Hillary picked apart Trump last night from the opening round. I scored it 118-108.
-
Yeah she is, or she is pretty damn close to being one. IMO Stein is a dingbat, just like Johnson. The Green Party and lib party really shot themselves in the foot by putting up such poor candidates. They had a chance to actually get in the conversation for once and they blew it!
-
It's not near enough, nobody clicks on those links and they are hardly a call to action or anything like that. I think Twinsdaily should give them more promotion/more resources etc -
VJ has a great (but smallish) community going over there and has some really good articles/threads with tons of info. Unlike most other NFL forums, the overall community IQ is actually pretty damn impressive. Additionally, the Vikings, unlike our Twins, are actually kicking some serious ass these days, so the need for quality content about our Vikings is at somewhat of a high point (especially with all the bandwagoner fans starting to look for space on the Vikings express) Twins Daily obviously has a much larger user base and has been around longer, but I feel you guys are wasting multiple opportunities to promote the excellent coverage/conversation at VikingsJournal, why not some cross promoted blog posts? Or some blog posts by the main guys that tie in the Vikings vs Twins 2016's to help garner interest. I get that you don't want to drive traffic off Twinsdaily, but honestly I don't see that being an issue. Especially now that this disaster of a season is now over. All of the above also applies to WildExtra IMO.

Absolutely brutal.

Seattle's back-up catcher job maybe opening up
DaveW replied to gunnarthor's topic in Other Baseball
I applaud the Mariners for doing the right thing, of course The player in question was absolute dog poop on the ball diamond anyways so it makes it easier. Comparing it to Peterson isn't relevant IMO since I still maintain the Vikes should have cut/traded him after all that garbage. Wilf of course has no morals to speak of anyways though. I'd like to think that several teams would have sent AP packing after that garbage. Like I said, good on the Mariners, comparing African Americans to animals is disgusting and has no place in this day and age (or really any time period) -
Yup, well stated, in this day of Fargo, True Detective etc people tend to forget sometimes that some of these great shows have stories that need to be told over 4-5 seasons. Also season 2 is a perfect season to binge watch IMO, I will likely do that to catch back up before season 3 at some point with the fiancé.
-
Pretty negative? Where were you reading review at? Season 2 was great! AVClub is my goto spot for reviews, they liked the season overall and gave most episodes a B+ or higher IIRC
-
I think the days of big time hitting catchers are going to come to an end sooner than later. Why risk injury to a guy like Harper or Sanchez when you easily plug them into a lineup 7days a week? I'd prefer a high upside college SP personally, this team desperately needs live arms.
-
Yup! Also, be sure to watch every episode after the credits, there is usually a good bit that goes on for 10-30 seconds, some even involves some basic continuity as well.
-
I don't think is a self control problem at all, in fact, I LOVE that Sano is determined to improve and get better. Yeah, he had a bit of a sophomore slump....I guess? But a .800 ops and 24 HR in 103 games (so far) for a 23 year old is down right impressive, the fact that he clearly wants to improve on this is a great sign.
-
Buxton will be a hall of fame type if he can stay healthy, I look forward to his 2017 big time. 25 HR and 5-6 WAR is certainly not out of the question.
-
I guy as well vote for the dingbat "doctor" who is running for the Green Party as well...even though she is an anti vaxxer and all sorts of other insane things. I'm with Brock, give me a shady smart person over a downright delusional idiot any day of the week. The Klobs vs Itstimetotakeit question if you will
-
That wasn't always my feeling with bush, he would have been a a great guy to have a beer or 6 with (before he stopped) Leader of this country? Not so much. Personally, I would never trust an alcoholic(recovering or not) of running this country or a important business either, just way too much weakness and bad decision making, which bush did plenty of in his 8 years.
-
Agreed
-
W had charisma though, and wasn't a total disaster like Trump is though. If Rubio, Kasich or Paul were up for the GOP nod, they likely would be beating Hillary right now, thankfully the GOP imploded and we are left with Mr Orange Troll
-
People are over-reacting when it comes to Clinton, she isn't perfect, and she lacks the charisma of Obama for sure, but people weren't exactly THRILLED with Gore/Kerry etc either at the time. I don't see personally how complaining about both candidates at this point solves anything, Hillary and Trump got the most votes by their party, there was plenty of time for others to beat them. Hillary is so significantly better then Trump it's not even funny. Her health, e-mail scandal, clinton foundation have all been blown completely out of proportion because that is what the media/twitter/political coverage is all about these days. It's going to be the same thing or worse in future elections.
-
Wow. The season finale is gonna get good.
-
And now for the pitch. Sales pitch that is...
DaveW replied to HitInAPinch's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Buying Twins season tickets has to be the worst investment ever. Literally you can buy the tickets cheaper for 99% of the games on stub hub etc. In many cases you will pay 70% or more off "face value" With all the money you save you can easily pay for playoff tix as well. -
Her team "mismanaged" things on a MINOR issue for what, like an hour and a half? It's really just not that big of a deal. Trump will inevitably say something insnae in the next 72 hours which will then change the discussion...yet again.
-
You are missing the bigger (main point) nobody would be out claiming that it should/could disqualify him for being POTUS.
-
The difference is that people JOKE about the Bush incidents, nobody claimed that they were unfit to be POTUS because of it. Nobody is joking about the Hillary one, everyone is using it as the "Hillary is too sick and old to run!!1!" meme. Fun fact: Trump is 2 years older than Hillary, and most certainly lived a more "reckless" lifestyle up to this point.
-
Didn't Bob Dole collapse and fall off a stage? Nobody made that into some huge deal, it was just a funny image.
-
Washington Post should be ashamed of themselves.

The Key to the Twins Offseason is....Brian Dozier?
DaveW replied to Brandon Warne's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Nah it ain't close man. Dozier is a 40 HR guy playing 2B, span was a nice, but just an above average overall CF. Dozier has mvp upside, span never did. Like I have said multiple times in this thread, if you aren't getting a potential top 15-18 pitcher in the majors overall there is no point in talking trade now.
