    Sorry we stole the focus from classical music everyone.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Fair, but I'm not sure what the distinction really is on Quentin, but fair. And, I agree with your latter point.......I think Rosario and Buxton are going to be "good enough", and Kepler will sit in AAA because "we want him to play every day". Frankly, I want the best players up here.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Aren't you a bit young for this to be your list?
  4. Mike Sixel
    top 75 prospect sounds like a guy that could be better than Dozier, I'm not sure I understand the previous post.

    I don't know if I'll go see this, or not. I have very, very, low expectations. Superman is boring. Really boring. So, let me know, once you see it, if it is any good, thanks,
  6. Mike Sixel
    Neither of those is much of a surprise. Hoping Kepler mashes and forces his way up, somehow. Quentin....still on the roster....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Right on? Sigh. Over, I'll go over, but I think TX makes a trade or two, and passes them.

    Queen greatest is a great album. Truly.

    Btw, I did the Current's 10 essential albums list thingy.....it is really hard to say only 10 albums. I did not pick the most important, or the best, but ones I come back to over and over. I would have put Beethoven's 9th on there, but that seemed silly given it was the Current. Also, I could not pick a jazz album by name.....so no jazz made it. This list is just the music I put on the most often, by far. I feel like the Beastie boys should replace the Clash, given that i listen to them more, or maybe Peter Gabriel's So, or American Idiot...... Stupid work is blocking the ability for me to do this easily....guess I'll type it (these are not in order): XTC - Oranges and Lemons (could be skylarking, but whatever) Dee Lite - World Clique (one hit wonder, but 4 great songs on here) Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues (this is the one that got me to them) Arctic Monkeys - AM (the only current album on the list, but the Black Keys or Jack White would be on a longer list) Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes (unreal, so good still) Weezer - Weezer (blue) Soul Coughing - Irresistible Bliss Devo - Freedom of Choice (almost went with the first one instead) The Clash - London Calling Nirvana - Nevermind Really wish there was room for classic rock, like Zepelin on there.....

    How would you ever find it? Classical radio only plays the classics. Is there a good podcast/talk show for this kind of stuff?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Used to listen to a ton of Celtic, and some jazz. Maybe I've just changed from wine and "elitist" music to beer and rock over the last decade or so. I blame craft brewers and Fender guitar. We used to have "season tickets" to the Dakota, and the theater. I hope we pick that kind of stuff back up when we move this spring.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I just did my "10 essential albums" list on the current......but I just listed ten I really like, not the ten most important........ I used to listen to a ton of classical music, not so much lately. It is hard to find new stuff, and you can only listen to the same pieces so many times.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Spring is for practicing stuff like this, imo.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Zombie, or white, or other?
  15. Mike Sixel
    How did Milone look?
  16. Mike Sixel
    ah, I read your post wrong.......I thought you were saying you hadn't seen any evidence that anyone saw it as a steal, my bad. I don't pretend to know about "most", since I only read a few sites now, and not tons of them.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Really? Dave Cameron views it that way for one.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Just because something is inevitable doesn't mean people can't be unhappy about it. Now, I'd argue taking sports too seriously, and truly being unhappy, is bad for you, but I don't think we are all there.
  19. Mike Sixel
    so, they should just give up after 25 starts, and not help someone build for the future? I'm not sure I understand your argument.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm talking specifically about the nomination process here......not the election process. And, sometimes, even when there are really more than 2 real choices, all of them will be not good. It is going to happen.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I am in general agreement that having, say, 3 primary days where people are whittled out would make some sense.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The states had their say in picking the "non super" delegates. That's my point. As long as there are only really 2 choices, the people need more power, not less power. YMMV, of course.
  23. Mike Sixel
    dang, I missed a word or two......that should read "the caucus system should NOT be for choosing delegates"
  24. Mike Sixel
    I do agree that having a guy in the bullpen that knows he has 2 good pitches, and will use those to get strikes, is a good plan. Like Duffey maybe.
  25. Mike Sixel
    As long as the masses are choosing candidates, the caucus system should for choosing candidates. It can stay for other party business, I guess. As for super delegates and the party controlling the process more, there are arguments on both sides to be made.
