Depends where. That's what I normally get at Five Guys. Their hot sauce isn't too overwhelming.

I love the Sirichai sauce on sausage sandwich. That offers a bit more of a kick.

That actually sounds delicious. I should do that next time I get a sausage sandwich.

It's kind of neat how they have some of the various colors throughout his career. I wish there was a better quality image but looks like Sox pants, Expos shirt, Mets themed hat?

I'm just gonna leave this here:
Washington Post said:
Pitcher Livan Hernandez became something of a sadistic benefactor when he arrived in Arizona in 2006. Motuzas said Hernandez once paid him $3,000 to drink a gallon of milk in 12 minutes. The two also hammered out a deal that permitted Hernandez to punch Motuzas in the groin for $50 a pop whenever he felt the urge. Motuzas would receive a $300 bonus after every 10th punch....

Things got really interesting one season when Hernandez got his hands on some rubber nunchucks. (”A gift from a fan,” former Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Webb said.) Hernandez, who now pitches for the Washington Nationals, would put them to use now and then by blindfolding Motuzas. “And then he’d come up and whip the s--- out of me,” said Motuzas, who was compensated for this, as well. “That was just his thing. Great guy, though.”

Guys I have my first fantasy draft tomorrow and the buy-in is $400...

Help me not look like a total noob.

$400 buy in and it's your first draft? Yeah, you're fucked.

Only general rule I can say without knowing what type of league you are in is to hold off on pitching and avoid closers unless they are an absolute steal.

But ya, you are screwed.

never heard about the cat, apparently
Orioles manager Buck Showalter recently told a magazine that Derek Jeter "is always jumping back from balls just off the plate. I know how many calls that team gets..."

That raises the question: Is Jeter getting the benefit of the doubt on inside pitches? The data indicates he is not.

In fact, an analysis of the statistical data generated by the Pitch F/X telemetry system (which can determine the location of every pitch) shows that Jeter actually is getting more strikes called against him on inside pitches than most big leaguers.

Also, the moneyball movie is apparently getting some good (very) early reviews:

Yeah... First prize is $3,000 though.

Any tips, good sites to go to? I'm on my way now- The draft is being catered...

What the hell did I get myself into? These people are quite serious about this.

The buy-in being $400 didn't tip you off? This feels like a stealth brag, tbh.

Speaking of hat talk, has anyone purchased any new ones? I bought one last season and it is one of the new ones that look like I'm wearing a pot on my head. Apparently there is a low crown version now which doesn't look as stupid...has anyone purchased one or tried it on?


Currently I'm still maining my 1999 wool Sox hat. Dat sweat.

Those were the wool hats, the new ones are made with a different material which aren't meant to fade or shrink to the size of your head.

Also, when is the official thread going up?
Click to expand...
I've got one set up already with the complete GAF Member / Team graphics I was working on before as well as a few other things. Probably sometime next week would be the proper time. We are still in teh landofmakebelieve.

If someone else is intent on making the OP I can shoot you some of those materials.

Also, if there are any one else who still hasn't stated their team/posted previously when I was making the graphics then please chime in as well.

Also, instead of that abortion of a split thread we had last year, how about we agree to make two threads this season? Second being an all new second-half thread after the ASB.

Well that was during the rants on the "Super Threads" and was done kind of abruptly. I think this year the AS break makes sense.

Good riddance.

For all of you looking for hats, the only, ONLY baseball hats that fit right and are any good at all are made by Twins Franchise. "The Franchise" hats need zero break in, and last forever.

The company has apparently been bought out or something since I got my last one, but this is the last hat you will ever need. Trust me.

Derek Lowe might have to be withdrawn as well, if you statistically eliminate the patented "Derek Lowe Wins," stats from his overall numbers.

Don't mess with my boy, though.
