    Me, my dad, my oldest son, tonight at 8:30. Only regret is not buying them sooner and getting reserved seats. What time do you think we need to get to Southdale AMC to get three seat together?

    As for the offense.....take out the lucky May sequencing, and it wasn't all that great last year, was it? Or am I recalling that wrong? I think this team has about the same record as last year, probably a game or two worse.

    That has nothing to do with the practice of their religion, really........but yes, they were. It's a hard line to draw, that one. What do you want people to put down in law, that freedom of religion as laid out in the US constitution is the law? Easiest thing to do would be to totally divorce (heh....) religious ceremony and legal marriage. But many states still require religious or judges to preside over a marriage, which is stupid. It stems from the fact we are the only civilized nation with national HC.......except Israel, which requires every citizen to buy a 2 year policy by law.

    IMO, you can get by with one bad OF on defense.......I'm not so worried about Sano out there. I'm worried that Mauer, if he continues to be bad compared to other 1B, will get to keep playing well past when he should. I'm worried that this is part of a larger MO of mediocre veterans blocking even trying out the youth.

    In your opinion, did Hunter help this team last year with leadership? Where is that void filled? Did he help them on the field?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Pesky, pesky facts.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    the bench about half the time would be my preference.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Mauer isn't one of us. the day he was old enough to decide where to live, he moved to FL. He is one of us like a chair is......he was here when he was required to be here by someone else.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't think Mauer should be in the OF......the key point, though, is that they continue to defer to him, and not put Sano at 1B where he should be probably, or maybe.
  10. Mike Sixel
    How is DH better than Sano, from last year? How do we know what will happen in RF? CF? Do we know who is starting there? I do agree, the two catchers this year are likely better than the 2 catchers last year.

    So, you're my mom? Never would have guessed that..... edit: just the part before the ellipses, I don't think she's ever dated a woman
  12. Mike Sixel
    Hope you enjoy that recipe.......but today is Star Wars day (an additional one, on top of May 4th). Everything else is secondary.

    why would any church fear this? NO church has been told to give communion to someone else, or to ordain women, or anything by the government. That's the beauty of freedom of religion......
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'd bet AA isn't mostly guys that have the talent, but aren't ready.....I'd bet it is about half that, at most. Most of those guys don't have the talent to get past AA, I'd guess. Sure there are the elite talents that are in AA and maybe not AAA, but that is a tiny percent.
  15. Mike Sixel
    This is so true, it hurts. Mauer should be a part time player, Sano should be at 1B, Kepler should be in AAA or the majors. All of this is so true.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Assuming that, as many here and the Twins said, Hunter helped them win 4-6 more games with his play and leadership, they look worse, right?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I like WAR as an aide to understanding relative value. I don't like WAR for RP all that much, frankly. edit: That said, your point stands.....if Berrios and Duffey are not in the rotation, the Twins are not fielding the guys most likely to be the best SP.
  18. Mike Sixel
    How long would that take? Maybe you could put up a youtube video. With Hello playing in the background, while wearing a stormtrooper suit.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    My eyes just bled a little.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Those are three elite prospects.....as Seth said, those aren't the guys that get blocked by mediocrity. And, Buxton was up because of injuries, and Kepler wasn't really up, was he? We have no idea why Berrios was not up, instead of May making a spot start. But, again, you are talking about a top 20 prospect....... Guys blocked by mediocrity are the RP and 4th OF and DH and SP types that have upside, but who are not elite. I don't think we are having the same conversation here.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The Sox have Sale....and Abreu.....I think they are deciding they need to win while those two are there. It may be a bad decision, it may not. But I think that is their thinking here. Frankly, none of those prospects are super exciting to me (though they are perfectly adequate prospects who might be good).
  22. Mike Sixel
    Sorry, meant to put that they don't agree with the Frazier is that good part. edit: to be fair, KLAW agrees with you, mostly.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Despite my first post, I like more netting, if it doesn't hinder views.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure most "experts" agree with this assessment.
  25. Mike Sixel
    That last part is so ridiculous......as a libertarian, I hate laws a lot....but the litigious nature of our society, ugh.
