  1. I don't recall them ever saying Tuco was in prison when he was introduced in Breaking Bad... That also could be a cliff hanger in this show, where he gets bailed out somehow by his family. I think Jimmy snapping on Chuck is coming soon. The tension in their relationship is rising with each episode. One of these times he's going to bring up the "disease". I don't believe it was ever explained fully why Chuck had it in the first place right? Unless I missed that in season 1.
  2. Pictured: Byung-Ho Park reveals his secret for mashing HRs over the last 3 years....
  3. Pictured: How Duffey feels whenever he pitches against the Toronto Blue Jays....
  4. I'd like to know where some of the veterans are at on the velocity scale. Hughes has been shutting teams down the first 2 starts, but for those that have seen him so far, is he sitting in the 88-91 range? Or is he back up to the 92+ range? Ervin Santana's another one that I have not seen yet. Hopefully he's still got some heat left.
  5. Dare I say Nolasco is looking..... good? Just checking in on gameday, but through 2 1/3 0 R, 15 Pitches, 15 strikes... Who is this guy?
  6. Could be wrong but I thought I heard "That all you got?" Unless he said something prior to that line which I missed. That's a good point to make about Chuck. He's always treated Saul as "Slippin' Jimmy" and it's no wonder he became who he was in Breaking Bad... It's frustrating to see the sacrifices Saul makes to take care of him, and Chuck shows zero gratitude for what he does. Seems like he just expects those sorts of things from him.
  7. This show is consistently good every week. I wouldn't say it's on Fargo's level of brilliance, but so far so good. Mike as always is a tough SOB, and his story line is only going to get more intriguing. I really hate that Chuck is right when it comes to Saul. Instead of helping him, he's sitting back and waiting for him to screw up. I wish he could admit his resentment towards Saul. Get off your high horse Chuck and help out your brother.
  8. Sorry! International Women's Day wasn't on the National Day Calendar. Otherwise I would have included that as well!
  9. I'm no English major, but I pride myself on knowing the difference between your and you're... If it makes you feel better, I winced for a second before pressing Post.
  10. I'm all for Arcia making a push to get more playing time. Other than last year's epic failure, he showed that he can mash RH pitching. As long as he doesn't regress to his boneheaded ways in the OF, I'll be rooting for him to get some time in the lineup.
  11. Let's keep the good vibes going..... Today is National Peanut Cluster Day! Peanuts and chocolate is one of the best food combinations of all time... Today is also National Pancake Day! If you live near an iHop, I think you're able to get free breakfast today! So get a stack of pancakes. You deserve it! Today is also National Proofreading Day! So make sure your speeling things cawrectly on this webcite, okay?
  12. Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't realize that site had so many avenues... There's videos relating to teachers and students, how to pay a pizza delivery person if you don't have money, and fun activities to do on a bus!
  13. CC Sabathia opens up on the Player's Tribune about his decision to seek help for his alcoholism last October. A very good read. Here's the link.
  14. ShaggyTexas.com ... Blog that's got a similar set-up to TD. A section for TX sports (which I ignore completely) but other sections for restaurants/food, music shows, books, movies/TV, video games, and sharing drunk stories.. Profanity is allowed on that site as a forewarning if you check it out. I'm also one of those weirdos that uses Bing... Why not earn Amazon gift cards for work related searches? And they have a news feed of the top articles of the day that is good for a click or 2 from me. supercook.com is pretty cool too. Basically you input what you have in the refrigerator/pantry, and it comes up with recipes that work for what you have. As a guy who runs out of dinner ideas easily, it works out well. I use social media less and less every day, but I guess I can still say Twitter and Facebook.
  15. No mention of Cinnamon Toast Crunch from anyone here? This just makes me sad.. That was the cereal that I could eat by the box as a teenager.
  16. Hard pass on Plouffe. Like you said, I think the Twins fold their hand and trade Plouffe. Which IMO is the right thing to do. They had a good run with Plouffe, and retained him through his age 30 season. Nothing wrong with moving on from him next season, or in July if Polanco tears up AAA pitching. Gibson I agree should be extended. He's improved every year on this team, and should have plenty of gas left in the tank to make a 4/30.5 contract worthwhile. After everyone you mentioned on the list, it's clear that there's very few on the priority list to sign. Gibson and Sano should be the highest priorities going forward, and the rest will quietly exit this team (Suzuki, Jepsen, Perkins, Plouffe) when their contracts are over.
  17. Couple of goodies to start the week... Today is National Be Heard Day! If you work for, or own, a small business, today is your day! So what if there's big corporations, you do things better! Today is also National Cereal Day! You can thank my generation (the Millenials) for the decrease in sales for cereal. Apparently it's too much work to put cereal in a bowl, and god forbid, clean the bowl when you're done. I love cereal! My favorite cereals without taking into consideration health choices, ranked: - Cinnamon Toast Crunch - Life (Cinnamon or Original Flavor) - Frosted Flakes - Rice Crispies (with sugar, and bananas sliced on top) - Special K (also with sugar, and fruit on top) - Honey Nut Cheerios - Corn Pops - Getting struck by a car - Grape Nuts - Wheaties Today is also National Crown Roast of Pork Day! I don't believe I've ever had pork presented that way, but if it's pork, I will try it.
  18. Hard pass. But that's just me being skeptical of all meal replacement options out there....
  19. Yep Sano could be the first player to get a $200+ million contract from the Twins. He'd be worth it. Hopefully there's a way to afford him when the time comes.
  20. I figured Sano would be #1 on this list for sure... Jepsen's a hard pass for me as an extension candidate, and I'd focus all my efforts on Sano's next contract. 7/42.5 sounds like a good start.. But what would it look like if the Twins shoot for the stars and buys out multiple FA years? Would $30 million for each of his FA years be enough to keep him on board?
  21. That's encouraging to read the heat is there with Burdi. Sounds like a future closer or 8th inning guy in the works. Is there anything in the works for a changeup to go along with that 99 MPH heater?
  22. Let me guess, both lattes were for him.... Maybe you just hit your lucky 1000 on a weekday. As you know being a 1000 post member, the people that hit that mark on the weekends gets a real cake! And a flight of some of Canada's finest beers from North!
  23. Let me be the first to welcome you to the EXCLUSIVE 1,000 Post Club! This elite group of individuals dedicates their craft to making TD great again. The torch, is being passed on to you, young clutterheart. With this power, comes great responsibility. As a reward, Brock will be waiting for your arrival at the TD Headquarters with a cake!! http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2012/06/29/1226411/659339-lonely.jpg Also, yes, it was very surprising to read "league-average defense" for Polanco. Took me by surprise too.
  24. This product I can endorse. Used it in the past for my NHL GameCenter package to watch the Wild games while I lived in MN. Just set your location to a state that you don't care to watch the games (at the time I put in FL as my location)
  25. I really should start making my drunk business ideas a reality. Honest to God I had that same idea over a year ago, but sober Vanimal the next day did nothing to act on it...
