    Great.... Now he's going to search for our FB group after you gave him the name!

    I should probably get into the laptop market since the last time I had a working one was a year or 2 post college.... Then I think to myself I've been working on a computer all day long. The last thing I want to do when I get home is use another laptop.

    U of M Regents Chair Dean Johnson voiced strong support for Tracy Claeys in the fish wrap west side. “But when you look at these matters, you have to look at the totality of the season, and 8-4 is very respectable,” Johnson said. “Tracy Claeys, in my opinion, has done a very good job. He’s assembled a great coaching staff with great values." “When all is said and done, stability is a good thing. Stability in any program — and yes, with appropriate adjustments — but you start changing out personnel, you’ve got these players who have to get to know new coaches. So I err on the side of stability.” So he's fine with mediocrity....

    Hope you all had a great extended weekend! Today is Cyber Monday! What's everyone spending their hard earned money on today? As we continue to get older, the amount of things I need or desire for Xmas keeps going down... While you're shopping on Amazon, go ahead and whip up some French Toast.... Because it's National French Toast Day! If the choice was between french toast, pancakes, or eggs, I'm choosing french toast 10 times out of 10. Finally, on this day in 1893, the first women in the world were allowed to vote in New Zealand! We missed this day on Saturday, but on that day in 1960, the Washington Senators move to Minnesota full-time to become the Minnesota Twins!

    Concur. Claeys should be let go on Monday. Even though this is technically his 1st full season as HC, I view it as his 6th year running the program. There hasn't been enough improvement to prompt an extension. As soon as he's out, I'm calling the NDSU head coach for an interview.

    That's sad to hear.... She had a hell of an acting career. Over 60 years being on Broadway, TV, movies, and variety shows.

    University of Minnesota Men's Athletics. First runner up was Paul Molitor. Since the spirit of this annual article is to rip and poke fun at bad sports teams, I'd rather go after professional athletes than college athletes.

    Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope you all enjoy the day with family or friends... They say real estate is expensive in New York... Well, I'm here to argue real estate on a Thanksgiving plate is the MOST expensive you can find... What are your top priorities to eat today?

    The results are in... Quite frankly I think this is a meh selection this year http://www.startribune.com/patrick-reusse-s-2016-turkey-of-the-year-in-making-the-selection-it-s-go-bigly-or-go-home/402813536/

    Forgot about Norwood. Another good choice.
  11. Vanimal46
    Great choices. I bet they will all be featured in some way tomorrow.

    Pedro Martinez... what a scrub. #3 pitcher at best since he's 5'11"
  13. Vanimal46
    Our family had a couple of Thanksgiving traditions.... Going over to Grandma's house for a large feast, watching football, taking a nap on the couch, and reading Reusse's Turkey of the Year in the paper. This year I believe it will be Terry Ryan who will win the coveted award... Are there others that come to mind that would make the Turkey of the Year list?
  14. Vanimal46
    He may or may not regress. There are plenty of catchers in their 30's that are doing a fine job behind the plate. Bottom line is this 3 year contract isn't going to cripple the payroll for the Twins. There's a solid 3 year window before Buxton, Sano, Kepler, Berrios, and pick your flavor prospect become multi-millionaires. This is a perfect time to pay a premium price for someone who they feel is going to help a young pitching staff, and bring stability to a positional need in the organization.
  15. Vanimal46
    If there's any consolation in that trade, Aaron Hicks was pretty bad too. So no blood lost in this trade battle. I do agree that the clock is ticking for JRM. He probably gets one more shot next year to prove he's a worthy backup. Otherwise he'll be AAA fodder and Garver takes over the backup spot.

    Thanks for helping me waste soooo much time during the week days... I wouldn't change a thing! This is an awesome community of people who love Twins baseball.

    Woah man... It's way to early for our minds to be blown like this. http://img.pandawhale.com/post-28553-Steve-Jobs-mind-blown-gif-HD-T-pVbd.gif

    Happy Thanksgiving Eve! It's been a bittersweet week for me.... Found out yesterday my mentor who I've partnered up with over the last 2.5 years is leaving the company in January... Makes me think if I should follow suit. Let's get happy! Today is National Espresso Day! I always see that commercial with George Clooney and Danny DeVito with that espresso maker similar to a kuerig. Espresso is far down on the list of drinks I usually get in the morning.... Coffee, Cappuccino, Hot Cocoa, Tea, Espresso.. Today is also National Cashew Day! Did you know.... The shell of a cashew is toxic? How would you like to be that person who first tried a cashew, and learned if only I took it out of the shell, I wouldn't be dying right now? Today is also National Jukebox Day! When was the last time you saw an actual juke box in a restaurant or bar? Now it's just a touch screen to select your favorite songs, or you can download the app.... I do enjoy going to a dive bar, putting $10 in that sucker and set the tone with some great tunes. Speaking of jukeboxes, the first one debuted on this day in 1888! The Palais Royale Saloon in San Francisco was the first bar to ever have one of these machines in their establishment. It became so popular that it took over having pianos in bars. Also, on this day in 1936, Life Magazine published their first ever issue! Well, scratch that. Life Magazine was a thing beginning in 1883 as a general interest, light entertainment magazine. Once Henry Luce bought the magazine in 1936, they became heavily picture focused.

    Stumbled upon Black Mirror on Netflix... Holy buckets is that an interesting show! Anyone else dive into this yet?
  20. Vanimal46
    Not promising when the chat host said he thinks Berrios is going to end up as a reliever.... not promising at all.
  21. Vanimal46
    Hope he is a defensive wizard behind the plate! Anything to help out a young pitching staff gets a thumbs up.
  22. Vanimal46
    Hell yeah!
  23. Vanimal46
    Great news!
  24. Vanimal46
    For Sling, you'd get your local Fox Sports channel, correct? So if I get it, I'd most likely get Fox Sports SouthWest down in Texas.
