  • Anyone else going to the Winter Meetings?

    If so, say hi. Since they are in Dallas this year, I'll be going Monday-Wednesday.

      "It's time once again to get out your cowboy boots and ten-gallon hats and saddle up for the 110th annual Baseball Winter Meetings™ in Dallas, Texas! From December 5-8, executives from every level of professional baseball will converge on the Hilton Anatole. The Hilton Anatole is an old friend to the industry, having hosted the Baseball Winter Meetings six times prior to this year. "

          Bummer, would've liked to meet you.

          For the record, I'm leaving my boots and cowboy hat at home, and I don't own a saddle or a horse.

              5:1 there's a Rob Cook stalker report after this year's winter meetings...
              "Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
              "Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

                Am I a real cowboy? I like country music and I own a cowboy hat, but compared to Jay Novacek--I dont even know how to ride a horse.

                    If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

                      I stayed at the Clarion Inn last year & commuted in each day. I paid $27 a day via priceline compared to the $227 everyone paid to stay on site.

                        The meetings were surreal. Lots and lots of people in a huge hotel lobby. Baseball people in general are a really amazingly kind and helpful bunch of people. I suppose I shouldn't have expected any different, but sometimes from all the arguments online in sabermetric quarters I guess I had gotten the idea it was otherwise. It was very cool to meet a large number of people that I had previously known only online.

                        One of these days I will get to meet my first RJ'er in person. Still waiting.
