  1. Maybe firing the DC lit a fire under the players... Only gave up 88 rushing yards all game! I'm pretty sure Illinois had more rushing yards in their first 4 attempts last week.
  2. Yeah he put his head in the sand thinking he could convince Butler to stay. He had a couple of offers better than the one they accepted from Philly it appears. It was a bad call that will ultimately cost him his job.
  3. Sad, really... Wish they traded him last year while he was still a top 100 prospect in baseball.
  4. Great read that details how Thibs bungled this whole Jimmy Buckets situation. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25245073/adrian-wojnarowski-look-final-days-jimmy-butler-saga-nba
  5. Wouldn't expect anything less than that. He's been a class act throughout his career. I'll miss watching him play.
  6. If there's one thing the Twins are consistently good at it's plugging in unknown players at closer successfully. I don't think they need to specifically sign someone for the 9th inning. But they do need 2-3 guys who can handle the high leverage situations in the 7-8th innings.
  7. I am using a harness but the latch is on top of his body. He thinks he's dragging a bobsled like the ititarod right now... And he was so good walking right next to me up until a week ago.
  8. And now back to your regular scheduled programming of not paying attention to the Wolves. Carry on.
  9. Can't comment on the players named from Philly but it seems like a worse trade than what Houston offered.
  10. My boy is going to be 10 months on the 13th and he is certainly a teenager right now... Pushing the boundaries on how far he can run and explore in the park, and pulling on the leash recently. Any training techniques to calm him down on walks and not try to pull where he wants to go?
  11. There is more competition not to be competitive than trying to compete next season... Ironic, don't you think?
  12. I'm right there with you, Bird. Nick's post about them being busts was wishful thinking IMO. They have been holding back their best prospects until they are ready to make the leap forward into contention. Could be as early as April 2019.
  13. Fingers crossed the Twins are in the mix! A LH #3 pitcher is much needed around here.
  14. This is more genuine than 90% of the FB posts out there saying "We need to do something about this. Thoughts and prayers!"
  15. I remember there being concerns from the higher ups about Wiggins' effort if he was paid a max contract. Enough concern where Glen Taylor had to "look him in the eye" before offering it to him. In hindsight they were right to be concerned.
  16. Gonna be really tough to sign Marwin...
  17. The next wave of politicians need to campaign through Grass Roots efforts. I don't want our leaders to cater to the interest of corporations, just because they donated millions of dollars to them.
  18. http://m.startribune.com/timberwolves-need-someone-to-give-andrew-wiggins-a-firm-nudge-toward-greatness/499994631/ Jimmy Buckets tried but Wiggins doesn't listen. Handing Wiggins a max deal was a huge mistake.
  19. I am still not a true believer in the strategy UNLESS it's used to help ease in a rookie pitcher. It looked like the strategy helped Kohl Stewart become comfortable under the big lights. There are a lot of questions that haven't been answered with this strategy... When do you graduate a pitcher from primary to a traditional SP? Are they just a primary pitcher forever?
  20. It's impossible to make logic and sense of sensless acts like this.
  21. Donnie Trump Jr. expected to be indicted soon.
  22. The landscape is changing across the US. Austin has doubled in size in the last 10 years. Same with Charlotte... I do agree with thrylos' other point that they need to figure out relocation first over expansion. The 2 Florida teams have no fan base and no player willing to sign there. Oakland has been playing in a dump for far too long.
