    Well that sorta makes sense*...since this team isn't a contending team. *work with me here
  2. USAFChief
    I guarantee one thing...there will be fewer bunts.
  3. USAFChief
    Ok, let's just throw this out there and get it out of the way: Sure I'd listen if Dave St Peter called.
  4. USAFChief
    Yes, I can see how the chance to get that type of programing would drive up the price.

    I'll be among the 40- or 50 thousand at tonight's game. Look me up if you want to buy me a beer.

    1. Hawaii – Perhaps the top vacation destination in the world is actually hundreds of islands all connected by water. I don't mean to be obtuse*, but if these hundreds of islands were connected by something other than water, they wouldn't be islands, would they? They'd be...land. *this is an actual, real word. I heard it used in "The Shawshank Redemption." And that guy was really, really smart, so it has to be real.

    The question I'm asking is why the Twins making such a trade--any such trade, not necessarily Hamels--can be accurately described as "unrealistic." They've never done so, and under Ryan, I don't believe they ever will. And that's a huge problem, IMO.

    I think the Twins' biggest single problem is...the idea that a Tulo trade isn't (wasn't) very realistic. Why? Same for a Price or Hamels. Competing for top level free agents. etc etc etc Why? Why can Toronto or Texas pull that off, but it's unrealistic to think the Twins can swim in those waters? I'm not picking on you here, Van, because you're absolutely right...it IS unrealistic. That's the Twins biggest problem, and that's the biggest problem with Terry Ryan. IMO, he dreams small, and worse, he's got most of us thinking that's ok.

    Personally, I'm GLAD TR traded for help last year. That's exactly what he SHOULD have done. "Sequencing," "luck," whatever you want to call it...it doesn't matter. They were solidly in the postseason hunt last July, and stayed there until the last weekend of the season. They needed BP help. Now who they traded for, how much they paid, and if they should have done more are all fair question, IMO. But I would have been supremely angry had TR done nothing. Jeesh... People are seriously advocating "they shouldn't have done anything when they WERE in contention, in the hopes they can maybe do something IF they get into contention in a couple years"? Seriously? That's...the opposite of how it should be done.

    Concur. If players only played when completely healthy, they'd average 40 games per year.

    Bring it home boys, I need my 14 hours of sleep. Still looking for game thread vols for this Sat and Sun. PM me. You know you should.

    By my estimation, if we don't lose till mid-April, we're right back in this thing.
  14. USAFChief
    It's happening?
  15. USAFChief
    Apparently you are mistaken.
  16. USAFChief
    Great call by the umpire. We call them out too often, IMO.
  17. USAFChief
    Personally, I'd rather see him swing 3-0 more often. But, y'know, you'd like to think he could get that one in the air to the right of second base.
  18. USAFChief
    The number changed.
  19. USAFChief
    Mauer swung on 3-0. You don't see that every decade.
  20. USAFChief
    Honest to Pete, I sometimes wonder how you broadcast 150-some games a year and don't mutter "Oh, FFS!" at least once.
  21. USAFChief
    Atta kid, Buxtonzee
  22. USAFChief
    DUDE! You gotta give us a little time to answer!
  23. USAFChief
    We need game thread vols for all three games this weekend. Step right up...
  24. USAFChief
    Give it some Keopectate.
  25. USAFChief
    I try.
