    10-3

    DaveW replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    Just need to go 8-3 now! 6-6 could even conceivably get it done but, hey lets go get 8 of the next 11. 1 game back!
  2. DaveW
    1 game out. Twins basically control their own destiny IMO

    Perk is fine, I like seeing him fired up. Giving up two runs in the 9th up for isn't an issue at all. I would be much more concerned if he walked the bases loaded or something. He is still one of the three pitchers I trust most in the pen at this point.

    Sale is a lefty and the Twins have mashed LHP all year. Rain in the forecast, maybe they will get 3 innings in, followed by a 2 hour delay which means that Kluber would be pulled.

    Again, the "problems" Majiuana would cause are a fraction of a percent of what Alcohol and Tobacco already cause. In addition the vast amount of tax dollars a state could bring in could actually go back into infrastructure, the schools, drug treament, lowered taxes etc.

    I couldn't disagree more with this statement. Not everyone who smokes, smokes until they basically fall asleep, you seem to have this narrow view of pot and those who smoke.

    You don't get "wasted" on weed. As far as the "kids" question, it once again comes down to good and decent parenting. The problem with a lot of parents when it comes to sex, drugs, alcohol is that htey would rather blame everyone for "shoving it in their kids faces" instead of actually spending an hour of their time to have a good, open and honest talk with their kids. i.e. "Booze is fine in moderation, but you have to be careful as it can be addictive and too much can lead to serious short term issues, if you drink too much don't ever drive and don't be afraid to call one of us for a ride home etc" "Weed won't hurt you long term, but if you do choose to use you should use it in moderation" "Sex is not something you HAVE to wait for marriage for, however it is a very serious topic and you need to be safe etc"

    I think pot has plenty of merits. It helps for people with seizures. It slows down tumor (cancer) growth. Helps with Glaucoma Helps with Migranes Helps with OCD and ADD/ADHD Helps with Stress/Anxiety It can help prevent Alzheimers as well. The side effects are almost non existent, other than making you crave some delicious, delicious pizza.

    For some reason I thought Gibson was already lined up for the WC game? (He has like a 10.00 ERA at Yankee stadium in his career FYI) I'd prefer Duffey start game 163/WC personally. As far as three days rest, I dunno, it might be a bit risky IMO. Don't fix what's not broken in regards to Santana?
  10. DaveW
    Yeah, Kluber has owned the Twins, and Hughes has been terrible. Hopefully we catch some breaks today and can pull out a 5-4 win or something of that nature. Hopefully he throws a mistake pitch to Sano for a 3 run bomb.
  11. DaveW
    Yeah, I think the "pot caused people to drop out of school" theory is lazy personally, they dropped out of school because they were lazy in general. Personally, from what I have seen from peers, co workers, and life in general, booze has caused a lot more people to "lose" themselves in school, professional lives, relationships then pot has ever had (and it's not even close) As far as anxiety or any real side effect? Numerous studies have shown that isn't the case at all when it comes to pot. Lazy people will remain lazy, non lazy people will remain non lazy.

    Ten games I mean! Detroit has nothing to play for as well.
  13. DaveW
    Rubio has zero chance to win the general election. Zero.
  14. DaveW
    I was at that game like 20 rows behind the plate, freaking amazing all around. What is Mauer's on base streak up to? Getting pretty impressive even to the Mauer haters at this point, no?

    10-3

    DaveW replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    Just need to go 9-3 now Hell, 2 games back? 8-4 may be good enough.
  16. DaveW
    Beresford and Bernier really have no place on a major league roster as well. You jettison Nunez and replace him with either: 1.) a bat 2.) a Util INF that has some upside: Polanco or Santana.
  17. DaveW
    This is why I think a Twins sweep would be so freaking important, a Twins sweep would basically more or less end the Indians chances at a playoff berth, which means that playing them next Mon-Wed could be a tad easier then if they were still "in it" Our last 9 games could be against teams with nothing major to play for, they will all be playing hard, but won't be as aggressive to win a game as much as if they were still in a "race"
  18. DaveW
    everyday a Viking doesn't get arrested or injuried is a win!
  19. DaveW
    Stros lose! Twins two games back. Also: rangers down 4-1 so far, if they lose they are still only one game up on the stros (and 3 games up on the twins) Just need the Twins to finish strong and one of those two to choke a little bit.
  20. DaveW
    That is a really great point. Could you imagine someone running on Sharia law? Or someone running as an Hasdic Jew wanting to run on those principles? Obvioulsy those are a bit of apples to oranges comparions, but the damage that a guy like Huckabee would try to do (mostly to women and gays) is fritening and at least a tad bit comparable.
  21. DaveW
    I almost feel bad for Jeb at this point, he seems like such a lifeless, boring goober out there. I see why George W was the "golden child" who got the nomination back in the day, what George lacks in intellegnce vs his brother Jeb, he makes it up 10x in charisma.
  22. DaveW
    Uh, there are plenty of legit reasons for people to question much of what Israel has done and continues to do. They shoulder their fare share of the blame IMO. Back on topic, Carsor is far too smart to "accidently" make a gaffe like that, it is clear he was just trying to appeal to the far right of the republican party (the same ones that still scream: Obama is a MUSLIM!?!?!)
  23. DaveW
    1. Semantics, you know what I am getting at. 2. Uh, yes, yes it would. It would be just as absurd if Huckabee, Hillary, Trump said the same thing about Jews (Bernie Sanders) Are you actually defnding Carson?
  24. DaveW
    Honest question: What are the negative side effects of pot that you speak of? Especially when compared to alcohol, cigs etc?
  25. DaveW
    Util INF isn't a huge issue IMO, any of Santana, Polanco or Nunez would be more or less fine. I don't really trust Nunez at SS though, and Polanco and Satnana both have more upside so I would prefer one of them. FWIW Since July 1st Nunez has a .580 OPS, he will be owed like 2 mil next year as well, IMO it's time to cut bait with him. Spend that money on a backup legit catcher or a bullpen arm type. I am very confident Santana or Polanco could put up bigger numbers then him.
