    As Mike Tice once said "Enjoy the season!" I'm trying not to think about the inevitable heart breaking loss that will come in January or February.

    Who had the most correct this season where they can change their title to "Nostradamus 2016"?

    For a 4-5 year period in time, our family had an RV that we used to camp out on traveling baseball weekends, etc. One of our RV trips was visiting the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore. My goodness is that a boring trip in the car when you're 12-13 years old. Mount Rushmore is a sight to see though. I remember seeing all of the signs for Wall Drug, advertising their "free ice water". Being 12-13 and not knowing anything better, I was thinking this must be some special ice water if they keep advertising it! We stopped there, and it's pretty over rated from my memory.

    "So what would you say, you do here?" - Derek Falvey and new GM to Neil Allen http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/8637544b7ce0644ac9a08600/the-bobs.jpg

    Who's going to win it all?

    Today appears to be my day! Today is National Taco Day! There's 2 food items that I could eat every day of the year... One is pizza, and the second is tacos. I will most certainly be celebrating this day! What's your go-to place for a taco? Today is also National Vodka Day! Favorite alcohol, ranked: - Beer - Vodka - Wine - Rum - Whiskey - dirt - vomit -Getting struck by a bus - Jägermeister Today is also National Golf Lover's Day! If we're not able to watch the Twins, you will find me on a golf course. It's a very frustrating sport, but for some reason I love it. Finally, on this day in 1927, Danish-American sculptor Gutzon Borglum and a crew of 400 people begin the construction of a well known monument in South Dakota... This sculpture took over 10 years to complete, and most shocking of all, there were no fatalities! Who has taken a trip to see Mount Rushmore?

    FINAL UPDATE: Caleb Joseph achieves MLB immortality. 132 at bats. 0 RBI. No other player in MLB history since the stat was tracked in 1920 can say they went an entire season without driving in a run.

    FYI John, Gleeman's microphone was cutting in and out really bad on this particular episode. It was really tough to listen to when he was fading in and out.
  11. Vanimal46
    I don't remember where I heard this.... maybe Gleeman and the Geek? That the success rate of Perkins' surgery is 10% for him to return to pitching.
  12. Vanimal46
    I'm sure he nearly peed his pants from laughter after reading all of the Major League references during the Cleveland series.

    Chicago White Sox Manager Robin Ventura steps down, and they just hired Rick Renteria to take over. Renteria was the bench coach for the White Sox, and is the only Latino born manager in the MLB.... Sad, really.
  14. Vanimal46
    Colorado Rockies manager Walt Weiss steps down from the role this afternoon. He finishes the season with a 75-87 record. The team's best record since 2010.
  15. Vanimal46
    We had a regular season thread... Might as well make an off-season thread to track signings, firings, trades, etc.
  16. Vanimal46
    "Through 162 games, the Twins trailed in 139 of them. In 86% of the games they played this season, Minnesota was losing at some point." This stat sticks out as mind blowing to me. Wow. I wonder how many times it was a result of the bullpen blowing a lead?

    Brock, I was searching Vikings Journal on iPad/iPhone last night and earlier today. It's been redirecting me to a spam site where "I've won a Free iPad!" with no back tab to return to VJ. Using Safari on the apple products. So far it's worked well on a PC.
  18. Vanimal46
    If we can envision a scenario where Molitor is let go by June/July next season, then let's cut bait right now. Let Falvey bring in the staff he feels is a good fit for the new philosophy/culture he's trying to implement in the organization.
  19. Vanimal46
    We don't want to scare him off yet... Maybe once he's settled in after a month or 2.
  20. Vanimal46
    Congrats and welcome aboard Falvey! Now, let's see who's the #2 and #3 person reporting to him. It should be a fun off-season watching him build up the staff.
  21. Vanimal46
    RB has earned his 4th straight MVP award with 1,350 CAR (clicks above replacement) But we've got some up and coming players who have developed faster than anticipated. Maybe even a couple of future all-stars! The future is bright....
  22. Vanimal46
    Absolutely agree. I'm just happy that we saw a very hot month out of Buxton after seeing him swinging at everything in April/May. Who knows, we've been projecting him to be a leadoff type of guy.. Maybe he turns into a 20-25 HR #5 or #6 hitter. That wouldn't be a bad thing either!
  23. Vanimal46
    This is exactly how Falvey and Co. needs to operate as they're planning for the off-season. Let's assume they'll pitch a total of 0 innings next year and plan accordingly. If either/or do come back, I'd be very conservative with their rehab.. Let them get their bearings back in AAA until June/July-ish.
  24. Vanimal46
    I know it's only a month... but I can certainly appreciate this stat line from Buxton in Sept/Oct. .287/.357/.653 9 HR 24 RBI 17(!!) XBH....
  25. Vanimal46
    WINNAH! Get to end game threadin on a good note.
