I was having a third straight bad-day at work today.

The office goes and decides to get Vietnamese for lunch… all I want is something fast and American. So, I stopped by a McDonald’s on the way back from picking up their lunch…, and before I’m even halfway in, the sonovabitch at the register is pushing that damn Angus shit on me

I’m like ‘dude, I just want a Quarter Pounder.’

’I’m tellin ya sir, thisting pretty good.’…

I just stared at him… I could not believe my day was going this badly. I was talking psychology to myself outloud for Christ’s sake

I mean, I was at a 4/5 star hotel (on the company’s dime), but two miles down the road, just a complete change. I guess you might compare to Ft. Worth Ave in Dallas. Not any certain thing, but just a general “do not belong” feeling. Seriously, I hit about 6/7 bars etc just looking for a place to cool out for a while, and ended up going back to the hotel…

People always run to this defense when people attack Kinsler

What the fuck difference does it make if Kinsler is a Top 5 second baseman.

Teams have won championships with shittier second basemen

We clearly need a shittier second baseman to win a championship.

What's your problem tonight man?

I’ve never seen you this irrational.

Seriously. You’re trying to throw out the fact that Kinsler is insanely talented and one of the best players at his position with some bullshit argument about being “in the game”, whatever the fuck that means.

I’ve come to expect better than this from you.

payroll this year was $68M. They will easily have $28M coming off the books due to expiring contracts. They should have no problem keeping Kinsler and Frankie and still have a payroll around $55M.z

That's crap

They owe Millwood and Young $28 million next year, and another $4 million for the Cat and Padilla buyouts.

That’s $32 million right there. Add Kinsler, Frankie and C.J., and that’s about $10 million more.

$42 million for 5 guys on the active roster. The remaining 20 players then get $13 million divided among them.

That’s not happening.

If payroll is $55 million, a couple of those guys are gone.
