    Much too serious a question for the game thread! We prefer questions like... Who was the first person to walk up to a cow and say I'm thirsty... I wonder if she'll mind?.

    Let's see... Vipers, Thunderbirds, Stingrays, Rams, Mustangs, Jaguars, Impalas, Cougars, Broncos and Beetles have protein.

    So far great... Keeping the ball down... One deep fly... Otherwise... They ain't doing anything at the plate.

    I gotta get new material...

    Wouldn't you know it... I have the transcript right here. Mark from Grand Forks asked "what do people from China call their good plates?"
  6. Riverbrian
    People from Grand Forks are capable of asking better questions... We should make him move to Fargo!

    When my son was 9... I told him that I was getting a clown for my 5 year old sons birthday. He got kind of excited about it and he asked me "A real clown or some guy dressed as a clown"?

    GLORM!!! You Old So and So... What's the good Word? Now you Type -- Beer on the House... That's 4 words but I just don't want to break up a perfect family of words.

    Change the third line to "If I should die before a win shall pass" Then change the 4th line

    I assume everyone is still into Gibson's turn in the rotation.

    Can I take Deduno... without the hodgepodge of talents?
  15. Riverbrian
    I love MLB Debuts... I look at those players and just imagine the core shaking process they are going through. Career, Hopes, Dreams, it's all on the line. This is the first impression moment. It's reality TV at it's best... While my wife is watching Survivor and wondering who is going to get that immunity thing-a-ma-jig. I'm watching baseball and baseball just beats it tenfold. A pitcher with a baseball in his hands facing a guy with a bat in his hands. The critics are assessing, the sabrematricians are calculating and the scoreboard is keeping score. Will this guy head down the path of a baseball career or future bar owner. Why would anyone watch Survivor, The Bachelor, American Idol or Chopped when a baseball game is on... is beyond me. Go get em... Mr. Tonkin.

    I agree on Carroll, Newman and Reboulet. Being the huge Revere supporter that I am... I can't go along with Revere because of his incredible speed. Speed will always be a part of the game in my opinion and his speed is just to off the charts. I agree with you on Dozier... To me it's pretty simple... If you have the power to leave the yard... You can also hit doubles in the gap and singles up the middle. If you can leave the yard... You can hit balls squarely... If you can hit balls squarely... You can produce!!! So... Stop swinging at what the pitcher wants you to swing at so you can hit balls squarely. It's really pretty simple. When you do that... Your production increases. Very Hard to do though because these pitchers are quite good!

    I get that... No Question... Signing a player like Sanchez would be wonderful for any organization... no matter where they are in the building process... (For this year at least). Sanchez is pitching well... He'd look great in a Twins uniform. However... if the conversation is that Terry Ryan isn't doing his job because he didn't sign a player like Sanchez... You have to include all of his options and Edwin Jackson has to become part of the discussion... Because they were 2A and 2B during the off season. I just don't know what Terry Ryan is cooking. I assume it's going to be wonderful and I assume it isn't Microwave speed. I also don't know if the recipe includes a player like Sanchez in 2013. Maybe the Sanchez type player is supposed to be added to the recipe later instead of now. Maybe the recipe calls for a Alex Meyer type player later. The job isn't done... We are still losing. Grading Terry Ryan right now is going to look bad because we are losing. It's quite possible that we are looking into the pot of soup that isn't finished cooking and saying... I don't like it... It's just possible that it ain't done yet. I don't know.

    I just struggle to hang a GM over Free Agent's that he should have signed. We have no idea if the Twins made overtures for Sanchez. We have no idea what Sanchez thought about everything. I also notice... Not much talk about Edwin Jackson or Dan Haren right now. Deduno is matching Greinke right now... We seem to be focusing on the one guy who is working out. 30 Teams in the league... Free Will for the players. We just don't know. It may seem like shopping at the supermarket but these cans of Tomato Sauce can decide if they are jumping into your cart. If you decide to entice the Tomato Sauce to jump into your cart by paying 20 dollars for it. You change the market for the prices of all Tomato Sauce and Lipton Ice Tea for everybody. We also don't know if the current recipe being cooked up by Terry Ryan calls for Tomato sauce.

    you are working to hard for Jelly Beans... I just check the couch cushions... I usually find one or two.
  20. Riverbrian
    This... Exactly this!!! Dozier has home run pop... A great glove for 2B. When hitters stop swinging at crap... Numbers start improving and the old MLB numbers don't matter anymore. You gotta give someone like this some time... I'm keeping him without any question at all. He will let me know later if its time to walk away.

    I wanted one of the upper tier Free Agent Starters that were still young enough to be decent 3 years from now. Sanchez... Jackson... McCarthy... Haren... Marcum. When we didn't sign one of those 5... I would have immediately graded Terry Ryan's offseason as a C. Now that 4 of those 5 have been struggling in 2013. I upgrade Terry Ryan's off season to a B... Because I would have wasted significant cash on Edwin Jackson.
  22. Riverbrian
    Exactly why I love the game!!!
  23. Riverbrian
    I do... Magic 8 Balls says... All Signs are good!!!
  24. Riverbrian
    Yeah Well... If you are going to say mean things about me... Why don't you just sign up for Twins Daily and join the crowd!!!
