The night before Thanksgiving '09 I went to Mix in Sacramento with a couple of homies, worst night of drinking in my life. I looked like dude in that pic, never in my existence did I want anything more than just a chair to sit down.

Mix

Pulled a few cougars from the Mix ....They love that place. Haven't been back there since 2010.

Had a friend used to work there for a few months and hook us up with free drinks everytime we hit it up at night and be stupid drunk.

MLB has an insane amount of money available

Add #BlueJays to long list of clubs pursuing Torii Hunter. Team pursued him two years ago, not especially confident of retaining Melky.

First, the ridiculous Russell Martin contract.  Then they are supposed to offer Pablo a contract today.  Now they are pursuing Torii Hunter?

Where are the BlueJays getting all this money?

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Does Toronto pay their players using the Canadian or U.S. dollar?

 

[DsLee]

Have to admire the Jays for continuing to go for it with the rest of the AL East in disarray, aside from Baltimore.

Up/Under on Drake sightings next season with the front running " this has ways been my team" comments?

that's an interesting question

 

[lightweight champion]

I would think that it has to be in Canadian dollars.

 

[jewbacca2]

I'm sure the dollar amounts reported are US dollars, but they're paid the Canadian equivalent

 

[elpablo21]

Paid in US dollars, Taxed in Canadian rates

Osh might be able to answer, I could have sworn there were articles around the deadline saying they either had no money to spend or they had money and the GM was not allowed to spend.

The Blue Jays approved the loans of the home buyers in California who crashed the real estate market.

What Oscar Taveras' family is doing on Twitter is cool of them. His family is managing his Twitter account and posting pictures of notes and items sent to them with a personal thanks to the person that sent the item. I hope no dumb *** on there doesn't start sending messed up messages to his family.

Jewbacca probably already sent them a letter calling him a murderer and pointing out that his BAC was higher than his batting avg.

Adam LaRoche to the White Sox for 2yrs/$25M.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

meh not a terrible contract. probably had to pay up a little to make it only 2 years.

 

[bishopstrongbow]

I like that deal for the Sox. Needed a lefty bat with some pop

 

[lb510]

Does that make Zimmerman a shoe in at 1st?

It should.

 

[phillyzphan]

A little surprised with the LaRoche White Sox deal. I know Abreu was great offensively but was he poor defensively? Or is LaRoche gonna DH primarily?

 

[lightweight champion]

I'm thinking he's just gonna DH.
