    We live close to a Max station, but man, that would take A LONG time to get to SE.....I was supposed to have a new AWD SUV this week, but for some reason I don't. We plan to snow shoe and hike in the mountains (and ski), so AWD seems like it might be a good idea.....but again, the bigger issue, imo, is that people have rear wheel drive, older tires, bad cars for winter, and don't know how to drive (and the hills and ice).

    Today is a national bill of rights day. Might need to remind ourselves to fight for freedom of the press and religion the next few years.....

    Stanford just cut the band, for exactly these disciplinary reasons. They still teach music, though.....because it is an education system.

    On a humorous note.... We got an email from the apartment management, reminding us to keep the heat on, and to let the faucets drip so pipes didn't freeze, because, um, uh, the temps would be in teh 20s. Above zero. Wut? Is there no insulation in these units? Do pipes magically freeze 30-40 degrees warmer in OR than in MN?

    Protect him from what?

    So last year's AAA dominance didn't mean anything, but a couple spring training starts will? I don't agree with that as how to make decisions. Last year's minor league dominance meant nothing, but this year it would? Frank Viola was awful at first. He learned by actually being in the majors and facing MLB hitters.

    When will they show us something, if they are in AAA? What would you need to see from Berrios in AAA at this point, to let him pitch in the majors?

    Which of these high valued prospects were ushered in in the last five years, exactly? On this roster? Buxton and May? Chargois? I'm confused by that statement. Greatly. As for DanSAn, I don't get it. He doesn't steal well, he is really quite bad in teh field, and he can't hit. Other than that, um, I don't get it.

    Berrios in AAA? Ugh. No thanks. Get the young guys up here and learning in the majors. If Neil Allen isn't the best pitching coach, um, uh, wut? So, last year's team, w/o their only SP prospect up here? Exciting times! 94 losses, here we come! People really think Hughes will be healthy enough to start? IF he is healthy, move him to the bullpen and put Berrios in the rotation. Throw us a bone for the future having some hope. please.

    Also from what I read a lot of the road problems were caused by a few trucks or cars basically blocking highways and other major arteries......a few bad apples, as it were.

    I truly do not understand the obsession with veterans. Must just be something in the clubhouse that as an outsider I can't understand. I must also just imagine that other teams let younger players play in stressful situations.

    From what I'm reading and watching..... There is no equipment to manage the roads, which makes sense if this happens 3 times a year... People have NO IDEA how to drive in ice/snow The hills are really steep (you don't know how flat MN is until you leave MN) The schools were ridiculed after the last storm for closing, so of course they weren't going to close again Pretty big cluster, really. I'm hoping we can get into the city today, for marriage counseling, brewery visit, and caroling on THE street in Portland for Xmas lights.....but I have my doubts.

    Well, if football is education, then make it like classes and make the participants pay to be in them, like art and music.....if they aren't actually education, then maybe they should be abolished, so the U can be about education. We are the only nation that has college sports like this, and our education system isn't as good as many others.....might not be a coincidence. Priorities in many layers of the education system seem a bit off....

    Three inches of snow here. Children have been stuck at school for hours, maybe over night. Five hours to drive nine miles. Unreal.

    Did you look? Because he predicted it months in advance. But, hey, we should just judge everyone with cynicism....
  16. Mike Sixel
    That's the point that some here make.....what can you get for these prospects, that is "proven", so you can actually be good, not hope to be good. That presupposes that proven veterans will maintain their play.....but, it is why I always wonder why teams won't trade 3-7th round picks more in the NFL, since those picks rarely work out to be even average.

    Heaven forbid we bring in opinions, sorry, won't happen again. Wow. Cameron is right about a lot of stuff (and wrong too, but that happens when your job is to offer opinions every single day).
  18. Mike Sixel
    Correct.
  19. Mike Sixel
    did you read the article? Veterans aren't getting 2nd contracts, for real money or at all, because rookies are cheaper.....there are less veterans getting a bigger piece of the pie.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I get that HS pitchers can take longer, but would you rather have Urias right now (hint, he's 19), or some random college pitcher? I too hope some college ACE becomes the obvious #1 pick, or that JJ Schwartz hits like Mauer.....but I wouldn't die if it was Greene.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Of course it goes back in their pockets. The international limits are terrible for the players. Every way you can drive up salaries, drives up all salaries. Every way you restrict what employees can get, owners get more. That's how business works.

    We are mere hours from Rogue One.....

    I don't think HRs count in BABIP....only other struck balls, but I could be wrong.

    Shopify, still like Shopify A LOT. I agree on Facebook, I just got in a few weeks ago. OTOH, wtf do I know? I almost bailed after the election......I still think year 2 of the new administration could be bad for the market....

    Heh, the comments are predictably "he's rich, why is he whining"....sigh.
