  1. really? Cool. I'll have to check it out next time I am there. to me, nearly every time I am there, there are almost no people there. It isn't a destination. It isn't interactive. Even art that has been there 15+ years, that is big enough to climb on, discourages kids from doing so. There are vast open spaces, that are roped off at time (always?). It's always been less than it could be, imo. Like Buxton so far, all the hype, none of the results, but always hope it can be better.
  2. Interesting. thanks, that might be why the art NEVER changes and is stale.
  3. While I generally agree, there can be life changing crusts. I think Detroit style is my favorite pizza.... http://www.seriouseats.com/2017/02/how-to-make-detroit-style-pizza.html
  4. That's quite literally not as interesting as having it right by Target Center, where they had a huge open area, and built one of the worst set of buildings ever, that didn't even allow you to flow thru them.....inside of them you had to go outside to get from one part to the other. The sculpture garden also is not a public space, it is a private space. Minneapolis aims low. Frankly, the art hasn't changed in years, and most of it is not interactive. It's stale.
  5. Davanni's? that's going to cost you some XP....
  6. that weight seems more realistic. I wish Mpls thought big like this, we should have a really cool park where a bunch of empty, crappy, building sit in downtown.....
  7. Three games. Against a terrible pitching staff. You might be right, but let's not JUMP to conclusions.
  8. Pizza Luce is the single most over rated thing in MN. IMO, of course...
  9. As for locking up STARS..... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-possible-extinction-of-the-early-career-superstar-extension/ Now, as pointed out, some of these players are Boras clients, and we "know" NYY and LAD will be pursuing Harper/Machado.... Also, I don't think Buxton is a STAR, at least not that you can predict right now. He could maybe be had, but I doubt Sano signs an extension any time soon.
  10. It was nice to "see" on gameday. I really like the quote about Sano, I always felt the previous regime was publicly questioning some players, rather than publicly encouraging some players.
  11. KLAW talked about Jay for some length today. Mostly he is surprised that the new leadership didn't see him in person some before deciding, and in general that it happened so quickly. Not ripping them, just surprised.
  12. I like bunching his best OBP guys up. I don't have an issue putting Buxton in the three spot, and challenging him. At some point, Byron hits, or this team is "meh" anyway. You can have a strategy, and go slightly off it, and still have a plan. It may also be a sign, though I'd be surprised, that Paul is thinking long term and not just this year.
  13. Doug's family lives in Florida, iirc. He wanted to be there.
  14. Santana won't have value, but he'll be a quality starter? If he's a quality starter, he'll have value at the deadline. As Brian Cashmen said, you gotta rebuild at some point, and trade off guys to build a sustainable team....
  15. It appears they return every hour or so, based on when used. That's my unscientific analysis of my ability to like slowly returning today. I feel like my super powers are finally back!
  16. Almost identical to me, good luck with that...
  17. right, which is why I won't for a while. Too many unknowns right now. Just enjoying a win, and a good game thread.
  18. Nicely played, sir or madam, nicely played.
  19. tough call at that point. I wonder what my lines would be on that....how close before I don't trade ... though I believe it would depend on how I got there. Let's hope we actually have to discuss if they should deal for help, and not just deal to get more future...
  20. MVP: hmmmm.....Dozier, but I think he might get traded, hmmmm....Sano it is. Pitcher: ESan, though I am nearly sure he's traded, so Mejia it is. RP: Belisle or Breslow (seriously, one of these two will be good and not traded) Rookie: Mejia
  21. I like it when the Twins win. I like ESan, still amazes me we didn't hear more about teams wanting to trade for him. Not a huge fan of the lack of hitting, but Duffy is a great pitcher, and you don't swing at bad pitches and get good results, so scoring all the runs that way is still good, if not indicative of what I hope we see.
  22. Today I'm getting wedding ring ads. Look, my anniversary is next month, but there is no way I'm buying more jewelry. No way.
