Thanks guys

[@CloudwalkerDrones]

John Schneider watch?

[@Savethepeople2004]

If the Giants are smart they play Fitzgerald /Schmitt /Bailey/Ramos everyday. And while we're on the subject I would get Sabol some ABs AND move Wade/Conforto to DH longterm. Also I would have a RF competition between Sabol and Matos with Ramos in LF. Chill

[@Savethepeople2004]

SPOILER ALERT: those dozens of world class scouts weren't wrong about Heliot Bleepin Ramos #cleanversion

Pete Rose lost most of his bets too.

@@happygster922 Not so much back when Pete was doing it. Lines weren't as sharp back then.

[@happygster922]

@@DerekDominoes Was more of a general comment than Rose in particular
