Sabean still saying some of the right things
"Uggla, a sorely needed right-handed pull hitter, is widely believed to top that list. With the Marlins perennially fighting to keep their payroll at modest levels, they are expected to actively shop the arbitration-eligible second baseman. But Sabean said he won't give up any prime assets for a player getting close to free agency, and the Marlins are asking for players like left-hander Madison Bumgarner. "
Why the hell do the Marlins think that they can get MadBum for Uggla. Everyone knows they need to unload the payroll. I'd send them FLew and AAAA change.

“Most of the parents interviewed really, really wanted to buy a Tickle-Me-Elmo for their child, but most of them were not willing to be hit in the face by an aluminum bat to get one.”
Thats funny. I actually always tell my fiance that buying Starbucks is equivlent to standing in line to pay to get punched in the face.

Though I don’t have a problem with most of their espresso drinks.

I actually think they serve one of the best Mocha’s around.

Agreed. Treating Starbucks as a place you go when you want an expensive, rich coffee-based treat, but only every once and a while, is the way to go.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
I like their chai lattes, too. It has a sweet/spice balance that other places usually screw up.

I don't drink coffee
But I do get chai lattes from Starbucks.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

I’m kinda shocked at the number of frou-frou East Bay coffee shops that use aerosal crappy whipped cream instead of the real stuff.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
I've always prefered cheap aerosal whipped cream.
It’s generally lighter and sweeter. Hand whipped (and the stuff that Starbucks uses) has a slightly unpleasant stiffer texture.

Starbucks uses real whipped cream, but it’s whipped by nitrous charges.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
I thought this was hilarious...

McDonald’s cappuccino was, almost unanimously, our favorite. Our critics thought the McCafé cappuccino had the “most coffee taste” with more (albeit the most bitter) espresso flavor.
Yeah, no.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
In the real world, it has the “most water taste.”

By “free” I of course meant “without otherwise adding to my current expenses.”
Don’t forget: going to McDonald’s isn’t just the price of watery coffee and a terrible hamburger. It’s also the price of gas.

I don’t know whether it’s the milk or the coffee, but the McCafes taste like cancer.

Dunks are only good in NE. Something about it, its almost a right of passage to work there in NE. Here in Philly they are dingy and crappy.

Here in NY we literally have a Dunkin’ Donuts on every block. Don’t know what I’d do without them. I used to love the coffee rolls and coconut donuts until NY city forced all places that served food to post the amount of calories in everything. Since both of them had around 400, I switched to the french cruller donuts which only have 150 calories. I have to take care of myself, because I have to live another 100 years if I want to see my team finally win a World Series.

Starbucks
bringing clean restrooms, air conditioning, and food not involving soda or deep-fryers to Merka for years now.
I know Starbucks is pretty unpopular in SF, but everywhere else I’m very glad to see them. It’s all well and good to wish for indy coffee roasters in, say…Alabama

Have you ever had a vanilla latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon? Delicious.
Juan Carlos Perez, please start hitting.
"I'd send them FLew and AAAA change."
You act like the Giants’ are the only team they can send him to. The Marlins will have no trouble finding a taker for Uggla. You can’t give them Bumgarner, but you’re going to have to give them something worthwhile.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
True
But FLew is good, and I think the Marlins would appreciate him.
Who else is in the market for a 2B? The only rumors I’ve heard were the Orioles and the Giants, and the O’s dropped out.
Desirous of Matt Holliday and Dan Uggla since 2009.
They Just Sign Scutaro So That Should Kill Their Interest Unless They Are Thinking LF
Backup plan if they lose out on Bay and Holliday?
by giantsrainman on Dec 6, 2009 3:41 PM PST up reply actions
I dunno, I dont’ think there’s that much of a market for a bad defensive 2B who’s about to get expensive.

"AT LAST I AM A PARENTS." - Buster
I don’t think teams are falling all over themselves, but middle infielders who hit 30 homeruns a season are pretty rare. He also walked 92 times last year, so he’s not just a hacker. I could see a big market team jumping on him if the Marlins are just going to give him away.

uggla
should be damned near free. he’s going to be making $8-9 mil after arbitration. that’s figgins money. no way marlins pay that, and other, arguably better options still out there (f.lopez) as free agent.
I still think Sabean is smart enough not to trade MadBum for Uggla
I believe him when he said he wouldn’t trade MadBum for Victor Martinez and clearly VMart is better than Uggla
