I think Mauer will still get the majority of starts at 1B this season as Park adjusts to the league. But I can certainly envision beginning in 2017 where Mauer and Park switch roles, especially if Park turns out to be that plus defender in the field.

Boy Scouts is something I wish I would have stuck with thinking back on it. I did the cub scouts thing, and that was what, when you're 6 or 7 years old? I remember the cub scout leader was boring, and lost interest in continuing on.

I wonder if after a while instead of feeling like 75 all the time, you wished that you were feeling even younger, like 55-60. It's kind of a cruel joke to be immortal, and look/feel like you're 75 years old all the time.
-
I hope you're wrong, but I do have the same concern... If that curve is as good as others claim, maybe it can be sustainable. But as we've learned with other pitchers, one little tweak in their routine, arm motion, whatever, and it can spiral downhill quickly.

Yes they do have the worst app ever. I did the 2 week free trial period to see if it's worth $15/month, and experienced several problems. One, it did not work on all devices. Had the hardest time getting it to load properly on the Roku. I also had problems with the app crashing during the middle of a show. I like the idea HBO has to go rouge from the cable subscription, but their app needs a remodel before I spend $15/month on it.

Forever 75 You celebrate your 75th birthday in good health. As far as you can tell, you are a spry, relatively normal 75-year-old. And this condition does not seem to change over time: When you celebrate your 80th birthday, you look and feel exactly as you did on your 75th. When you hit 90, you still look and feel 75. On your 100th birthday, you realize that most of your friends are now dead or dying -- but physically, you are the same independent person you were 25 years ago. You hit age 110 with the same results. Every year, you are celebrating a new birthday without physically evolving beyond the age of 75. Doctors have no explanation for this inexplicable stasis. At what age do the thoughts of immortality pop into your head? How old would you have to be before you would start to seriously believe that you are immortal?

Happy Monday. Hope everyone enjoyed the Super Bowl. The game was pretty blah, the commercials were also meh, so hopefully you had some good food to eat. I think I chose a good one for today, but we'll find out.
-
I'll choose better questions for next week as this one was a bust. My answer is hell no would I do this challenge. Even if I took my sweet time thinking about every.single.number I just said, I know I'd screw up before I say the number 225.
-
We've got one taker! I'll grab the gasoline, the money, and a camera crew. See you in a few Levi.

1 or 2 of the 3 (Mastroianni, Benson, Sweeney) are the first to be let go. ABW and Kepler are sent back to AAA to start the year. I think the Twins are going to break camp with 5 OF's... Rosario-Buxton-Sano are the starters. Santana and Arcia on the bench.

Can Kurt Suzuki Turn Things Around In 2016?
Vanimal46 replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
That's all fine and dandy if Suzuki can find a middle ground between 2014 and 2015's numbers offensively. I think a bigger concern is Suzuki's defense.. Mike a month or so ago shared the Fangraphs article about Gibson where they mentioned Suzuki was one of the worst pitch framers in the game, and caused more harm than good with the pitching staff. And we're all aware he was letting base runners steal at ease last year. I don't want Suzuki to get the number of PA needed to vest his option next year. Let's hope for a 60/40 split on playing time leaning more on Murphy this season.- 46 replies

Isn't it ironic that Mike jumped at the bit to introduce this national day?

Today's question may be a bust, because counting down backwards from 300 is nearly impossible.
-
It's from the card game HYPERtheticals: 50 Questions for Insane Conversations created by Chuck Klostermann.
-
Today's question... The Countdown: You are presented with a strange challenge: someone dares you to count backward from 300 to 0. If you succeed at this simple request, you will be given $250,000 in cash. However, if you misspeak (or even stutter), get any digit incorrect, or make any mistake whatsoever, you will immediately be doused with gasoline and burned alive. Do you dare attempt this challenge?

So we ended up with 3 votes for less than $1, 1 vote for $500, 2 for 4 figures, and always who would rob the wizard at wand-point..... For me, I'm 25, still casually dating, with no intentions of getting married for the next 5 years. I'm also in a sales role for my profession. You better believe I'm dropping major coin for this once in a lifetime opportunity!! I'd say see you in a few years to my down payment on a house, I'm giving that wizard $20k and letting him do work.
-
She's alive! Good to hear from you again always. You missed National Cheese Lover's Day not too long ago. Hope you celebrated in style.
-
But.... If you throw some money down, maybe the right people gives you that wanted attention! Maybe even from Craig's man crush Chris Hemsworth

Not Pictured: "Hey Brian, let's prank call Terry...." Pictured: TR: "Hello this is Terry with the Minnesota Twins." BC: "Hey Terry, Brian Cashman with the Yanks." TR: "What can I do ya for Brian?" BC: "You've made it perfectly clear that you're not entertaining any offers for Plouffe. But there's another minor leaguer we're interested in pursuing." TR: "Oh yeah, who's that?" BC: "He's down in Chattanooga. I believe his name is Aman." TR: "Aman?" BC: "Yeah, you know. Aman D'Hugginkiss!" *hangs up laughing* TR: "Why I oughta!!!" http://www.manux.tv/fotos_temas/3935-Moe%20Szyslak%20-%20014.jpg

Pictured: JP: "What are you guys doing?!" DSP & TR: "Nothing Mr. Pohlad, promise!" JP: "Are you guys messing with my budget numbers again?" TR: "Well, we thought if we moved around some things, we would have more money to put into the payroll..." JP: "You thought WHAT?! Are you INSANE?" DSP & TR: "Sorry Mr. Pohlad. It won't happen again...."

So far we have 2 votes for less than $1, and 2 votes for paying over 4 figures to the wizard. I'll wait for a few more submissions, reveal my answer, and introduce the next question tomorrow morning.
-
That's a great point Mike. I would imagine the marriage would improve significantly, and they may want to take you out in public more often than they do now!
-
That's what I'm talking about Levi! Drop a couple of G's and watch the ladies flock your way!
-
Well in the scenario, $1 doesn't change much at all, but there's something different that's making the stranger more appealing to you. And let's say if you throw down $1 million, you can start a dynasty for being Sexiest Man Alive in People magazine.

I can only read so much about Sano's inevitable transition to the OF and his weight loss.
