    I travel a lot for work and somehow conistently get upgraded to Yukon's, so I've driven them a lot. Cons, you need a telescope powered rear view mirror to see out the back if a small car is in your blind spot, forget shoulder checking, it will be below your sightline (not that it will matter, you will crush them) you need a stepladder to get in them. Fuel Fuel Fuel good luck parking the damn thing in a parking stall anywhere but Costco (which appear to be built for these vehicles in mind) Parallel park?.....ha ha ha ha!!! If you buy a black one the cops will assume you're a drug dealer Pros They do drive nice, quiet inside and enough torque that the engine is never pushed You can pull a small home with one, if you're the outdoorsy type. You can transport an entire Little League baseball team plus equipment in one.

    +1, as much as I'm ok with the return on Span and Revere, the fact that TR was willing to bluff his way through not having a legitimate CF always baffled me. It was Hicks or Hicks from the beginning, Benson being waived a third of the way in is proof positive if that.
  9. twinsnorth49
    Glad to see Arcia back, chuck him in CF and let him hit, in a season like this it's no big sacfrifice.
  10. twinsnorth49
    Yeah, they did the same thing with Plouffe for the calf strain......progress, I'll take it.

    Nope, I vote for yours........and you win the pointless title while we're at it.

    I didn't say they were replicas, but if you don't see the similar design elements to the last years of the North Stars and the first years in Dallas, then ok. Hartford was green, that's about where it ends, they never had contrasting shoulders on any of their jerseys, never had a double sleeve stripe and used a much different striping pattern at the bottom. Plus I don't ever seem to recall the use of a star, always thought it was a W.
  14. twinsnorth49
    Well, this was pretty much my point, I realize there was little to no chance of Benson turning anything around but it still makes little sense in terms of what they chose to keep instead, that's all......I really don't care, just curious.
  15. twinsnorth49
    I'm certainly not losing any sleep over this move but this is really the jist of it and it's pretty hard to defend. Whatever your stance on Benson is, why not just ride it out and see if he can start raking a bit and at the very least flip him for something if the timing is right? At 25 he's still intriguing enough for that to be a possibility to somebody, as opposed to a number of other stiffs currently residing on the 40 man that should have no part in any future success the team might have, or anyone else's.

    Going back to the roots....a little UND ish too though.

    I typically watch the other teams feed but am a sucker for punishment a lot. I usually watch the archived games later at night on MLBTV, due to life stuff, the radio feed doesn't sync well with recorded video........and then theres Gladden.
  19. twinsnorth49
    I'm a pretty light hearted guy and I got over myself at least 25 years ago but my wife wonders why I keep telling my computer to shut-up when I watch Twins games. It's like he's found an extra strong verbal laxitive this year in particular.

    Speaking of Bert, did anyone catch the 20 minute sermon he gave to the fan who traded Hermann's HR ball for a Mauer autographed ball? He was just beside himself that the fan would have the nerve to ask for anything is return, he stayed on his high horse about how he, in his grand and classy way would have just graciously handed the ball over for nothing. Big deal, the guy got a Mauer ball he probably gave to his kid or grandkid, get out of your Ivory tower you sanctimonious ass! There.....done......thanks.
  21. twinsnorth49
    Don't encourage him, any reprieve from listening to Bert is a welcome one.
  22. twinsnorth49
    Wha?? Why would Pressely not be on the 40 man? He's done nothing but mostly dominate in his limited opportunities and he's 23. Roeincke has been more than serviceable, as has Swarzak (although I'll agree both should be easily upgradeable). Who is going to play SS if not Florimon? They didn't look to replace him this past off-season and he's been better so far this year, which has to make you think they'll roll with him again. The rest, you're right, don't much care.
  23. twinsnorth49
    I get the feeling some people here will be following Benson's career morely closely than when he was a Twin. I'm really going to enjoy the quarterley Benson updates for the next 3-5 years. It was a questionable move to be sure, but 284 posts worth......seriously?!

    Poor side Not poor side See the difference? I feel for ya Glunn.
