    I'm old fashioned. I think Wins are the most important stat.

    The only Boo's I've ever gotten happened here on TD after some sub-par game thread opens.
  3. Riverbrian
    I'm going back to Maid-Rites tomorrow.

    I doubt Morrison is laughing his way to the bank. I'd be willing to bet he is hurting. It's like if someone got hit by a car and you stood on the curb and booed the guy laying on the ground.
  5. Riverbrian
    I'm going back for seconds... this time I'm buying it for the cook so he understands what he just did.
  6. Riverbrian
    My arms is accurate I won't boo... But a Hot Dog plunking could be funny.

    Seriously though... I've been to Lockhart Texas for BBQ, I've been to Kansas City for BBQ... Memphis, Carolina, Alabama, Georgia. I found some real good BBQ in Grand Rapids, Michigan. You'd figure with all those pig farms in Iowa... they'd find something decent to slather on it.

    I'll be there Saturday. Unfortunately... I don't boo players so I won't be able to help.
  9. Riverbrian
    Thanks... It was hard enough as it is. It was supposed to be the best BBQ in Iowa. That may be so but I now realize it was a very low bar to clear.

    He might get that treatment in Minnesota on Friday if Molly gives him another start. Minnesota Nice has limits.
  11. Riverbrian
    I still say that Morrison will figure something out eventually but yeah... I'm making this point for quite some time. Molly would be better served trying someone else every once in awhile. Meanwhile... The Pillow deal signed by Morrison has no goose feathers. He's gonna have to find himself a goose.
  12. Riverbrian
    I haven't been following along... Went to get some dinner. But let me guess... The cup is overflowing with Morrison compliments?
  13. Riverbrian
    LoMo may be at the point where his batting average is so low that when he gets an out... the average goes up.
  14. Riverbrian
    I should have stayed in Albert Lea.
  15. Riverbrian
    Of course not... Swanky Hotel with Direct TV.

    Tonight it's the "NO" network. Dear MLB, You have recently publicly expressed a need to grow your audiences. Making it easier for fans to watch baseball would be a good place to start. Sincerely, Riverbrian P.S. Uncle... the Twins don't want to play the Yankees anymore. We give up.
  17. Riverbrian
    Good thing I wasn't able to see that home run. Sitting in a hotel in Des Moines. They have the YES Network but it is blocked due to the completely not understandable blackout rules.
  18. Riverbrian
    Skin tags, milk left on the counter for 4 days, Shrapnel, The DMV, and a low grade fever that just doesn't go away.

    I see your point however... The large pen needs to be larger than it has to be because you are wasting a 25 man spot on a pitcher that will only be used when he has little to no effect. Having a larger pen means a shorter bench and a shorter bench means you have less pinch hit options for LaMarre so you have to burn both Mauer and Grossman pinch hitting for LaMarre. Having a larger pen means that Molly can't pinch hit for Adrianaza when Sano is the DH. That's just what I thought of this morning and I don't have the immediate time to put a full brain on it. Give me some time and I can come up with a more comprehensive list of reasonable roster (seasonal and game) situations where burning a 25 roster spot will compromise your favorite baseball team. Why would a contending team want to carry a player with little to no effect on the bottom line?
  20. Riverbrian
    Are you a contender? If you are a contender... you don't waste a roster spot on a rule 5 guy unless you know he can keep up with the rest... It's pretty simple. If you are not a contender... grab 7 rule 5 guys... it doesn't matter. If you trade for Odorizzi, Sign Lance Lynn, Fernando Rodney, Addison Reed, Logan Morrison and significantly increase payroll that suggests that you fancy yourself a contender. If you spend that money and make those moves... it makes no sense to marginalize your gains with intentional losses. If you are a contender... each roster spot on the 25 man roster is gold because there hasn't been a single time in history that any club hasn't needed contributions from more than 25 guys to win. Right now... the front office has to ask themselves one question. Is Kinley a tweak away? If he is... make the tweak now. If he will have to be hidden for a couple of months... cut him. You need people who perform if you are a contender. Before the season began... the front office needed to ask themselves one question... Are you a contender? Or are you not a contender? I say we are... Kinley on the roster... seems to suggest that we are not.

    I checked the standings just to be sure. Yesterday morning we were 8-8 This morning we are 8-9. No matter how bad it was. It ended up as only one loss in the loss column.
  22. Riverbrian
    Making the manager side step a Rule 5 on (what should be ) a contending team is tough to defend. With that said... It's a marathon... not a sprint. I'm probably gonna keep typing that for awhile.
  23. Riverbrian
    Missed Call by the Ump is now up to 3 runs. 4 Runs total counting Hicks in the 1st inning. If they are called correctly... We would still be losing but I'd have less to fixate on.
  24. Riverbrian
    I grit my teeth every time. They have the technology.
  25. Riverbrian
    Another missed 3rd strike by the ump leads to a run.
