jheath replied to your post: First Baseball Fantasy Mock Draft of the Year
You’ve got Beltre that high? Is that your Rangers fandom kicking in or is that what non kool aid drinking people say too? He’s keeper eligible for me and I was on the fence.
James brings up an interesting point. What is anyone going to do with this 3B class? Hanley Ramirez and Miguel Cabrera are probably both making...

Mexican troops seized 15 tons of methamphetamine in a western state of Mexico, the Associated Press reported Thursday, which if sold in the U.S. would be worth $4 billion. The AP says, in fact, this is likely the biggest meth seizure ever made.
After receiving anonymous tips, the troops found barrels of...

#NoOneCaresAboutYourWeddingUpdates
OK, so Shannon and I have been balls deep in planning our wedding lately. Per my super helpful World Series grief therapist, we have begun time and date stamping every plan so that it’s concrete and we can check things off the list. Which brings me to our rehearsal dinner location.
We’ve been trying to lock down (or at least get prices to lock down) our favorite pizza place in town...

Save the Dallas St Patrick's Day Parade on Lower... →
dallastx:
The organizers need to raise almost $40,000 to save the parade this year. The Dallas St Patty’s parade is the 2nd largest St Patty’s Day parade in the nation and one of the only days Dallas residents are allowed to drink in public. Save our wonderful celebration! As a Greenville resident, I have seen just how important this parade is to local businesses. Jobs depend on this...

Why is Sleigh Bells still opening up for other...
Because they fucking killed it tonight and they were apparently opening up for Diplo. Half of the crowd left after Sleigh Bells (including us). The last time we saw them in Dallas, they opened for CSS and the same thing happened.
Oh, and check out Reign of Terror. That album is going to be fucking sick.
Spoiler Alert: If anyone promotes something to...

2012 MLB Predictions
Here are my very, very early predictions for the 2012 MLB season. They’ll probably be adjusted some during Spring Training and before first pitch of Opening Day, so take these with a grain of salt. I just wanted to break down some baseball numbers during lunch.
AL East - Tampa Bay Rays
AL Central - Detroit Tigers
AL West - Texas Rangers
AL Wild Card - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

Pending Karaoke List
So, I’m really into karaoke even the good Lord Tebow did not bless me with either pitch or an ear for music. I’ve been going every Wednesday to the same place for close to 8 months now and I was a diehard karaoke junkie during my junior and senior year of college. Every now and then, I listen to or remember a song and I’m like “Hey, that might be fun to sing.” I...

Rick Perry's $169 Million Tech Fund has only... →
That’s $206,097 spent on each job since 2006 in a state that has been battling multi-BILLION dollar shortfalls in the last several years.
And how about the $9+ Billion recommended cut in teachers’ jobs? $169M pays the salary of 4,048 teachers in Texas. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but in 2011 Austin, Houston, and Dallas combined for 1,442 teacher layoffs because of the budget...

Uh aren’t you getting married that weekend?
The week after. It ends the 13th and we’re ruining the sanctity of marriage on the 20th. In my IPA soaked state, I’m currently checking to see if it would be feasible to have a bachelor party in Denver. Like, would they arrest a man for...

The Casual Fan's Guide to the Super Bowl

Hey you, sort of sports fan. Are you unsure who to root for in the Super Bowl because you got too tied up in trying to keep Community and it’s unfunny jokes from going off the air? Or maybe you were hoping that Tim Tebow would make the Super Bowl so you could root for that classic Heisman Trophy and National Championship winning underdog who defied the impossible odds of...
