Bonds would be terrible in 2019; steroids don't actually help you, right, so he'd be just as bad as any similarly aged player.

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Oh no, the Orioles might be terrible!

So let me get this straight: you endorse death by dragon for Pujols? That seems to violate the NAP

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I'm not in favor of dragons eating people, but I was asked what team would get a benefit from a dragon

Kevin Costner

1:00

If you were scouting my overall handsomeness in my prime would I be an 80?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I'm not sure as a straight guy that I should be rating handsomeness for men

1:01

except maybe Matt Bomer. Even I can tell he's dreamy

AFAF

How does weed get to MA from CA?

Dan Szymborski

Plane? Car? UPS man ignorant of what's inside the package?

Starting by accepting the baseline assumption that the introduction of legal gambling on sports can create potential problems...is the problem set that *may* come due to gambling really any more extensive than fantasy? I mean...especially with daily fantasy, haven't we had legalized gambling for a few years now?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

I don't think it's really all that concerning as long as you keep players out of it

Jay

Paddack was actually traded for Fernando Rodney. Marlins traded Josh Naylor for Cashner. Not sure which is more embarrassing.

Dan Szymborski

1:02

Thanks. All those Marlins trades have kinda run together in my head

Kevin

Dan Szymborski

I shooed Mercutio away because he was sitting on my lap but kneading his claws into my stomach

1:05

I heard Cassiopeia chasing him upstairs about 15 minutes ago

I gave galileo some sardines about 11:30, so he hasn't come down asking for dinner yet

Joe Theisman's father pronounced their last name as "Theezman" but in Theisman's senior year at Notre Dame he told everyone the pronunciation was "Thighzman" which coincidentally rhymed with Heisman. Pronunciations can change from father to son.

Dan Szymborski

1:05

I don't even pronounce my last name the same as my mom does

Der-K

Will we see the annual ZiPS spreadsheet, beyond releasing projections to FG?
Thanks!

Do you play strategy board games? It seems like this would be really up your alley with the other interests you have.
