  1. I like Molitor because I am a St. Pauli Girl, but Jim Pohlad throwing down that gauntlet will not get us the most optimal GM or head of baseball operations.
  2. Tonight, it looks like it is Dozier's world and we are just living in it.
  3. You say that as a joke and I hope it was with the best intentions. It is more complex than that and in different parts of the world it is common place. Eating meat from a dog is no different than eating meat from a cow, pig or chicken. Maybe it freaks out some of us western nations because we are so entwined with the "Man's Best Friend" concept. I'd try some dog if put into that scenario, it would be awkward as I grew up in the U.S.A, and I was under that sphere of influence.

  4. Hey David. How is the food in Hong Kong? What are your favorites?
  5. I live in St. Paul. In the winter it is hard to drag your ass out of bed, go out into that nasty cold weather, warm the car up, go back inside, go back out out, deal with awful drivers if it is snowing. Zero Degrees hurts in a bad way. In the summer, I spring out of bed, do my thing, run out to my car all gleeful, go to work with a fantastic disposition. When my work is done for the day, I get into my car and it is 110 degrees… that hurts in a good way.
  6. I banish you to Bangkok, Thailand in the year 1885.
  7. Agreed. It is mid-June. Give me 85+ or give me death!
  8. I'm gonna try something sort of different today. I am wiping the slate clean today. I know there won't be any playoffs and 90 losses seems clinched for the Twins. But I call out to the baseball force that flows through us all to change the tides of a regrettable season. Today will be the day the Twins start playing competitive, watchable games, and the young guys start to pick it up. We may lose, but let us lose with honor and pride. Mr. Ryan will also have an epiphany and start taking chances on the hotshots in AAA (Berrios, Chargois, etc.). As for the coaches, teach the players well and execute decisions that are based on 2016 Major League Baseball. The past only includes old ideas that are usually bad and defunct, riddled with worthless nostalgia, and in my opinion, forward thinking is exciting, challenging, scary at times, and absolutely the right way to go. I commemorate this moment with a bottle of clean slate Rally Rum! Lex Talionis!
  9. Patrick Duffy did a great job there. I cannot wait till we play Dallas. That will be war!
  10. Good job Kep. Some more reparations payed off.
  11. This Grossman kid is weirding me out… WTF?
  12. They tried it in the late 40's early 50's, they did not like it. Heck, they liked to party at that time and raise some hell. My Grandpa was an heavy machinery instructor for 4 years in the Army and they gave up the farm and moved to the Twin Cities. He then became a crane operator.
  13. Same here Platoon. I'm just not sure if that was the case or not and I agree with the whole of your response.
  14. I'll take one more shot - Terry Ryan's blood and liquid from his adrenaline gland with scotch on rocks followed with a chaser of Red Bull?
  15. Grandpa was 1928 and Grandma was 1932. Their fathers would have been old enough to be WWI, but I am not sure if they served. They were full blooded German, I am not sure they were very desirable for service.
  16. Nice one, two combo North. I'm busting a gut over here!
  17. That too! It especially fits the WWII time frame.
  18. My mother's parents grew on farms in the heartland of Wisconsin. They came from huge families. I think my grandpa had 11 or 12 siblings and my grandma had 5. They all moved to the Twin Cities or Milwaukee except for 3 of them. It's a hard life.
  19. Maybe I am wrong, but I think the OP's intention was to have a fun thread and a fun conversation. Everyone knows you cannot change the past, that's obvious, and every thread does not have to be so serious.
