    I wish I would have bet more on the 64 game over/under
  2. DaveW
    I think you roll with Dozier for the time being and give it to Hicks once he puts a real nice week or two together.

    LOL of all the things to try to blame the Twins for this one by COtwin takes the cake! Ballplayers don't "tank" games nor do teams, especially in baseball for a freaking draft pick. It's not like any of these guys this year are Bryce Harper/Strausburg, and if the Twins were so hot for Appel they would have picked him last year.

    I think Mauer sticks at catcher for another 2-3 years at least. Also, besides corner OF 1st base is probably the easiest position to find a stop gap on the free agent/trade market. If he continues to improve his hitting and gets back close to a .775-.800 OPS then Morneau is a perfectly acceptable stop gap at 1st base for the next couple years (at 5 mil a year)
  5. DaveW
    Come on dude, you know you are being ridiculous, Morneau is a free agent after this year and there is a good chance he wont be back unless its at a heavy discount and he continues to improve. They don't hate on Plouffe they are frustrated that such a talent is going to waste, they are upset that he isn't living up to his potential. There is nothing wrong with expecting your former first round pick, and a guy who was on fire last year to give you at least above replacement level production for you in the field.

    Perkins is awesome and one of my favorite Twins, I hope he sticks around long term even if it means overpaying for "Saves" a bit. The guy was in the doghouse and re-established himself as one of the better closers in the league, because he had the right attitude/perseverance he is going to carve out a nice little career and several nice paychecks because of that. Kevin Slowey should have taken note. On being 7-for-7 in save opportunities: “Do I particularly agree with closers in baseball? That’s a tough question that I ask myself. But it’s my job, and when I go out there to do that job, saves are the most important thing to me. If I throw a quality inning, that’s the result I should get.”

    That's why she left him.

    I hope he gets food poisoning and spends the rest of the season on the DL

    He has a pretty decent arm and always have, I think he struggled in NYC a bit because he isn't an East coast guy and the expectations where pretty ridiculous for him. If you can get a guy (even if he is only a #4) to agree to a decent contract for 2 years or so I think you gotta do it. Especially one who isn't over the age of 30. He choose to sign here for less money then he probably could have gotten in the off-season, it only makes sense to try to keep him around if he starts pitching like he did today.

    It's hard to find good "Wild Talk" Rubechat, which is normally a **** hole, actually has a good (but not very fast) message board for the Wild. Also this was the first time in over 1200 days that a Minnesota Pro Sports team (non women) has won a playoff game. That is absolutely insane for a state with a MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL team.
  11. DaveW
    I said if he pitches to his potential, and that is also why I said team friendly. Give me a guy with potential upside like pelfrey over the garbage we usually sign 8 days a week
  12. DaveW
    First off, I don't think Pelf is ever going to get to the point this year where he brings back some legit haul of prospects (think of the Pavano/Liriano packages) Don't get me wrong, I think the kid can turn it around and ultimately be a solid #4 this year, and #3 in the future, but those kind of guys don't bring in very huge hauls. I would rather him get back to normal, put some quality starts together and the Twins give him a team friendly 2 year contract sometime late in the season. The last thing this org needs to be doing is trading ANY starting pitchers who can be effective. Once Gibson/Meyer/May/etc come up and start pressing, then you trade them. Until then, hold onto any starter you can that will be able to help in 2014.
  13. DaveW
    No reason to be scared away from a Boras client, the Teams PR machines make him out to be a monster, when in reality he is just really really really good at what he does and the majority of his clients love him.
  14. DaveW
    I will keep you posted.
  15. DaveW
    I remember when I said the Gomez contract this year was a good move by the Brewers I was considered crazy. Contract of the year so far.
  16. DaveW
    Hey, I have been meaning to check a N.B. game soon, do you have a recommendation on a cheap hotel in the area and a good way to get there (no car) from NYC?
  17. DaveW
    this

    **** Koivu.

    To paraphrase the late great Herb Brooks "If you lose this [series] you'll take it to your grave.......your fuc.king grave" :s-bluecap::s-bluecap:
  20. DaveW
    Name some? I don't have a ton of faith in Escobar as a starter, but as a cheap UI guy he certainly has value (and saves you from spending money on a veteran) Hernandez is pretty meh, but at least he has proven to be a decent mop up man/spot starter, which alone is better than what Liriano gave us the last couple years it seems.

    2013 Playoffs 2014 World Series 2015 World Series 2016 World Series 2017 Playoffs 2018 World Series I want him to ravage me sexually.
  22. DaveW
    Broussard is a hack and they never should have had his ass on the air to begin with, as a Christian (Catholic) myself I find his "speaking of behalf of the religion" to be highly inflammatory and off base as well. He was also going off about how if you have pre martial sex you aren't a Christian....yeah..... what was ESPN thinking by bringing him on?
  23. DaveW
    lol Chief. I expect these threads from me after a few to many pints, but you? Classic:th_alc::th_alc:
  24. DaveW
    saved!
  25. DaveW
    Hicks has been starting to turn a corner over the past 10 games or so... he may end up ok. Arcia certainly needs to goto AAA, I like him but he is obviously more "raw" at this point then Hicks (which isn't a knock on him)
