    The Twins may not hit 100 losses, but they have to win at least 24 out of their final 37 games to avoid losing at least 90 games. I don't like the odds of the Twins avoiding at least another 90 loss season.

    But certainly with the top notch farm system Ryan built, we have all the prospects we need :-)

    No Canadian Bacon? Or is that what you meant by bacon? :-)

    Being disappointed if Buxton turns out like Willie Wilson or Coco Crisp is nowhere near calling him a bust.

    Here's Wilson's career line: .285/.326/.376 wRC+ of 94 (career fWAR of 37.8). He's like the Coco Crisp of his time .266/.327/.403 wRC+ of 97 (career fWAR of 30). Same type of player, just Wilson was healthier in his prime. Anybody want Buxton to be the next Coco Crisp? Coco was a good player, but he was a supporting player. Wilson had 6 seasons where he was over 100 wRC+ (same as Coco). He never broke 120 in wRC+ (same as Coco). He finished with 37.8 fWAR in 16 mostly full seasons ('78-93). For a 4 year span he was a great defender, the rest of the time a good one. Two All Star games (both as a reserve). A gold glove, two silver sluggers and a batting title. All that adds up to a good supporting type player. A clear starting caliber player, but not a star and not what you'd expect from all the praise Buxton has gotten. If some would be happy with that from Buxton, good for them. Might end up being his ceiling.

    You did not list biscuits and gravy therefore your ballot is invalid. :-)

    I liked Willie Wilson. He was an All Star a couple times. He was a very good player for like a 4 year span or so. Having said that, if all Buxton becomes is a Willie Wilson type player, I'll be disappointed. We keep lowering the bar for Buxton. Starting to think most people will be perfectly happy if he just becomes a serviceable OF. This guy was a #2 overall pick and a top 20 prospect for four years with three of those years being a top 2 prospect. Many brag so much about our farm system over the last few years, but now we're fine with the crown jewel of that vaunted system to end up like Willie Wilson? A Willie Wilson isn't a major factor in turning around a ball club. A Willie Wilson isn't a perennial All Star. He's a supporting character. Now, teams need players like that, for sure, but if a Willie Wilson is your #1 team prospect, maybe your farm system isn't all that.

    I'll be watching the Twins/Tigers on Thursday.

    And yet my 75 year old mothers loves Famous Daves. Guessing it's because she spent 50 or so years in Cali where there is no BBQ ;-)

    Famous Dave's...only in desperate times...maybe not even then.

    I like Lockhart Smokehouse and the Slow Bone in Dallas. Haven't tried Off the Bone. My next time in Dallas though.
  12. jimmer
    That's in Texas, right?

    I believe our announcers are mis-remembering the quality of Trammell's defense.

    I believe there are three now. http://www.joeskc.com/pages/restaurant-menu

    You meant Kansas City, Kansas, right? That's where Joe's is. Q39 is in KC Missouri. I have eaten at both. Love both.
  16. jimmer
    I am envious. Enjoy it!
  17. jimmer
    Is this the good Gibson?
  18. jimmer
    Joe's Kansas City BBQ. Or Q39. But I'd go with Joe's
