    I'd like them to choose a strategy. Either go with the young guys, or acquire veterans for a run. Going halfway just slows down the progress of the young guys, and gets them 83 wins. Not Burdi? Then Rogers, or Milone, or pick someone........
  2. Mike Sixel
    cutting Nolasco and bringing up Burdi and moving May to the rotation would cost the Twins around 400K next year. Will that really hurt their profits?

    Such a thing of beauty, it was, to watch him before. That's what makes now so painful...... I expect him to get as many at bats as the 10 best 1B get, but to produce like a bottom third 1B hitter. I really hope I am wrong.

    Most draft picks don't work out either, should they stop using draft picks, and instead only sign FAs and give those picks away? There are only three ways to add talent, are you suggesting they just abandon one of those ways? Frankly, I'm tired of the game where we are only supposed to care if they Twins are as successful as other cry poor teams.

    I enjoyed it very much. I was literally saying....kill him, kill your father....It is good to have real villains

    I am in love with this post.

    It is pretty unlikely that May moves from short person to starter during the year. So, if he starts as a short reliever, he likely (not certainly) is a RP for the year, regardless of what any other starter does.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I endorse the message of this 100%. They are in this position because they won't either: 1. commit to the young guys they have (NONE OF WHOM got a tryout last fall) 2. Sign good RP FAs. That's no excuse to put a guy with #2 upside in the bullpen this year. Maybe in a year you were going all in, but they aren't doing that this year at all.

    Way less violent than episodes 1-3. It was pretty much the same level of violence as episode 4, imo. There are two slightly intense scenes, but not knowing them, it is hard to say how they'd handle it. Knowing others that age, these days, I would think you'd be fine.

    This is a great, well written, well thought out, piece. Wow. Nice work. I do think the roster has more talent. I do not agree that will necessarily mean more wins.
  11. Mike Sixel
    If they don't expect to win the WS, or be serious competitors for it (which their moves so far do not imply they do think they are, imo), isn't this year kind of irrelevant, and shouldn't May be where he belongs? If they do think they are serious WS contenders, shouldn't they be doing more to improve the team?

    I love the BS myth that Obama is not doing anything about ISIL and terrorism. By this logic, every single world leader is not right now......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm....I do think Ryan is less conservative. Gambler to conservative isn't a switch, it's a scale. I think it would be hard to argue he hasn't moved on the scale.

    Right, Mr. Beer is the starter kit, to see if you like it......if you do, you'll quickly outgrow Mr. Beer. I used to brew a lot back in the day, you can really make great beer. Mr. Beer should not be frustrating at all. If she didn't get you a particular recipe.....start with a brown ale. Easiest to make and have turn out. 100%, if you are interested, go to a local homebrew place and just see if you click with one of the employees and can pick their brain. I really enjoyed brewing beer with friends, and seeing what we came up with. It is a good, easy, communal project. #1 priority is to follow all sanitizing steps/instructions. You must have clean equipment. Number 2 is to use non-chlorinated water. If your city water is pretty treated, or you use bottled water, make sure you use water that has not been treated much.

    Agree with Brock. It is very good. And, he did do a good job of making us care about the new characters, unlike, say, the last Indiana Jones.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I endorse this statement.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Looks like I touched a nerve. All I'm trying to say is I feel like a guy like Koskie who moved here and stayed her and is involved here seems more like the kind of guy people should root for if they care about stuff like that.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I prefer to think of those that move here as true Minnesotans.....ymmv. Plenty of other Twins, not born here, moved here. Which ones should we root for more, if we actually care about that kind of stuff? I don't get why people feel any need to care where a dude was born, but clearly some people do. So, why care more about where someone is born, than where they choose to live and who they choose to be?
  19. Mike Sixel
    so the solution is to visit Austin......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Maybe we should consider a bottle exchange some day. I'll think about that....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Not much room left in AAA for Buxton.......or ABW or Kepler with all these guys. edit: I've always been on the "give the youth a chance" bandwagon. Hell, I may as well be one of the horses pulling it. If any of these three is in AA next year, to make room for the above players......well, I don't know what, but something bad will happen.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I love this post in all it's glory.

    [Mauer]'s probably the most hated athlete in the Twin Cities. Not even close.

    Jeebus. I can't do that.
