  1. Would make one hell of a lawsuit for my family surviving me.
  2. Today I learned a new chevy silvardo will save me from a bear.
  3. No use sipping beer at 8 am, its 5 oclock somewhere eventually.
  4. Needs some more stanizol on that fastball.
  5. Im all for TR being done but I don't think inaction at the deadline is too big a mark against him. Even if they had/ do sneak into the playoffs they were going to be a quick exit the talent level of this team just isn't there yet. You can't trade for a SS/ C/ Starter/ and half a bullpen.
  6. So your saying he Kyle Lohse'd it Nick Punto style?
  7. Whats the latest update on Buxton haven't heard anything about him in awhile.
  8. A shortstop, because we need 8 relievers, since we just traded for a competent one.
  9. Eat the whole contract and May/ Polanco/ Rosario is probably about as high as I would go (and that wouldn't get it done). They don't have enough young high end pitching to be trading it yet. .
  10. Dozier might like him but Mauer would hate him.
  11. Idk bout that havent tried yet.
  12. I cannot handle Buxton's hair lol.
  13. It also doesn't help that he has such a flat swing. The pull power guys generally have some uppercut to their swing to put backspin and loft on the ball, Mauer has made his career (hell look at the quickswing) on staying very level and shooting lasers with solid contact instead of moon shots. I say bat him lead off or 2nd and hope the decreased plate vision and discipline are a result of trying to be more aggressive.
  14. Wow that is a major difference, nice article. I have no evidence to support it but I think when hes got no one on he is trying to pull the ball (and failing because he has zero loft or backspin when he pulls the ball) and then he goes back to his old Mauer ways when there are guys on. The walks are seem indicative of pitchers coming after him a lot more, yet he isn't able to translate seeing more strikes into driving more strikes. Is it because he is over pursuing them in an attempt to pull the ball to fit the stereotypical 1B profile? If anything his current line shows the success of Dozier/ Hunter getting on in front of him and that he can drive in runs without traditional power numbers, however they are also inflated from having 6 rbis in 2 abs. I want the old Mauer back, slash liners to the opposite field and back up the middle, stay patient, and play to your strengths instead of pursuing your weaknesses.
  15. Total eye test analysis but it seems to me he is really hunting to pull the ball when there is no one on, and shortening up when he has a chance to drive someone in.
  16. They are a tough franchise to continue to follow lol, incompetence at almost every possible turn. Someday (aka when Glen Taylor sells the team and Flip isn't coaching) its going to be glorious when they are good however.
  17. I think its 3 deep, Towns is the ultimate prize (and by far the best fit) but Russell and Okafor can both be studs.
  18. Probably the Knicks or Lakers because basketball reasons. Wolves are right at home with the 4th pick.
  19. Things are going well tonight, maybe the Wolves can even get the first pick they worked so hard to earn for once.
  20. Poof goes Frankie, oh the memories.
