  1. A few polls do...the majority actually don't come to that conclusion at all.
  2. I was looking for new places to try (specifically where I was staying) I have been to MSP prob 30-40 times in my life.
  3. riiiight
  4. I don't see it, it again all seems very segmented.
  5. Bernie isn't a democrat, and him getting 4 years in office would accomplish nothing positive. I would vote for him over Cruz, but that's about the only way I could vote for him.
  6. Yeah, I mean all states have made their mistakes, but Minnesota did elect Jesse the Body Ventura to office as well as Michelle Bachman (multiple times) Listen, I love Minneapolis, but there isn't a whole lot of "melting pot" diversity going on that you see in other areas like Chicago, NYC, LA, SF, etc everything is sort of segmented in Minneapolis when it comes to parts of towns, neighborhoods etc.
  7. He is holding a rally about 12 blocks north of my place today, ugh the whole neighborhood is going to be full of his annoying BernieBros'. I wish I knew about this earlier though, I would made some knock off crappy Bernie trucker hats and sold them to his drones for about $50 a pop. The good news is, he won't get the nom. He trails Hil by 2.4 million votes so far, and the gap is about to get quite a bit wider with NY and CA . Good article: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/bernie-sanders-is-even-further-behind-in-votes-than-he-is-in-delegates/
  8. Ricky Nolasco reacts to critics.
  9. Brian Dozier tries to bunt for a hit. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view7/2739484/mr-burns-bunt-o.gif
  10. Pictured: TR+DSP when reading the Twins "blogs" so far this season. http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/4/41/Baseball.jpg
  11. Buxton calls off Sano on a pop up to RF
  12. Checking in with Arcia http://dumpfm.s3.amazonaws.com/images/20110524/1306295065569-dumpfm-DurkFunk-simpsons3_12.jpg
  13. 2016 TWINS: 3 GAMES 2 HR 6 RBI 2016 ROBINSON CANO: 3 GAMES 4 HR 7RBI
  14. beats me, it just beats talking about Trump vs Cruz vs Sanders vs Hildog for a few moments.
  15. Illinois is a particularly savvy political state, Chicago possible the most in the country? Minneapolis? Nah.
  16. You lost me at Des Moines.
  17. I'd say a little more from column A The Dodgers are gonna win 95+, they are a damn good team, if Maeda is for real and Kazmir stays healthy they won't miss Grienke too much
  18. It helps when you have a rotation of Kershaw, Kazmir and Maeda The twins got shut down by a bunch of #4 type starters.
  19. Yeah this year I either want the twins to make the playoffs, or lose 90 games so they are forced to bring in some new blood (hopefully) we already wasted the primes of Mauer, Santana, Morneau, Liriano, Nathan, etc by not going above and beyond to build a champion, I don't want that to happen with this next crew of talented youngsters. At least Mauer and Escobar look kick ass though, Sano and Buxton will come around, so that is a start. Dozier....yeesh, I hope he turns it around.
  20. you had me til Kahlua which should only be used in a White Russian.
  21. Yeah I'm sorta surprised that they didn't move up Escobar to the 2 spot in this situation if they were "into" mixing up the lineup a bit. Frankly, I really don't like moving down Sano so early, I think he should be our 3 hitter every game until someone like Buxton etc "earns" the 3 spot.
  22. Dozier is/should be a .800 ops guy for us at minimum, therefore when he is "bunting" for a hit, he needs to be successful at that at least 40% of the time to make it worthwhile. .400/.400/.400 Whether it was Molly's call or Doziers call, the 3rd inning of a game is not the time to be having a 30 HR type guy laying down a bunt. (Unless there is some super wacky insane shift on where the odds of getting on base are very high)
  23. I thought the game threads the past two nights were fun/light hearted etc throughout the game (except for the ban of he who shall not be named) after the game it gets a little more...negative/positive depending on outcome, but I mean at least people weren't bickering? Either way, maybe I was the bad luck anyways! I won't be able to catch much of the game (so someone else is going to have to pick up the dog meme slack), but I'm interested to see how Murphy looks/does and I'm excited to see how Santana does as well, if he can keep up his hot spring. Hughes, let's hope he is closer to 2014 form then 2015 form. It's still early in the season, but the Twins need to get a W under their belt, avoiding the sweep heading into the defending world champs house would be big. I have this weird feeling that the bats come alive tonight, like 4 HR alive, one from Sano, one from Dozier, and two from players to be named later.
  24. The guy on 3rd has no effect on that outcome of the game at that point, they most certainly would throw down to 2nd base to try to get the last out. The guy scoring from third in that scenario only effects the pitchers ERA. However, yeah I agree PR Santana for Dozier essentially seemed like a wash.
