  1. to be clear, you know that after 2 months? Because he was good in AAA. I agree, he's a backup. But no way he's the 6th best OF on most MLB teams, imo.
  2. couldn't disagree more. Takes good ABs, plays OK to good D, runs well.
  3. Berrios threw the hardest Twins' pitch at 97. The Yankees threw 60 pitches harder than that...... Maybe we can stop assessing the pitching, and do something about it other than hope.
  4. way over paid? Have you seen MLB salaries?
  5. you left out "not being a christian nation anymore". Just saw that one on FB.
  6. He was league median. Would you rather see JRM?
  7. Is it like the end of a college game, where everyone plays at the end?
  8. No need. Just enjoy your life. That's all I want for anyone. As a gift, go to a music show and have fun.
  9. Maybe this off season they won't need to spend another year assessing if they need to fix the pitching, which apparently wasnt obvious last off season....
  10. I'd go with play with your kids and have the game on in the background, but that's too serious for a game thread, so, um, I got nothing more creative than what you've seen....
  11. I'm scared Hicks is going to be the hero....
  12. I can walk to about 7 breweries and about 30 bars.....probably over 100 places to eat within a mile.....and the grocery store....and a liquor store and several beer stores. It takes less than 15 minutes to get to any music show I want to see. And probably another 20 breweries. For us, it's all about all the stuff we can do w/o driving. It makes it much more likely we'll do those things if they are close.
  13. that would be a disaster, given MLB inflation. and, I'm sure you can bet on that in overseas markets. and you are probably right.
  14. Leinie's Okto is not bad, but I think I like your choice better, but that's just a hunch since I've never tried it. Someday I'll get to TX again...
  15. Harper will give up trying to have fun, long hair, and a beard? I have my doubts. and agreed on the Twins, but that's what Sano will cost if he's healthy and Sano......and if Buxton is a 5+ WAR player, he'll be close to that also......salaries only go up.
  16. yup, we've gone back and forth on that first point about 100x! As for the yard work, the yards here are tiny, and we'll have almost no grass. Missing the sanctuary of a back yard seems to be a big deal to us. Also, the ability to have windows open on all sides of a house, and to keep fresh air flowing is a big deal for us, apparently.
  17. No condo. We like the more classic look. Which surprises me, I thought we wanted condo until we lived in apartments again..... Fixer upper is probably more affordable. Prices here are outrageous in the 'hoods we are looking at.
  18. I'll be house hunting, probably, the first few innings. Let's hope the Twins have better luck than me, as one of hte places we were going to look at went off the market this am....
  19. Agree on Phillies and White Sox being players on one of them. LAD, Red Sox, Cubs, TX, NYY, Anaheim if they can come to an agreement to spread out Pujols' money for many years? I must be missing someone....
  20. That's what Sano is going to cost if he is a healthy 3B. And Trout and Harper will be more. I don't think one team gets two of those. Oh, and Machado.
  21. don't try? You'll spend more time distracted by that! IME.
  22. Well, no place did I say that the FO were filled with ignorant people. No place. Not one time. They could believe the sacrifice in the 2nd inning is a good idea, be wrong, and not be ignorant people. So, I have no idea what you are saying there. The other 27 teams are wrong? Is that your contention? And, don't the Twins do it to an even more extreme amount? Maybe they do it too much, even if it should be done more by other teams?
  23. Kepler or Rosario, Any SP they want from the majors or minors not named Berrios, Twins protect 1 SP then Miami picks another one, Gordon. I'd do that, so it's probably not enough..... I hope he isn't in NY, really hope that.
  24. Baseball can't fix the whole culture, though. That's asking a lot...... they can fix their role, but not all of what goes on there. And yes, their role is largely bleeped up....
