    How do they not deserve to be in? Remember all those years the AL East 2nd and 3rd place teams won more games than the AL West and AL Central division winner? Was that "fair" to them? Frankly, all 30 teams should be in the 2nd season, imo. With lots of byes and short series to start. That would be exciting and entertaining for EVERY market.

    My favorite line, John: (And realistically, it was the closest they had been since the decision to start a guy who hadn't thrown a pitch in a game since August 9th.) If only Berrios was allowed to play.....and Duffey's innings limit? Ugh. But, I guess expecting the Twins to realize that the myth of innings limits is true is expecting too much. that said, at some point, Hughes has to come back into the rotation, doesn't he? Let's see.... Milone, Pelfrey, Gibson, Duffey are all available for the playoffs, and Santana can pitch in the regular season. Nope, Hughes could (should?) move to the bullpen. That would probably make them a better team this year, given where Hughes is health wise, imo.

    How does it cheapen the game, and ruin the integrity? It is entertainment, there is no "integrity" of the game when it comes to saying who is the best. Really, the playoffs as a whole are a silly way to crown a champion. There is no way to agree on what the "best" team is. There are hundreds of articles on line about figuring out the "best" at something, in sports, in chess, in pinewood derbies. Is it the team that does the best game after game? The team that is the "best" in some kind of playoff where only some of the teams get to play? The team that finished with a better record than a division winner, but is excluded because their division had an even better team? Really, if you have some kind of belief that there is a "best" team.....that probably isn't a real thing. edit: as for the current playoffs, I like the 1 game deal. It gives some more good teams a chance, but makes winning a division more valuable than being the 2nd or 3rd best team in a division.

    We can't talk position because what? And are those MLB numbers compared to AA numbers?
  5. Mike Sixel
    that's the real goal, getting less people to vote. And yet, they want to send people over seas to "die for democracy". What a sad, sad lot.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yes, we never think of the downside......really. If Tulo is better next year, which is somewhat likely given their history, will everyone come here and point out, over and over, how he's better?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Dreamer.......

    voter fraud, the UFO of elections......it just isn't real enough to suffer the consequences of disenfranchising so many voters. Everyone should be registered the moment they turn 18, everyone should have the right to vote.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe we are now comparing the offensive output of 1B with outfielders (one of whom can play CF)........ He should be compared to other 1B to understand his relative value.

    Logistically, it would be a nightmare to have a House much larger. Entertainment wise, it would be awesome to have 2500 members.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    The one place where the salary matters......he is almost uncuttable, and untradeable (if he'd even approve a trade).
  12. Mike Sixel
    do we know this, nick? Is it really the shift, or is he just not as good? If it is the shift, there really isn't hope for better, is there?
  13. Mike Sixel
    good question.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Except he is a human being.....not someone that should be treated like a robot.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It completely eliminates the one person, one vote concept. Every vote should be cast for the person running, not for some electoral person. If 100% of the people in MN love a candidate, why is that worth less than 51% of people in another state liking the other candidate. It is anti democracy imo. Also, there should be national standards enforced on the states for national elections, election law and process should be consistent for national elections. You want to discriminate for local elections, your choice. But not national elections.

    We were ready, the Vikings were not.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I tend to agree with this.......
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm just glad they figured it out eventually, and hope they give him the job he's earned next spring also.
  19. Mike Sixel
    don't care about the money, only care how he plays compared to other 1B....because that's the position he plays. He's had a nice run, hopefully he can play better and better this year and next.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Kepler is the correct choice, imo. Great, great season by him. that does not discount anyone else's season, btw, many of them had good to great seasons.

    I can get behind no term limits, I mostly thru that out there because I think it does solve some problems.....putting that aside, I would make these changes: eliminate the electoral college, best person wins w/o worrying about empowering only a few up for grab states make Representatives terms 4 years, and have half elected every 2 years, limit of 3 terms, reduce the number to, say, 350, with at least 2 per state. eliminate the requirement that any one type of legislation must start in one house or the other (other than political appointees). Require all political appointees by the president to be voted on w/in 30 days of that appointment, by law, if no vote happens, they are in Make the presidential term 6 years, limit of 2 terms rank choice voting (or instant run off, or whatever you want to call it) for all elections. all donations to all campaigns or political organizations disclosed publicly
  22. Mike Sixel
    At least they won.
  23. Mike Sixel
    It is amazing, really.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Very true, I forgot about that.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    both would be a good plan, imo.
