    What is the right's answer to gun violence? More privately funded prisons who are incented to keep people in jail? What is their answer? Reducing funding for poor? Reducing education spending? Fighting against laws that say mental health coverage should be mandated? What, exactly, is the right's answer?

    Anyone want to continue arguing that Leidner is a legit QB on a supposedly big time NCAA football team?
  3. Mike Sixel
    so obviously dismissive of something, just because you don't like what it says......or am I wrong here, did you read with an open mind and just conclude that everything that was said was wrong?

    Part time player, maybe. Full time player, no. I don't think that he's part of the future, and it is time for the future, imo. He clearly helped them this year, but at some point, they need to trust the process and the minors. I'd say that time is now.

    A great place to enjoy a much more enjoyable journey. BTW, Twitter is blocked at work, what did KLAW say?

    I am not convinced they need to worry about losing anyone of real value off the 40 man, other than Arcia, and that has nothing to do with having 40 guys, but the fact that he's out of options. There are plenty of guys at the bottom of he 40 man that won't be lost in any kind of draft, not to mention a few that won't be back.

    Let's not forget, supposedly, it is Molitor that loves Danny Santana and basically benched Escobar for half the season. That alone would keep me from voting for him. I think he did a nice job his first year, I don't think he was great.
  8. Mike Sixel
    It usually goes to a manager of a team that people didn't think would do much, or that really turned things around during the year. that leaves MN, TX, HOU, and maybe even NYY. Heck, was TOR picked to do much? I don't see TOR winning, since they have all that talent. Frankly, I don't think it is much of an award.....the Washington manager won it last year or the year before......

    Not worried yet......but there are scouts that question his hit tool (and no, I don't have links, I don't remember where I read everything I've ever read). What is the thinking that "I will let this hittable pitch go by" on the first pitch, for a guy like Buxton? I don't get that thinking.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Hundreds or more years of brain washing and hatred......a more intractable problem even than US guns probably. The sad part, imo, is the response of many "we just don't have enough money to help these children".....as if there isn't more than enough money in the US to help every one of the. If it was just a bunch of adults that hate each other killing themselves, I'd almost just let them.....but that's not what it is.
  11. Mike Sixel
    apparently Trump thinks "ah, this stuff happens" is an acceptable response.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    No one (I don't think) is arguing if it was a good sign or not, on this thread. As for the statement, the topic we are discussing is what Molitor said. That's the topic of the thread. I fail to see how talking about the topic of the thread is a bad thing.......
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't see anyone saying this at all......what people are asking is......how much is it worth? AL MVP amount, or less?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Crime is not all about mental health. To blame this all on mental health ignores poverty, lack of hope, and other root causes. Funny, but in other countries, they don't "just easily get guns". They don't.
  15. Mike Sixel
    for every US citizen killed in the last decade by terrorism, 1000 US citizens have been killed on US soil by guns. That we know of, since this right wing congress passed a law making it illegal for the government to track gun violence......
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think everyone should play by the same rules.......respect and disrespect are about what you do, not if you are older or younger. It is rude to do things, or it is not rude to do things.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I think if the purpose of an item is to kill, it ought to be regulated. I do not generally share that view if the purpose of an items is different than that. I also see how, even though drugs are gettable in other countries, guns are not, and feel that perhaps restrictions would matter. I agree, a lot of this is about poverty and other things. Funny thing, though, I don't know if poverty plays an issue in most mass shootings. Does it?

    First part of the year, when Dozier was hot...winning percentage? Since Sano came up.....winning percentage? Sano added no value for more than half the year, I can't see how he is MVP. It's almost like all those May wins only count for Hunter and his leadership, but not anyone else.

    Kershaw to the pen is probably better than any RP the Dodgers have, doesn't make it a good idea.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It's funny, because the right's answer to almost everything is to criminalize it, or eliminate it......
  21. Mike Sixel
    then we do what, just let the gun worshippers have their way, and live with gun deaths and give up? I'm waiting for one of the right wingers to come in here with an idea.....anyone?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Ya, let's just quit. That's working well. Nothing we do to stop this will be acceptable to those that worship guns like a false idol. I'm not convinced that mass shooters and common street criminals are the same when it comes to access to guns being an issue.
  23. Mike Sixel
    the other option is we keep doing what we've been doing, and throw up our hands and do nothing. That seems to be working well. the right will fight against culture changes, law changes, education changes, anything that threatens the right to shoot someone if they want.
  24. Mike Sixel
    But breaking his wrist is ok?
  25. Mike Sixel
    It works for guns in other countries, it doesn't work for drugs. Maybe it is cultural.....but not trying seems like the worst idea to me.
