    Trea Turner definitely sounds like he's open to signing with the Dodgers long-term
    "This is a great place to play. It’s a first-class organization…This is definitely a place I could see myself playing long term...this year is so much better than last year."


    I joke about Soto but resigning Trea and keeping our top young players>losing Trea AND all the young players for Soto




    I just don't see a world where we could have both of them but it's fun to dream

    re-signing trea before he reaches free agency should be our #1 priority

    Reading the trade rumors and the packages offered for Soto by the potential suitors, I think the Dodgers have the best package offer, headlined by Dustin May, and some really top prospects, like Bobby Miller included.
    Just my tuppence, but it's real talent packed group.
    I'd throw in that guy Dave Roberts, too... but that's just me.

    And Juan Soto is the next Delino?
    Nobody will care if we lose pedro martinez if we get barry bonds.

    You know someone might argue that you are all over the spectrum here.

    In one breath you are so sure you bring up jesus wept.
    In the next breath... well its subjective until its indicative.

    For your own sake stop listening to how jordan peterson answers questions.
    Its starting to bleed in.
    I know you a professor like him but you need a better role model.

    all this soto hypothesizing may be fun, but it’s not realistic
    the cost is too much for just one guy
    the front office’s #1 priority should be re-signing trea — who has now gone on record saying he likes the city, his teammates, and could envision playing here a long time
    dude won the batting title last year, and is actually playing better this year
    why is this not done yet?

    These arent your flatbush dodgers of brooklyn.
    These are your hollywood dodgers of los angeles.
    Traded in the church by the brook for a crystal cathedral on top of an indian burial ground.
    You cant reach blue heaven without breaking a few red skulls.
    Yeah we been hating the giants since time began in the east and we will be hating giants until civilization ends in the west.
    But giants were the same as dodgers once.
    For a short time.
    In truth they came before us.
    And showed us the way.
    So then we said thank you maam and took the way for ourselves.
    They might be giants.
    But we think we gods... gift.
    And the reason they giants is not because they tall.
    But because they know it all.
    And we just now getting the downfall.
    Like we gave them with the FDA approved blankets.
    And we do with the FDA approved vaccine and mask mandates.
    Making you into a giant.
    Which is to say a pagan.
    Someone from the dark ages.
    From tartary to barbary.
    Where witnesses go to die silently.
    In concentrated groups.
    Where only some can survive.
    In a little flock.
    Of braves reserved for the end.
    With long memories.
    Giant memories you could say.
    But held hostage.
    By the foresight of an artful dodger.

    I really don’t understand what the holdup could be. This should have already been handled.

    Well what i said was that im in the math club, the latin club, and the physics club.
    The ph...sics club.

    I had a bit of a stutter.
    The sweet pretty preppy girl the rest of the kids thought was conceited was mine until college. She asked me to cut my hair. I took her from sporto.
    And i still didnt cut my hair.

    I tried out for baseball, basketball, and football. The coaches demanded i cut my hair. They all cut me but let me train with the teams and be the practice dummy.
    And i still didnt cut my hair.

    Well until i joined the navy and the man said son we gonna have to cut your hair.
    And i said... shave it off!

    Because in high school i was the stereotypical loser sitting on the bench mocking the jocks and the preps and fighting almost everyday against anyone who made my day by fucking with someone i was hanging out with.

    Yup, my dead grandpas old flannels, my older cousins hand me down beat up jackets they didnt want, jeans i always fucjed up by playing in them, uncles old work boots or cheap high top delta force basketball sneakers, and clothes from the thrift store or the church clothes they give away.
    But not all the acroutments like rings and necklaces and chuck taylors or whatever clothes i saw multiple kids wearing later.
    I didnt have access to things like that or most branded clothing. Stuff that was cool was not affordable and if it was i wasnt getting what i wanted i was getting whatever i was being given.
    I must be evil by nature.
    Or i was raised right as heavy metal became pop ballads and everything else had a deeeep detroit houseparty bassline.
    I wasnt wearing those big ass pants and the sketcher boots with the wood paneling on the side and the big sharp block in the heel.
    No fucking way.
    I could play basketball in docs but not in those elk hooved motherfuckers.
    And while everyone enjoyed it for a while rock n roll had become Richard Marx with some distortion.
    Greedy materialism and the tackyness of it all made a lot of us not give a fuck about image being everything.
    So image became nothing at all.
    Or a mirror to break.

    When i wasnt playing basketball with the black guys i was hanging out with the nerds and the heshers and the homeboys and the wetbacks and the lesbians and the dorks and the bible carrying girl who usually ate alone or with the obese twins and dirtbag white guys selling weed and japanese video games and kung fu magazines in the rear bathrooms.
    Shit i would even hang out with the teachers because i would sneak into the lounge to talk to one of the girls that worked there. Ive always preferred thin slightly stuffy classy broads. Even if they a year or some older.
    Here i go getting tangential about mousy office clerks secretly wearing sexy tanga underwear.

    But thats what you get when your only friend is jesus and you hang out with the peole who would give jesus the time.
    You also arent around when first dibs are being made.
    Hey jesus wasnt around for first divs either. He had to wait for the second round.
    Thank god for snake drafts amiright guys.
    Ja!

    When jesus is your only friend you might lose some types of friends but you get access to an entire web of fascinating people with all kinds of stories about their daily life.
    People who wont ever tell you to cut your greasy hair.
    Because they arent assholes.
    And assholes are like yankees.
    You want to know how its the absolute truth?
    Because its something even giants and dodgers fans can agree on.
    That yankees are assholes and these assholes suck when they were made to blow.
    So fuck em.
    In their goad loving ass.

    Now i hope you understood the words coming out of my penmenship.
    That while im all those kids in detention and i look like the semi mysterious neanderthal with unkempt hair big eyes and permanent grin playing with the kids in the hall waiting for ally sheedy to get out so i could walk her home.

    You thought i forgot about baby.
    Nah, see... you got me all twisted there bub.
    Thats not me.
    I love the shy goth girl that wants me to listen to her favorite cure or morrisey song but then i find her erasure and omd songs in her mixtapes and i rather dance to that than deep house.
    No offense because when in got in my 20s i enjoyed edm for a bit because the lesbians did love the house music and they liked hanging around.

    Im just a big kid inside.
    They used to call me el niño i was such a kid.
    I probably shouldnt have hung out with those pretty dikes in college.
    I became very bad at schoolwork all of a sudden. I was always drinking and probably getting contact highs from everyone else.
    I was never in the room with the coke guys and the speed girls.
    So when i was with a speed girl i did not like opening a door at a party and finding her with the other group of chemical practitioners.
    i was probably insecure about the speed girls sucking off the guy with the powders so i wasnt a fan of the scene.
    But i digress.

    If this is still difficult for your bpm i can put the next one to a tune for you.
    Since we friends and all.
    Afterall i do have a lute.
    I can play it in a pinch.
    If that will help you sing along.
    Might as well play to the choir.
    Its not like its ever gonna make me any loot.

    In this current world.
    But we approaching currents we havent had here since 1969.
    The kind that start in the gulf of mexico.
    And end up in finland.
    You ever body surfed with the fishes and the eels on a stormy summer night?
    The waves are calm at night.
    You just gotta fill up to the top of your lungs then drop your chin forward into your throat.
    And float on.
    Theres no lifeguards to yell at you from the shore or come and take you out by force.
    Its fun.
    You should try it once.
    Well as long as you know how to swim.
    You should.
    Its good for your health to be in your natural environment.
    But look out.
    Cement shoes dont last forever.
    Even the sea will spit out its dead soon.
    And they will come with all their new friends from the marine kingdom of the sea peoples.
    Landlubber.

    Oh look at the time.
    Looks like my 11 is up.
    You know time...
    If god was the god of time and space the way the geist of the world keeps telling us wouldnt his natural manifestation in our human understanding be that of a time traveler?

    Im just kidding about that last one guys.
    Yall really thought i was gonna go all into a long ass time/god conspiracy lol.
    Yall funny.
    Go to bed and have pleasant dreams of blownjobs and lollipops.
    After reading all this you for sure earned em.
