    I definitely had a good laugh. Thanks for sharing!

    Here's a good stocking stuffer idea... Ken Kratz, #1 douche in the entire documentary, has now decided to write a book about the case. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to hear that clown's side of the story..... http://www.businessinsider.com/making-a-murderer-prosecutor-ken-kratz-book-2016-1

    Pictured: The Twins just announced who's going to be rooming with each other at ST! Oswaldo Arcia gets to bunk with.... Joe Mauer!

    More money*...... *Until they hit the $113 million cap that TR or the Pohlad's sanctioned for the team.

    The bad year for musicians continues... Jimmy Bain, bass guitarist of Dio and Rainbow, passed away. He was 68 years old.

    So MAUER is to blame for the Wild's lackluster Power Play eh? Should have known....

    I agree with this statement, but it's mainly the result of the Twins' inactivity, and this is what we're left with. There were several guaranteed contracts I would have liked the Twins to pursue (Bastardo, Sipp, Storen, etc.) But now that we're here, and the options are what you presented, I think myself and others are thinking what's the point? Might as well go with the young guys instead of Duensing again....

    He's been working with the same hitting guru since he was 5 years old... The Mauer QuickSwing..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxaqxk09Yr4

    Too bad Phil Miller couldn't see into the future that Torii Hunter, Tim Stauffer, and Jordan Schafer were coming to the rescue on 1 year deals! Then my argument would have merit.
  10. Vanimal46
    Completely agree. Point #1, the Golden State Warriors were purchased for $450 million in 2010, only 6 years ago. Forbes value today? 1.9 BILLION. Just by pure supply and demand, your initial investment in any of the 4 major sports teams is going to increase x-fold whenever you'd want to sell the team.

    I'd like to see any owner in baseball or sports that opens up about their ability to spend money for players. These authors are around the team, and reads between the lines, because they're not going to get the truth from TR or others when it comes to anything financially. I agree with your premise that they are hesitant to add big money on a long term contract. That is pretty obvious. I'd like to know who is leading that train of thought... Is it TR's conservative approach? A message from the owners that TR has to oblige by? It's someone in the organization that has that mind set, and it's not feasible to recruit high end talent to sign with this club.
  12. Vanimal46
    What year would you like for examples? Going into 2015? Going into 2013? Going into this year? It's seemingly the same song and dance every off-season. Except for 2014 when even TR and ownership knew they had to do something about the starting pitching, otherwise the fans would have completely stopped showing up.

    I mean, you could always send him a care package of Peanut Butter and say happy national peanut butter day! Getting care packages in college is one of life's simple pleasures.
  14. Vanimal46
    I agree with you drjim that it's a reasonable position for an owner to not want to lose money on the team. However, I think the big con out of this is the fact that every year the team is so payroll-strapped. Where $113 million seems to be the absolute limit that the team can spend. The whole sales pitch for building Target Field is they need a new environment to compete with the large market teams. Other than going after 2nd tier starting pitching the last couple of years, I still have not been convinced that ownership is keeping up with their end of the deal.

    Happy Monday everyone. For those that missed it yesterday, Sunday was National Peanut Butter Day! So feel free to celebrate again today. Today is also National Opposite Day! So to everyone on this post, I hate your guts.... Today is also National Irish Coffee Day. It's been a while since I've enjoyed an Irish Coffee...
  16. Vanimal46
    I'm against this idea. Unless you enjoy having guys like Stauffer and Schafer on your team all season long. Me, I'd prefer teams trimming the fat and putting quality players on the MLB roster. Though I will say the 26th roster spot would have been convenient last year to hide JR Graham....
  17. Vanimal46
    The Twins also settled on a contract for Jepsen today. So as Brett Favre used to say, "The pieces are in place."
  18. Vanimal46
    What do we know about this guy? Hard thrower? Soft tosser?
  19. Vanimal46
    Kepler + Plouffe + one of the SS prospects (let's say Palacios for now) for any one of Harvey, Syndergaard, de Grom, or Matz. Sign me up.

    Completely insane and hilarious is absolutely in my wheelhouse (I'd like to think my posts on here prove the fact that I am completely insane, sometimes hilarious). I will check it out.

    Figured I would bring back this thread because this weekend it's going to be cold and windy in Austin.. Which means no golf for this guy. Has anyone seen any good shows lately that you would recommend?
  22. Vanimal46
    Hmm, never heard of Halloumi, but I am intrigued. What does it go good with for a meal?
  23. Vanimal46
    I'm not a baker either, but apparently it's made with brown sugar instead of cocoa (I think that's what normal brownies require?) Either way the picture looks great.

    Pictured: nicksaviking (far right) envisions a year where the youth movement is in full effect. Meanwhile, Vanimal46, DaveW, and Mike Sixel knows how this movie plays out; with Abad, Buddy Boshers, and any veteran presence finding their way on the Twins 25 man roster for opening day. http://www.streamstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Simpsons.png
