    Concur. The FO/coaches shouldn't get any blame for sending down Shag-wa... He wanted to make the MLB roster, hid an arm injury during ST in hopes of making the roster, and pitched poorly. Hopefully the arm injury is relatively minor and he can bounce back quickly.

    Kind of a weird story about Noah Syndergaard over the weekend. He missed his last start due to "biceps tendonitis" and also refused to take an MRI, where he self-diagnosed himself saying things are fine. Flash forward to yesterday, where he had the worst first inning performance of his career, and clearly showing signs of pain on the mound. Hopefully his injury issues don't linger on for the next few months instead of doing the smart thing by sitting out some starts in April.... Baseball is way more fun when guys like him are on the field and effective.

    Per Aaron Gleeman on Twitter: Fewest games to reach 50 career homers in Twins history: 219 Miguel Sano 245 Jimmie Hall 274 Justin Morneau 283 Tom Brunansky

    Man-Tree. Since he's a cross between a man and a tree.

    Sure would be nice to address OL... Not like it's a glaring need or anything.

    If Gibson is not listening to advice from the MLB coaching staff, would he listen to anything the AAA coaches have to say?

    Trader Rick likes having 8-10 picks per draft IIRC...

    I'm excited to see what he can do in Jacksonville. The dude basically took last year off so he wouldn't get hurt, but the season before that he was a beast. The NFL Network guys were salivating over him last night, mentioning multiple times that he "runs angry"

    Haha nah... A couple of 4th graders hypnotized their school principal to become Captain Underpants... The school principal was a meany to children, and whenever he became Captain Underpants, he was a nice guy! He also fought villains such as Dr. Diaper, 6th grade bullies, and Wedgie Woman.

    The Millenials will get this reference... Or if you had kids in the mid-90's... http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Underpants02-580x435.jpg

    Actually, that is the most recent picture of Chief we could find....

    The Bears got duped by a first time GM.... Trading picks #3, #67, #111, and a 2018 3rd in order to move up one spot and take QB Mitch Trubisky... A guy with 13 career starts in college. The Chiefs also mortgaged their future to move up 17 spots and take project QB Pat Mahomes at #10 overall. 2 RBs are off the board - Fournette to the Jaguars, and McCaffery to the Panthers. The Browns appear to be not screwing this up. And they're stockpiling a boat load of draft picks for next year too. Only 2 OL were selected last night... Is it really that bad of a draft for OL? If so, that's bad timing for the Vikings.

    Your boy Kamara is available in the 2nd round... Wouldn't mind the Vikes picking him up!

    Speaking of Tony Stark.... Today is National Superhero Day! If you could be any superhero, who would you be?

    That's very strange of Fletcher to have that kind of attitude... I thought this organization is beyond the "Happy to be here!" mentality considering this is the 5th year in a row making the playoffs....
  17. Vanimal46
    Probably. But let's be honest, ESPN hasn't cared about hockey in a long, long time. On a typical December day, they show maybe 30 seconds of highlights, maybe a quick minute with Melrose, then it's back to talking hoopzzzz and hot taeks.

    Some of the big names like Stark and Ed Werder shouldn't have issues finding a new gig. Others, like the niche college football conference bloggers will have some issues. The market is going to be chaotic... Lots of sports media people hitting the open market at the same time, and not a lot of places to go.
  19. Vanimal46
    Completely agree. If there's any extension being discussed, I'd want 8 years like you said.
  20. Vanimal46
    Tonkin is certainly on the list of relievers that need to be removed this season. Pick your poison for who should be first, second, third, and fourth to go. This has been said in other threads, and becoming a dead horse... Molitor does not trust him. Hasn't trusted him in 1.5 years. Why keep delaying the inevitable?
  21. Vanimal46
    Haha prove me wrong! What's the correct answer?
  22. Vanimal46
    Diehard, I believe you're getting confused by ALTERNATIVE facts.... It is true that Gibson seeks pitching advice from someone, but not from TC Bear. Oddly enough, he went to a former, very accomplished Twins pitcher. That man, is the TRUE Vanimal.... That's right, Vance Worley is behind it all! You're probably thinking, "Why in the world would Gibby do that?!" Let's break down the facts... Worley was once an opening day starter in 2013. Kyle has never been one... NO ONE CAN DENY THIS!
  23. Vanimal46
    Steak sauce... A1 preferably. Heinz 57 is okay on occasion.
  24. Vanimal46
    We're always the test subject... Since, you know, we're so fascinating as a generation. Where the hell is my participation trophy?!
  25. Vanimal46
    Not a clue.
