Official 2016 Spring Training Thread

Hahahahaha

"Casper is someone that we've had our eye on since spring training," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said in a statement. "He's a versatile outfielder who adds depth to our club and can be a power threat off the bench."
I can just imagine Ruben sitting in some condo with his sunglasses chomping on a cigar in Clearwater talking on the phone to one of his scouts.

"This Wells kid looks like he's the real deal. I know he's hitting .189 in spring training but he has some clutch hits. What's that you say? Ruf just hit a walkoff home run? It was probably a fluke-send him down to get some more work in. Just get me some tape on this Wells guy ASAP!"

Yeah, great Rubes, you spent all season following a guy who has the upside potential to be John Maybery Jr, except not quite as good. But hey, you got your man! Not bad, Reuben..........

Wells ended his career with the Phillies. Had one hit in 24 plate appearances and struck out 8 times.

It's going to be tough to make the wall of fame with those numbers.

If I could go back in time I would do that joke with Amaro doing a David Caruso. "I think This Casper...(pauses to put his sunglasses on) has a little life left in him"..... YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!

I don't get it. I liked the other one a lot better. If you ever get on Comedy Central Presents, lead with the first one, and only do the David Caruso impression when you've run out of material and the crowd is boozed up

 

[Cedrique]

That Caruso bit would have killed 8 years ago

Finally last year Ruben said...."maybe.....we... should pitch Cole Hamels"

 

[Cedrique]

"It's time that weeeee......Chase Utley"

 

[Cedrique]

"I think OBP.......is overrated"

 

[Cedrique]

"It looks like Doc Halladay......needs surgery"

I had never seen the show, but that is good material. That or Matthew McConaughey in True Detective

So who is the Reds opening day starter--Homer Bailey?

i guess. Opening Day needs to get here fast before I go crazy making threads about sandwiches on the Skins' board

 

[Cedrique]

wow, you got a lot of run on that thread. I can't believe that guy accused you of being a cheese whizzer. That is not true, right?

this doesn't change the awesomeness of the Bobbie

 

[Cedrique]

Yeah, I've never had one but I have had a similar sandwich somewhere, but I forget where. The one thing that doesn't sound good to me is the mayonaise. Is that really necessary when you have the cranberry sauce?

Wawa makes one called the Gobbler and Primo's has the Pilgrim (which is nasty). Yes the mayo is intricate to the Bobbie. But I don't want to sound like an asshole food critic snob, like this guy on Yelp:
"(3.5) ~ Good overall food & service

MY MENU:
* Personal Margarita Pizza = (4) very good
* Garlic Knots = (3.25) pretty good
* Water(tap) = (3.25) pretty good"

That's good water. I need to check that place out. I'm sure it will be better than that sub shop I went to in Flint, Michigan.....
