    that's a fair stance. If they are really bad this year, and don't sign any FAs next year can I be disappointed?
  2. Mike Sixel
    One can be disappointed in an outcome, even if that outcome makes sense. Is that hard to understand? I expected a trade. Didn't happen. Disappointed. I expected 1-2 RPs to be signed. Didn't happen so far. Disappointed. I thought they might sign a flyer SP, not sure how I feel about this not happening frankly. I hoped Molitor would be replaced, didn't expect it at all. Disappointed. Now, just because it may have been a good idea to keep Dozier, given the offers....doesn't mean one can't be disappointed that it didn't happen. I really don't know how to make that more clear.

    the post said FAs won't sign with bad teams.....that was what the post said. We have seen that isn't true, heck, just a few short years ago, the Cubs were bad (and now are WS champs.....), and FAs signed with them that following year. The post wasn't about if the team got better, the post clearly said FAs don't sign with bad teams. Which, given that they do every year, is clearly not true.

    Well, that wasn't the point I was rebutting, was it? He said they didn't do more, I asked if 4 moves were more than 1 or not. and yes, I agree that at this point, there are no FAs that thrill me, all the ones with huge upside are gone already. At this point, I doubt any FA move would help this year or beyond. Could happen, unlikely imo. I did and do endorse the one MLB FA they signed. I do think he'll help the pitching. I personally would have liked a successful trade, and one more FA signing. And no, I can't say who for sure, because anyone I name, someone will say why it isn't realistic.....which argument I'm tired of having.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Where did I claim that? Just curious, so I can improve my posting.

    I'm not sure anyone is asking it to be fixed in one season, what some are asking is, why hasn't that started at all? Now, I think they will deal ESan at the break, unless he struggles, and will get pitching in return. I have my doubts Dozier is ever traded for more than JDL, or at all.....so they either need to draft and develop better, or sign FAs, because they have no other veterans to trade that are likely to return anything. Which is a bummer. Are expectations of some too high, (and I'd argue some too low)? sure. Is that not the nature of fandom, which is a completely irrational thing in the first place? Yes, yes it is. Fans are under no obligation to be patient at all.

    Is 4 moves not more than 1 move? I still don't see anyone ready to give up on the new FO, I see people disappointed (that word, not hateful, not this is the end of the world, disappointed) that more than 1 move wasn't made so far.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Oh, well, the POS systems are definitely PoS.....and if they go there, I agree, they can make money.

    Politics free zone, totally fun thread.....this is your non-moderator reminder!
  10. Mike Sixel
    if I did that, I was wrong. everyone has sources.
  11. Mike Sixel
    That wasn't the point at all, was it?
  12. Mike Sixel
    So far, two GOP Senators have said they will not vote for Devos......hope springs eternal!
  13. Mike Sixel
    Oh, agreed, but you'll never know if you don't give him a shot (on a 75ish loss team)....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Heh, and I was paranoid....damnit. I hate being right on this one.
  15. Mike Sixel
    You asked why I didn't trust the media on this, I answered why I don't trust them. Not asking you to agree or not, just answering why I don't.
  16. Mike Sixel
    As a small business owner, I'd not bet the farm on square, we get approached by competitors every week almost.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Not so sure about my new home state......grad rates are less than ideal, from what I read, though I admit I pay less attention now that my sons are in college.
  18. Mike Sixel
    then why fire Terry, if there are no real issues?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Nope, no one is suggesting making moves just to make moves. Not. One. Person.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Personally? Most leaks are done for PR purposes, so I don't trust any of them all that much. I can't recall, other than the Deadspin leaks of the Astros actual emails, any time we actually knew what was, or was not, offered in trades that did not happen.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not convinced our education system is bad in every state.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I also feel this is not necessarily good. We now know with certainty that there is a huge penalty for 3rd and 4th time thru the order. I'm not sure how often you want good, but not ELITE, pitchers doing that.
  23. Mike Sixel
    much like the beer gose...is go sa, not gos.....yes. I chuckled when a server corrected me the other day...
  24. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, some great places here in Portland for that.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Uh, same thing exists in big companies, trust me.....in terms of programs being cut if they threaten power. And yes, neither party has guts to do it, agreed. And yes, "just" throwing money at a problem isn't enough, agreed.
