    If he's only talking about Murphy, point conceded. There seems to be a bit more grandstanding than that though.

    Chi was right......the margarita sundae wasn't very good......damn!

    Again, that's all I'm saying. This isn't the 1st or 50th this has been discussed, don't expect points for originality
  4. twinsnorth49
    Agreed, if only it was a tiny bit though, or even a bit, or even quite a bit would be reasonable. We left all those behind ages ago. Carry on.

    Ahhh, another life of Ryan thread, my favourite. And all because we traded Aaron HIcks of all people.
  6. twinsnorth49
    .......right, didn't I say outfielder? My bad.

    Well, not the catcher upgrade I was personally hoping for but higher end options are limited and we don't know the possible asking prices. I'm satisfied Murphy can potentially fill the need for the Twins, being 24 has some upside. He'll likely hit better than Suzuki and he'll definitely provide better defense. I was starting to like Hicks more and more actually, but I was never quite convinced he was going to be able to really hold down a corner OF spot, especially with his left side struggles. I'm intrigued as to what the 2nd phase of this trade might mean from the OF perspective. With Hunter retiring, Hicks traded and Buxton almost surely to start the 2016 season in AAA, that leaves Rosario as our only returning outfielder from 2015, seems like Span/Revere 2.0. Maybe the Sano talk is more real than we think, unless a lot is still yet to come. Buckle up. Nobody got taken on this trade, neither player is, or will be, good enough for that to be the case, imo.

    I love this thread....it scares the **** out of me, but I love it.

    Red Velvet?! ....oh yeah!
  10. twinsnorth49
    I like icing. I wonder when National Red Velvet Day is? I'd take the day off.
  11. twinsnorth49
    Who?!, who doesn't like the cupcake?!! Btw, are we talking vanilla icing, or the boring cake part?
  12. twinsnorth49
    Ok thanks, I'm relieved and my faith is restored.
  13. twinsnorth49
    No No Maybe, preferably not but maybe No No No Holy Hell, God No!!

    Ugh, that looks like cheese sauce! Good nachos should at least use a variety of real cheese, and that plate looks decidedly lacking in jalepenos. Good god man, I expect more from Texas considering nachos are a Tex-Mex dish! Tell me you at least had a good beer?!!

    Whew! I thought the title of this thread meant " Surprise, Surprise, they resigned Mike Pelfrey". Back to having a good day.
  16. twinsnorth49
    He has a strong enough arm to be a legitimate MLB SS, the rest is just a bunch of noise If he continues to ops in the neighbourhood of the. 754 he did this year and. 721 the previous year, his defense is more than passable.
  17. twinsnorth49
    Subway fans? There's such a thing anymore?
  18. twinsnorth49
    Still single eh?
  19. twinsnorth49
    But my wife didn't make our house either……unless she had a second job I didn't know about. Then again I've seen her with a hammer, I'm skeptical.
  20. twinsnorth49
    Wait, shouldn't that be National Housewives Day? Wouldn't Housewife's still be singular? What's happening? Someone get me a sandwich! Ducks!
  21. twinsnorth49
    You literally meant he doesn't have the strongest arm in MLB? .................ok then.
  22. twinsnorth49
    When did this myth about Escobar not having a very strong arm start and why does it perpetuate? I have never seen any evidence that it's true. Also, I believe his UZR and defensive runs saved were decidedly above average in both 2014 and 15.
  23. twinsnorth49
    As many times as it takes for someone to be proven right about him.

    drjim, on 02 Nov 2015 - 6:57 PM, said: Crushed is a pretty strong term, but I do think they open themselves up to harsher criticism when they are more openly in opposition to said social issue. I'd be quicker to excuse guys like Hunter for their generational ignorance if they did it indifferently, but he was more than just not moving fast enough, he was publicly against it, which is in essence going completely the opposite direction. So Hunter is a status quo guy? So much for all that leadership talk. Great leaders are not afraid to fight against established ideas and practices, they have the ability to see unfairness and take a stand. That's likely far too much to expect of a guy like Hunter, I know I never expected it from him. The criticism doesn't come from his not taking a stand for change, it comes from his doing the exact opposite.

    Amen, but mainly the Axe, Floyd is currently back where he belongs but that damn axe has been away far too long, 11 years for crying out loud! A win against Bucky would make this season a successful one.
