Also

I thought someone claimed him? Did they back out of the claim? How does that work? Is this too many questions? Why does it burn when I pee?

There

was a man, a certain man.

Michael: Now, the soldiers are paid to fight; the rebels aren't. Roth: What does that tell you? Michael: They can win.

Are we going to declare war on Spain or are we not?!

Some of my college buddies liked to kick off a night of drinking with that question. Yeah, we were cool.

I think it is

But I have no idea where it’s from.

On a great side note, this is a bartender I met in Nashville back in February. Simon Pegg Lookalike?

what Simon Pegg would look like if he was from Nashville.

The pic doesn't do him justice

I asked him how often he got the Simon Pegg comparison and it confused him. So I said “Shaun of the Dead” and he laughed about it. Really nice guy.

I really like how Wilkin is listed as a C/IF/OF

Pretty much covering all their bases, aren’t they?

Yes, yes, yes CC - but can he pitch ?

All I know about this guys is that he lost 7 out of last 10 starts

Over that time period he batted over .300 Got some pop too. I echo Charlie – can he play outfield or 2b ?
