Horrible trade imo. Contreras has an OPS that’s 100 points higher. He hit two more homers in over 200 less plate appearances. Murphy is a great defensive catcher, but the assets given up don’t matchup. I would have tried to hold onto Contreras as long as I could. The dude is only 24 years old and made an all star team last year. Worst trade AA has made and it’s not really close. I have no idea what he was thinking on this.

I just can’t see the competitive advantage. I feel like I watched a lot of Braves baseball, enough to honestly say that Contreras was a star in the making, and as you said, only 24 years old and if I’m not mistaken, locked up for 5 more years. What do we do with d’Arnaud now?
I feel like we could’ve/should’ve upgraded the rotation or even the outfield, WAY before we started looking at the catcher position.

Yo! Firestorm. High def graphics slow down the site….terribly. Save graphics at lower definition will keep the site from slowing down and getting clogged.

Or I can stop with constant posts of images.

I’m going to need to continue to wait for Christina another day because she didn’t work at Old Chicago tonight since I’ll be giving her 4 gifts.

Guns and Roses Greatest Hits
A great cd she can listen to while driving to Chicago since she stated that’s how she’ll travel to Chicago since her desire is to visit Chicago because she’s never been to that terrific Midwest Metropolis.

The Fugitive
A famous great suspense cat and mouse movie set in Chicago.
Fools Rush In
A realistic romance movie with 2 likable flawed characters, realistic obstacles, and a natural progression for the relationship Isabella and Alex have.
No use of unbelievable romance movie cliches.
Desperado
A great action revenge movie with a simple story, a badass main protagonist with a understandable motivation for his primary goal, memorable characters including an assassin that mostly seems inspired by the psychopath remorseless assassin (Marvel) Bullseye, great original soundtrack including the Desperado movie theme, explosions, romance subplot that isn’t shoe horned in, a climax with stakes, good dialogue, and highly entertaining action scenes.

It’s got a bigger budget than El Mariachi, however still uses practical effects and same style action revenge sequel that stands on its own.

The Patriots Cardinals MNF is highly entertaining even though both teams are mainly playing for pride.
The Patriots making the Playoffs this season is a Pipe dream.

I think you should get a Chicago album to listen to on the way to Chicago.

I assume you mean for Christina the Mexican Babe that works as a bartender-server at the Old Chicago not far from where I went to High School which is Millard North.

Also I’m getting her a How the Grinch Stole Christmas book, and a stuffed Snoopy from Kohls which she can share with her kids if she wants because Snoopy is a likable loyal dog.
