I have one spot left on my bench... I currently have Terrance West but I'm thinking of dropping him for Knile Davis... I don't know what makes more sense though... I can see it going either way... Ben Tate is probably more likely to get hurt than Jamaal Charles, but the upside of having Davis over West is massive... might be worth a gamble in the last spot? What are your thoughts? Who would you rather keep?

Anyways... since Putz has been sacked as a closer and unfortunately I was not able to pick up Bell in his place I'm not stuck with David Hernandez and Joel Peralta on my roster as "potential" closers... now that Johnny CUeto is coming back from the DL, I gotta drop one of them... hence the question... which one do you think has a better shot at closing in the near future? We know that Heath Bell is a disaster waiting to happen every night but Arizona is always stubborn with their closers as evident in the Putz scenario... I feel like they will ride Heath Bell into oblivion... but the other scenario isn't much better either... Rodney even though he's struggling is probably a better overall option than Bell is and I think still has a much longer leash... who do you think I should keep?

I just ordered a Sandisk Extreme 240GB SSD to replace the hard drive on my laptop. The current drive that I have will go in place of the optical drive. This is the first time I've done this so I'm not sure of how this will impact my laptop. I mean I know the performance will go up (I have a SSD in my gaming laptop and its tremendous) but how will it affect the weight and battery life? Will the HDD+caddy be heavier than the optical drive that I'll be taking out? How it affect battery life? I know 2 drives will draw more power technically but I feel like in most scenarios the storage drive will be idling and therefore might draw less power? I'm not sure... so for those that have done this, what does replacing your optical drive with another HDD do to your laptop in terms of weight and battery life? If the battery life gets worse... by how much?

Hardy seems like a more productive player overall... he does have 3HR's this year but is hitting below .200

Alex Gonzalez isn't doing much better with average... but .260 is better than .180... he also has 3HRs, but is more productive so far with RBI's... runs are similar... plus he also has the advantage of that terrible park in Milwaukee and a much stronger Brewers lineup...

anyways... who do you think will perform better for the rest of the year? Hardy or Gonzalez?

I have both on my fantasy team and both have been more than disappointing so far. Do you think they will contribute this season and are worth sticking with in their slump? How much do you seen them producing this year? Should I dump them? Who can I pick up instead? LoMo and Soriano are available but neither have been too good so far this year. Who else can I pick up if I want to dump Hunter/Francouer? Schafer and Fowler are available. Bryan LaHair maybe? Do you think Nolan Reimold will stay healthy this season? Any suggestions on OF replacements?

Which one you think will be more productive this year? Martinez or de Aza? de Aza hit his 2nd HR today, but still behind in RBIs... he hits leadoff for the White Sox so he will have more runs and SB's than Martinez... Martinez seems to have a better bat though and batting 4th-5th should help him with RBIs... granted he's batting in that spot for the Astros... which isn't saying much...

bottom line... who do you think will be more productive?! Martinez or de Aza?

what are your predictions for Vance Worley this year?

Games Started, Wins, K's, ERA...

would something like 28 GS, 13W,165K, 3.30 ERA be too much to ask of him?

was looking to add some more depth to my pitching rotation... anyways... anyone have recommendation on some sleepers? some rookies? I have Derek Holland that seems expandable...maybe Bud Norris... but I think I would rather keep Norris over Holland... was thinking about picking up Vance Worley? He should provide more wins that both Norris/Holland... but I was wondering if people were aware of some more interesting high-reward sleepers/rookies? Also what are your thoughts on Lohse?

Same goes with OF... I have Soriano and Delmon Young that I am just not sold on and was looking for a better alternative at OF/Util... I have Michael Morse coming back from DL this week so that should replace one of them... but I was thinking about the other one... first of all who would you drop first? Young or Soriano? and just like the question about SP... I have Moreland available... I was also looking at JD Martinez and Dayan Viciedo... any suggestions?

So the league I was in is kind of thin on 2B/SS so I ended up stuck with Beckham at 2B/SS... I do not feel very good about him though... the guys in the title is who are available in the league... I was leaning towards Alex Gonzalez... I can see him doing well in that Mil park and lineup...

What are your thoughts on Pennington and Infante? You think they might be a better choice than Beckham and Gonzalez?

What are some intriguing rookies that would probably be available that I can take a flyer on?

Thanks!

So a very good friend of mine is crazy... she managed to get picked up by this dude on FB and says that every girl would essentially be lucky to sleep with this guy:

I told her she's stupid and that I will do some research into it... so the question is:

1) what would you rate this guy?

2) would you ever sleep with him?

thank you!

Where does the name "tumbler" (glassware) come from? seems like a very strange name...

I apologize for asking this question again but I need more responses, the couple I got so far were very helpful but I need more opinions, thank you! here's the question:

So this is a very weird question because this whole situation is very unlike me and I don't know how to deal with this. Let me summarize it this way... I never have problems with women... somehow it just works... I never get hung up on someone, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work... I move on...

well this time it's really different... maybe its the fact that I'm getting older and re-evaluating my priorities, maybe it's the fact that this girl is really that awesome, but I need help. There is this girl who I really like. We get along great and seems like everything is awesome but it's really not. The problem comes from the fact that I really like her in more than a friend way and she really doesn't. I haven't known her for an incredibly long time (couple of months now) but we've been really close recently. I asked her to dinner, blah blah, you know the drill, she said no... I asked why? if there was something that I did or something wrong with my personality... she said no, that she loves my personality but just wants to be friends. From her tone, body language, knowing her pretty well I can guarantee you that the reason why she doesn't want to be anything more is that I'm not good looking enough for her. I'm sure of that, I'm very good at reading people. Also that's the funny thing, I'm not a bad looking guy but I guess not enough for her. So really there is nothing I can change about myself to "win" her... please don't suggest trying to change something because there really is nothing I can change. We get along amazingly, she just doesn't wanna date me. And that's alright, I'm not hurt. The problem is for some dumb reason I still really like her in more than a friend way and as I mentioned before, she doesn't. So now I gotta figure out how to stop liking her. Any suggestions? I can't outright stop seeing her, we have too many friends in common to cut ties completely and nor do I really want to do it, at the end of the day she's a great friend. So now I'm stuck trying to figure out the "grey zone"... I can't date her and there's nothing I can do to change her mind, and I can't not see her... so... how do I stop liking someone and accept just being friends? This is an awful situation and I've never had to deal with this... help please... thank you!

What do you guys think about a black suit, black shirt (with thin brighter vertical lines) and a solid red tie?
