    There's a cereal named after Anthony Rizzo called RizzOs

    I was saying last year and all offseason that our team wasn't close to as good as our record was last year. But then we mostly stood still in the offseason, while other teams went and got better, and we are now getting killed. Certainly and admittedly didn't expect THIS level of futility, but I absolutely expected us to be worse than last year.

    only if you figured the window had actually opened or would open this year.

    it's the other way around. what did the sadist say to the masochist when the masochist asked the sadist to hurt him? The sadist said no.
  5. jimmer
    So many to choose from. How about putting names in a hat and picking one?
  6. jimmer
    Because we have the worst rotation in the game which can afford to waste a pitcher who showed promise as a starter.
  7. jimmer
    Bert, 'You get three swings' That might make the game faster.

    think our rotation ERA will be over 6.00 by the all star break, by the end of the season, or not at all?
  9. jimmer
    why should the runs be unearned?

    But he's also 5 years younger than Park and if used as a DH versus RHP (as opposed to Park under .720), he carries an OPS near .800. Most pitchers are righties. I've never been sold on Park, thought it was a bad move to get him based on how our roster was constructed. Not one thing has changed my mind. In fact, this season has re-enforced every reason why I had an issue with his signing all along.
  11. jimmer
    It's a matter of perspective really. Considering our rotation ERA is 5.59, by having him and his 5.12 ERA in the rotation, it makes our rotation ERA lower :-)

    Because a 30 year old who can't get on base at even a 30% clip is better for our future than a 25 year old who still has room for growth. or something like that. Could also be ticket sales, or the ability to spell Mauer at base bcause he's got a 1B mitt (not because he can play it well). Of course, if Park got sent down (or traded) our hitting jewel (Sano) could play his best position, DH, when he got back while Arcia could fill in until then.
  13. jimmer
    The Royals and Rays could use a DH. They may even be smart enough to platoon him as a DH.
  14. jimmer
    wouldn't matter anyway. The chance that Ryan would sign a true Ace pitcher in FA is as likely as any of us winning 100M+ in the lottery...twice.
  15. jimmer
    for the whole game...

    Hilarious. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/ben-revere-outfield-assist-alert/

    because of his BA? yeah, no.
  18. jimmer
    unfortunately, it doesn't amaze me :-)

    loved it. stayed there for quite some time, and went back when I retired. but, alas, gone for good now.

    For awhile, the record heat for one day in Saudi and the record heat for one day in Iraq was during the time frame I was in each one of them. That's not the case any more. Qatar, however, I was there during it's hottest day ever. And I've been in colds as low as -60s wind chill (in the -30s with around 20 MPH windl) as well. In fact, my first winter in North Dakota, after growing up in California and having spent the previous 5 years in Panama, was when I first experienced that. I had been in North Dakota for a whopping two weeks when that happened.

    I moved a bit West last summer. Not all the way to California or anything, but still. This past 'winter' I never wore anything more than a hoodie. I got cold once, and that was from standing outside waiting to gain access to the flightline for 1/2 hour or so...so I put on my knit cap and light gloves and was fine.
  23. jimmer
    I'd be happy to consistently live with the temp in mid 70s. Even better the 60s.
  24. jimmer
    78 is chilly?
  25. jimmer
    Because there are a ton of Twins fans in N Dakota (many also UND fans) and it's also Twins territory?
