My issue with Bernie is that he is the 2nd most partisan person in the entire senate, he is even more partisan then Crazy Cruz (who is third most) You need a president who can work with both parties, Bernie can barely even work with his own party.

Worst free agent signing in twins history continues to get worse. Having a mopey overpaid selfish Nolasco in the bullpen isn't going to help matters at all. Best thing that could happen would be he blows his arm out and spends the season on the DL. Having him and his crap attitude on the 25 man roster is a mistake. Id be looking to unload him to any team that would take him, I'd even want the twins to pick up 90% of the contract.

With Greg Bird out for the season he seems like he would be a great depth option for the Yankees. One of A-Rod/Big Tex will certainly miss significant time.

No ****, the first year I leave her off my death pool and she goes and pulls this crap NOW?!?!?!

Puckett was my freaking hero growing up, man, 1991, I was 6 and a half years old, I was about 2 years into my total Twins fandom/obsession. Some of my very first memories are driving up from Nebraska to KC with my family, staying in the Twins hotel (back when you could do that) and watching them play (and meeting a few of the players form time to time) heaven on earth for a 5/6 year old boy growing up loving baseball. in 91, at 6 and a half my Dad got a chance to buy a pair of tickets to game 7 through his brother in law at the time, my Dad spent a good amount of cash on those two tickets, and instead of taking my Mom or a friend, who choose to take me instead (with my Mother's blessing of course). We drove up half way during game 6 to stay at a families friend, I believe it was Sioux Falls. They happened to be Braves fans, I will never forget knowing the Twins just had to/would for sure win the game, after all they needed to win it for me to see them in game 7 live! As we all know, Puck had, what is likely the greatest single game in the history of Minnesota Sports. We celebrated, drove up to Minneapolis the next morning, got to the Dome about 3 hours early and the rest is history. Game 7! Puckett wasn't the hero that game, but it didn't matter. That still goes down as the greatest day of my life up until now. Kirby and the Twins didn't win another world series again (or come close during his era) I finally met him the year he got injured (in that same KC hotel we went to every year....my Dad and Mom met him in an elevator years earlier, but were so star struck to even get out more then a couple words or ask for an autograph) He wasn't playing, I was on the early end of being a teenager, but God Damn if that wasn't one of the coolest moments of my life, meeting my childhood hero/idol. You can't ignore the other side of Kirby that came out after his playing career. I will never forget it, I read the article by Deford online when it came out, it really, really, really hit me hard, my hero suddenly was turned into a sex crazed (looking back this was a stupid angle of his article), adulterer and a Woman beater. This was a tough pill to swallow. I had a tennis tournament that evening and lost 6-0, 6-1 to get bounced in the first round, when I walked off my Dad mentioned that Kirby was on the front page of SI and that I shouldn't read it, of course I already had. It was tough to read it, maybe I was a bit naive at the time (most 17 year olds are I imagine) but that whole thing hit me like a punch to the gut. Now, my thoughts towards Puck are mixed, man, what a joy it was to watch him play, he gave us all a lot of amazing years as Minnesota/Twins fans. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little pissed at Puck for not being the great human/hero we all thought he was, maybe that's unfair as all of us are flawed, but still....some of his accusations etc are pretty unforgivable, especially now as I am older. I'm not sure how to feel about this all as a whole, I think we can separate our love for Puck as the player, and Puck the person (especially post playing days) Either way, in my experience, and especially in my memories with my pops (we are die hard Twins fans to this day) I must admit that my memories re: Puck involved are a ton more good than bad. I just wish he could have ended up close to as good as a person as a ballplayer. Oh well, that isn't the case and we have to deal with that. I guess what we can do from here on out is not try to make his same mistakes. Anyways, I'm sure that's a long rambling mess above, just good to talk about Puck and how awesome he was, and what we can learn from him.

What a win by my boy Brad Keselowski! I have been to 7 of the last 9 races in Vegas, I missed this year and 2014....the only two times my favorite driver has won. Luckily I had a buddy toss on $100 for Brad this year at 8:1 odds. Helluva race overall, very exciting to watch. 1000x better than last weeks snoozefest.

ChiTwinsfan is the Omar of this site. Brock meanwhile is the Ziggy Zobotka of this site. I will take the title of McNulty as I am usually drunk and full of ****. However every once in a while I have a good idea.

Reagan should Have been impeached within his first 6 months. **** that guy

I'm surprised it took this long for Trump to talk about the size of his penis in a debate.

Trump would be impeached within 9 months of entering office. Also, I really don't think he even wants the job. He can just coast along, lose the GE and then appear on TV every other week pissing and moaning about politics.

Hilary would eat Cruz for lunch. The main difference between Cruz and Trump is that Cruz honestly believes in the awful **** coming out of his mouth.

GOP are screwed. If they somehow screw Trump out of the nom using a bunch of shady stuff, there is no reason whatsoever for him to not go scorched earth and run as an independent. If that happened, the GOP might only win a couple states.

Why the **** in 2016 is this game not streamed online or on TV anywhere?

Signing bonuses for draftees don't come out of the major league payroll, you can bet that the Twins are viewing Park as a 6 million a year player, and that is 6 million less they won't spend on other players in the market. It's still not a lot of money, but if he becomes a platoon or bench type its a bad contract.

Nebraska? Not much? Why?

Yeah I really don't understand this line of thinking, every single blue state went against Romney pretty strongly 8 years ago, he's not going to take any real democrat votes period. Romney likely wouldn't win a single state and if by some miracle he did it would have been a "red" state anyways, all it would likely result in is a Hilary win several more states over the GOP (even Texas could go blue at that point)

You certainly won't see him anytime soon in a 5k race. /fat joke

No he couldn't/wouldn't. The only independent that would even get 10%+ of the vote would be Bloomberg, and he won't run if Hilary is.

Yeah Mariott basically knows they are ****ed and are throwing a hail mary (and most likely are bringing up her endorsements and stuff to show that she has a decent amount of money already in hopes that the jury will come back and award a smaller reward) I mean it's disgusting and all, but none of this is shocking.

Yeah I never understood the "oh she was behind the leaks" crowd, it was obviously a ****ty situation/stalker situation. I know a lot of people and the media were like "Oh well, it could have been worse, its not like the guy hurt her or whatever" but I don't think people realized how emotionally ****ed up it would be to go through the situation. ESPN: **** those guys.

They have him, on tape, talking crapaboit David Duke back in the early 2000's. He knows exactly who David Duke is, just like anyone else in this country

Mike the Situation and Snookie were the stars of one of the most popular shows on TV. Not sure what that has to do with anything. Also, make no mistake, his presser/rallys etc are very much scripted. He just isn't smart enough to actually come up with saying anything worthwhile, anytime he is backed in a corner he just resorts to petty name calling and making grandiose claims. The same people who watch reality TV constantly are the same people who eat that **** up.

Doumit had some "value" as a backup catcher, as a DH Doumit is/was a poor option. Park is a DH, he needs to hit like Willingham at minimum to not be a disappointment.

Park isn't a $3 million a year player.
