I shouldn't have put that in there, bad choice of words....I'm taking from the movie with this talk....

Oh please, relax and stop taking it seriously.

Oirish American gal from Boston gets frustrated when her cardiologist boyfriend of four years doesn't propose to her on a dinner date like she expected him too , he is off to Dublin in the morning for a conference and that's when she hatches a plan to go and propose to him.....you see , in Ireland every leap year on that date a woman can propose to her man......only on that day mind .....of she goes to Ireland with only days to spare but.....bad weather forces her to land in Dingle Co. Kerry , Hollywood bog standard hijinks ensue ......she needs to get from Dingle to Dublin in two days......the handsome bar owner in Dingle will drive her for 500 euro....you can guess the rest... A chick flick that will please the missus , lots of beautiful scenery but so many things wrong here .... Matthew Goode has a n Oirish accent that might be even more annoying that the one Tom O'Cruise had in "Far & Away"...Amy Adams plays her part fine for what it is I suppose... Half the fun here for me in this movie was picking out the parts of Ireland that were supposed to be other parts of the country, the producers had beautiful shots of cliffs that are supposed to be Dingle.....but they are in fact The Cliffs at Dun Aengus in the Aran Islands....I am pretty sure none on the movie was shot in Dingle..... The amazing castle they walk up too in "Tipperary" is not in Tipperary and for the most part was computer generated it looks like.... the castle is real but the view up to it is not.....

Never heard of him..... Rest in Peace

It's a great deal for the Brewers, Melvin likes going for the big prize. Word is there was a deal in place with the Nats but Greinke vetoed it.

Fair play to the him , $1.5 million for a guy who is still only 33 sounds great......he did leave money out there, could have had a two year deal with the MFY's. The White Sox offered one year at $3.5.

We should set up a Facebook page to make that happen, pretty sure Alderson would friend us within a week....posting shit the following week, deal done on the third week.....

When I first saw the link I was sure it was a piss take on the Mets, but there are some cool items in here http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ycn-7372806 How cool is this? What the heck is this? anyone here buy Mets type gifts for the holidays ?

I hope he is as successful with them after leaving us as Mike Stanton was for us after leaving them...

yankee apologists on twitter, that would Klapisch and the like are selling this as a guy who "demands the ball in a big spot"

A two year deal with the devil for $8 million, plus an option.... pass

Yeah , like the Cubs are loaded in the starting rotation .....making a run for Garza apparently

I can picture Fred , Saul and Jeff pouring over spread sheets with the poll results....sleeves rolled up, top shirt button open, pacing around the conference table looking concerned. "Dammit Fred, is it too late to hire Wally,it's a different result with him"

Which of the following phrases best describes the New York Mets organization? (Please select up to three responses) picking three is just impossible

Ha... When thinking about the New York Mets, what are the first five (5) words or phrases that come to mind? Word/phrase #1: - mediocre Word/phrase #2: no direction Word/phrase #3: new direction Word/phrase #4: leadership Word/phrase #5:- less Jeff

Never sure what to make of him as a player, like he would be a good guy of the bench/fourth outfielder a for a team going places, hit you 15 home runs and 60 rbi....

I remember the Spring Training of the year I guess he got traded , he and Maine are doing a sit down lunch on SNY with whoever the host was then, seemed like a guy with a future on the Mets...I do find it a shame to see guys like that basically disappear , bounce around...

Shoot, I can never remember my dreams in any detail at all.......if the Mets have Australian Night that would be spooky.

What does it say to KC fans that Moore the GM thinks Francoeur is exactly what the club needs?

Can't Stop the Bleeding can't stop throwing Jeff under the bus http://www.cantstopthebleeding.com/jeff-francoeur-still-full-of-shit-for-a-living Jeff Francoeur : Still Full Of Shit For A Living Posted in Baseball at 7:01 pm by GC You�re not even past the first sentence of Terez A. Paylor�s K.C. Star item welcoming Jeff Francoeur to the Royals when the former Braves/Mets/Rangers RF�s smile is mentioned prominently. It�s a winning smile, too, just so long as your definition of winning has nothing to do with winning baseball games (or getting on base very often). Perez seems willing to give Francoeur the benefit of the doubt when he claims he turned down other suitors in favor of the Royals GM Dayton Moore because he fancies himself a role model. �I don�t look at this as a one-year thing, and I told Dayton that today,� said Francoeur, a 26-year-old outfielder who signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract last week. �I don�t want to have a great year, say �see ya� and go play somewhere else. �I want to be here when it turns around.� �When I was 21 years old, I had mentors like John Smoltz and Chipper Jones, guys that showed me how to do it,� said Francoeur, who understands the expectations that come with being a big-time prospect. �Here, you�ve got a lot of 21- or 22-year-old guys who are ready to come up and be stars for years. Hopefully I can help them out.� Royals Review�s Will McDonald tried listening to the above comments and concludes that Moore, �is not only bad an evaluating baseball players, he�s bad at identifying people more generally.� �Francoeur�s career has been an abject failure. He, without qualification, has not lived up to expectations. He has not been a winner. He has not handled failure well. He has not handled benchings well. What has he done well? If anything, he�s pretty clearly a bad example for young players. His example says precisely this, �live off the hype as long as you can, never change, and wait for an old scout to sign you years later.�� The Paylor puff piece http://www.kansascity.com/2010/12/13/2518224/francoeur-is-full-of-hope-as-he.html

Joel Zumaya? Not that he cares
