    It was a great, thoughtful, post. No one was offended that you came here and were so thoughtful, imo. I think that the atheists posting here are the tolerant kind, that respect others' opinions and thoughts if they are respectful in turn. Thanks for posting, I think it increased all of our understanding.

    Yes, I love the Foundation books, the rest ..... I think stiff is a good word actually.
  3. Mike Sixel
    There is no reason not to call up Meyer. He's on the 40 man, and has been optioned already this year. Zero downside.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I am also listening to the BBC radio adaptation of the foundation by Asimov.....classic 70s production
  5. Mike Sixel
    All good points, especially that last sentence!
  6. Mike Sixel
    Congrats!
  7. Mike Sixel
    There was discussion they might call him up a month ago, so it isn't JUST that they are a dumpster fire right now...... Gardy should be their manager next year.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I don't agree with this opinion at all. It makes winning the division WAAAAAAY more valuable than making the WC. That said, if they went to a 3 game series, I'd be good with that.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Huh, how did I miss the National Park thing? National Parks are kind of my thing.......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Where did I say change the draft strategy.....I said you might care if one is here next year and the next year and the next year as much or more than you care about a year where you might be dead, or Sano might be hurt, or whatever.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It's actually National banana split day, and national whiskey sour day. Apparently some teenager decided what today was...... or, you could consider this day: http://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-kiss-and-make-up-day-august-25/ apparently those are all "unofficial" days, so, you know, celebrate how you want.

    windows 95 day......wow. I know people like to mock MSFT.....but that company did a lot to make the world what it is. Oh, btw, Vanimal.....how did you get such a cool handle?
  13. Mike Sixel
    You might care if Sano and Buxton aren't here when Gordon is in his prime........there is more certainty in the present than the distant future, as you know.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Brock is technically correct, but not sure the distinction really matters......Mauer can't be traded w/o his approval, which he will not give unless someone offers him millions and millions more. I believe, in effect, that this money should be considered sunk.......but it really isn't about the damn money, it is about the roster spot......
  15. Mike Sixel
    86 or 87, I think. Someone will play over their current pace. I don't know who it will be, but the Rangers schedule looks favorable to them.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    One of the more ironic posts of the internet....
  17. Mike Sixel
    After Berrios for next year, agreed. His debut as a RP is not happening this year for sure.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Worrying about service time with a pitcher? Ugh. Worrying about service time when you are in a playoff chase? Ugh. Worrying about him relieving and not starting for a few weeks time? Ugh, lots of teams do it, it isn't some novel idea.
  19. Mike Sixel
    ah, thanks, I thought I read that they had moved him.......either way, I'm not a believer in him as a SS, not having seen him play obviously I can only go off reports. Also pretty sure he's not as good as Dozier (for at least a couple years, at least), so I'd hate for them to move Dozier and put him in there.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm done arguing over this year, that ship has sailed. Next year? He should, imo, be in the rotation. He is a better pitcher, imo, than several other options. If that is true.....move those players to the bullpen.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I believe in culture and chemistry, but I'm curious....which players do you think would play worse if Hunter wasn't here? And, if a guy can help, let's say, 4 players be 10% better, wouldn't that player be worth tens of millions of dollars a year?
  22. Mike Sixel
    If anyone wonders who is more valuable.....check out what they are paid......

    This was on sale on Play Books, quite political. KLAW reviewed it on The Dish if you want more information. As you may know, he devours books and reviews them. I have never read the Lathe of Heaven, but the movie entertained me as a youth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin I am currently going back to a Glen Cook collection from his first works.....read book one a couple months ago.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I mostly read fantasy books. But I just finished the dispossessed by Le Guin. Old school political book disguised as sci fi. I sold most of my books in preparation for moving, and read mostly ebooks now. I have about thirty unread paper books left to read.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I think Berrios should be up and in the pen. If you have a shot, take it. There is research on line showing the twenty percent thing isn't true. Kepler, I would like up, but don't think it likely.
