    I can't see that on my work computer.....but did you just call me Wally?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Well, if directionally.....he is nearly number two......isn't the approximation he's pretty darn good, and should be part of the future?
  3. Mike Sixel
    You know, this all happened so fast, no.....and probably not more money either. Like, I suggested it 2 weeks ago, and it is already a done deal. At my company, that's unheard of. I've been doing business work, while working for IT, most of my career.....I am moving to the business to make it more clear that I am the business on this ginormous program I help lead.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Ironically, as of this week, I will not report to IT for the first time in 2 decades......

    The data is clear......fast guys should hit the ball in the air, just like everyone else. Buxton should be trying get hits (or even walks), not bunting, imo. I am indifferent on the bullpen usage other than Chargois getting innings. Vargas and Murphy should be in the lineup all the time. The fact they aren't is one of the reasons I believe Molitor is not the right manager for a rebuilding team. I really can't understand the thinking here at all. Starting Berrios and Duffey is a no brainer, frankly.

    Trout ... .... .... .... Donaldson Betts Machado Altuve Dozier is in clearly in the top 7-10.....but he's not in the top 5, imo. Great season! wow.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Joe Madden disagrees with you....he has recently said as much. Development continues in the majors. These guys are NOT finished products.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Man, the good place looks like the worst tv show ever.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    We agree on that for sure.
  10. Mike Sixel
    What evidence have you seen that he does anything well? There are plenty of outcomes implying he does some things poorly.... Again, just because the outcomes were bad, and for some predictably so, does not mean we cannot observe the process, and question how well he does the process of managing. now, maybe it doesn't matter, and you could be the manager.....but I just don't think that's true at all.

    why would anyone watch the OJ stuff? I suppose people will watch the Joan Benoit stuff too.....I don't get it. edit:99% sure I got that last name wrong, because I just don't care about stuff like that.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Ok, that's funny. I wasn't expecting that, and I know there is a kernel of truth there, so thank you. Made me smile on many levels.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Can I be banned from reading any non-Sports Bar topics? I am not sure I'm strong enough to stop....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Then why are they paid millions of dollars a year, if they have no effect? We can't know anything about Molitor's ability to set lineups, decide to sacrifice bunt or not, improve fundamentals, or anything, until he has good / great players around? Why, if he has no effect, would we know anything then? And, why would we have to know all the possible replacement names to have an opinion that he's not good at his job?

    from the prospects chat: Zonk 2:24 What farm system, in your opinion, had the best year in terms of internal prospect growth? What prospects really emerged in that system? Eric A Longenhagen 2:25 Not sure if it's the "best" but just off the top of my head (because, ya know, it's a chat) Minnesota had a bunch of guys perform well this year on the farm. LaMonte Wade, Huascar Ynoa, Luis Arraez...
  16. Mike Sixel
    How so?
  17. Mike Sixel
    No Trump term is a good idea, even it means electing a moderate Republican like HRC.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It's hard to understand what Suzuki does well behind the plate. If the Twins really think he's helping the pitchers.....just how bad are the pitchers?
  19. Mike Sixel
    And, on Dozier: mike sixel 12:59 True of False: Dozier will be traded this off season? True or False: Dozier should be traded this off season? Dan Szymborski 1:00 False, true. Possibly unfair: Jeb 1:08 Isn't Raindogs question "Are there any MVP voters in Minneapolis?" Dan Szymborski 1:08 Heh Not Twins: Ronnie 1:13 Markakis for Ricky Nolasco? Dan Szymborski 1:13 Would actually rather have Markakis

    I bought DRGO, Microsoft, and GM....for dividend purposes. My adviser and I are discussing a long term play in a real estate effort....and my wife just met a guy that helps people buy RE in Portland.....what I'd like to do is set up an investment pool with about 10 others that buys 3-5 rental units out here....112 people move to Portland every day. RE is going up 15% a year. Even in a recession, I like buying some RE for passive income.

    Today's chat: Jedidiah 12:27 Are you buying shares of Kennys Vargas for 2017? Dan Szymborski 12:27 Depends how cheap they're trading at. Remember, he wasn't actually good at AAA this year. Raindog 12:50 Dozier currently has 41 HR. How many more must he hit in the next 12 games before he gets a single first place MVP vote? At least 9, right? Dan Szymborski 12:50 I think he'll sneak out one.
  22. Mike Sixel
    And? How hard can that be, really?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, not all of those were planned.....so I'm not sure you can say they were following that strategy. I liked the OP, thanks!
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ouch.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Was that written in 1970?
