he's 23 or 24) and he almost had a meltdown when his parents told him he needed to have alcohol at the wedding or people would hate it. It's apparently going to be dry. I'm not going. Well yeah, that's a dick move. Don't push your lifestyle on someone else. No alcohol, caffeine, meat or dessert for me. I still serve drinks, coffee, desserts and meat when I have people over for dinner. That's just manners, plus fried chicken skins or stewed blackberries, gin and bay leaf custard are just fun to make. I assume Kris Bryant doesn't judge his teammates for drinking. If he did I figure John Lackey would have killed him by now.
