    Sweet, sweet revenge. Had the Bears let the Vikings win the last regular season game, they'd almost certainly be playing next weekend. LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

    Graying hair. Clear sign of alcoholism.

    They're in some sort of establishment that clearly serves alcohol. I'm starting the rumor right now, and thereby getting a jump on the competition... Alcohol abuse issues, for the both of 'em.
  5. USAFChief
    Winner.
  6. USAFChief
    meh.
  7. USAFChief
    I guess I'm skeptical of lifetime security.

    Mrs Chief and I enjoyed “The Mule” this week. I was impressed.
  9. USAFChief
    Uffda.
  10. USAFChief
    His agent has recommended he leave it off.

    UM 59 @ UW 52. Fun with numbers: first time for a FB and Men's BB sweep at Madison in the same school year since 1973. I remember that 1973 sweep vividly. My cell phone just blew up.

    No...I'm going to have to push back here. Whether or not the final authority to sign Sano required approval from above...and I hope it didn't, we're talking about a rather small amount of money in the big scheme of things...the decision to devote a large portion of the international budget to one person was certainly Smith's. And I, for one, do not believe that decision would have been the same under Ryan. The underling's work would have been the same. But not the decision.

    I think what would be weird is if the Twins played Vargas at 2b.
  14. USAFChief
    The article in the STrib mentions that very thing as a possibility, especially in interleague play.
  15. USAFChief
    turns out they lopped you off their 40 man anyway, amiright?

    My guess is Zack Granite's agent sent him this text a few days ago: "TURN OFF YOUR PHONE! And leave it off. I'll be in touch via snail mail."
  17. USAFChief
    I’m not sure I follow the logic...make it cheaper for west coast teams? How does that help the Twins?
  18. USAFChief
    Link?
  19. USAFChief
    not to mention, I care if the Twins get a W, not which pitcher gets a W. One of the things that I hated most as a fan is watching Gardenhire and/or Molitor let a starter cough up a lead because his manager was trying to get him a W.

    1. So you’re complaining about the Pohlads short changing the team, while simultaneously complaining about them spending $14m? 2. Your point seems to be morphing. You dont want them to “waste” $14m now, so that they are better able to waste it later? 3. If the players we bring up from A ball actually DO prove they can play st a high level, they will go somewhere else. We’ll essentially be just a farm team for they Yankees...our minor league development will be done at the big league level, and once that’s done in three or four years, we’ll get two tears of production...same as we have for Cruz, if we want.

    Given the suspension was 2013, with no positive tests since, yes. I think it can be forgotten.

    Consider me in the 59 percent who don’t care what you think. My seat is going back, and staying back.
  23. USAFChief
    Your arguments about rushing minor leaguers, or not rushing them, are opinions, and you are certainly entitled to them. But your argument about saving money for future years is demonstrably false, both through history and through the direct statements of the team itself. They don’t put available payroll in a rainy day account. Either it’s spent this season, or it’s gone.
  24. USAFChief
    I think Romero will be in the pen to start 2019, and I think that is a great plan.
  25. USAFChief
    what possible delay to a rebuild could this signing cause? Whether or not the Twins cam contend in 2019, or should be "rebuilding", this one yr, very tradable contract hurts absolutely nothing. The alternative is money in ownership's pocket.
