    Well, we can't see the process, but we can see the results.....so I am wondering if he is still a good scout or not.
  2. Mike Sixel
    They have been the worst team, or near worst team, in the league for 4-5 years now, they aren't rebuilding?
  3. Mike Sixel
    I would, otherwise they are lying and setting people up to be disappointed. Just admit you are rebuilding, and that your actions are all about putting the best team out there in the mean time, but our goal is to be great in 2 years.....

    I'm not buying anything if trump wins...
  5. Mike Sixel
    If they think they are going to be competitive, and can't just admit they are rebuilding, not sure what has actually changed....so let's hope those are empty words.

    Today is a lesson in emotions, and investing....
  7. Mike Sixel
    If Mauer is on the roster, he should play 1B against nearly all righties....he is a very good defensive player.

    Good thing I didn't sell this am....... have a meeting with my advisor in a bit...
  9. Mike Sixel
    If I didn't have some issues going on, I'd be buying RE or into a private trust right now for sure, even with prices too high....

    No tax on retirement accounts....And even if Clinton wins there could be issues
  11. Mike Sixel
    I would just like to say....this is a very polite reply. Thanks.

    Strongly considering selling every stock in my retirement accounts Monday....at worst I lose a few points of gain. At more worst, I keep from losing twenty it thirty percent next week
  13. Mike Sixel
    I agree with this, that was probably the worst move of the night.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You realize a rookie costs 500K, right?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Several really good articles on Fangraphs about how you can't steal at will on Lester.....

    Yikes, I can't see how FA will fix much: http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2016/11/03/2016-17-top-111-free-agents/

    It will be good to see what happens, it was time for change. It should, at least, lead to some good theater.* *I hope that doesn't sound cold, I know some people will lose jobs in this transition, and that sucks.
  18. Mike Sixel
    great post, and I thought it did come out, but great post.
  19. Mike Sixel
    A one game sample is not 162 games.....the best pitchers pitched the most. That's good managing, not bad managing. Are you suggesting they should have pitched their less good RPs more? I am not sure what you are arguing..... The did trust their players. They trusted the best ones to be good/great. I am not sure I get what you are arguing.

    1991 was good, but I'm not sure it was fun for casual fans at all..... I too thought Francona did a better job than Maddon. Still love them both as managers, and they make Molitor look, well, I'll be polite I guess...
  21. Mike Sixel
    No one has ever said madden is perfect, and doesn't make mistakes. No one. The argument that you can't make mistakes, and still be awesome at your job......that's a BS argument. I was clearly replying to that.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Advantage of the West Coast....sports are over at a decent hour, though even this one went to 10 almost.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Help me out here.....you can have hope of a return, and still have a sunk cost. A sunk cost is money already spent, that cannot be returned or recovered. But, you could still sell that crappy piece of technology you bought, even if just for parts. The concept, in terms of what it really means for decision making isn't really about that.... If people are using "sunk cost" when they should use "prospective cost" or another term.....well, not everyone here is an economics major. But, they are using the concept fairly well. They are saying "just because we are paying Mauer does not mean we should play Mauer". That is so dang close to sunk cost fallacy arguments, in terms of how a business should make rational decisions, that to argue otherwise is pretty darn pedantic. We all know what people are saying when they use that phrase in this context, to argue they aren't using the actual right phrase is not fair to them, their argument, or their intelligence. IMO.
  24. Mike Sixel
    The worst decision in the series was pitching Chapman in game 6, imo. I understand why he did it, I would never have done it.

    Here is a list of people who have said he never makes mistakes:
