  1. Buxton was caught stealing? Bad jump, not fast, best throw ever, really a pickoff? Why can't this guy steal at a higher success rate?
  2. I love how Bruno and Allen worked on this together, and how Bruno gives him some of the credit (along with Kepler, of course) for the development. Great organizational leadership there.
  3. You know, national weed appreciation day is about how great weeds are.....and, they could point out how you can use jewel weed after you get a mosquito bit.....
  4. Hey, no one updated us on what Arcia did, could someone do that? thx
  5. then make Plouffe the DH, and put Sano at 3B....and don't bid a on guy you didn't expect to land, that can only play DH or 1B? They made these decisions themselves. They get to choose who plays where, and at what level of the minors/majors. No one else makes those decisions, no one.* *other than injuries, of course, forcing decisions to be made, but they still get to decide what to do after one.
  6. I didn't comment on the effect on SANO at all. I was responding to all the people up thread that said it wasn't about his on the field production. I'm not sure how to make that more clear at this point. I would have to actually offer an opinion, not ask a question, for there to be some inconsistency in my opinions. FWIW, I think not being in the best shape he can be is a bad career decision, on the field. But, that wasn't at all what my post was about. Not even a tiny bit.
  7. That just reinforced my belief that it is a product of a time that has passed and that the electoral college should go away
  8. No, do not use poison, just to have grass only. One of the worst parts of merica.
  9. Really, that's the thrust, right? Hell, remove the word "young" and you are still correct. People don't think about the long term much at all, in terms of changing their actual behaviors. They might worry about stuff, but they don't actually change stuff.
  10. What is the justification in this day and age? It is a waste of time and money. Why should we artificially assign votes based on winner take all states? There is no reason to do that, not that I can think of. Why not just use the popular vote? Right now, 4-6 states are up for grabs, year after year. Those 4-6 state decide who the president is, even if every person in NY and CA votes for 1 candidate. That seems like a violation of "every vote counts the same" to me.
  11. Just out of curiosity......why does he need to change anything if it isn't hurting his ability to produce on the field?
  12. I think the fact that Duffey gets the MLB start says a lot about the decision making process. I think they feel like they know what they have in Nolasco, and want to gather more data on Duffey. Duffey should be in AAA, with Nolasco getting the start here. Nolasco should be on a very short leash, if Berrios looks ready in AAA (which he will). Duffey should be the 2nd option from AAA, imo (or in the bullpen here in MN, as the long reliever).
  13. I've never understood why Milone is so undervalued, all he does is produce. No idea how, but he does.
  14. I despise the electoral college. It is not 1784 anymore, where we couldn't count things quickly across a nation.......hate it. Waste of time and money.
  15. He was quite good, have you watched the Station Agent?
  16. I am baffled that Sano got the Ponder treatment this year. He should have been in RF all day, every day.
  17. Once we finish the x files tonight or tomorrow (last day this year's special is free on the fox now app)....I'm going to push for Daredevil. BTW, while my wife was out of town, I watched Knights of Badassdom.....I was surprised at the quality of the cast, I had pictured it as a cheap indie thing. First half was great at mocking LARP (and related activities), second half was comic book gore and not as fun.
  18. There are actual bird truthers out there, claiming the bird was trained....... When do we discuss issues?
  19. I actually knew you were going to post this.....I am well aware of the delta.
  20. Watching home free now. Good stuff.
  21. For covers, I love devo's covers of working in a coal mine, and satisfaction. Love satisfaction. And who can forget hurt, covered by Johnny Cash.
  22. Dude, that is s depressing list. You ok?
  23. I just wish we were talking about making the world a better place. When does that part of the election start?
  24. Can't believe I started a nerd fight......
  25. NO ONE IS ASSUMING THAT. We've been over this. NO ONE IS ASSUMING HE IS A 2. The straw man is tiresome. It really is. Some of us think he has that upside, and we'd like to bet on the upside for a change. You agree with the Twins, bet on the low side play. That's fine, that's their right. Some of us just don't agree.
