What, did the horse racing gig not work out, Paulie?

A minor league invite couldn't hurt

Baseball wise, you're probably right

But I really, really dislike LoDuca on a personal level. Shouldn’t matter I realise, but he irritates me beyond belief.

Hmm . . .

Paul LoDuca/Omir Santos platoon? Is that too much grission for one position to handle?

Lo Duca's gritty right?

I’d give him 30 million over 3 years. We could get on his shoulders and ride him to a championship.

Champtionship, here we come!

So, a player in his late 30s, who has, over the years, been plagued with injuries that have kept him out of the game for significant periods of time as of late wants to return, citing that he’s “completely healthy”, and that his “heart’s into it” because he "feel[s] like [he] still [has] a lot to offer." Where have we heard that before…

As much as I don’t like Lo Duca that much, he probably wouldn’t be all that bad of a fit. I mean, can he be much worse than Santos? He’d be a cheap, low-risk/high-reward gamble, anyway. And, if there’s one thing Paul Lo Duca likes, it’s gambling. My mom also accidentally bought a Lo Duca T-shirt two seasons ago, and I want her to be able to wear it again, so why not?

I think he'd be a better fit because we sign over the hill players who have very little chance of panning out

and then play them far too often.

And then give them extensions

then offer to pay them deferred payments of 1.25$ M for 25 years after they retire.

Paulie

Theres a club in my town, rule is 25+ older for males, 18+ for females. That might be more up your alley.

Wow

is that even legal?

by deadspy3 on Nov 20, 2009 9:59 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Rules like that are in place to protect the women

as the 18-24 year old men are ‘immature’ and dangerous. Personally, I’d be more worried about the 25+ male looking for an 18 year old ala Paulie BigNuts.

At first glance that sounds creepy

But I imagine all someone would have to do is spend 15 minutes in a student section at a college football game to understand why it makes perfect sense.
