    yes, well, um, ya......hmmm.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Thank goodness for this thread...... Kepler! Sighted! thanks for doing this.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I do agree, and have been preaching for a few years now.....but that time is past. but, add it to the long list of moves I didn't like from my favorite team.
  4. Mike Sixel
    heh, I can imagine! It wasn't exactly a hard hitting piece......I'll check that out when I get home, maybe.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It's not a bad joke.....but it is an amazing thing to do. I have great admiration for people that try hard to make the world a better place (by helping others, not by imposing their beliefs on others, that's a different kind of "help").
  6. Mike Sixel
    I notice you did not specify a day, or year......
  7. Mike Sixel
    this, they were treated awfully......and could have responded better. While I can be "harsh" about a players' ability, I don't attack their personality*, work ethic, or injury stuff, or other non-performance things. They are people. *unless they bring it on themselves, by doing things that put them/others at risk.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ha, no. someone else wrote that, but I recall the "controversy". It may have been a blog, as referenced above. I only follow KLAW, Calcaterra, Sullivan, Morrus, beergraphs, D&D, and Mearls on Twitter.
  9. Mike Sixel
    If I follow another team, it will be the Cubs (I love how they've built their team), and Seattle* *I am moving to Oregon, so, ya, another great stadium/bad team!
  10. Mike Sixel
    that was a shot at how his wife acts on twitter........I believe.
  11. Mike Sixel
    You know me (well, not really, but I think we met once, and here and all, now I'm babbling.....), I would just go all in on the youth this year (I would have last year.......), so I'm good if they go May.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Imo, it is Jepsen. He's the veteran "proven" player. May is the multi inning guy, according to the GM, and how he's been used by the manager. Unless he's not, which makes you wonder about how he's been used so far.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm with Nick, I'm never going to judge a PLAYER for how he/she battles through injuries. These are human beings, with bodies, not robots. I take that back, if a player is hurt, knows it, is not productive, and doesn't tell the team? I might judge that some.....but not 100% harshly, but some.
  14. Mike Sixel
    It's not clear the GM and manager are on the same page.......or maybe they are, and they just are afraid to lose guys, even guys they won't play. Or, maybe, there just hasn't been much need for the bullpen so far, and he'll get more time. We'll see over the next few weeks, I'd imagine.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm going with today. 100% LOCK. Book it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It just seems, to me Brock, it is not a well planned system.......they didn't have a plan for Park/Plouffe/Sano to be on the same team, but bid on Park. They jerked May around last year for that 1 spot start. They never played Sano in the OF, in the eventuality this might happen. They didn't call up Rogers last year to be a LOOGY, despite needing one, and he's not pitched out of the bullpen at all, despite most people thinking his future is as a LOOGY. They often play with a short bench, or call up legit prospects to sit around. It just doesn't look planned from where I sit.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Well, they just got younger! One positive, I guess.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Who sees more time, Tonkin, or Rogers?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I have always been a Gordon fan, no idea why........but I'm on his bandwagon big time this year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I think I'm in love, and I have no idea why.......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Priceless. Seriously awesome post.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Dang, I got that pool wrong. Not surprised at any of this. If only they had used Taylor out of the bullpen last year, they might have some idea what they have......
  23. Mike Sixel
    I agree with this, but if people think culture, and leadership and other stuff matters.......changing positions and asking players to work on new pitches must matter also.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Oooh, thanks for the reminder to watch that. Off to the phone, since that's blocked at work.....brb.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I've read conflicting stuff, nick, but like I said, I try to keep this thread lite! I just don't eat desserts as much, and when I do, I don't like them as much. So, I used to eat peach cobbler, but I have no idea when I last did. I do tend to like the desserts with fruit much better than sugar based ones...... Given that I am moving out of state, lots of people are trying to have lunch or a drink with me over the next few weeks......but none today! But I am having dinner with a former co-worker, I'm going to count that one. and, TJ is one of the best of the founders, if not the best. Stupid slavery makes it hard to call him anywhere near perfect though.....
