Torii Hunter Retires.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

It's shocking to me that no player EVER has accepted a QO.Originally posted by revo View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

2016 - ???
2015 Dan Haren + Brian Wilson $19.5m
2014 Josh Beckett $13m
2013 Josh Beckett $13m
Sure, they'll spend $30m on Carl Crawford and Michael Morse. But that's wasted money on hitting - everyone knows wasted money on pitching wins championships - look at what SF accomplished with the Zito contract.people called me an idiot for burning popcorn in the microwave, but i know the real truth. - nullnorComment
