    I agree, it's gotta be Gee, based on the history of this year.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, it's not easy to have that talent base available.

    Saw the "highlight" in the bar last night......it was entertaining to watch the Reds' faces!

    Are people questioning the job the Astros have done in rebuilding this team? They've certainly made mistakes......but it's hard to argue the results right now.

    Chris Sale is good, great even. Boston probably should have been asked to give up even more for this. This is the kind of guy you make trades for, not mediocre players, imo.

    and I'm the opposite. next year, when they don't punt the bullpen, and buxton doesn't hit -50 the first month, next year they should be legit contenders maybe. Get these guys experience THIS YEAR, so they are ready next year. Otherwise, we get to not see them next year, because "you can't count on rookies", or some other nonsense. As for the 25% rule, that's been shown to not be real, but teams think it is real, so they act that way. I'd put Romero in the bullpen in a month or so. I'd put Gonsalves in AAA (like, a month ago), and then have him in MN in August.

    It's against the rules for a rookie to pitch in relief when the score is close. Duh.
  8. Mike Sixel
    If anything the red Sox paid too little to get Sale.
  9. Mike Sixel
    This was a fun game thread, thanks. Btw, this FO chose this bullpen.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Can you hear the music if you don't have tickets? Also, we don't have a hotel yet, I'm guessing finding one even a little close would be a challenge, making parking impossible.....or not, maybe we'll try. That is the discussion.
  11. Mike Sixel
    is that good or bad?
  12. Mike Sixel
    If we fly over KS from Oregon to Boston, I'm thinking things aren't going well....
  13. Mike Sixel
    great first line!

    Isn't that yo're in 'merica?

    Can we just admit the Vikings have not, at all, stuck to their statement they'll be "better" than other companies when it comes to conduct?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I am flying into Boston on July 4. Still deciding if we will try to stay there that night, or drive toward Upstate NY (where we are headed). guess I should decide soon.....My son is interning out there, we'll visit him on the 9th. this has been your boring update on my life, back to baseball...

    IMO, Kintzler is a good closer. Much better as a closer than as a 7-8th inning guy. He does his job, not sure what more people want. Is he the best ever? no. Is he at least league average? Appears so. I'll take that.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I admit, I'm more like champuckett on this one than some of you. While I don't ignore the world, I watch the news less and less. And, I certainly have tuned out much of politics, though not all of it, over the last decade or so. Probably because I'm a jaded, ex-politician type....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I have major issues with journalism in this century. It has, imo, moved well past being news, and much more into entertainment. The local news has always been more about entertainment, but the national news, imo, has really, really, really lost it's way.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not a Palka believer, personally, so not sure I agree. I also don't think they are just like the old FO, but I am not convinced one way or the other they are better.....or not better.
  23. Mike Sixel
    they agreed to part ways, I believe.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I agree they weren't likely to, but I would always be testing the waters as a GM. I don't think I'd trade Gordon for Rondon, but I think you have consider Freeland. Not necessarily because he'll be better, but because the Twins have depth in MIF, and no nearly enough SP.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Likely, certainly.
