    For me, when it comes to the Wild, it's win a playoff round then get back to me.
  2. Mr. Brooks
    I probably agree, but keep in mind that Jose Berrios was the pick we would have lost had we signed a QO player that year.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    I could be wrong, but I don't think Gordon has much chance of being a SS in MLB. If he makes it, it'll be at second base.
  4. Mr. Brooks
    I guess my question would be the following. If it's not reasonable to expect this cut to have healed in the 6 weeks since it occurred, then why should we expect it will heal now? And if the answer is that they are doing something different this time that is more likely to work, then why didn't they do this originally? It seems like for whatever reason, they were a little lackadaisical about the injury the first time around. Perhaps they underestimated the severity of it. Which would be a shame for all involved.

    Why can't a person dress like a character for Halloween without using blackface? Isn't the costume alone enough to portray the intended character? Intent matters, yes, it always does. But lack of intent does not excuse all behavior. If it did, we wouldn't punish people who behave recklessly and kill someone. We don't judge them as harshly as someone who plans and intends to kill, but we still assign responsibility for their behavior. Using blackface without ill intent is reckless behavior.

    And that's not even the most offensive part of the history. Aside from being used to keep black people out of the industry, as you mention, it was also used by traveling comedy troupes who would paint their faces black and "amuse" the crowd by mocking black stereotypes like stupidity and laziness.
  7. Mr. Brooks
    I always suspected you guys were winging it.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    I'd counter that anyone who agrees with Megan Kelly on blackface likely doesn't understand the history of blackface, and what it represents.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    Sorry, I loved watching Liriano dominate that year, but one pitcher is not the difference between getting swept by a bad team in the first round, and winning the WS. Perhaps if they'd lost that opening round in 5 games you'd have an argument. This statement should breeze through Common's preposterous statement tournament.

    Police radar guns can be miscalibrated though. You can demand records of calibration for a speeding ticket, and if they haven't been properly calibrated and/or recorded, you can get the ticket dismissed. Some cops will even provide the reports on the scene, if you ask.
  11. Mr. Brooks
    There only needs to be a market if the Twins are desperate to move him, which they aren't right now. Perhaps if they fall out of the race, and/or Garver or Astudillo cements themselves, but right now they'd need to be blown away to move him.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    Sure, but they can find guys like that without giving up real assets, so long as they don't care about their offensive game. Some people here may be down on Castro, but he'd definitely cost legit prospects to acquire right now, especially within the division.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    Austin doesn't have options. If he doesn't make the club he'll be on another MLB roster. I think it's 99.9% that he'd be claimed.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    I may be lower on Granite than some, but my opinion of him has never wavered from an absolute ceiling of AAAA player. So, it's absolutely worth more than Granite, IMO.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Epipens are far from a guarantee. My daughter's friend accidentally ate a bite of a cookie that had peanut butter in it at a sleepover (it was in similar packaging to the safe cookies). She immediately took two doses of Epi, but still, sadly she was dead before paramedics even arrived. I can only try to imagine the level of terror and paranoia and stress that would come with having a child with such a severe peanut allergy. Any public or private place that chooses to ban peanuts is just fine with me. I love peanuts and peanut butter, but it doesn't harm me at all to go without it until I get home.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    Hardest of hard passes at those prices.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    I'm not sure why they'd trade for IFA space if there were no available players to sign. They may not be high demand players, but you get enough of these 50k to 100k guys and one might become something.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    That's quite a liberal use of the term prospect. The Twins did extraordinarily well to get any value whatsoever out of Granite, considering his draft status and limited tool set.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    That's amazing to me that they netted 750k in international bonus pool space for Zach Granite. Wow. Well done FO.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    Does KC really consider themselves a contender?
  21. Mr. Brooks
    I assume this means you are against handicap accessibility?Replace allergies with wheelchairs in your post and it becomes very cringe worthy. Also comparing allergies that give people a tummy ache, to one that causes children's throats to immediately close is an exceptional reach.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    Castro has a career OPS .14 points higher with runners in scoring position than he does with the bases empty.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    Parker had a lucky season. His FIP was 4.40, which is awful for a reliever. This is why LA let him walk when they had him under team control.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    This is his job, not a passion project.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    HIPPA protects certain doctor/patient details, but the above isn't true. Teams in every single sport release information regarding on field sustained injuries. In fact, in some leagues, notably the NFL, it's literally required.
