    ah, the old "they weren't 1 piece away, so don't try to make it better" argument. It's one of my favorite excuses for not trying to be better or spend money.

    Trump is either going to embolden Democrat voters to turn out in yuge numbers, or win....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Adults are stooooopid when it comes to this stuff. Really stupid.
  4. Mike Sixel
    It's possible, I think it is largely unpredictable right now. Hell, yesterday people invested like BREXIT was not going to happen.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    come on, every team releases 38% of it's bullpen by May. That's not that unusual.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Maybe people should think about it as a Plouffe for Sano trade........that should make it more palatable.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to all of them!

    Pennsylvania was Obama's narrowest win, I think......and 538 thinks Clinton is already over confident there....

    I'd give it about a 25% shot that there his political violence soon. Of course, Black Lives Matter is political violence......which is a great irony to me. This is a group basically doing what the right says they will do in the future "when you try to take my guns".....yet they hate BLM.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I guess if one only looks at Clinton, and not the Senate, House, governorships, and state houses......but I think everyone on the "over educated" side is really, really, really underestimating the likely turn out from those that agree with Trump.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Lots of things to think about......but it really is about the pending change in how we all make money. There aren't jobs. There won't be jobs. People lower on the education scale, and lower on the income scale....they are mad. And, it is only going to get worse. It will also be worse in the US, since we think guns are a great idea, and our "leaders" have spent 30 years preaching hatred and mocking intelligence. I see grim times ahead, unless the young really turn out and help overcome the fear of change that the older people (and less educated people) have.

    Poor Terry. There were apparently not good options 2 years ago that could still be on this roster, and none last year either. There were no FAs or trade candidates, in all of MLB baseball. There were also no guys in the minor league system that Bill Smith built the last 4 years. None of this is Ryan's fault.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I truly believe this vindicates my statements that political violence is coming to the US in the next generation. I also believe this should be a wake up call for snooty Democrats that think they are going to automatically win anything.

    If it was case by case, it wouldn't be the same every year. And, if you think you know more than KLAW..... No. He has consistently criticized this approach of not challenging college players, specifically the twins approach.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Because there is no one in the minors they like more right now.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'd do it for any of those players. I don't know the other teams would....but maybe.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Jeremy, thanks, your coverage has been awesome.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They why is it a trend every year, if it is about individuals and not process?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I will also admit......I only kind of like watching most baseball......or any sport other than football or sometimes soccer (I tried to watch the free Twins' game on mlb.tv today, but apparently it is blacked out in Oregon.......).
  20. Mike Sixel
    His numbers are absurd, but not having cable means I can't comment on who is the most fun to watch.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Lies of Locke Lamora is a great book, with little "fantasy" in it. It is also on sale on Google Play for 1.99 right now......
  22. Mike Sixel
    Tried to actually watch this....somehow OR is blacked out....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't know what to do about Polanco / Dozier.....and that's on the FO. They are out of options next year, and no one has an idea if he's a MLB player or not. I wouldn't be mad if they dealt Dozier, I wouldn't be mad if they kept Dozier. To me, the BIG changes I want to see: Sano at 3B May in the rotation Chargois in the bullpen
  24. Mike Sixel
    A lot of LotR suffers from boringness........a lot...... Brock (or others), have you read The Lies of Locke Lamora? Great book.....book 2 is good, book 3 is between ok and good....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Well, then I guess I'm wrong.....I was mostly looking at Cabbage and Blakenthorn, who everyone raved about last year. I have no issue with a new draftee starting there, most of the time. I do see 3 or more college guys that were NOT drafted this year on the roster...... We can disagree on this all we want, but it is not a position I hold uniquely that the Twins start their players out at lower levels than other teams, and keep them at lower levels longer than other teams. KLAW holds that opinion about them, for example.
