    Well, they weren't 7-2 when I wrote that......and I can like a post/article, while being unhappy about how the team is doing. I am much happier now that they have realized Sano is a 3B, and not a RF, for example. Glad they figured it out......
  2. Mike Sixel
    Do we have ANY idea if he's a good leader or not? Why do people guess on this stuff, and feel so strongly about it (no matter if you are on the pro or con side.....)?
  3. Mike Sixel
    I went 35. I could see 38, I could also see 32.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I am definitely more positive, now that Sano is at 3B and Kepler is in RF. Those are both good things. I, for one, can feel happier about the team, while also wondering how sustainable it is, or whether guys should be dealt......but for this thread? Yay on all those things Nick posted about.....much more fun to "watch" the game on gamecast when they are playing well.

    I bought cherries yesterday, but also did not buy Raniers......fruit right off the vines/trees is so good.... I love a good mojito. Going to have to celebrate that one.

    FG is starting their trade series.....Buxton was 42 last year, and if off the list this year. "Buxton and Soler are reminders that not every talented young player improves linearly, and while both could still have good careers, it seems pretty clear that the stock of both players is down relative to what it was a year ago." One thing to remember, Cameron writes the articles, and he's always been skeptical of Buxton hitting very well. Always liked him as a player, never loved him like KLAW and others.

    Days ago......33>28.

    Which justifies shooting him how? Typical blame the victim. So sad. Truly sad.

    The front office doesn't call for early inning bunts...... The owner sees nothing wrong with the manager? Hmmmm. Well apparently tactics don't matter.
  10. Mike Sixel
    You mean MN, right? Typical Twins' bobo, playing it slow on promotions....

    The Vikings losing the super bowl.......over and over.....

    From Baseball America today: Michael (Haddonfield, Illinois): Max Kepler's up to seven homers for the big club after hitting just one for Rochester this season. Is his power sustainable, and if so, what underlying factors in the minors support his big-league power surge? John Manuel: His power will be more to the gaps than over the fence power early in his career, but Kepler's a big guy with a nice swing. I do see his peak for power being in the 20-22 HR range, real above-average home run power at his peak. I see him having a similar career to Nick Markakis but with a bit more home run pop. Incidentally, the Twins' first-round pick this year, Alex Kirilloff, is definitely Kepler-ish though he may wind up with a bit more power, and he probably runs a bit better.

    I don't know how to respond to that w/o making a judgement that probably isn't fair....... The events in Dallas are horrific. However, I truly believe they will continue to happen until there are substantive changes in police shootings and otherwise treating people of color very, very, differently than I am treated.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Though I did love the original tribute, and should have made it more clear.....as is your point. Both threads devolved a bit, to which I contributed out of frustration of the events, and few others to talk to (don't know anyone here......).
  15. Mike Sixel
    Maybe not.....but what better tribute than to have something change?
  16. Mike Sixel
    #$^@#$^(*! now I have RW friends posting on line that this wasn't about race.....what delusional fantasy do these people live in?
  17. Mike Sixel
    46% wow......
  18. Mike Sixel
    he's 33....are they competing for real next year, when he's 34? What about the year after that, when he's 35?
  19. Mike Sixel
    You'd think their suggestion of using Polanco as a super utility guy would be happening by now.....but, he's just playing 2B, a position he has almost zero chance of playing in MN any time soon.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm not arguing to trade him......but I think if a terrible (or just bad) team isn't willing to trade a 33 yo for a top 50 prospect? Well, then that team is going to have a hard time getting value in any trade ever, and probably should give up on trying to improve any way other than the draft......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Those top international FAs were purchased YEARS ago, and were 16.....getting a guy in AA who is in the top 50, meaning there is significantly less risk? That costs more. A lot more (if there was a free market).
  22. Mike Sixel
    I am almost out of hope that white cops will ever be prosecuted for killing innocent black men. Maybe that tiniest bit of hope will come true someday. Maybe someday people will stop hating others that look different than them. But, we seem to be a long way away from that, given that we have candidates spewing this hatred daily. And yes, I'm mad.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, since we know from the last decade he'll be found innocent anyway, I guess we should presume he's innocent. That's what history tells us. Does anyone have any reason to believe otherwise?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Assume what you want.....but denying institutional racism exists? Denying this wouldn't happen to a white person? come on.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Good write up. Good luck to him!
