  1. Makes me wish I was going to be in LA in two weeks.
  2. Looks like Detroit is playing Twins Baseball against Gibson.
  3. Try this again with something other than a thumbnail pic.
  4. Here's my dogs... The husky/lab got put down last fall
  5. My current dog is a mutt. Beagle/Lab/something. Rescued him at 3 years old. I'll simply say this... dogs can have mental problems too.
  6. I'm not sure what to think about that. I'm also actively seeking new work, so that should tell you something about working there.
  7. Way to Gibby... end that inning with a K. Hay wait a minute, how can you pitch and post here at the same time?
  8. Yeah, I figure if I'm working from home 3 weeks a month, I can essentially do that. I've heard Rottie/Lab mixes end up being pretty good dogs. Don't bark a lot, great with kids, and know what to do when needed.
  9. I already control Chief... he just doesn't know it. I work at the Defense Finance and Accounting Services... One press of a button, and he doesn't get paid.
  10. Great dogs, beautiful as well... way way way too much hair. I'd probably jump on it if I fell into one for free or something like that, but our last dog was a husky lab mix. He's been gone for 9 months and we are still finding his hair everywhere.
  11. Yeah, hidden wells are a pretty big pitfall in my subdivision. I'd like to get a Rottie mix. My current dog doesn't exactly do the intruder alarm thing well. Any intruder with half a brain recognizes the bark that says "I really want to greet that person on the other side of this door".
  12. Yeah, they die when I pick the ticks off the dog too, as they get flushed down the toilet.
  13. I think baseball should allow a 2 out double play where the extra out is counted against the team the following inning... Discuss.
  14. at least someone reads my posts.
  15. If I get this position I'm interviewing for, I'll be getting a second dog.
  16. I don't see the absolute here. You can say the same about a manager then, or a teacher. Yet we all know that there are good managers and bad, good teachers and bad. I'm guessing most of us can give examples of both. I don't think it's true because it doesn't take into account things like personality. Some people teach a certain way. Some people learn a certain way. Sometimes those ways are incompatible. Likewise, some coaches see things that some don't. I don't think it's an accident that baseball people will say that "Don Cooper is one of the best pitching coaches in baseball". I don't think it's an accident when players say that their coach helped them make an adjustment that made them better. It happens. Coaches have influence, and some can see things that others cannot.
  17. I doubt it. The Twins sent 3 all stars on some of their best teams, I doubt they send more than 2... the only consolation might be that since it's in Minnesota, you might see an extra Twin that wouldn't otherwise make it.
  18. I just choose to rarely take them to the vet. My last dog made it till 16 and my current one is 9, so I'm doing something right.
  19. I honestly wonder sometimes why HS guy wouldn't sign if a team threw 500k at him and a college scholarship if his career didn't pan out. I get it if there's a reasonable chance he comes out of college as a first or maybe second rounder, but that's pretty tough to do.
  20. That may be true, but his problem right has more to do with endurance. Are they really going to test him out as a starter in MLB on an 80 pitch count limit? Even if they start to up that a bit, I don't see it happening. I'm guessing he comes up in the pen in September (which I'd argue is a good thing for his development too).
  21. This makes me drool. If he can continue to develop that, we have an ace on our hands.
