Game 34: Gamethread #3

Pat Neshek left Thursday’s game in the eighth inning with an apparent elbow injury.
Neshek winced after a delivery, bringing the trainer out. The Twins’ said he felt a “pop” in his elbow, so he could be done for a long time. Carmen Cali and Ricky Barrett are a couple of the candidates to join the team if Neshek lands on the DL.

but mostly because they will insert charles kaufman into their bullpen and he will be even better than neshek

figures that it would take somebody getting injured to make you smile.

Repeat after me: reading comprehension, even a little bit of thought before posting, and basic research are not signs of weakness.

the short squeeze in on

does anybody actually use priceline? the answer is apparently yes. and all those people who thought the answer was no and got short are in for a rude awakening tomorrow morning. +20 points.

i wish someone had told me that sportsnation had replaced rationality with caps lock.

STFU

LOL. Like MM’s YouTube, your repetition has become humorous.

MM, spring back in your step after YHOO? We need ye in good form – got a West Coast beat-down comin’.

I took the "under".

trying to make a comeback. that yhoo was a severe beatdown.

after goog earnings this quarter i was expecting a little more volatility in the rest of the momentum stocks. didn’t get what i was looking for. reeling it back in. time to be a singles hitter again.

I don't trade,

though I did just flip CROX today. Also screaming on the oil/commodity funds since October-ish.

Now, of course, have taken it in the shorts on GRMN, though it’s in my wife’s account (she’s a runner and bought me one for Christmas that I never use).

Is trading your predominant means of earning a living, or are you jackin’ around? I’d never make it as a trader – too Ozzie-like am I.

yeah, it's my career. not sure i could stand doing anything else. then again, trading ain't perfect either. i'd like to retire, really, but that ain't happening yet.

and i kinda like the crox flip

that stock is ripe for a short squeeze. hope you were short from like 60+ points ago. i think that thing has one more good runup in it before it settles down to the $2 range.

btw, i was fairly sure i heard you talking about something with clients and investing, what is that you do?

19 years ago today I got my 7, but it’s evolved to where the last 7 I’m strictly a planner. I used to trade options like a banshee in the mid-’90’s (what a blast) but got burned out looking at screens. Would rather talk with folks than watch a screen (like now, right?). More satisfying helping through life events than the latest score (but there is no rush like getting a trade called in the right direction – absolutely) for this 94 year-old..

I took the "under".
