    Did you see that crazy movie where they were going around the world in a train after we tried to cool the earth, and it worked too well.......what if we all jumped together, and all it did was tilt the axis?

    Mauer has been awesome this second half. It would be great if he could keep it going. Congrats to him!

    Latest news on the fires out here.....they might need to drop fire retardant in the area that supplies Portland's drinking water. good thing I have three cases of wine...

    I think it was more in between deep dish and regular crust, but it was tasty! I even ate meat....
  5. Mike Sixel
    agreed.

    because I know it is controversial to call it pizza, I'm eating a deep dish pizza for lunch. From a food truck. And yes, deep dish is pizza.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I hope you are right! I certainly would expect it to be higher going forward....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Big fan!

    Rosario has been a professional OF for 7 years now? Maybe 6? How long before he matures as a fielder? I agree, it's certainly possible, but he's 25 and has been doing this since HS. I have no idea, but is it easier to mature as a fielder or hitter? I'd think fielder, and that would come sooner, but I literally have no idea. I hope you are right, because he could be quite good if he could mature as a fielder.

    thanks!
  11. Mike Sixel
    I agree with this.

    It really depends on what the rest of my system looked like, and where I was in my rebuild. I threw it out as what I'd be willing to trade Eddie for. It's funny, but basically whenever people post about making trades, people point out how it just can't be done. yet, 4 AL teams managed to make trades just a few days ago to supposedly improve themselves. And, others made trades at the deadline. And, others made trades in the off season. I prefer to think about how things might get done, rather than think about how things can't get done.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. So, if we think that's what he'd get, would you sign him for 4-5 more years?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Except people are saying to extend Mauer also....
  15. Mike Sixel
    You'd pay Dozier around 15MM a year or more? That is going to eat a lot of RP or SP money....
  16. Mike Sixel
    He's not signed. He'll be a FA. Personally, it seems unlikely a 45 yo can keep this up, so I'm not sure I'd bet on him. But, it is a fair question. It's not ageism at all, it's reality and the fact he's not signed here.
  17. Mike Sixel
    So very true!
  18. Mike Sixel
    That is the trick for sure, finding the right pitcher(s). I would bet good money he's on the roster next year, lots of good money.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Twins tried to give up an out in a game where no pitchers were succeeding, but TB would have none of it! It's nice to win. Much nicer than not winning.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That would be a great spot, if you could figure out traffic.
  21. Mike Sixel
    also, this. there is zero room for a stadium other than the western suburbs, and no one in the city likes to go there. PDX, can you imagine trying to drive on 26 after a baseball game? Ouch.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Having moved to Portland, I don't think there are enough large companies to buy enough season tickets to make enough money. North Carolina should have a team....
  23. Mike Sixel
    So, they tried to sacrifice bunt again, but TB messed up. That's nice of TB, not a fan of the bunt there, given how the bullpen and TB hitters are doing...
  24. Mike Sixel
    There are good ways to share the truth, and not good ways. Souhan, to me, seems to often take a lower road than I would like. He has some great work, he has some work I don't like. Also, the org seems to hide behind these inside stories, rather than just say, in an interview, "we've been working with Sano on his weight, but we're concerned about it," said person X....where PERSON X IS PUBLICLY NAMED...... so, no, it's not about "we can't handle the truth", it's we can't handle feeling manipulated by anonymous sources and their media partners.

    see, now I get it. I'm slow apparently.
