    btw, I've always wondered what the delta was between pot de crème and crème brulee..... And, just searched another site, and it is national banana lovers day.....not banana day, but the day we celebrate those that love bananas? As for burger day, it's not listed on any of the sites, national day, Wikipedia, a few others......it seems to be bogus, I tell you, bogus.

    I guess it is pot de crème day......or just because day, which is a day to celebrate because we should celebrate every day.....so I cheated a bit there....
  3. Mike Sixel
    That was not on any of the three sites I check.......

    Bullpen game, even if that bullpen is Berrios, Milone, Pelfrey, Gibson for 1-2 innings each before the real bullpen. A one game playoff begs for a bullpen approach, or a super quick hook. Third time through the order, nearly every pitcher drops off like a cliff. Second time just a bit......so, bullpen game.

    I think today has no national day?????? So, sweep the Rays day it is.

    Does an ampersand work in a url?

    Funny, I just posted this in the Twins forum.....yes, this was very entertaining. Every last line.
  8. Mike Sixel
    As a 2B? Wasn't that what Kab was responding to?

    Classic sunk cost situation with Graham...."I invested this much, I can't just cut him now" Achter Tonkin One of your other favorites, like Thompson, Wheeler, Darnell Pinto none of them are as valuable to the Twins this year, or as trade bait, as having Berrios in MN and helping them make the playoffs this year.

    I'll still bet Tulo is better over the next 2+ years.....but yes, Esco is showing why almost everyone wanted him at SS a couple months ago.....

    Right. I used to run pinewood derby races....there are all kinds of links on the internet about what "best" really means, and how to judge it.......
  12. Mike Sixel
    First, there is no real "fair" way to do the schedule. Teams change throughout the year, players get hurt, etc........so this concept that there is some "fair" way to judge who is the best team is really hard to pull off. What does best even mean? Isn't the team with the best record after 162 games really the best team, the playoffs really don't reflect that. While a balanced schedule and no divisions probably make things more fair, I'm not sure it increases entertainment, since it reduces rivalries and other things......

    According to actual studies, limits on increasing innings don't have any correlation to injury. It's junk science. Call him up. Between Molitor and Ryan, they can figure out a role for them all. The goal is to have the best people here, giving them the best shot to make the playoffs.

    Cotts is a FA, I believe, after this year. Burdi is never going to be a starter.....

    When our family stopped going to church, we committed to volunteering once a month. You have no idea how hard it is to find non-religious volunteer opportunities for younger children. It was so hard, we almost started a charity to do that.......we did really well for over a year, and volunteered a lot at the food shelf in the summer months, but as a family, it got harder and harder.
  16. Mike Sixel
    BERRIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are they trying to win this year, or not? If so, get your best players here. 2022 be damned.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Really? Huh......
  18. Mike Sixel
    I say bunk on the "don't start a rookie" thing. I just don't buy that Berrios couldn't handle it for sure, that is an awfully factual sounding statement for an opinion.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I wonder if someone got hurt now....would they wait until after Sept 1 or later to put them on the DL to figure out who to add, based on playoff needs?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ya.......ya......probably right....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Berrios should be up now, in the bullpen or rotation. They are legit playoff contenders, that should be the focus right now, not 7 years from now.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Many on line experts that are less "old school" have suggested it best be managed as a bullpen game. I'm not a genius here.......
  23. Mike Sixel
    They certainly didn't give him that shot this year, despite the HYPE and Danny being awful.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Every opportunity for him is probably NOT one for Berrios......I get the depth thing, I do. But if you keep your better player in AAA, just in case of injury, is that really the best idea?
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd call up Berrios (put him in the bullpen or rotation NOW), and do a bullpen game, with Berrios, Peflrey, and maybe Milone told they will get 2-3 innings max, and have them THROW. The one game playoff is built to be a bullpen game. You get time off before the next game, and you don't need all your starters/pen in the playoffs to come anyway. If they had a better bullpen, I'd go straight bullpen game, frankly....... The only change I'd make from this roster is to call up Berrios, and not sure who I'd send down.....
