There is a baking contest here at work, unfortunately the stuff goes on sale while I am in a meeting I can't just leave.....really would like to surprise my wife with chocolate, but I am going out after work, and I tend to forget errands when that happens.....
-
Winner.
-
What a great idea! Pure. Genius, really.
-
BTW, today is national chocolate day....you know what to do.
-
so, shut down the board because it is all silliness? I'm not sure I understand this post even 1 tiny bit, frankly.
-
that's how I took it....a trend is developing to "restrict" the pool in new ways, a trend that makes it even more unlikely that minorities will be hired. NOT because they can't get into "elite" schools, but because compared to baseball, they are under represented there.

From what I read, no one was sad when Fox had to go to the alternate feed and give us good announcers.... I went to bed at 10:30.....but I saw a bit,

It's their job to be right about moves, not ours. I don't think for 1 minute we should expect us to be as smart as, or held "accountable" for our views as much, as they should be. They traded a starting CF for a super tall (those kind are almost non-existent in MLB) starting pitching prospect. If they are wrong about it more than they are right, you end up with the pitching staff they have had for the past 5-10 years, and a pitching staff this year that was planned to be 80% guys signed as FAs. So, commenting on their ability to add pitching seems like a reasonable exercise to me, YMMV, of course.

Seth, pretty much everyone I've read or heard from this am said that it was a gut wrenching press conference. I'm almost glad I was in a meeting.....but I might still listen later. As you said, it's good to recall we are all people.

Get To Know: Infielder Travis Blankenhorn
Mike Sixel replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Thanks for doing the interview, both of you! -
I think Davis is over rated on these boards......but I know I'm in the minority on that.
-
Who EVER says give up? Why do people keep saying that kind of thing? Age doesn't matter? So if he was 30 and not in the majors, that wouldn't indicate anything? Don't buy it.
-
Man, that sucks for him. I hope he can get his health under control. Good luck to him.
-
I know more KC fans (like 3-0), so I guess I'm pulling for NY so I don't have to listen to them and read their overly happy FB posts......or maybe I want that. I guess I don't care, just want good games.
-
Still looking for anyone in this thread saying he should not be allowed to voice his opinion, or to play baseball......I don't see it. I see some people rooting for him, and saying we shouldn't think at all about what an entertainer does "off screen" at all. I see others questioning that. I see some willing to admit to conflicting feelings, and others feeling there is only some kind of bizarre world of black and white (on both sides). But I don't see anyone saying he shouldn't be allowed to voice his opinion, or to have a job.
-
I also didn't say don't create uncertainty. I said keeping him reduces uncertainty, I don't recall saying the should do that. I think if you can get a catcher, or soon to the majors catcher, you take the chance. But, they need to pick better than they did with Alex Meyer.....

Robinson, Thompson, Fryer Outrighted

nick loves him some youth* *man, that could be taken out of context! -
Given what you read "off the record", I'm not sure most Latins that don't know him agree that it was a benign statement.

Great post, John. My grandmother was a horrible racist, and that did effect my relationship with her. I have plenty of ex friends that are racists. I don't see why I should just ignore Torii using his profile to campaign against a group of people, and to disparage certain members of his race. I'm 51, I wonder how Torii feels about older people that hate black people, does he just excuse them as being old and it doesn't really matter because supposedly less young people feel that way? I doubt it. No one (I don't think) is saying that his views on this fully define him as a person. What I can say I am saying is, that his position as an entertainer doesn't fully define him as a person. What many sports fans seem to think, imo, is that it does. That we should blindly root for players on "our" team, no matter what they think or do. I don't share that belief, and I don't understand those that do hold that belief.

thanks, I rarely look at the minor league numbers there for some reason. Good reminder. And, 7% worse, from a potentially elite defensive SS? Sign me up.* *not saying he'll do that in the majors, btw....

I don't solely judge teams on winning the WS, the WS is about entertainment, not the best team. I view what the Jays did this year (and in signing a great FA catcher for "peanuts") as great moves. Can't wait to read next year how it wasn't the year to go for it, but the following year will be.....never read that before.....
-
I'm pretty sure there are some people on Twitter I follow that say he'll be number 1 for sexy managers going forward.....
-
search FG, but I don't think so.....BA might have something, but I don't pay for that. I have also wondered that.
-
By the way, if those are the numbers, I like Vielma much more than I thought. Context is important.
-
I predict much excitement, with 2 blow outs, but 4 other really good games.
