    Brilliant analogy! Agreed 100%, there's so much filler in between the action that it can be hard to watch. If Manfred really wants to increase pace of play, don't allow commercial breaks to occur after every single pitching change.

    I will be cheering heavily for the Cubs. Then hope Falvey takes out the Dodgers PBO for a night out on the town. Buy him enough drinks that he offers Maeda for Dozier. Easy enough!

    I attended in college and the first couple of years post college. It's a fun night out! Unfortunately we drove in the opposite direction for a wedding instead.

    I'm continuing the planes, trains, and automobiles trip in MN to a wedding... Let's kill some time. Today is National Cheese Curds Day! This is a staple food item to get at any state or county fair... Today is also National I Love Lucy Day! This iconic show started on this day in 1951, and I've got to imagine still runs reruns on TV Land. Today is also National Grouch Day! Or for Chief, today is Saturday. I'm becoming a grouch from sitting on a plane and now in a car for another 3.5 hours. Body is stiff! On this day last year, Joey Bats crushed a pitch that still has not landed, and did the infamous bat flip. Also, on this day in 2003, Steve Bartman becomes the scapegoat for the Cubs blowing it in the playoffs.

    Hmm, if they sign Randy Moss and Brett Favre then I'd say Super Bowl homeboy!

    Cleveland sports: completely irrelevant for 50 years, now has a chance to have 2 different sports play for a title. Minnesota is now without question the saddest sports market in the US.

    Both championship series are going to be fantastic. Can't wait to see who makes it to the World Series!

    That was ridiculous. I was driving back to Austin from Dallas, 3.5 hour drive, listening to the game. Lost signal on one radio station that was broadcasting the game. By the time we got it back, it was the top of the 8th. Couldn't believe it.

    If that's the key to look for, I'm frightened. I have male cousins on that side of the family nearly bald in their early 40s.

    I love those types of restaurants and events. I'd rather have small plates and try a variety of dishes at a restaurant over a large portion of one item.

    Killing some time in the airport before my flight back to Minnesota... Today is National Dessert Day! The options are endless for this particular day... Favorite desserts, ranked: -Ice Cream (milkshakes, sundaes, malts, etc.) - Cake (chocolate, red velvet, angel food) - Cupcakes (cake's little brother/sister!) - Cookies (snickerdoodle, macadamia nut, peanut butter, chocolate chip) - Peach Cobbler - Pie (Apple, cherry, pecan) Let your freak flag fly today and get creative with your desserts! Today is also National Be Bald and Be Free Day! We've talked about this before. I'm terrified of eventually losing my hair. It's still holding strong after 26 years! Crossing fingers it still continues to grow back. Finally, on this day in 1947, US Air Force Captain Chuck Yeager becomes the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound!

    It would take multiple Brinks trucks full of money to get a big name coach to Minnesota... For a guy like Les Miles to take this job, maybe $7 mill a season? I just don't see it. They're going to need to take a chance on a coach at a smaller school again. Perhaps the NDSU coach would be interested.
  13. Vanimal46
    I will continue to bear the drum of trading Dozier and letting Polanco take over 2B full-time.
  14. Vanimal46
    Question is, do you give a 40 man add to Turner? Judging by this breakdown, and the countless other needs the team has, I'd pass on him for Garver and take the chance he passes through the rule 5 draft.
  15. Vanimal46
    The company I work for is moving to an unlimited PTO program in 2017, and I'm going to take full advantage when the time comes... Right now we have 3 weeks + 4 sick days, and I try to save up as much as possible to take 2+ weeks off during Xmas to spend time with family.
  16. Vanimal46
    Wow! Out of all destinations you've been to, which is your favorite/most memorable place you've visited?
  17. Vanimal46
    Little did I know this thread was full of world travelers! My passport is pretty depressing.... Canada and Dominican Republic are my only international trips so far.... But, I get to add Mexico to the list next June for my best friend's wedding!
  18. Vanimal46
    Man... One of these years I need to take the time off and travel there. Lots of beer....lots is my type of party! You and Craig will be hearing from me asking for suggestions when the dream becomes a reality!

    Congratulations to both players on a great season. Granite especially had a sneaky good, under the radar season. Hope he can keep it up and be considered for the 4th OF opening in Minnesota.
  20. Vanimal46
    Has anyone traveled overseas to attend Oktoberfest? That is certainly on my bucket list of things to do. Also, to visit Italy and enjoy the wine and delicious food...
  21. Vanimal46
    Knowing what we know now, I would protect: Garver, Vielma, Granite, Palka, Romero, Jorge.
  22. Vanimal46
    If you're joining the thread now, here's a copy/paste list of all players eligible for 40 man addition from Jeremy's OP Catchers: Mitch Garver, Stuart Turner, Rainis Silva, Kevin Garcia. Infielders: Engelb Vielma, Ryan Walker, Jorge Fernandez, Rafael Valera, Amaurys Minier. Outfielders: Zach Granite, Daniel Palka. Pitchers: Aaron Slegers, Ryan Eades, Fernando Romero, Brandon Peterson, Brian Gilbert, Lewis Thorpe, Williams Ramirez, Cameron Booser, C.K. Irby. Some players who have already been eligible for the Rule 5 draft that may merit consideration: Jason Wheeler, Niko Goodrum, Travis Harrison, Zack Jones (again), Felix Jorge.

    Today is National Gumbo Day! The CEO of the company I work at is from Louisiana, and makes an incredible gumbo... Didn't really experience it until I moved to the south. Today is also National Take Your Parents to Lunch Day! If only my parents weren't 1,500+ miles away, I'd do that on this beautiful fall day. Today is also National Freethought Day! A day to encourage people to be free thinkers and to base opinions on facts, science, logic and reason. Someone please CC Donald Trump to do this once. Finally, on this day in 1810, Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen throw a wedding party, and all of Munich, Germany is invited. The party was a big success, so they repeated the same party next year.... and the year after that, so on and so forth. This party is now known as Oktoberfest! http://funglobaladventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/germany_oktoberfest_opening.jpg

    I'm sure there will be a new article about this eventually. Now that the season is over, has anyone's opinions changed on who to protect and not to protect?
  25. Vanimal46
    I hope that's what they do... Don't know much about English, but from Shane's breakdown of Granite he sounds like a fine 4th OF option. Both options have to be better at fielding the ball than Grossman.
