Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 8/17 @ 6:05pm CT
DaveW replied to Riverbrian's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
or that report by Jeremy which said the Rockies asked for Gibson... So yeah, there was definitely smoke on this theory bud. -

Yet another terrible outing by Gibson. Teams figuring out he doesn't have any good stuff? Destined to be yet another Nick Blackburn type? -

Should have traded Gibson for Tulo when we had the chance. He looks like **** now. -
It would make too much sense which is why it probably won't happen. There is no good reason whatsoever to carry 13 pitchers. I think he would get more than 30 at bats. Put Plouffe in RF once in while for Hunter (Sano to 3rd) or have Vargas spell Mauer at 1B once a week as well. Plus, he should be PH every single game.
-
I'm not sure what else he needs to do at AAA at this point, he should be up ASAP for one of the 13 pitchers the Twins have on the roster.
-
He needs 3,000 hits to get in. Which is stupid, he should be in either way, but the 75-85 year old voters who probably have seen him play like once, still go by these stupid arbitrary numbers.

Should/Will Twins re-sign Torii Hunter?
DaveW replied to John Bonnes's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Agreed, stauffer for instance was a bad one year contract, as was Bartlett and Kubel. I'm not sure hunters is "bad" just closer to "meh" then "good" As far as the topic at hand, the only way I would even think to bring him back is to be a bench bat/platoon guy with Arica. And that's only if Plouffe or someone else is traded in the meantime. IMO he should retire, it would suck to see him struggle for a full season. -
Again, those are all non U.S. companies basically. There is only so much you can do. I didn't realize it was that bad to be honest.

You really need to stop taking things so personally. Especially things I say about a topic in general... But back to the topic at hand: If it's coming up in social media feeds, the person has only have the people/brands etc the person follows to blame. I'm not really for censorship , so it's hard to block "something" just for a segment of the population, there are plenty of good blockers etc in place to limit the porn exposure overall. But if you are going to let a kid or anyone go on google.com with no oversight and no real blocks "safe search is not a real block" then I don't know what to say. It seems to me that if you have a young child at home, set up an Internet browser for them that can only visit specific websites that are more than safe. If for whatever reason they need to get on Google to search something, the parent or adult should be there to monitor. As far as an adult stumbling across something on accident: oh well, things happen. Such is the world and such is life. On a side note: I don't think there is any reason kids under the age of 15-16 should be on any form of social media, literally nothing good can come of it.
-
again we are talking about 7 year olds, aka 1st graders. Why on earth do they need to be surfing the web on their own with zero supervision? None of the parents I know let their kids do that at that age. Why does a 7 year old need to be surfing the web blindly? Plenty of non internet programs they can use on a computer to learn, or I dunno, maybe they can learn from a book or their teachers, parents, etc directly? You could give a sincere answer or just call me stupid and dismiss me again of course. Or you could give some ideas on how the U.S. And company "blocks" these off shore porn companies.
-
just more proof he has no desire to actually run a legit campaign.
-
what on earth are you searching for that porn suddenly pops up out of no where? The only adults I have heard say that are people who get caught looking at porn by their spouse, significant other etc "honey! I was trying to look up financial advice and this site popped up out of nowhere!"
-
90% of this companies are located outside the U.S., and in places like Cyprus where the U.S. Has no jurisdiction etc you aren't going to "fix" them or even have a shot at fixing them to be less "easy to find" It's the reality of the situation Lev, the responsibility has to be on the parents and teachers in this case. Monitor your children's internet activity, it's not difficult. Just block them from every visiting Google.com or any adult site directly, problem solved.

Should/Will Twins re-sign Torii Hunter?
DaveW replied to John Bonnes's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
did he help this year? Is it so crazy to think that a combination of Arcia and a legit platoon partner wouldn't have put up better numbers? While saving the twins 10 million or so where they could have brought in some BP or C help as well? -

Good win. Now let's go kick some Yankees asses -
what failed policies do you speak of? I'd love to hear specific examples instead of tired conservative rhetoric for once.
-
Heading tomorrow (Monday) to the game with some friends. Anyone from TD wanna meet up prior for a brew? Possibly going to the Wednesday game as well.

The broadcast on the Vikings game was actually a simulcast, which means that PA and company were describing the game like it was on the radio (which it was) which is why so many "obvious" things were said if you were watching the game versus listening on the radio. -
then monitor their internet activity or don't even let them use a web search. If they want to "look something up" they can have an adult do it for them.

dungeness is the crab for kings.

Kazmir was cheap at the time because of serious injury concerns and history. I'd bring him in for next year but only on a two year deal
-
Milone has been fine, no doubt and is a nice current asset. But he shouldn't be blocking guys like Berrios in the future. Plus he actually might have trade value which could help in other areas?

And yeah, huge game for the Twins. Hopefully the offense can give Milone a nice little lead early. -

Robinson should not be playing this much. Go bring up Arcia or Buxton or Kepler or someone for Petes sake! Or sign Garett Jones. -
Because you can get in a ton of trouble for hiring illegals. Something like $50,000 fine per head. Not to mention all the other labor laws you would be breaking by not paying minimum wage, payroll taxes etc That's such a bad example IMO. "Well an employer can always get around it by breaking the law"
