    I'd 100% want prospects back, the Twins need to rebuild. That said, most of the prospects he listed are in AA or AAA or have some MLB time already, this isn't a bunch of rookie ball guys....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Well, he has tweeted for years that the Twins were "in on" every Cuban.....IMO, and this is me not knowing anything other than what I read, he's a mouthpiece for the Twins.

    we won't know how well they are playing it until he is traded or not.... I can't see how anyone can take what Doogie says seriously, as anything other than a PR piece for the Twins. Still waiting for all his "the Twins are in on X" to come true 1 time....

    Started Westworld.... Was hooked right away. Four episodes in...
  5. Mike Sixel
    Isn't Doogie the one always saying they are in on Cubans? Ha.
  6. Mike Sixel
    That was stupid....for a bad team especially.

    I like it, not sure I love it. I'd like to try Small World, great reviews on line. Oh, and Rocksmith, once I get the PS3 back....since I SUCK at guitar....

    I didn't know enough about Meyer and the history of tall pitchers to get that one correct, nor do I recall what I thought then. I think, not sure, but I think I liked the Revere trade, except for the fact they had already dealt Span. frankly, had they just kept May as a starter, I think I'd like that trade still.

    I still want clarity...are you suggesting they can expel them for this action, just not label them sexual offenders? And, I lean toward your position, in the abstract, of working outside the courts. I am. But, and this is important, kicking someone out of college should be up to the college, not the courts. So, yes, those "tribunals" will always exist.

    How can that be? We have been TERRIBLE for 5 of the last 6 years...the farm should be STACKED by now.....(btw, Sano, Polanco, and Kepler were all in the farm before that....).

    I don't agree the Sox are more than a year or two away.... Quintana has 5 years of team control left, IIRC. He's still a long term asset (if he stays good), not some short term player. They seem to have some kind of magic with SPs, and if they can just get rid of the black holes in the field, they should be good. Their stars and scrubs strategy didn't work. I do agree they should have traded their closer for a legit hitter.... The rest? Seems about right, other than if you keep Dozier, you don't exactly speed up the incredibly slow rebuild (we are on 6 years of being bad now, other than 15...).

    I think my wife's winning percentage vs me in Cribbage is around 95%. Doesn't matter what happens, she counts it out first by a point or two, no matter what I do.

    7 Wonders (my favorite, because I never use the same strategy) Dungeons and Dragons (need a new group now that I've moved) Settlers of Catan Carcassonne (mostly vs the AI, great app) Jaipur (great 2 person game) Ticket to Ride (only vs the AI, great app) Splendor (only vs the AI, another great app) Keith Law has a great, great, list of his top 100 games (he reviews them for Paste). He also has a list of this top 2 person games, and a link to apps.....

    Why are the Twins' behind the Cubs and Astros? Part of the reason is that those teams traded their veterans for prospects. The Twins traded Span and Revere, and got nothing for Span (ugh, jeebus) and a big fat question mark for Revere. Not trading Dozier is going to slow down the rebuild, AWFUL teams that have lost 90+ games 5 of the last 6 years need to trade older veterans for prospects. That's how rebuilds speed up. At this point, the White Sox look like they may have passed the twins in the rebuild....

    They are doing all that, it clearly isn't working. What's your next plan? I agree, punishing others doesn't deter people. I would hope that isn't the point here, I would hope they are, you know, punishing people because they did something wrong....
  16. Mike Sixel
    That is such a pedantic argument.....so, fire them is ok, just don't call them names? The effect is still the same. You seem ok with them expelling the students, you just want them labeled differently? Is that where we are?
  17. Mike Sixel
    By this logic, civil law suits over criminal acts are wrong also?
  18. Mike Sixel
    So, Levi, you argue against action over and over on threads like this. What is your answer to forty percent of our sisters being raped? Because your answer in every thread like this is do nothing.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Of course, w/o Dozier playing today, they also have no hits....
  20. Mike Sixel
    You hippies and your rock and roll lyrics....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Back to the team....I thought we were promised no more issues with this coaching staff.... So, they aren't good, and they have player issues....hmmm....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I tried to say that, but you said it better.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Good points. I imagine I will be frustrated if we basically lost a year last year, and we have to wait another 12 months beyond the expected time to see these guys (not to mention, hundreds more pitches on their arms wasted in the minors). Will make me sad if true. Also, a MAJOR indictment of the previous regime, imo.....

    We live close to a Max station, but man, that would take A LONG time to get to SE.....I was supposed to have a new AWD SUV this week, but for some reason I don't. We plan to snow shoe and hike in the mountains (and ski), so AWD seems like it might be a good idea.....but again, the bigger issue, imo, is that people have rear wheel drive, older tires, bad cars for winter, and don't know how to drive (and the hills and ice).

    Stanford just cut the band, for exactly these disciplinary reasons. They still teach music, though.....because it is an education system.
