  1. Pictured: Alex Meyer is found after being lost on the AAA roster the last couple of days! http://b8.img.v4.skyrock.net/3320/24603320/pics/2938378525_1_3.jpg

  4. Today's Question: Love or Money? As you're walking back to your car from a long day at work, a suave looking man in a black pinstripe suit walks up to you. He tells you that he can make you rich beyond your wildest dreams - with a catch. If you accept this payment, you will no longer be able to remember or experience true love again. Whether that's a significant other, parent, or activity. You won't know until the suave looking man hands you the money. Once the money touches your hands, the effects start kicking in. What amount of money would you ask for to give up true love? Or would you not do it at all?
  5. I think the lesson learned yesterday is maybe the internet isn't as important as we're led to believe. I think Levi was on the right track getting all of your money in cash form. And Mike's suggestion to invest heavily in paper/printing companies is a good one too. I think that's what I would do.
  6. Very glad to read about Buxton's success in AAA so far! 13 7 hits against Stewart? Woof. But still good that he only gave up 2 runs. Must have pitched out of a lot of jams. Was the other team just finding holes in the defense last night? Or were they getting hard hits against Stewart? EDIT: I should read more carefully. Carry on.
  7. Delete Chief's account... Sorry Chief. It was set up on a tee in my mind.
  8. As a 26 year old, I absolutely agree "with age". I'm still waiting on the comes wisdom part.
  9. I didn't realize you were a millennial! Welcome aboard! You're joining some elite company with me, Dinger, always, and Hrb. Slowly but surely we'll decrease the average age here. As far as advice, keep your sense of humor with the bad times. It's just a game, and entertainment for us at the end of the day. When the good times do eventually come back around, hopefully we'll all appreciate them more after watching the last 5 losing years!
  10. You're witnessing how we all got through the off-season... And now the dog days of the regular season!
  11. Brilliant! That may be the way to go here... Though you may raise some red flags if you burst into the bank and demanded all of your cash at once....
  12. We have been dating for about a month now! The bad news is she's considering taking a new job in Dallas that would require around 50% travel... I'm not one that does well in long distance relationships.. I'm not going to hold her back from doing it if she wants, but I also know the relationship's probably going to end shortly if she does.
  13. Nobody's thought of downloading all of the archived game threads on this site? I thought we were talking about life changing things on those threads....
  14. The whole world as we know it would stall out with no internet.. Almost every company's payments and shipments would be halted... Where were these boxes supposed to go again? The careers of some folks would seize to exist (computer science, developers, bloggers, etc.) Do you try to hack confidential CIA type information? I mean, what are they going to do to you once the internet goes away? I think you guys are on the right track. There would be a YUGE demand for porn in print/video form without the internet.
  15. On that note... http://l0lz.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Disgusted-GIF.gif
  16. Very well done Dave! Like Mike said, I'd give Sano an A- to an A the rest of the season. Especially if the RF experiment is over.... My confidence in Dozier is lower than yours - C+ on a good day. I think he should be seriously considered for trading away and give the spot to Polanco. Bonus question: Confidence level for the rest of TR's tenure as GM - F...
  17. I'm bringing this back! Internet Shutdown: You must be one important person in life. The President of the United States called you directly to deliver some harsh news... The internet is being shut down in 24 hours. Only you know about this, and by 7 AM the next morning, everyone is going to be in shock that they're no longer able to connect to the Internet. What would you download off of the internet knowing it will no longer exist in 24 hours? How would you prioritize what gets downloaded first?
  18. I see your point on comparing the potential output to other positions. I'm just not sure if it's a fair comparison. If we compare catcher to catcher, if the team acquires someone that hits like Escobar, IMO that gives them an advantage over the competition. Here's the fangraphs team stats page.. You're not a WAR guy, and neither am I. Pick your poison: BA - last HR - last RBI - last - OPS - 29th. The difference between 30th and 10th is .100 points on BA, .324 on OPS... It's just a really bad situation here in Minnesota.
  19. Let's say the team does over pay for a position scarcity, and it works out. Wouldn't that be a significant advantage over the competition? Did other teams punt the C position before because, well there's only 1 Joe Mauer/Buster Posey, there's no way we'll find anything better?
  20. I'm with you. There's no path for Rogers to make it as a SP in the MLB. There's always a need for a lefty out of the pen, and will most likely be his best chance to stick on an MLB roster.
  21. No offense Jeremy, but I hope you're completely wrong about Runzler and/or Boshers coming up to the MLB later on this summer... Maybe you see differently when watching the games. As a fan from a far, I don't really see the point in adding a 31 and 28 year old to the mix when there's younger talent to choose from.
  22. I love this! Brilliant! Did it work out for shortening the lines?
  23. We'll just have to agree to disagree. You value Hu much more than I do, and that's perfectly fine. On to the next tangent or topic we go.
  24. I didn't see the rest of the game thread on Friday... Was their a photoshop competition? On days that Berrios pitches, I'm laying back on the couch, taking in the sun, and chillin like this bear.
