    I admit that post was made in frustration.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    right. Agreed.

    IIRC, Diaz was ranked 10th by BA (or maybe Minier), and I unfairly or not criticized them for not aiming higher, when they had more money than other teams. That was my probably stupid criticism (or not, who knows).

    good thing you weren't here for my first winter then...... and, the city is (I am told) different than it was, but we just moved into the city, and it is millenial heavy

    It was a great article, but I doubt he EVER sat behind a pillar....the comments are very good, even mine....

    Tenth Avenue Freeze Out: could be titled: If you've never heard Springsteen, this is Springsteen. And yet, I almost like this one. I think it's the nearly, but not quite, bluesy aspect. Streets of Philadelphia: You don't hear an opening like this for most of his songs....nice. Trying hard to be a poet on this one, and it works, I think. apparently I like the simple songs. Ok, gotta work again.....

    I just moved to Portland 11 months ago. It's a great place to live if you like doing stuff outside, and a great food scene.

    Hungry Heart: the pablum Springsteen, seems like it should be good, but it's empty. Thunder Road: Always liked the lyrics on this one. I even like how the singing starts on this version. I'm guessing the yelling starts soon...... Solid song. Not great, but solid.
  9. Mike Sixel
    wow. Nice.

    Dancing in the Dark: this song always bored me. Pretty soon, all of this album will be done, and we'll move on..... Looks like Secret Garden and Rosalita are next.... Secret Garden: Did I know this song? Feels like I should. I like this one. I might have to save this one. Rosalita: Strong opening, but too much like some of his songs. A bit of the yelling style, but not like his later music. There is still some singing here. But, you know right away it is a SPRINGSTEEN SONG, which doesn't help me love it. Biases and all... It's too LONG! seven minutes? Only a classical movement should be this long. Will it ever end? What's with this organ thing in the middle as the bridge? Or is it a guitar only on the high strings? For some reason I can't get XRAY lyrics for this one, but I do like the lyrics. Ah, now we are in full on YELLING STYLE in the 2nd half. A good song, ruined by being too long and too much yelling. Not sure I can make it 90 seconds more, but for you, I will.....

    Song 2: I'm on Fire. I should like this. It has everything I usually like in a song. Maybe I've heard it too much, but "meh" is my review. Glory days: So, apparently PRIME is playing THE HITS for me.....this song has always seemed like a rip off of songs from the 70s to me. Born in the USA: As I said, I love that this song sounds right wing, but is really left wing. I think what I don't like is that this personifies his "yelling" style of singing. Having now listened to 4 songs, I think that's it.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Using PRIME music, it's all Bruce. First song: Born to Run. It's good a good hook, and good guitar lines. I actually kind of like this one up to the bridge, then I lose interest for some reason. Expect too many reports, maybe even song by song.

    In fairness, many of those years the top 10 players were not signed for over pool amounts. the Twins just didn't sign the top ranked players. Pretty sure I expressed disappointment over that at least 2 of the years, either here or SethStohs.net (com?).
  14. Mike Sixel
    In honor of this, once Father John Misty is done playing, I'll switch to streaming the Boss and see how I feel about it.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Is that like being sure DanSan won't play much, or the bullpen will be turned over quickly?
  16. Mike Sixel
    true fiscal conservatives!
  17. Mike Sixel
    hmmmm, that buzz is probably insects.
  18. Mike Sixel
    How much was everyone's check for marching?

    Somehow I missed that season three of Mozart in the Jungle was out. We binged it the last couple days. No high brow stuff, not the funniest, but somehow we are entertained by it. Good popcorn show, and very short episodes to boot. And, some great music (just try not to get too hung up on the acting as players or conductors).
  20. Mike Sixel
    yes, but the pool is lower, so they probably can't do as well as they could have before, IIRC.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Fair, and was really what I was referencing. Like born in the USA.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    If you are right on DanSan, I'll buy you a beer if we are ever in the same city! Hell, I'll buy the FO a beer.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Uh, isn't that line the definition of sharing politics?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Right, we have no idea the intent. But, it seems odd a supreme athlete would somehow spike someone in the knee by accident.... And no, I don't like trying to injure someone at all, either the slide or the pitch. You are messing with their LIFE, not their career.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Well, imo, if Berrios is in AAA, someone can be promoted. I agree, those guys do not deserve demotions. As for not needing RPs in the minors? I don't know, there seem to be none available to come up and fix the bullpen in MN, so I don't know if they are over supplied or not.
