    And that's the answer. Not that difficult.

    If you drive West from LA on I-10 it will not be an easy road trip.
  3. USAFChief
    I can't find it, but I'm almost certain the first game was the makeup game.
  4. USAFChief
    ftfy

    Just stopped by to say I appreciate the spirited, but reasoned and courteous discussion. TD is a good place. Those of you who disagree are still wrong, of course, but wrong in a thoughtful manner.

    Technically, wiping your face with your sleeve isn't "spilling." Just sayin'

    At this point, I like Dozier to lead the team in HRs. I don't think Sano is back in 10 days. Hope I'm wrong.
  8. USAFChief
    Yes. Oh yes.

    Just checking in after leaving a bowling league meeting. How we doin?
  10. USAFChief
    I think Hosken meant we might see Gee, Gibson, and Slegers before this day is over.
  11. USAFChief
    No room for Verlander.
  12. USAFChief
    He's taking on water.

    It's not going to take Gordon. As far as Gonsalves, I wouldn't even bat an eye. Or, just keep running out the Melvilles of the world and hope. And the bolded part is simply wrong. As noted above, there are $20M-ish in just pitching salaries coming off the books next year. So payroll hasn't jumped (which it could, BTW), and you're already not bringing back the same team.
  14. USAFChief
    I don't see Melville going deep in this game.
  15. USAFChief
    in play, run(s) please
  16. USAFChief
    I much prefer 9-0 leads after 1.
  17. USAFChief
    Adjust your snark meter. He's not throwing 95 MPH curveballs.
  18. USAFChief
    Gameday has Sanchez flying out on a 95.9 MPH curveball. Seems like Melville should be harder to hit with that kind of stuff.
  19. USAFChief
    Loves me some Herb Alpert. "The Lonely Bull." Teh awesome.
  20. USAFChief
    It seems to me many of the same arguments being used against trading for Verlander were used to argue against trading for Cole Hamels. And the Twins would be lucky to have Hamels right now. One of the things I think the Twins HAVE to do is stop operating like they can't spend money. They certainly can, all they need to do, is do it.
  21. USAFChief
    name(s), please.
  22. USAFChief
    If you take on the entire salary commitment it won't be this expensive in terms of prospects. And that's the whole point.
  23. USAFChief
    Purchasing a similar level talent will require somewhere around triple the money. This ownership group simply isn't going to do that. You've argued at length yourself that it simply isn't going to happen. I also would much rather spend that kind of money on 2-3 years than 6-7. Plus, the point is, Verlander hasn't declined a lot, and there's no reason to expect him to in the next couple years.

    http://www.espn.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/82052/verlanders-domination-of-the-dodgers-looked-like-an-astros-audition Best possible combination of help in 2017 and help in the next couple years, right where the Twins need it, at a reasonable cost and not for the 6-7 years it'll take to get a similar pitcher over the winter. Verlander isn't quite what he was, but he's still very good.
