  1. Kids are going to look up to athletes when they're young... And once they grow up like us, it'll switch to a professional mentor/parent/family member or a friend. As long as you're there as a parent and teach them those life lessons when they learn their idol may be a bad person, that's all that matters. You bring up a good alternative to justify watching certain players on our favorite teams - separating what they do on the field, and off the field. I also like Mike's approach of cheering for the uniform, not the players wearing the uniform. I've used both tactics to keep my sanity as a Vikings fan. Especially when there are current and former Vikings players who I will never forgive their actions off the football field.
  2. It's so exotic! And a hell of a lot better than Brad.... If the Twins just hired a Brad I wouldn't be as excited.
  3. Even before the Cubs went out and spent a boat load on Lester, Lackey, Hammel, and Heyward, they hit the jackpot on a couple of trades and the draft... Trades are still something the Twins could be doing a lot more of. In recent memory, far too often the Twins are on the losing side of their trades. The only one that we can tip our cap to the previous regime is Fuld for Milone, which didn't move the needle that much.
  4. Works for me. Let's hope Falvey floods the organization with outside talent. Preferably everyone they hire being Director level or whatever job title they make up.
  5. I'm getting a little prospect fatigued with the awesome RP names in the minors.... They had injuries or ineffectiveness, but they aren't spring chickens anymore. Most everyone is in the 24-27 age range. So yes, let's get all of these guys up this coming year, so we can figure out if they were worth waiting for or not.
  6. Somebody give this guy a username for TD... We have better ideas than Twitter!
  7. Even the Twins, who are terrible (really emphasize terrible) scored 4 runs against Kluber... Why couldn't your high power offense do anything? Or... Hmm, I guess I fell asleep. The Cubs aren't that entertaining TBH.
  8. *Insert It's Happening! Gif here* A front office of people outside the organization? This is a breath of fresh air!
  9. Well, this isn't the Cubbies night. They certainly had their opportunities to tie the game.
  10. Some mornings I sure do feel like that! I think that's one of those old time sayings I picked up from my grandpa.
  11. 6:00 CT game start tomorrow? Beautiful. We can all put our dentures in the glass at a reasonable time.
  12. I would leave him in for the 7th. They want him starting game 4 but damn is right. Don't give the Cubs any chance to rally back in this game.
  13. Also, relying on players such as Matt LeCroy, Jose Offerman, Michael Restovich, Jason Tyner... Not enough depth and too many replacement players paired up with the studs.
  14. If that's the last inning we see for Kluber that's a hell of a WS debut.
  15. 2010 would have been a good year to be a terrible baseball team. At least we have Levi Michael!!!!
  16. I'm with you. Dude is just painting corners right now.
  17. Ross is making up for all of Lester's yips. Guy didn't want a free out picking off Lindor.
  18. 1.77 postseason ERA for Cleveland. Holy bleep.
  19. Hot start for Cleveland. Damage could have been way worse for the Cubbies.
  20. Let's make this a 2016 Minnesota Twins version game thread.... No Willson Contreras in the lineup? Maddon has to go.
  21. Yeah after the poop cruise fiasco with Carnival Cruise in 2013 the last thing I want to do is be stuck on a ship.
  22. Does it involve a shark?
  23. Was there a monster of some kind? Such as Frankenstein, Dracula, or zombies?
