We have a Senator from Alabama because the GOP candidate was a ...not sure what word to use....and the timing was PERFECT. Do we really think that is replicable? Also, since we know the GOP is literally stifling the vote, how do we get around that? And, you did say "you"...hence my reply about Alabama. But pretend it isn't about me, but Dems in general because that's more important. The Dems have been trying to "turn out the vote" for decades. It hasn't worked for the most part. It didn't even work in Obama's second run.....and "turn out the vote" isn't very specific. How? Because whatever they've been trying isn't working. Trump might help with that, but we'll see if many state houses, governorships, and the Senate really move soon. I have my doubts.

How....they've been trying that for decades. Like, I'm asking for specifics here......
-
NVIDIA seems like it has really dropped a lot, but that might just be me looking at the wrong times. Basically, for times like this, you should have a list of 15 stocks you really like, and buy more when you want. I'm also going to start investigating marijuana stocks .....but I don't have any idea on those yet.
-
I have no control over Alabama. I'm not whining, I'm asking a question. If thirty percent of the population cares nothing for other people, the environment, etc., what is the answer?
-
There is no realistic way to eliminate fox, and their churches, and schools and parents. What is a realistic way to change their minds some? Not totally, some.
-
Yup. So what's the real alternate, because they are told these things by every authority in their life? Give me an alternative that would work.

A Tale of Two Paths for Twins
Mike Sixel replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
You left off commit to the rebuild as a path.... By trading Gibson and Castro and, um, the other veteran on the roster- 87 replies

A Tale of Two Paths for Twins
Mike Sixel replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Several big spenders didn't last year, so they could this year. They'll pay top dollar for the best players. Will the rest of the players settle, will the rest of the clubs try to go low? That's the league wide intrigue, imo.- 87 replies

It would help if Trout wanted to be public......and if the unwritten rules didn't prevent more of it. I want something between the NBA and MLB. I think the NFL is closer,....

How should the Twins approach their pitching depth
Mike Sixel replied to diehardtwinsfan's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Nothing about Gonsalves' stuff says even average, let alone above average. Something would need to change there. -
Ah, got it.
-
One one side, you have to find 1 run, and the other 5? That doesn't seem like a fair comparison.....People don't trust defensive stats, but they put more value on defense than offense. Seems odd to me.

Probably not....but that's not the point. The question is how best to use those two players. Maybe trading one is the answer, maybe playing them both is the answer......I don't know. But if you think Gordon is destined for 2B, maybe you try Polanco at SS another year.
-
I've thought about this more, and I'd also keep Polanco at SS. It isn't ideal, but none of the alternatives are. I'd look for a short term solution at 2B, unless a great option comes up, and I'd move Gordon to 2B at AAA. And, like Thrylos, I'd be aggressive with Arraez in AA.....if he lights it up, and Gordon isn't, I'd promote him to MN in the 2nd month or so.....
-
I only feel partly bad, since much of this is out of my control, I've learned not to let it "bother" me.....but I do fear for my children and their children, when it comes to jobs and the environment. Both are on an inevitable course of "things literally cannot continue as is". And, I don't think the country ever divides. Maybe a better idea is to add Canada and Puerto Rico, and take over the country by numbers.....as you said. Though no Canadian would ever do that. As for the mid terms. The Dems will take the House, but may lose ground in the Senate. Less than 35% of millenials have indicated they are likely to vote this election.....while 80% of OLD people will. Sigh.
-
Not to mention other 1B also had scoops.....that ability is in the defensive rankings, and there just isn't that much difference between 1B at the MLB level. These guys have been fielding grounders since they were 7 ......or 5.
-
Not really.....they have both Buxton and Kepler, but they need a SS or 2B. So, the question is, which should they pursue? Also, if you think Gordon is really a 2B.....maybe you try Polanco 1 more year at SS. I don't know the right answer on this one, frankly. With Lewis and Gordon a year or two away...things are a bit muddy, unless you are really trying to win next year big time.

Insane. Wow.

Not enough to sign either Cuban worth signing at this point.... https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/scouting-the-mesa-gaston-workout/

When did it last happen in MN? Maybe this FO is different but maybe not.... It's just easier to let him go, and not worry about the roster spot at all. IMO, of course.
-
How does someone beat him out, if they are in the minors, and he's in the majors?
-
POTUS says this is the market correction we've been waiting for......
-
Another thing that people seem to forget, or not think about....had they mistakenly signed Ellsbury like I wanted, I would not have argued for signing the next big FA, because they would have already spent the money.....but when they pass every year, that leave money and roster space for the next guy, so ya, it seems like I want them to sign a guy every year, when what I want is for them to sign a guy.....then we can see (in context) what happens next......
-
I can't speak for anyone else....but my retirement plan money (a real, but not too large percent of my accounts) I play with saw a correction the last two weeks. Like, a real correction...... I sold a LOT of stock recently, because we just agreed to buy a house. Glad I did that before this mini correction (or whatever) started...... I think a ton of stocks I love are on sale right now, but I need all my cash for the house and the remodeling....
