    Source? The July congressional hearings identified three emails, with portions of two (possibly improperly) marked as Confidential, and one marked Confidential. None of the three were properly marked (as you know, a classified email should have been marked with the proper overall classification, top and bottom. None of the three originated from an email system designed to process classified information. If, as you claim, this was the "largest classified data spill in the history of this country" don't you think the multiple Republican led congressional hearings would have had a different outcome?

    I have also done a lot of federal work. More than you, I'd wager. And IMO your "cut 20 percent of the bums and nobody would notice" theory is horse****.

    Dude, this is a baseball site. Kate Upton is dating Justin Verlander, not the other way around.

    Sources have him as a Trump voter.

    It's Minnesota. All the children are above average.

    If Mike Trout never played another game, he'd have a case for the HOF. He's led the league at least once in each of the following categories: Runs, RBI, SB, BB, OBP, and SLG. That's a pretty impressive mix of power, speed, and discipline. His lowest OPS over his five full seasons is .939.

    Castro's 2016 major league OPS (.684) was over 70 points higher than Murphy's AAA OPS (.609). I don't think it's a given Murphy will even be the Twins backup catcher in 2017.

    SecState is fourth on the succession order, behind the VP, Speaker of the House, and President pro tem of the Senate.

    Gomez makes a lot of sense. If he works out, he's very tradeable at the deadline, if he doesn't, no biggie it's just money. The Twins can use a fourth OFer anyway (and I really, really don't like Grossman), with Gomez taking perhaps every third or fourth day from Rosario, every third or fourth day from Kepler, and even occasionally getting a day in CF for Buxton if necessary. Much if not most of Gomez' playing time can come against LH pitching. That's enough playing time to make Gomez attractive if he performs, without seriously degrading playing time for either Rosario or Kepler. Adjust as necessary as the season progresses.

    Too soon.

    Garrison Keillor's take: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump-voters-will-not-like-what-happens-next/2016/11/09/e346ffc2-a67f-11e6-8fc0-7be8f848c492_story.html

    I guess we'll have to wait 5 years to see if this is accurate. I'm...skeptical. Highly skeptical.

    That story was reported by Jeff Passan, not "the aggregator not to be quoted." MLBTradeRumors simply published Passan's report...and attributed the report to Passan. In fairness to actual persons who do actual reporting, we should all try to do the same.

    I guess the only conclusion I can draw is that they have been unable to recruit a better QB. If MN and NE swap QBs, MN wins that game.
  15. USAFChief
    I used to, but I found a simple fix: I never re-read my own posts.
  16. USAFChief
    Yes...but that's deceptive. I look in the mirror a lot. .. In reality, while I'm proud of my service, it pales in comparison to so many, who have given so much more than me. So I say again, thank you.
  17. USAFChief
    Thank you veterans.
  18. USAFChief
    Why is it hard to find a job where you are free to do something else 4 months per year? Seriously?
  19. USAFChief
    ABW III huh? Interesting...tell me more.
  20. USAFChief
    Or platooned with Murphy. This is one of the things we were hoping for from new management, right? Finding creative ways to get more production? You're going to carry two catchers anyway. Catcher is an obvious place to look for a platoon situation that ups production without costing as much as one player who can do it all. Neither C would get all their ABs against opposite hand pitching, but it's relatively simple to give them that advantage in the bulk of their PAs.

    Just wanted to say thanks to those who have put the time and effort into posting these. You know who you are, and each of you help make this place pretty neat.
  22. USAFChief
    Sort of what I was getting at..only with coherent points, paragraphs and ****
  23. USAFChief
    We'll have to disagree, Mike. I don't know your neighbors, but I don't believe "many of mine" are racists. And I DO live out west.
  24. USAFChief
    Castro. If not, Weiters. This team needs help behind the plate, and I don't think it exists internally.

    I'm bitterly disappointed. But some of you here sound as deranged as the wingnuts who predicted the end of the world 8 years ago. The EPA isn't going away, and frankly might need a recalibration anyway. There will still be national parks. The KKK won't be invited to the White House, and your neighbors didnt suddenly become racists. Focus. The Democratic nominee wasn't strong enough to beat Donald Trump. The Democratic message couldn't make headway on taking back congress. Get to work making the necessary changes to get votes. Start by giving up the idea that Democrats have some birthright to power, and a monopoly on the moral high ground. I made the decision to vote for Clinton, but I hated doing it, and I have a hard time being outraged at those who held their nose and pulled the other lever. Edited to add: in the interests of accuracy of source, it should be noted I've been completely wrong about this election from the start. I'm the dummy who was convinced Trump wouldn't be the R nominee, and was sure of a Clinton win right up until Florida fell.
