Single in California

Dating in California runs the gamut, from high-powered attorneys in BMWs to laid-back hippies surfing at the beach. No matter what you're into, you can probably find it in California - although you might have to drive a while to get there.

California also has some of the best destination restaurants in the country, second only to New York City. Want to really impress your date? Try one of these ultra-luxe eateries and get your fancy food bag on!

Dating in New York City

How can such a big city feel so limited? There are millions of people in New York City, but it can be hard to find that someone special. A recent survey of Big Apple residents had some interesting insights: most New Yorkers wait at least a few dates before hooking up, and less than half would hook up after a great first date. A whopping 26% wait a few weeks before hitting the sack, which seems surprising. Maybe I have been doing it wrong all along. (Or right!)

Bring Your Date to a New York-area Theme Park

When you’re looking for something to do on that day you get to spend some time with your someone special, consider taking a trip to one of New York’s many local theme parks. You may have to travel out of the city a little ways to find something you like, but the fun you have will make the trip worth it. Adventureland is just a short ways east of the city and is a classic amusement park filled with all sorts of great rides and attractions.

The Problem with Nick Franklin as SuperSub

.

Merks axs a very good question:

merksI know it's not ideal but I would rather have Franklin as my DH 4 times a week with a game or two in the field than trade him or send him down to Tacoma. Am I missing something here or has this been talked about?

....

SSI is all about creative thinking, but .... Let's start with an understanding how how most ML teams view reserve infielders (which is, like it or not, how they would view Nick Franklin if he were on the 25-man roster).

They view it as a VERY difficult, you could almost say near-impossible, assignment:  Your Willie Bloomquist, or your Mark McLemore, that guy is there to raise the manager's comfort level.  He has to sit on the bench, and be ready to play:

  • Second base, maybe
  • Shortstop, maybe
  • Third base, maybe
  • Other things too, maybe (pinch-run, fill in a double-switch, etc etc)

And he has to do so at a time when the manager is frazzed out.  The regular third baseman is drunk and hung over, let's say, and you got CC Sabathia in New York, and he looks down the bench, he doesn't want to see a kid with eyes like saucers.  Willie is there to jump into SS for one day and -- say it with Dr. D, now -- Not. Hurt. the. Team.

The reserve infielder is there to FEEL very reliable -- and to do so as a second baseman.  Then to feel very reliable as a third baseman.  Then to FEEL very reliable, as a shortstop.

Great new Netflix streaming movies

I can’t believe that March is more than halfway over, and I have yet to discuss some of the great new Netflix streaming movies this month. Truth: I’ve been a little bit too busy with work, and instead of my usual late-night Netflix binges, I’ve been basically passing out each night in my comfy chair. We’ve all been there. It’s just a phase, and I have no doubt I’ll be back in tip top movie watching form soon enough.
