    I don't have cable, haven't for years. With everyone offering streaming now, or very soon, you can choose your channels now, and see almost anything (other than sports). Even Netflix is likely to lose my business soon, as Amazon and (soon) BBC America will have me covered. Netflix's one advantage at this point is its ability to recommend quirky comedies that I otherwise would never find. And that's a big advantage. btw, does HBO Now have the worst app ever? On the Roku, I saw no way to say "show me this series"....it never figured out I was watching GoT or Sonic Hiways, ever.

    What I'm learning is that Christie and Kasich should have gone hard after Trump earlier....... It's like football teams that play by "the book" that are completely outmanned. The odds of that working ar super low. Unless they are playing the long game for the next election, they effectively played it not to lose, and are going to lose, not surprisingly. If it isn't Rubio at this point, I'd be surprised.

    This is a great tautology, btw. This it's a complete misunderstanding of atheism. Only religious people think you need a god for there to be good and evil. I, otoh, know there is both, without knowing one way or the other of there is a god or dozens of them.

    No issue at all. Glad we got it cleared up, and I agree, they did not think the Mauer thing would happen, but the lack of any candidates behind him that they believed in is an issue.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for not saying "goose this".....
  6. Mike Sixel
    They aren't "guesses", they are hypotheses, based on data. They also aren't invalid because they are wrong sometimes. Such bad logic......
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm responding to the argument he can't hit because he wears down. Was that not obvious? So, if he doesn't hit well because he wears down, then rest is called for, no? Also, this "trend" goes back to his time with the A's. NONE of this is about the Twins.......it is about questioning the argument that he wears down, and somehow WE are all smart enough to know that, and neither the As or Twins were. Is that clear?

    A well run team would have realized this, played a bad player 1 more time a week, and gotten better overall production, yet no one did that the last 4 years......why?
  9. Mike Sixel
    His new social media ad, since down......mis-spelled "Country".....Clearly he didn't write it, but come on man.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Thou shalt not lie.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    Well, if they aren't competitive this year, and he's not good in year 4.....that means they might get 2 years where his performance matters. I don't care about the money, but the opportunity cost of trying a younger player. I'm not opposed to the signing, just find it odd, as you do, do to the spot in the rebuild, and the context of the current roster.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Agreed with the above......so every single year he's been over worked in his career? It isn't that he just isn't that good a hitter?
  13. Mike Sixel
    My only issue is the age, and even that's more about if they are really competitive this year or not......and how he will age when they are.
  14. Mike Sixel
    This is a wholly mean spirited comment about your fellow posters.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I don't recall TR saying that he didn't expect a good offensive year when they extended him......does anyone have those quotes handy? I don't know, saying the problem is that he's been tired 4 of the last 5 years, or whatever, seems like a pretty convenient excuse to me.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I felt bad you were doing all the work lately.....I had no idea what day it was until I looked.
  17. Mike Sixel
    No, that's stupid. Who bets their life for a measly 250K? And no, $1MM isn't enough either.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Excellent economic decision. Pretty* sales people make more money *women or men
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm hoping the team decides that getting youth experience is important this year, and it is 60% Murphy from day 1. He's the starter next year and beyond, he should be getting as much work this year as possible (w/o wearing him down), so that next year and beyond he's the man. I predict it is more like the exact opposite though.....

    Today is national shower with a friend day. We have a two person shower in our house, it is one of the things I'll miss most when we move. Unfortunately, she worked out this am, so we did not shower together......

    This post made me smile.....

    Let rich people get all the money from working so hard owning businesses.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Nope, everyone gets the same money. If you choose to live where it is more expensive, that's your issue. Consequences.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Of course, we'd have to figure out how to stop health companies and education companies from just taking all that money thru insane prices. That's tricky....

    People will always want more than the basics can provide. there will always be enough people that want to work for more of something (satisfaction, money, pride, recognition). I am not yet ready to envision a world of so much plenty that no one works......also, my proposal is much more about funding what should be rights (healthcare and education), than about funding everything. If the market keeps going up at average rates, people would have A LOT of money in those accounts by the time they are 18. It is not a perfect idea, but I like it better than our current systems. We NEED to unbuckle employment and healthcare, to make our people risk takers and mobile (if they want to be either).
