  1. fly? In the sky? ridiculous! Not to mention all those infectious germs in outer space that will kill us.
  2. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/32869-stewart-romero-up-cave-duffey-down/
  3. I don't have a link handy, it's not like I keep links to every possible question someone asks lying around....
  4. How is that compared to what you expect Stewart or Mejia to do? The only two I wanted were the two best so far. And, neither Stewart or Mejia is a starter in the majors this year, so yes, four new starters. People really want to have one veteran starter next year? Berrios?
  5. Studies. Lots of studies. Traffic will flow much, much, better.
  6. Four spots with players not currently pitching in the majors, yes. Berrios and four new players.
  7. It is too bad that a human got hurt. Agreed. I've never claimed every free agent works, just as most minor league players don't. All that financial flexibility means nothing if you won't spend it later, because free agents are too risky. As for the free agents on this roster.... They could have signed some pitching.... And still done what they did.
  8. I attended traffic school last night, to get rid of a speeding ticket... The only good part was this story... If you leave the room you are supposed to, and someone takes the space, you slow down for a second to get the correct space again. Many of us will do that a few times, then tailgate so it doesn't keep happening. But, if you did it sixty times, you'd lose a whole minute.... I like to drive, outside the city. But most of my drives? Yuck. And I could be a lot more productive, or have even more fun, if I did something else with that time. Add in reduced costs to society..... What do goods cost if there are way less accidents.... How much productivity and happiness is cost while waiting for an incident to clear?..... And less deaths and major injuries.... It's going to happen, and people will look back on driving like they do corded phones, and typewriters, and other obsolete things.
  9. Good luck with that next year, which was what the post was about. You think four new pitchers are likely to create a good staff? No great team builds only thru the draft or trades.
  10. Yup. But at some point, the window closes. And they get two starters for one pick....I doubt it very much, but that was, mostly, not the question
  11. The Brewers have been right a lot lately.... We'll see if that continues.
  12. I'm a big softie and teared up.... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/michael-chavis-on-doubling-and-almost-crying-in-his-mlb-debut/
  13. I think NE might do that. Would you do Waynes and Rudolph for NE pick?
  14. 109 times out of 100 opportunities.... And I'm leaving that typo in there!
  15. These moves make sense. I hope they work.
  16. The vast majority of miles driven are for work, or to run an errand not far from your home. Just automating those would be huge. It sure would make bicycling safer.
  17. There was an interesting article, I think in the ringer, that talked about how really smart teams are building around DBs, not pass rushers. At least in terms of money spent. While I hate that Spielman had not used draft capital on OL, at least he's used it on one of the most important positions.
  18. Still no Kirilloff? Or the others? Twins desperately need the pitching to develop this year. Hoping....
  19. I never would have guessed this pitching staff wasn't all that good..... Can't wait for next year when the starters are Berrios and four random guys.
  20. I would love not to drive most of my trips. I wonder how much it will hurt the hotel industry when the car can drive all night?
  21. This thread started with a post that we might see this book in 2018.... We were so naive.
  22. No where in that post did he say anything about other people, and what would be required, or not, of them...... I'm betting it is about 2 generations before driving is something few people in cities do at all.
