    I tell people all the time, and only half jokingly: As long as every one of us dies quickly, painlessly, together, and at the same time, where's the problem?

    That's fine, I'm still holding back Just trying to throw some cold water on the "Ohtani or bust!" interpretation of his comments, for my own sanity if nothing else.

    In fairness to Levine, this is not quite right. Listening to the interview linked on the other thread, what I took away from Levine's comments was that the priority for the Twins right now was putting together the best possible sales pitch for these guys, not necessarily confident they will sign them--though that would be icing in the cake. At least that's how I interpreted it. Thoughts?

    Democratic Party, laying low.. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5a18212ce4b0cee6c04f404f?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009 laying very, very, very low. Nothing wrong with this.

    WAR is an imperfect stat, doesn't account for actual wins, baseball is mysterious and nobody knows anything anyway;... therefore, quit criticizing WAR. That's how I read it on first quick read (with an adult bev in front of me). What did I miss?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't remember it being as tidy as him wanting to retire, but I can respect that. I don't follow it that close. Seemed like he wanted more control of the program too.

    1. Define "win" 2. Does this mean the Yankees were the ultimate winners? /snark
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Still haven't read it. Glad there were no spoilers here but that's quite a tease.

    Maybe the whole dorm scandal goes down differently with Kill still leading the program, or maybe it doesn't happen at all. Sure having epilepsy is unusual for a football coach, but I'm just wondering if his "health" was a face-saving move of some kind to get him out of the program. I have no clue but in hindsight it looks like if they really wanted to keep him they could have. Because he is coaching again. Edit: snarky comment about Gophers athletics removed
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, that's what we thought, but he is back on the sideline with Rutgers this year?
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What was wrong with Kill, again?
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Forgot he honored the U of M last year! They are a favorite well-deserved target, but Coyle might have to wait til 2018
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't think you can use the Twins this year. Someone from the Wild (or, the Wild) is a distinct possibility. Other honorees could be: Mark Coyle, Sam Bradford, LaVar Ball,... Donald Trump, for sticking his nose into the anthem issue. Or Donald Trump, just because.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes, that is how it is supposed to work. I also read it as they felt Buxton needs to work it out against lesser competition; not sure he is good enough to work throufh it against major leaguers during a pennant race. To be clear, we're not exactly sure who in the FO wanted Buxton demoted, or how committed they were to that plan. But someone did. Not too big deal considering how bad Buxton was at times, I only mention it because other posters are disputing the opinion I share that the FO guys underestimated the team this year.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There was the story that the front office was considering demoting Buxton this summer, but Rowson talked them out of it. That was an underestimation IMO.

    Someone else came out to say Franken was groping her during a photo at the fair in 2010. No reason to believe it's not true. Really disappointed in the guy. It's true that men of a certain age grew up not realizing there was anything wrong with this sort of behavior. In a conflicted way, I can accept that. (Criticize away--I would like to hear other points of view.) But by 2010, as a sitting Senator, you should have it figured out that you don't just grab a stranger's butt when the opportunity arises, even if it's crowded or you are both joking around or it's a nice sunny day or whatever.

    Falvey's objective is to build a sustainable, championship-caliber team season after season. People seem to be under the impression that World Series appearances are a given--False. Don't count on the Yankees, Red Sox, Indians and other teams folding up when they see what a great process the Twins are following. Even during these future glory years, the Twins will many times find themselves playing for a wild card berth anyway.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Here's a good opinion in the Washington Post from a woman and feminist on why Franken should not resign. I am now on the fence about whether Franken should resign or not. A lot depends on if my side can keep that seat in the hands of someone good and qualified. NewsCut has a good summary here of what a Franken resignation would mean (in short, it means a special election next November). Franken is not indispensable, but I might take my chances with Franken for 3 more years than over a weak appointee and an open election next year.

    And as long as I stay away from the poker tables, I will have money to lose to him when that day comes.

    Let me fumble through this Texas Holdem poker analogy... After the All Star break, every team got to peek at the flop (difficulty of schedule). The Twins were scheduled to play Houston, the Yankees, and the Dodgers, also Detroit and Oakland. Those are tough cards to play. But even before peeking at the flop and playing the flop, every team also got a very quick peek at the turn and river and burn cards, too. That is the "difficulty of schedule after the All Star Break trade deadline" cards. Those last two cards looked much more playable for the Twins, and didn't match the hands as well for the other teams. While the Twins were getting swept against the Dodgers in late July, the Royals were winning 9 straight games against the Tigers and the White Sox. You might say that the Royals win streak bluffed the Twins front office out of the card game. I certainly feel that way.

    Another Supreme Court justice knocks it out of the park https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5a0f7f87e4b0dd63b1aa6ee4 Thinking about it more, I'm kind of disturbed by this one in ways I can't put to words.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Statement from staff who have worked for Franken: Many of us spent years working for Senator Franken in Minnesota and Washington. In our time working for the Senator, he treated us with the utmost respect. He valued our work and our opinions and was a champion for women both in the legislation he supported and in promoting women to leadership roles in our offices. Call me an ogre, but I hope he doesn't miss a beat and keeps doing the job I voted him to do. Hard to picture him running again in 2020 obviously, though that is an eternity from now in political terms.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    eh, you are probably right. Which is depressing.

    Wikileaks could have been good. Somehow it turned into an anti-Clinton thing, unfortunately.
