    Does anyone really think the will get closer to that? Look at the free agent list....
  2. Mike Sixel
    And Poland? Hungary? Maybe Italy? England where they voted to pull out of the European Union? Where do you see democracy making headway right now? I admit it, I'm pretty down right now.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    That link!

    I'll also add that I never actually said rural voters were racist. I said the GoP speaks that way, and that rural voters aren't big on societal change. Just look at Steve King....

    Starters can be hitters.... Not pitchers. I think they can find a DH and ok catcher for that price. Maybe two relief pitchers. But if they sign Escobar for that much, how many more players will they sign that matter? One? Maybe?
  6. Mike Sixel
    It's really hard to win a game, where one side plays by the rules, and the other does not. At some point, you need to realize the rules have changed. Or keep losing.

    I literally posted it was my experience with rural voters I know, but that I was asking to be educated if the other poster had other experiences..... I'll ask you, what message gets over the identity politics that the GoP uses? Denying that identity politics exist doesn't help either....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ditto. I had hoped this new front office would be different, but they seem to be all about efficiency. That's important, but so is striking.
  9. Mike Sixel
    That all sounds good. I doubt it is enough to over come identity politics, but it might be enough to make a dent. But that all sounds good.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Didn't it say 1210 Central? Are we only an hour apart now? Did I miss another change our government made?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Yup. Their front office seems to be right a lot. And they're not taking half steps.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not all of us wondered that. I spent years working with the GoP, I know their plan is a long game. I do think, over generations, things improve. But Turkey has made me wonder if history is right, and tyranny is harder to defeat than I thought. There are literally people in power in Italy that want to rebuild the axis.... Egypt and Turkey are lost as democracies. Fear is an easier sell than hope, apparently.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Perhaps I wasn't clear, that's how the GoP speaks.... What should Democrats say to independent rural voters to sway them? What's this message that will suddenly reverse decades of voting patterns? The world changed. Ime rural voters aren't big on change. Maybe it's the ones I know.... But that's my experience. I'm literally asking you to educate me here, if your experience is different.
  14. Mike Sixel
    They are out of playoff contention already. No way I pay him seventeen million per year. You can buy one or two starters for that. You get half way to Machado for that.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not sure your point. You want Democrats to be racist, homophobic and anti Muslim, which is how the GoP talks? What could Democrats say at this point that independent rural voters want to hear? My rural family cares about the culture war.... As do their friends.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Milwaukee or Atlanta or Philly or the Yankees..... Or not traded.... Those are my guesses.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Ignoring that the Republicans also run people from cities without rural cred.... I'm not sure that's the problem.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Years of education cuts, years of communication, wanting equal rights for people that didn't look like them... They voted for Democrats when the world was about white, straight, Christians. The world changed, rural voters didn't want change. How's that on Democrats? And yes, the Constitution literally gives them more power than city dwellers, at most state levels also. That's not woe is me, it's a fact.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Tell that to the people of Turkey. Honest question, thirty percent of the US loves this. Why do you want to stay married to them? Why is this make up of land mass so important? What's your answer? The way the Constitution is set up literally provides less populated, rural, right wing, voters an advantage in the Senate and presidency. The deck is literally stacked against us.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Rallying around Obama got us here. How did that work out?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Thity years from now, when no on has rights, there is no clean water, LGBT are in jail, and corporations do whatever they want with employees, our kids will be able to say we played by rules written hundreds of years ago, to ensure decorum in the Senate. Yes, this is probably an exaggeration.
  22. Mike Sixel
    He's a free agent, why not trade him? You can sign him in the off season
  23. Mike Sixel
    What time does the game start? Does it matter if the twins hitters are as confused about that as I am?
  24. Mike Sixel
    It could be that, sure. But thirty percent of the nation literally doesn't care about honesty, or other people, and wants to take away freedoms for non white, non Christian, non straight people. And they are willing to ignore Russian influence, graft, and the end of environmentalism and workers rights to do so. What the answer? Just let them keep doing it?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Yes. Yes. Yes. This year is, sadly, irrelevant again. Nunez brought Mejia. Do that again.
