    Davanni's? that's going to cost you some XP....
  2. Mike Sixel
    that weight seems more realistic. I wish Mpls thought big like this, we should have a really cool park where a bunch of empty, crappy, building sit in downtown.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Three games. Against a terrible pitching staff. You might be right, but let's not JUMP to conclusions.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Pizza Luce is the single most over rated thing in MN. IMO, of course...

    I understand that......but I guess, well, what do we do? Just let an evil person stay in power, because the next person(s) might be more evil? I generally don't like living in the "don't do anything, because it might get even worse" world....but I admit to having no great answer to this. Hopefully people whose job this is spend more time considering this than I do/can.
  6. Mike Sixel
    that's three straight rational responses on the internet. I'm scared.

    As for locking up STARS..... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-possible-extinction-of-the-early-career-superstar-extension/ Now, as pointed out, some of these players are Boras clients, and we "know" NYY and LAD will be pursuing Harper/Machado.... Also, I don't think Buxton is a STAR, at least not that you can predict right now. He could maybe be had, but I doubt Sano signs an extension any time soon.
  8. Mike Sixel
    It was nice to "see" on gameday. I really like the quote about Sano, I always felt the previous regime was publicly questioning some players, rather than publicly encouraging some players.

    He was walking in socks, in a house he'd never been in, and slipped. He won't be the last person to slip on wooden steps while wearing socks...
  10. Mike Sixel
    that is interesting. I can see the logic, actually. Get him some experience in pro ball, while decreasing the likelihood he hurts himself. I'd just have him pitch, he has the raw stuff to be IT as a pitcher...but I can see the logic.

    My wife owns a 1 person business. Should she not network? Not meet with male clients for dinner? Not do an in home presentation (she sells window treatments) to a male client (or a lesbian woman)? Should she not have dinner with one of her installers, if they are all the way across town, just finished a job, and it is rush hour/dinner time? It's ridiculous.

    I'm with the fictional character from Tom Clancy's books on this....ryan.....when a leader does this stuff, we should kill the leader, not everyone else around him/her.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Are they? Or are they holding out in case their young players develop quickly, and Quintana can be part of their next core? I have no idea, but at least the Sox appear to have a good farm system. KC? not so much. Their present and near term future look bleak.
  14. Mike Sixel
    BTW, he's not unique on the late night thing, and there are others (on the Hill) that won't be in a room 1:1 with a woman staffer. It's kind of sad, really, that: a: the media / others would start bad rumors if we all worked freely with each other (and, certainly rumors and PR are part of this, the internet/news/tabloids are a sad place) b: some people think that women are temptresses (that's talked about in some of the "pro" Pence rule articles) that men need protecting from
  15. Mike Sixel
    But you are correct, i can't find a rule that he can't be 1:1, that must have been something I read on FB or something.... so, no dinners with a woman (but a man is cool) no late night support from women Kind of would make it hard for a woman to have real power compared to men, I'd guess. But maybe Pence just doesn't work late on important things?
  16. Mike Sixel
    His rules also include: The Pence .......also “included requiring that any aide who had to work late to assist him be male."
  17. Mike Sixel
    I could have sworn he said he can't be in a room with another woman, and no one else in the room....did he not? Maybe this was implied, and not said? did he not say he couldn't go to dinner with just one woman (I assume he can with men)? https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/03/pences-gender-segregated-dinners/521286/ this article barely scratches the surface of the issues this creates...
  18. Mike Sixel
    They only have 1-2 good position players.....I'm not sure losing most of these guys matters now. Like I said, should have blown it up during last year and this off season.
  19. Mike Sixel
    We'll just disagree on that. I think Duffy can return 3 top prospects. $15MM will look like chump change in 2-3 years for FAs. I do agree, I'd take the title and the fun, and have to suffer some lows.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Not allowing your female employees to be in the room with you, like your male employees, is not one person's action with no impact on others. Not allowing your female employees to have a drink or dinner with you, like your male employees, is not one person's action with no impact on others. the list goes on and on. This impedes a woman's ability to be as successful as a man's. Without question. Pence cannot, apparently, have a 1:1 meeting with a female employee. You don't see possible issues there?
  21. Mike Sixel
    do you watch golf? these guys are in great shape.
  22. Mike Sixel
    wearing slippery socks on wood stairs......I've done it, We've all done it.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Duffy could return a mint, I think. I'm guessing 3 top 100 prospects, with one in the top 20 range, if available. Signed for cheap, and very good. Other than that, gonna be a long road back. They should have started selling last year, imo.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I really want this to be true, but it's a great story! PotD for me....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Fancy course I've heard of? Good luck, and more importantly, have fun!
