    Well, at some point I will do that....... Crane of some kind, blackbird of some kind, gull of some kind, rooster of some kind, a few smaller birds. It was really dark in the rain forest so only 1 picture there.....

    Fans almost always say the projections are too low, remember the Mauer screaming the last two years?
  3. Mike Sixel
    then they can shut him down, like the Nationals, because they knew they'd get back to the playoffs again and improve every year after that......
  4. Mike Sixel
    Nope, no cable..... All ESPN has covered since this am (from what I can see when I walk by the break room at work) is the NFL.....the NCAA will be forgotten in a day or two. I don't know anyone that watched the 2 previous games. Someone must be.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    So basically, we should expect him to be shut down again this year....meaning if they really want value from him, he should be up early. Otherwise they will need to shut him down in September, or am I not understanding correctly?
  6. Mike Sixel
    They fought hand to hand combat?
  7. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't deal any at this point. If Polanco and Gordon end up blocking one of the other....then I would. But I don't see that any time soon.
  8. Mike Sixel
    How is this a big year for Polanco? He's destined for Rochester, until someone gets hurt, and he's young. I think this is a make or break year for Beresford and Michael, either they are on the Twins this year, or are gone/filler forever (other than a cup of coffee). But, that's a nit. I agree with all of this other than that part.

    I'd try for 2/11,12 for Jepsen. Escobar could get a 2 year deal. No one else on that list should, imo.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for doing the interview! I think he moves up quickly to AA (in 2 years or so), then we find out what he can/cannot do.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Can't tell if sarcasm or not....
  12. Mike Sixel
    That's fair, I was discussing who was likely to be better in that start, for this year. That should be clear from my posts, that I don't think they did everything last year to win last year. The decision, if you care more about the future, is more complex. I'd like to see Ryan care about the present at some point.

    I actually posted studies about this a few months ago on this board. It's a myth according to the analysis that is publicly available. As for why no teams do it? Conservatism. It's why NFL coaches make bad decisions every week, if they "gamble" against convention, and it doesn't work, they are fired. If they do what everyone else does, they can't be second guessed.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Based on what? Baseball not doing that? Hockey not doing that? Elite players will get paid, no matter how old they are. What holds down salaries is the draft.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agree with me? No more college sports, just stuff for "regular" students to do for fun?
  16. Mike Sixel
    right, the last two were not SUPER fun to read for me. Which is too bad. I just finished The Long Earth. Inventive idea, but I had no idea it was part of a 4/5 book series.....sigh. I did quite enjoy it. Just wish it was a short series.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Pretty boring national days the next week......but popcorn is coming up.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, no one is talking about anything other than the NFL today.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not sure what this post is....other than "don't second guess the Twins". Making this whole site useless.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Did you miss me while I was in PR? Today is national milk day. For my soon to be 20 year old, every day is MILK DAY!
  21. Mike Sixel
    What was more likely, May doing well in a spot start, not stretched out, then not available for a week, or Berrios doing well? No one is ever sure anyone will be good, but you can't wait until you are sure, because you can never be sure.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Really need to just kill college athletics, and make school about school......but I don't see that happening any time soon. It is free training for the NBA and NFL, and makes lots of (the non-athletes and non-students) people rich......
  23. Mike Sixel
    I agree with that........she was going to die. I just don't know how I felt about it in the tv show.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I don't know if he's getting screwed, but the fans were last year when he wasn't promoted in an attempt to actually win and get to the playoffs, imo.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I liked this, but I'd rather have pushed an "agree" button.....
