@AlCimaglia Okay Al, you were right! No buyout! Glad to be wrong here.

@Masterofwhine Everybody couldn't have been more gracious when we visited not too long ago. They would let me try to speak French until I got stuck, also. Who knew the 4 yrs of HS French slip away by middle age?

@ClueHeywood It's your game, the rules are your own, win or lose...

@ClueHeywood Great book about the show: https://t.co/AiI13OdvK4

@AlCimaglia Where do you project Frondell's ceiling?

[bricap @bricap01]

@Super70sSports If Bo had played NFL only for 10 full seasons wothout serious injury, he would have made a strong case for best RB ever.

@NHLBlackhawks Please fix CHSN. I bet Rockford has a better feed than this!

[bricap @bricap01]

@AlCimaglia Thanks for the replies, Al.

[bricap @bricap01]

@AlCimaglia Can't imagine they expected a ton when they got him for a contract that was bought out. Seemed okay at the time. Get above the salary floor, plus a real scratch off ticket. Sometimes these pay off, sometimes they don't. Worked in the case of Dickinson and Mikheyev.

[bricap @bricap01]

@AlCimaglia Cap hit would be $3 mill next yr and $1.25 mill the yr after. They bought out Brodie last summer, though there was very little cap savings there. Sometimes buyouts have to happen regardless.

[bricap @bricap01]

@AlCimaglia But watching today, the cumulative injuries appear to have taken a toll on him. A buyout would not surprise me.

[bricap @bricap01]

@AlCimaglia Given we are in the period between deadline and new prospects arriving, I still believe it was right to exhaust or uncover the trade possibilities. They aren't going anywhere regardless of if or where Burakovsky plays. I don't expect him to stay there once the prospects arrive.

Kevin Youkilis with his unique batting stance. In his entire major league career, across 4,444 plate appearances, he never swung at a 3-0 pitch.

@ClueHeywood I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

@ClueHeywood @Carebearkill3r Kidding aside, I haven't been to one of his spots in years. Chicago is way more than Frontera.

[bricap @bricap01]

@ClueHeywood @Carebearkill3r His brother is worse.

[bricap @bricap01]

@Carebearkill3r @ClueHeywood As Bayless has said, people who open up spots in Chicago have more license to make the dishes from their home provinces, instead of doing it as it's always been done in a given border state. As a result, tons of variety here. Just not so much in River North or Naperville.

[bricap @bricap01]

@Carebearkill3r @ClueHeywood There are many spots in Phoenix that cater to that same palate and to the Margaritaville crowd, too. They vacation there and they move there, after all. Thankfully Phoenix has a lot more to offer than those places.

[bricap @bricap01]

@Carebearkill3r @ClueHeywood Chicago has great Mexican food. But if you look there for what is popular in PHX, you probably will not find it.
