    I'm torn on pot. The financial argument for legalizing is compelling but I don't think its as harmless as the left makes it out to be. The stuff is pretty insidious, especially what's being sold these days by guys in their basemen. I can only imagine what a billion dollar pharmaceutical company would produce.

    Or they'll vote against a particular spending bill guaranteed to pass, then mysteriously a bunch of money will get earmarked for their district in conference committee. Hmmmm
  3. Willihammer
    They'll vote against anything guaranteed to pass, just to say they did, but with anything close they will toe the party line every time. Everyone wants committee appointments and their pet bills put on any dockets and to do that you have to make nice with party leadership. And they'll sellout shamelessly for pork. If you want a fun read, google Ron Paul or Rand Paul pork spending. Their districts bring/brought in a lot more than they contributed to the pot.

    A well written lettter. Yes I'm sure that would sting almost as badly as the find Hunter's going to get. Seriously I would love to read a tally of the fines handed down to players, managers, coaches, etc. for behavior involving a Joe West call. I bet it numbers well into the hudreds of thousands. Joe West blows a call and gets lunch. My sympathy for him is zero.

    I saw the replay and heard Torii's comments and I think he's right. Joe Wes screwed him and the team out of a late opportunity. Any other umpire in baseball would have appealed to the 1B umpire. I don't know if its senioritis or an empty belly or what but Joe West should probably just retire already because every other game he officiates turns into a sideshow.

    I hope so! I mainly just hope their decision wasn't driven by Marquis' ERA or fan sentiment, clubhouse politics, favorites, etc. and instead by something concrete like x/y movement, velocity, SwStr%, etc. If the Twins have been tracking ST pitch data then they probably wouldn't need many, if any, more starts to get to a reasonable confidence level. I don't know the exact points but I imagine something like x-movement would stabilize almost after 1 start and SwStr% would quickly follow, and maybe velocity a bit after that. It should not take long although if they are using ERA that will obviously take longer.

    You can't put a set number of starts on it IMO. I think you have to pay attention to the same granular data that I hope the Twins have been paying attention to all spring, to determine what's real and what's a mirage. Velocity, SwStr%, well hit average, etc.

    If true that would be incredibly stupid. He's either a liar or an idiot and he doesn't seem like an idiot IMO.

    Yeah Red Sox in Blue, Twins in red. I was confused all night by that.

    Yeah the competition for superest superfan was settled a long time ago anyways. http://crossfitsweatshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/tumblr_lnb6ekldHW1qe2fnco1_5001.gif

    Hamilton "relapsed" in '05 after failing multiple tests in '03 and '04. MLB went easy on him calling him a first time offender. Then relapsed again in '09, and '12 and now again. In every instance MLB went easy on him. But maybe all that mercy isn't helping?

    Escobear!!!!!!!!
  16. Willihammer
    ...and the Red Sox look like a bunch of Visigoths

    Players moan about the Yankee's hair policy but between the clean cuts and pinstripes they look as professional as any team in sports.

    Pretty sure a chunk of dip drooled out of it when he hit that HR
  19. Willihammer
    Sandoval with no walks in now 53 PAs
  20. Willihammer
    Pelfrey is going to the rotation, so the Twins need a reliever. I think they might have one or two better than Thompson, no? Or at least more interesting.
  21. Willihammer
    Aaron Thompson. LOL you can't make this stuff up

    Link? edit: Nevermind I'm an idiot http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/04/ervin-santana-suspended-80-games-for-ped-use.html

    Back up. Is there corroboration that he even did this? I'm a little dubious because it says his friend lost 45 pounds in 2 weeks.
  24. Willihammer
    Well the unwritten rule is that you are supposed to trot out at minimum, 3 opening day starters right? So this should put to bed any notion that Arcia will be optioned?

    .330/.380/.500 and the AL batting title.
