    Ya, I know that's a risky thing for me to type!

    The irrational part is on my end.....I don't think as a FAN, I have any need to be rational about my expectations...others don't agree, I'm cool with that, as long as we are respectful of each other here.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Well, those numbers looked A LOT better when I typed them, than they do now!

    Garver will be a MLB catcher, I'm certain (barring injury)....imo, he should probably be higher ranked for that reason.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on Dozier. What a year!
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well, we've been told to be patient for 5 or 6 years now.....on the team. And, every year, those goal posts move....every year. Some of us, knowing that fandom is 100% irrational, aren't going to act rationally, it just isn't going to happen. Hopefully we can still be friends!

    If you are making 20%, keep doing what you are doing! I am making less than that, except for the company stock I buy, which is insanely up, and I get to buy it at 15% off....I have considerably more than you, but I'm like twice as old and I get stock as a bonus most years. Then again, I didn't really start until 9 years ago....give or take. I'll look, but I'd guess I have been more in the 15% range for all the other investments. That said, I've been somewhat conservative on a few decisions, which has cost me. And, I badly timed various Apple purchases... Hmmmm....in looking at the stocks I've picked (ignoring the conservative funds in retirement), I'd guess I'm making slightly more than you the last few years. Nvidia has been very, very, very good to me. But seriously, if you are actually picking individual stocks and making 20%.... 1. It wont continue 2. Don't change your strategy
  8. Mike Sixel
    Taco, Vodka, Golf....wow. I don't even know what to do now.
  9. Mike Sixel
    It's a long list! I just thought it was funny since we just spent another 100 comments arguing over him....or maybe that was last thread...
  10. Mike Sixel
    Heck you left off Gordon....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Either way, good luck to both of them. In baseball and life.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I love the gloating parts of the thread also....it's a bit early. But, at least now there is hope.
  13. Mike Sixel
    You know, that's how it looked in teh ads....so I'm out. Too many other things to watch. Norrell and Strange is on Netflix now, just started that.
  14. Mike Sixel
    This is not a Twins' article, but let's just say Molitor is not high on most lists.... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-should-we-evaluate-a-manager/#more-232075 No surprise to me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    ? that's how the world works, not scummy at all, imo.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed!
  17. Mike Sixel
    I've never read that from a national scout.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Wow.
  19. Mike Sixel
    All fair. I'm tired of the "well, just because it is happening elsewhere, we shouldn't expect it" posts, on this topic, on spending, on how long it takes to rebuild, on pretty much everything that goes wrong....
  20. Mike Sixel
    great post, sir, great post. Now wake up from your dream.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Obviously a guess: Dan Szymborski 12:28 Paul Molitor, I suspect the Twins let him play out the last year of his contract
  22. Mike Sixel
    Never.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Good luck, and welcome to the team!
  24. Mike Sixel
    I wanted to say thanks to everyone that ran a game thread this year. It was a very hard year, and the humor and fun in that part of the site was one of the reasons I came back to the site every day. I hope everyone has a great off season.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This is how I feel. Neither should be counted on for any role at all. If they do provide value, awesome!
