A sales guy calling himself an engineer is like a chiropractor calling himself a doctor, or a daycare worker calling himself a teacher, or a bowler calling himself a professional athlete, or a clerk calling himself a lawyer.

Thanks for the laugh hahahahahahahaha!!

If Chiropractors didn't exist, what would we do about all of those vertebral subluxations!? If we didn't get rid of those then everyone would be walking around with Ebola, because there is totally a correlation there.

Also interesting fact: In most States you have to pass the Engineering Intern test to be certified as being able to work towards your PE license where the game is rigged so you have to work for a PE for 6 years (at low wages) and be sponsored before you can even take the test, essentially doing all the work for the PE who just uses his stamp, all while knowing that they sure as hell don't want you going into business and competing with them....

Another of the many "fix is in" things that limits true capitalism. There should be a PE competency test and you should be able to pass and become a PE or not. Don't get me started on non compete clauses...

I'm a PE in Alaska. The test is a joke. i could have passed it out of college no problem.
 
This off season has been very tiring. The more information the insiders spew out at us the less I believe. I guess they gotta eat too!
 
I would like to see Braves sign Marwin Gonzalez and trade Camargo and Newcomb + for JTR and call the off season over.

Isn't the biggest question remaining with Keuchel "who are you left bidding against?"

The Miley signing likely removes Houston as a bidder. If San Diego and the Mutts are sniffing around on Gio, they're likely out. The Gnats are likely out.

He makes sense here, in Philadelphia, and in Cincinnati (if they're able to add that much more salary). Hard to find anyone that's likely to give him the five years he reportedly wants, and maybe even hard to find anyone willing to go four.

I wouldnt rule out a Hou/Keuchel reunion.

Right now they have Miley, JV, Cole, McHugh, James, Whitley will be up at some point but on an innings limit, they still need more SP's.

Agreed, my best guess would be it comes down to returning to Houston or going to stupid money Philadelphia.
 
How confident are you that AA is going to do something significant before spring training? I’m getting a little weary checking here and on Twitter every 10 minutes. :)
 
Got home from work and was excited as soon as I saw this thread had added 7 pages since last night. We finally made an acquisition!!! Who is it who is it?! Just tax rates and troll wars. On the plus side, UTD sold Almiron to Newcastle, and we're about to sign the lesser Pogba brother
