    This is a great incentive to be a season ticket holder if you think the team will be decent, clearly despite the fact I predict they will win the world series I either don't think they will be decent, or only care about attending games in April and on rainy days. With stubhub the scalper market will include out of market ticket buyers if the team leaves room for significant profit like the Twins did in 2010.

    It would make much more sense to give every American working over 1000 hours at minimum wage a check for $5,000, of course if that was the case everyone working for $6 (Edit $9 an hour I was thinking of the wage when I was 16) an hour would ask for a pay decrease. Every Government action like this has an unwanted reaction. Inflation solves all meaningful problems and welfare should solve the rest.

    If Gibson Mauer and the CF sport produce more then expected we should be competitive and at this point of the year I can't worry about anything else. 80-89 possible World Series champions.

    Process starts at the caucuses. Any group of 10% control the process based on current turnout levels. if you want Jon Huntsman to win the nomination make it happen.

    It's OK to say as a liberal you won't be voting Republican. Fact is about 44% of Women voted for Romney. The War on Women was a great marketing campaign despite having no substance. Of course if Republicans were able to get over 50% of women they would win, but softing the stance on abortion will only lose them women, women that you might disagree with but still women.

    What did Huntsman have that Romney didn't? Romney's biggest problem was that he was the Republican candidate and thus the #1 enemy of the Democrats. It was a 3% loss, and demographics wouldn't have allowed anything more then a 5% Republican win if everything went perfect.

    If the discussion is about winning elections, then this is the sort of thing that needs to be discussed democrat republican or otherwise. the problem is either it was said when the wrong people were in the room. If that was known then Parrish is an idiot, if this was a stealth leak like the Romney 47% video then the nature of politics requires some gooning it up. politics is a really rough sport. If you aren't aware of the rules don't play. By the way most of the outrage on this sort of stuff comes from people who know the rules, in other .words the outrage is fake. 100% turnout will result in Democrat victories, 70% turnout will give us close races which we've been seeing for about the last 15 years, and 50% will result in Republican victories. If you don't like the idea of low turnout or republican victories do what you have to do to make that happen. If fake outrage helps in that effort cool, otherwise it's fake outrage and really kind of pathetic.

    Wait this isn't an argument for a playoff is it? The #1 and #2 teams played, Notre Dame played a good schedule, got a problem with it either finish #2 and do what Alabama did or play them in the regular season. Nobody ever says when the Yankees get eliminated in the first round that they didn't belong in the playoffs, for that matter nobody really says that for the Twins.

    They have a great chance to make it to Super Bowl as a 14 point underdog, but one pick 6 and it's over.

    Best thing about this signing we didn't give someone 2 years 16 million because his ERA was 2 tenths of a point better. Guy compares to Carl Pavano, wouldn't want to see him start a playoff game, but thats not going to be a problem.

    I can't think of a single person who is a sure thing or even a 50% shot at this point. Could be a shutout for me this year if I don't get lucky.
