    Ya, re-reading it is fascinating in some ways. And yes, it could create a chain of threads. And yes, Jack was nice enough to respond. I imagine he's a pretty nice guy.

    I get it, you hate me.

    Ya, this does nothing for cord cutters. Alas. It also doesn't fix the blackout problem. Really, very little was accomplished here that MLB wasn't already going to do. Awful settlement, imo.

    He sounds like a nice guy, but entertainment is very subjective, right? He's just not my style. That morning show is not my style at all. I would imagine that others like it a lot, since it is highly rated. I'm glad TD got a guy like him to emcee, really, I meant it when I said "have fun everyone".

    What I read on line: Ya, they've lost a lot of recruits, but it is still their best class in years. Now, is that good, or a total slam on their awful recruiting the last few years? I don't know....

    That AA roster looks suspect........ I think Buxton is in AAA to start, with Santana in CF to start. Molitor really seems to love him. By the middle of the year, Sano will be at 3B, Buxton in CF, and Kepler in RF. And the Twins will be 5 games under, and finish 2 games over .500.

    Not a fan of the 529.......it isn't very liquid. That said, it isn't an awful idea. If I was young again, and had young kids, I'd be buying rental properties, and gifting them 10K a year of the value. Then, when they need the money, they can either use the rent, or sell the places. But, that ship has largely sailed for me.....though maybe not..... *not advice, just what I'd do.....

    An all time classic book. Truly.

    I have it both in my self directed 401K and personal account....if that means anything to anyone.....not advice, btw.
  10. Mike Sixel
    not advice: Activision Disney Netflix Amazon I am in on all of those.....

    Ouch. I imagine my mom, who relies on a small portfolio, is a bit down this week.......I should call her. And, that scenario sucks. And, thanks for being in the non-profit world, we need more help out there.
  12. Mike Sixel
    That would be a nice change. We can hope.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Hell, I'm 51 and I'm in an aggressive mix.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Yes, but, if you don't need the money in the next year or two, it doesn't really matter. Indeed, this is a great time to buy*. That said, I do need some of the money to help my kids pay off student loans.....so ya, this has hurt a bit. Really, most people should just ignore the market until they are much, much, older, and just keep putting money in. *that is not financial advice, that is an opinion. I repeat, that is NOT financial advice.

    I turn the radio when Meatsause talks on the rock station, I can't imagine going to an event he is emceeing. Have fun everyone.

    Am I supposed to celebrate cheese, or people who love cheese? I think that one is badly named.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Whatever happened to freedom and capitalism?
  18. Mike Sixel
    What's fun? He bunts. Or, they pinch hit with a guy that isn't a good hitter. I'm curious what is fun about it, compared to watching a battle between a paid hitter and a pitcher. From what managers say........that I've read on line........it really isn't that different, because you make the same choice over and over and over. What do you mean "manage their rosters better"? That sounds an awful like an opinion rather than a fact.
  19. Mike Sixel
    He'll be on the wrong side of 30 the longer they wait........and what if he gets hurt again? They have no shot to compete the next couple years, they really should deal him for two guys in A ball.......they should be signing lots of guys to 1 year deals they can flip. Pretty much anything other than what they are doing.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Fangraphs has a long article on Lucroy today......or yesterday, but I read it today. He also has major question marks. I don't know if this is selling low on Stewart or not, national pundit types don't seem as down on him as Twins' fans...... While I was all in on wanting to sign Russell Martin, and was for trading for Lucroy in the past, I'm not sure I would right now. It is very dependent on the medicals, and on the price. Frankly, I hope Toronto is awful this year, and they deal Martin at the deadline, and TR is in on that, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Other than the whole "we've been studying this since WW2" thing, sure, it is made up. Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it not true. Do you have any data showing how wrong all these studies are?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agreed Red Cow is over rated, including at their restaurants.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Trading Stewart isn't "giving up on him", it is exchanging him. That OP trade offer is ridiculous. Arcia and Stewart MIGHT do it......but I'm not sure.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Again, thanks, and, I can imagine Rob would like those 20 - 30 minutes back. I actually felt kind of bad for him. Like I said, whether you were behind or not doesn't matter any more......what matters is where you are now, and where you plan to go.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It is super boring watching pitchers hit 3-4 times a game. No amount of super exciting managing can offset that (of which, that excitement is greatly exaggerated, since nearly every game it is the same exact decision over and over).
