I trade Aces at the end of their career but when they still have some juice left.

Overall this season in $ was probably my furthest below (my) expectation in all my worlds ever.  I really thought 90 wins would be my floor.  If I could get a real ace, and go "real ace," Black, Friend, Roth, whoever, for the next few seasons, things would get fun.
Do you have the pieces to acquire said ace?
I definitely do if I'm willing to break up the young ML talent on offense.  I think I can do it with prospects if I'm creative.

But really, who trades aces?  I'm just dreaming.
I got one for Chavez, even if its taken 3 seasons to get him prepped for the majors

I dont think I could in good consciense use my daughter to garner forum points. Then if she really gets sick someone will quote it and say I had it coming. She does actually have like her hundrety dozenth ear infection, so a few start couldnt hurt, however.
ear infections are *****
She actually had a ruptured eardrum, and never fussed. The kid is tough, but needs to learn to speak in full sentences. Or at least learn the phrase, "My fuckin ear hurts--fix it, *****."

If someone has a box of tissues at their desk, I don't think you should be required to say anything if you just walk over and steal some.
I'd tend to agree, but the supply closet is all the way on the opposite corner of the building, so if someone did this to me often I'd expect the courtesy of an occasional new box delivery.

I haven't had to deal with any for a while, but they tend to lose sleep and then I lose sleep. It sucks.

Hand-Foot-Mouth is a bad one, too.

If I were on some stay at home mom forum, a picture of her would get bunches of thumbs up. Here, it gets a caption contest.

Gandarilla is hitting free agency.  He was hurt by the injury but should still be able to lead a staff.

I think the ones here aren't provided for. They're individually purchased.

I'm resolved to be more active in the trade market again going forward. I've been pretty much just drafting and developing for a while, and since I'm almost never in the front half of the draft, it's got me in this win around 85 and get a lower seed in the playoffs every other year rut.
I'll probably be looking to swing a deal or two, either for a 3B or pitching.
Pitching is what I'll be looking for as well, specifically quality 2/3 caliber starters.

Holy crap.  Really random.

I just did that exact thing and had the same exact thought about it.

Sort of eerie.

She sleeps through everything. Daycare sucks. She also got pink eye. She finally gets tubes in her ears though. Now that shes met the minimum requirement to be covered by insurance.

A SHoFer child's picture caption contest would either be hilarious or abysmal. I don't know if there's a middle ground when someone captions a picture.

Steal a used one. That'll freak them out.
