  1. Bartolo Colon is a national treasure. He'll be sorely missed when he officially retires from baseball.
  2. It's beyond time to do something about this... There are a lot of sick people in this country. If we implemented the usual talking points for regulating guns (background check, mental health screen, deny those with a criminal history, etc.) I'm still not sure this particular suspect would draw any suspicion unfortunately. From what I've read about the suspect, he was a 64 year old man who was a licensed hunter, no criminal history, and private pilot. It sounds like he's a madmen that wanted to do this without a prior motive, and kept it from significant others/family. It doesn't get any better reading about this. And sadly, I hope we're not at the point where we're numb reading about this.
  3. You'll also appreciate this as an IT guy... Ours was refurbishing a laptop for a new hire on Monday, and the laptop needed to be plugged in as the battery was shot. This is an accurate representation of him when the power was cut off from her 2 space heaters. http://25.media.tumblr.com/002aa8496cab0525e28328b92d024cad/tumblr_mfd4ay9Axv1rm62hfo2_1280.jpg
  4. You should know. When it's winter in California, it's time to wear socks with sandals!
  5. I actually found a picture of North, and we can confirm. Some times he wears clothes.
  6. Envious? Drinking coffee has become so ingrained in my morning routine that my body now acts exhausted if I don't drink a cup or 2 in the morning.
  7. So today is the launch day for the Super Nintendo classic with 20 some games included. Nintendo continues to F up by not producing enough consoles to meet the demand. The bundled package is already being sold for 2-3 times the original price of $80 on Amazon, Ebay, etc. When will Nintendo learn to create more product to meet the demand? All they're doing is alienating interested customers.
  8. You and me both, ExPat. Once it hits 50 something degrees I'm freezing now... All of our Minnesota weather toughness was lost years ago.
  9. Diggs and especially Thielen are no longer just cute stories that Vikings fans know about. They're becoming legit WRs and should be national names by the end of the season if they keep it up.
  10. Note: It's the first 70 degree day of autumn in Austin.... So of course, sweaters, uggz, scarves, and flanel apparel is needed today.
  11. Now I have a legitimate excuse not to work! A co-worker next to me decided one space heater wasn't enough and plugged in 2 space heaters, resulting in blown surge... Phones and internet is down.
  12. 12:02 John Edwards: Twins are in the postseason. What does this mean moving forward? Should we expect them to be in “Win Now” mode for the next few seasons? 12:03 Eno Sarris: I bet they run it like Cleveland with Derek Falvey in there. hope to have the young guys do it with a slow ramp up of free agent signings. Doubt they trade anything under control for a win now piece. 12:07 Oddball Herrera: How fair would it be to say that if the Rockies beat AZ, few will take notice, but if the Twins beat the Yankees, the internet will be buried for days in ‘fix the wild card’ articles? 12:08 Eno Sarris: I was going to say ‘yeah but the Yankees are that much better than the Twins’ but then I looked and six games separate both pairs. i’m changing my mind a bit: what if upsets are good?
  13. I had a clause put into my offer letter that if my favorite team clinched a playoff spot before the end of the regular season, I can mail it in at work.
  14. You guys!! Today is National Coffee Day! Currently working on cup #2 this morning!
  15. I know exactly who to call for this magic healing ointment....
  16. Can we just go ahead and put Mauer, Polanco, Buxton, Rosario, Dozier, Erv, and Berrios in bubble wrap over the weekend?
  17. Good lord that looks amazing. I want in on this faxing business!
  18. Continuing the Queen theme.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFDcoX7s6rE

  20. The Twins are in the playoffs! Let's express our excitement through music. Post your favorite tunes to celebrate making the playoffs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHwVBirqD2s&index=36&list=PLhGO2bt0EkwvRUioaJMLxrMNhU44lRWg8
  21. The Hef lived a great life. RIP
  22. Here's a fivethirtyeight article about football in LA and it not being successful. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-rams-are-suffering-the-nfls-worst-attendance-decline-in-decades/ The Rams are on pace to have the largest season to season drop-off in attendance.
  23. Yep, he definitely said in another chat (maybe last week?) that Buxton is top 50, pushing top 25 on his trade value series.
  24. Ben 12:10 On opening day, if I had told you that Twins would make postseason, Brewers would finish 10 over .500, Mets 20+ under .500, Giants worst record in baseball, and that neither the Padres or White Sox would be in last place, which would have shocked you most? Dave Cameron 12:10 Probably the Twins making the postseason. Doug 12:11 I've been driving the Byron Buxton hype bus for 3 years now. With all of his skills would you say he is a top 5 overall player in 5 years or have I drunk too much of the kool-aid? Dave Cameron 12:12 I still don't really buy the bat. He's a great defender, but I think a league average wRC+ is a success for him. Elite D with average offense is still really valuable, but not elite. Raindog 12:17 Did the Twins win the wild card, or did every single other ok-not-good team in the AL lose their way into a losing record? Dave Cameron 12:17 Both Xolo 12:18 Do you think a Twins World Series victory would be good or bad for baseball? Dave Cameron 12:18 Was the Royals WS good or bad for baseball? They're basically the same team, same kind of market size. 12:19 It's good that the playoffs are unpredictable. Do you want the worst team in the postseason winning that often? No. Ever? Yes.
  25. From August 6, 2016: Elton: I’m trying to think which team might be the farthest away from contending. It feels like it might be the Twins. 10:50 Jeff Sullivan: Probably the Twins but it might be the Reds
