    In honor of the relaunch of MTV unplugged, I am streaming the scorpions' performance. Highs and lows for sure....
  2. Mike Sixel
    There seems to be an obsession...
  3. Mike Sixel
    Has Mauer scored from first all year? Didn't this recently happen?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I was entertained.....still not sure why.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Did you see that crazy movie where they were going around the world in a train after we tried to cool the earth, and it worked too well.......what if we all jumped together, and all it did was tilt the axis?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Mauer has been awesome this second half. It would be great if he could keep it going. Congrats to him!

    Latest news on the fires out here.....they might need to drop fire retardant in the area that supplies Portland's drinking water. good thing I have three cases of wine...

    I think it was more in between deep dish and regular crust, but it was tasty! I even ate meat....
  9. Mike Sixel
    agreed.
  10. Mike Sixel
    because I know it is controversial to call it pizza, I'm eating a deep dish pizza for lunch. From a food truck. And yes, deep dish is pizza.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I hope you are right! I certainly would expect it to be higher going forward....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. So, if we think that's what he'd get, would you sign him for 4-5 more years?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Except people are saying to extend Mauer also....
  14. Mike Sixel
    You'd pay Dozier around 15MM a year or more? That is going to eat a lot of RP or SP money....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Twins tried to give up an out in a game where no pitchers were succeeding, but TB would have none of it! It's nice to win. Much nicer than not winning.

    There are good ways to share the truth, and not good ways. Souhan, to me, seems to often take a lower road than I would like. He has some great work, he has some work I don't like. Also, the org seems to hide behind these inside stories, rather than just say, in an interview, "we've been working with Sano on his weight, but we're concerned about it," said person X....where PERSON X IS PUBLICLY NAMED...... so, no, it's not about "we can't handle the truth", it's we can't handle feeling manipulated by anonymous sources and their media partners.

    see, now I get it. I'm slow apparently.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Pretty sure that post was talking about hot streaks, not the whole year, but I could be reading it wrong.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Who's lauding and getting excited about Escobar?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Verlander had a pretty good start last night, but Gee / Slegers are just fine....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to them for a good month, but that is one depressing list of guys not likely to start for the Twins for more than a few days here and there...
  22. Mike Sixel
    You asked what I thought....I thought they should be public and own it. Or don't do it. In the grand scheme of things, it is much ado about nothing, other than some players might not like this...
  23. Mike Sixel
    No idea. Probably, I'd guess. But how would I know? But then just say it in public, if in private isn't working, and they think going public will.
  24. Mike Sixel
    They should come out publicly, rather than hide behind a columnist. Or, they should handle it internally. That would be a good start. Also, as Souhan said, he's an opinionist, not a reporter. So, when I read his stuff (rarely anymore), I assume it's his opinion, not reporting. He himself said he's not a reporter. So, what am I to believe, that it's his opinion, or the team's (or some members of the team)? I'm certainly not arguing they shouldn't be concerned, but Souhan is trying to have it both ways, in terms of being a reporter or not. And the team is trying to shame him in the paper (if they weren't trying to publicly shame him, it would handled in private, the only reason you try this path is to get him to feel embarrassed). So, just be honest about your fat shaming (that's a loaded phrase....).
  25. Mike Sixel
    According to him, he's not reporting. He's a columnist, not a reporter. He made that quite clear in his column where he needlessly ripped Perkins....
