School of Roch: Should Manny be Manny in Baltimore?
Roch says NO.
Oriole Rotation Projected to Improve | Dempsey's Army
I can't imagine they could get any worse, can you?
Some Orioles notes on Manny Ramirez, roster additions, Jeff Larish, Jeremy Guthrie - baltimoresun.com
The O's signed Jeff Larish to a minor league deal, could work out a deal with Jeremy Guthrie before they go to a hearing on Monday, and they had better not sign Manny Ramirez.

the old 7 man rotation
actually timely info for my fan post opus…
Can Manny pitch?
amazingly sad that any team in MLB would consider him, especially a team that doesn’t need a long time has been.
If the O's sign Manny
that is the end of DD’s honeymoon, AFAIAC.

Looks awesome.
it does
I linked to the video, which took forever to actually watch because I had to install a million plugins etc. So by the time I had finished all that I forgot what you actually linked to. My bad!
I'm stupid
disregard all of my comments, as usual. I didn’t see the youtube video at the bottom. I need more coffee.
holy crap.. that is awesome.
anyone know how i can get an internship with the Reading Phillies? …or maybe I just need to let them know that I am a “fun person”

which is only tangential to actual good baseball.

true, but fantasy or not
the fact that the Betemit move was even raised as a positive worth writing an article about, is nice to see

Bragging
So I have a question… I have courtside VIP tickets tonight to see Blake Griffen at the Verizon Center, BYAHHHHHHH food/beer included.
My question is, MD/UNC plays at 4 so I have to watch it downtown and I don’t know the best sports bar to go watch it out near the Verizon Center. Anyone know where MD fans might be huddled up for the game?
(I know the lead-in was incredibly douchey, but I’m pumped)

I haven't been there in a long time
How far is it on the metro? The time window is terrible because MD plays at 4, and I want to be at the Verizon Center by 6-6:15

Ahhhh, too far.
My time constraints are razor thin. I need to be able to be in the Verizon Center like 10 minutes after the game ends.

I'd say you should just pick a bar in Chinatown until Wiz game time approaches.

the brother of the rangers profar!
Juremi Profar, 16-year-old in 2012, 5-foot-11, is a top shortstop from Curacao. Profar has a very good range as shortstop and is a good hitter with a power bat. If he keeps growing, maybe a future thirdbaseman.
another SS?
jeez. we need some OF prospects
by mdterps0325 on Feb 4, 2012 4:10 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
we could have all SS! Bogaerts, Profar etc..etc.!
what we have done? Don’t sign them! Bogaerts is now from the red sox, also his brother. What do we have behind Machado? If he got some problem with his knee in future, who gonna play SS?
do we have scouts in colombia, nicaragua, panama, aruba, etc..?
or you guys don’t know nothing?
fuckkkkk No.
2 or 3 bucks is acceptable
by mdterps0325 on Feb 4, 2012 2:43 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
What the fuck are you talking about?
No it isn’t. 2 or 3 bucks is in no way an acceptable tip for a pizza delivery driver. Not unless you only ordered a $10 pizza. Remember they have to drive from the place to your house and they are often required to pay for their own gas and drive their own cars; the pizza place usually doesn’t provide them with company cars or reimburse their gas costs (some do, but not many).
20% is an acceptable tip for a pizza delivery driver. Tip them more than that and you’ll be making sure that when you place an order, you’ll be the first house they visit to drop off your food, so you’ll get it faster and hotter than if you’re a shitty tipper. Only tip $2 on a $30 order and you’ll make sure that your pizza will get there 45 minutes later at the end of their run, because fuck you for being a shitty tipper.
When I delivered, I expected a 10% tip.
I also expected that someone would not pay if it took 45 minutes to get there and it was lukewarm.
10 sounds right
if you think they deserve a waiters tip then we don’t have much to argue about cause I totally disagree
by mdterps0325 on Feb 4, 2012 3:48 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
I delivered pizzas too
and anyone who didnt tip 15-20% was a cheap bastard, imo.
Dont know how it was where you worked, but I worked for a mom and pop pizza shop. I got paid under minimum wage and had to pay for my own gas and drive my own car. It wasn’t out of the ordinary for deliveries to take 45 mins or more (we would be up front about it when they placed the order) because we rarely had more than one driver at a time. Furthermore, as a driver, we were expected to work the carryout counter and help in the kitchen.
So yeah, if someone felt like 10% was a reasonable amount to tip… 1st: fuck them, and 2nd: enjoy having me deliver your food last as much as possible.
I guess if you are talking about dominos which is a big operation and can probably send a guy out on 4 or 5 deliveries within a very small geographic area, maybe… MAYBE 10% is OK.
Also… if it’s snowing so bad that you wouldn’t go out on the roads to get to work… tip 50%
and you guys always got your deliveries out in 45 or less?
Cooking a pizza alone takes 12 minutes to cook plus 5 minutes of prep time. In addition to one driver, we only had one cook most of the time. I just don’t see how you would expect someone to not pay if it was 45 minutes or longer to be delivered. Did you guys have a fleet of drivers? Deliver to a small geographic area?
I got a $10 dollar
pizza and I gave a $5 dollar tip to the delivery driver. Good tipper = me.

cooking a pizza only takes 8 minutes
if you have the oven up high enough

Prep takes longer if you take into account rising time.
After that you can crank them out throughout the night pretty quickly.

2 things to that
1) I am usually paying between 10 and 15 on pizza not feeding a whole family.
2) I know people who got 2 dollars per deliver from their company for gas plus minimum wage. which ends up making it quite easy to rake a waiter like salary for the night, which I consider horseshit
by mdterps0325 on Feb 4, 2012 3:47 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
I also feel like you should
pay more depending on where you’re located. If you live on a tiny rowhome street in the city I think you should tip more as it’s harder from them to get to your house.
Yeah, cause waiters make SO much money
That’s why I always see waiters running around in sports cars and making it rain at strip clubs.

20% seems pretty high to me
I have a buddy who delivers pizza on the side and he said he thinks 20% is “very generous.”
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
I usually tip 5 bucks
it doesn’t really matter how much the order cost—getting it to your door is roughly the same (unless it’s 4-5 izzas and bnch of cokes).
and that goes the same, whether it’s pizzas or thai food, or italian.
"End of season like this, to make Boston go home sad, crying, I’ll take it all day."—Robert Andino
Yeah I'm lazy so it's often $5
which now that I think about it is probably pretty close to or more than 20% when it’s just for my wife and I.

So why base restaurant tips on any different logic?
A waiter just brings food from the kitchen to your table, right?

Why are you still "making stations"?
