    I'm intrigued by some of the older options. Colon, Dickyey. Hill is probably out of range. Greg Holland after a straight TJS could be alright.

    I'd love to see the Twins settle into an everyday DH.

    As an example, the last legislature, the 89th, worked the following days: https://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/timecapsule/session And this was the committee schedule in the Senate. The House would be similar: http://www.senate.leg.state.mn.us/committees/cmte_meeting_schedule.php?ls= Just from an attendance perspective, you have committee, party, and legislative obligations. Meetings with constituents, lobbyists, interest groups, other politicians, answering and sending out mail, preparing committee materials, laying out agendas, writing bills, etc. They are long days. I would set the pay at whatever a good lawyer makes for half a year's work. Maybe $100k. If they pared down to a unicameral body like Jesse wanted then we could make it cost neutral or close to it.

    For sure. The point I had in mind was this idea that if Trump is elected, moving to West Europe would somehow be an escape from white nationalism. I suspect you'd be sorely disappointed. The differences between Europe and the US are smaller than either place would like to believe IMO.

    I really think we do pretty good. We have problems, but we have too many good people in this country. I'll never leave, never even consider it.

    We have plenty of lefties in this country, and Europe has plenty of its own problems. Hell Switzerland didn't give women the right to vote until the 70s. Europe gets 2 million mideast immigrants and throws a fit. Brexit was passed by majority vote. Quitaly and Grexit are on the table in Italy and Greece. We got 40 million illegals in the 00s and our reactions was, far from perfect, but not any worse I'd say. The argument that our politics are any worse than theirs would be a lot more compelling if Europe were doing demonstrably better. They aren't.

    Ah crap. I can't do ithis. G'night everybody.

    Rondon has some nasty stuff.

    Maddon thinks himself in circles sometimes. Francona just chomps some seeds and lets his players play.

    I think its the thick rimmed glasses. Honestly.

    I'm listening on radio. Did I hear that right? Baez attempted a 3-2 bunt after being verbally instructed by his 3rd base coach before the pitch?
  12. Willihammer
    W.T.F.

    You went to Cleveland for your honeymoon, and watched baseball? Does your wife have any single sisters?

    FTFY

    Tie ballgame!

    Sometimes I wonder if the Yankees would be interested in undo-ing the Murphy for Hicks trade. Or the Twins for that matter.

    This is what $31k gets you for a R choice in my house district. http://www.rileyhoran.org/ 21 / M / loves JJ Abrams movies etc.

    And if the Indians left Santana out there for a substantial amount of time it would eventually cost them badly too.

    Sano was taken out of the outfield as quickly as he was put in it becasue of the butchery he made of the position (and a few near miss collisions) and Kyle Schwarber broke his damn knee out there because he didn't call the ball. Outfielding 101. Its safe to say the Internet nerds got those two calls right and the pros got em wrong.
  20. Willihammer
    It was a joke. "Scorekeepers are harder on players today" is not something you ever hear. At least I never have.
  21. Willihammer
    Yeah I'm hoping for raises- the bigger the batter. Because I want the best people in those jobs.
  22. Willihammer
    They were worse but scorekeepers were more lax in those days, didn't usually go as an error.
  23. Willihammer
    I'll be voting a hard "yes."

    So there's an amendment to the state constitution on this year's ballot. Read about it here: https://www.minnpost.com/politics-policy/2016/09/theres-amendment-state-constitution-ballot-year-heres-what-you-need-know-abo The exact language is

    Dave Winfield got a full scholarship to the U of MN - for basketball. Sano is not more athletic than Dave Winfield.
