For you Rule 5 dorks, what day is this clown show this week?  Remind me not to log in for at least 24-48 hours afterwards.

Thursday. In which a majority of Roch's tweets that day will be about how early he can catch his flight back home.

I remember now, they save the worst for last.  Can't wait to hear all the hand wringing about how we're going to keep a player who had a great season 4 years ago in AA on the roster all year.  It's gonna be awesome.

Carry on.

If he was still speaking to me I'd probably get a text telling me to delete this and ban you!  But Frobby caused him to go ballistic last off season and he stopped talking to me and unfriended me on everything after I told him I don't suppress thoughts good or bad about anyone. As long as you don't name call you are good here, but he didn't like that response.

Just to set the record straight, I still sleep soundly at night.

We have to be the only MLB fanbase that expects us to pick two players in the Rule 5 draft.

Hey I mean I've defended the guy on here. I like him. But I like poking fun at him more. In the same way he and beat reporters poke fun at each other. He's a sensitive dude for a guy looking like he can pound you into the pavement, and I've always found that funny. 

But look, when you follow a guy like Roch like we've all done for over a decade, you get to know his quirks. One of which is he complains about the Winter Meetings, and I like to think he knows that's a schtick he does, since he does it every year. It's tradition!

You know me, always taking unfair shots at people and setting them off!    I do feel quite bad that he reacted that way to you because of something I wrote.    It’s not like I even dislike the guy.

Eh, it is what it is. It's not like we were exchanging Christmas cards or anything.

I'd definitely pass on the 24-48 hours after the Rule 5 draft.  Then we could get back to which potential Hall of Fame OF we will manipulate service time for in 2020.  Embrace the rebuild.  Foundations are never sexy, but to rebuild properly, it's gotta be done.

It's either the Rule 5 or the hot dog thread.

Yeah!  I hear they're still debating whether it's a sandwich or not - geez!  Actually, we have several human "hot dogs" (I even resemble that remark) that propagate their own genres of mustard for all to savor.  The OH is a people friendly site!

I thought Luke was down on Sharp?

His enthusiasm was blunted?

If you lost Roch, it’s no loss. Since I discovered this place I visit Steve on occasion but have no reason to read roch’s Blog.

As long as he’s not Jason Garcia. One of those was quite enough.
