    This latest SCOTUS decision is interesting..... On it's face, it looks like a bad, bad decision for freedom. But, I don't know, if there is a warrant out for my arrest, maybe they should be allowed to search me/my car....OTOH, wow, that is one scathing dissent, and I think I side with the dissent.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I appreciated the humor, actually......too serious on this thread.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Sorry, I didn't go back to before there were playoffs to see if they lost 100 games, and then made the playoffs. My bad....

    Putting aside "God wrote it, so we can't question it" as an argument....... For years, it was illegal in the US to divorce, because God wrote in the bible that it was wrong/bad/evil. Then, humans changed their interpretation of that part of the document.......is it possible that we could change our interpretation of the 2nd amendment in a similar way? If not, why is changing the constitution ever good? Should we not have decided that equal education is good? Should we not have changed the words, and allowed women to vote? I don't really understand your stand......unless you literally believe that once one person says "this is what it means" we can never disagree with that meaning, nor can we change it.....

    Ryan said his future is in RF....what about this year? Is this year the future? I have no idea how to parse that statement.

    In their history, PHI has never lost 100 games, so not sure how they went from 100 losses to the playoffs. Same with the Braves, never lost 100 games in a season. Ever. Now, they both had a year where they lost in the 90s and then made the playoffs the next year.....so I guess it is possible that it can happen, if you change the parameters of what I said, sure. Those events occurred more than 24 years ago.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Yup. Sounds boring....and I love fantasy.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ha. Yes, I was sitting there trying to figure out how the white walkers could possibly hurt the dragons. I mean, the masters knew there were dragons, and just quit. And, I know all the tropes, Brock......maybe a white walker warg.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    They hurt it when it was younger, but yes, that is a trope. I just hope there is some doubt, someplace, and the last two years aren't a predictable tying up.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Dozier is fine here for what? To help them only lose 80 or so games next year (that would be a 20 game improvement, give or take, probably)? How do you keep Dozier and Polanco, next year, and not have it be like Arcia this year? That's the question....
  11. Mike Sixel
    No, the point was, it has happened twice, and neither time was 100 losses. One of those took a team that was supposed to be good (not by the team, or fans, but by "experts" for what that is worth) to have the most injuries and use of a 25 man roster in history......one was kind of like the Twins. the point was, it is nearly unheard of for a team to be this bad, and then be in the playoffs the following year. the sooner the FO admits that, the sooner it can set itself up for 2018 and beyond.
  12. Mike Sixel
    And, Trump fires is campaign manager.......
  13. Mike Sixel
    In 2014....TX was devastated by injuries, setting a MLB record for most players to be active on a 25 man roster in 1 year. Their manager resigned after that year. The Twins have no such excuses, imo. Houston serves as the 1 example in the last 40 years, and that was 92 games?
  14. Mike Sixel
    you mean if the Twins were winning the division, and I felt it was real? yes, probably I'd deal for a real MLB starter......no idea if that is the exact player or not, but I would not punt a position in a year I was a legit contender.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Then why bring it up, if no one thinks it?
  16. Mike Sixel
    No team has gone from 100 losses to the playoffs the next year. Ever.* * I don't know if this true or not, but I'm pretty confident it is. so, ya, contending next year looks a bit unlikely.
  17. Mike Sixel
    And how do you, or anyone, know what is or is not going on his head? It seems you and others are jumping to a conclusion that we really can't make......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Bummer.
  19. Mike Sixel
    We'll have to disagree on Santana looking like he broke through, many people here did not think that had happened. I do agree, neither look like a good option right now.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I agree Murphy should come up in July/August if he keeps hitting, they need more data on him...... I actually don't mind Suzuki as a backup. I think catcher is a position where a veteran is needed, to help the young catcher and even young pitchers. Now, there might be better veterans for this role, I have no idea..... Either way, good luck to Mr. Suzuki in his new experiment!
  21. Mike Sixel
    Or, you know.....3 days on, 1 day off, for Kepler, and for Park....then everyone gets relatively consistent at bats. This stems from: 1. His lost year last year, he lost Molitor, imo. 2. The signing of Park, and the non-trade of Plouffe. 3. The irrational love of Danny Santana, who can't hit, and is a below average to terrible fielder (depending on position). 4. The inability to rotate players for some reason. 5. A refusal to PH for Suzuki or other players late in games. 6. Arcia something.....this is on both the team and the player, but since I don't see him day to day, I can't say what his issues are....
  22. Mike Sixel
    As you know, I have been predicting it will be the women who rule in the end.......and if Sansa marries Littlefinger and somehow runs that show....it will look that way. Her speech of "don't you think I know anything" was a glimpse of what she could be.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, a few hundred K over is a nice baby step in changing culture I guess. I like they went HS, frankly, though next year, I want the college catcher I think* *tons can change in a year.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Except there were no individuals to care about on Jon's side anymore.....other than Jon and his two lieutenants, they are all anonymous. For me, it didn't matter how many died, Jon was going to live. Tormund might die, but I'm not sure why anyone would care all that much, and Davos had to live so we can wonder if he's going to kill the Red Woman or not. Also, now Littlefinger is the most powerful Northern leader.......maybe. Something is really lacking, for me, in this season. Honestly, Sandor Clegane's story is the best of the year for me right now.....and King's Landing is at least interesting and unpredictable. It was much more interesting when it was smaller, and about the characters and their schemes. I love the fights and battles.....but something is missing for me this year. I think they are skipping too much ..... if archers and a hundred boats can't fight 3 dragons, how will a couple of magical beings and a bunch of zombies?
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's very important Danny Santana be up here and playing, and Polanco be in AAA during his last option year, on a team that is neither young, nor good.....
