    CC to Craig. You've got a new destination to look into. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/not-a-drill-seti-is-investigating-a-possible-extraterrestrial-signal-from-deep-space/ar-AAid9oY?OCID=ansmsnnews11

    Sano has done just fine this season. But, compared to the early season predictions, where most all of us said 30+ HRs and generating MVP votes? Yeah, we were drinking the kool-aid.

    This scene set the tone for the rest of the movie that Willy Wonka was full of mystery, and things you'll see may be pure imagination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz9jc5blzRM

    Luckily this team is avoiding all of the big boys in the conference. No Ohio State, Michigan, or Michigan State on the schedule. They have a real chance of finishing the year with a good record.

    We were all drinking the Twins kool-aid on Sano, Buxton, and for the most part Escobar. It's too bad our vision didn't come to fruition about JR Murphy getting 60+% of the games by June. Good thing we didn't predict pitchers, otherwise we'd all look silly

    Didn't think Confesor Lara was a real name... but it is! Pretty unique name for a pitcher.

    Bravo! It's posts like these that should be pinned for all to see. That way when the narrative of Dozier hitting more balls the other way comes up again, we can point to this.

    So far we have 2 yes, 44 maybe, and 72 no response. Hope that helps!

    This nugget was on KLaw's chat on Friday: Brent: Is there something fundamentally flawed with Minnesota’s player development (looking at Berrios, Sano, Buxton, etc.), or is this just normal growing pains / the inherent unpredictability in prospects. I know projecting prospects is inherently a difficult task, but it just feels like there’s got to be more here…the player development seems fundamentally flawed. Thoughts? How do you even go about fixing something like this? Klaw: I think the hitters’ issues are more the coaching staff – and I’ve mentioned that before – but with Berrios, look at all the pitching prospects who’ve come up this year and struggled out of the chute. It’s not just him and not just the twins.

    I love this gif so much. Never fails to make me laugh.

    Posting these are my shiny new toy on the site! Perhaps my next shiny new toy is video game thread intros!

    Well, we can check off taking strike three calls and throwing a ball from LF to the very edge of the infield. I'm not positive Platoon has a pulse.

    Can't speak. Something's coming up. http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww308/zeitgeist10/DumbAndDumberGag.gif

    Slides right into CF like a glove. Makes me sick.

    Luckily because of the internet, he'll always be remembered with the millions of Wonka condescending memes out there. LOVED him in Willy Wonka. A movie I've seen, oh about 200 times.

    Good post. I agree completely that pitching and defense need to be the main focus in turning around this organization. In fairness to the starting pitching staff, TR did make an effort to shore things up by signing Nolasco, Hughes, and Erv. Nolasco's injuries and ineffectiveness caused a lot of fans to be upset, me included. Erv has worked out so far, minus the PED suspension. Hughes would have been fine if they didn't double down on the investment after 1 season. Going into 2017 it appears the rotation is even worse off than it was in 2013... Not sure how that is possible, but unless trades are made, that's what it will look like. The defensive woes IMO are inexcusable. Something has been lost in philosophy/communication between the minor leagues and MLB team. If this team can't pitch well, they better field the ball well.

    So much wasted buffalo out there on the trail! I remember being pumped shooting a huge buffalo in the game, only to be disappointed with how inefficient the person was carrying it back to the wagon.

    The AL MVP race is going to be fun. Altuve with his video game like numbers. Donaldson, Trout, and Betts in the mix. I'm rooting for Altuve personally. NL MVP: Pick your poison from the Cubs. Bryant or Rizzo.

    Because of this season, the anger in our brains has taken over... If I've learned anything from Inside Out, don't let anger take over your brain. http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/insideout-newtrailer.jpg

    Were you updating friends and family with things that you'd see on Oregon Trail? Something along the lines of: "Mrs. Snydes has typhoid" "There was a fire in our wagon. Lost 1 wheel axle and 4 pounds of food." "I have been bitten by a snake"

    That's how I remember Carmen San Diego. That and Oregon Trail were my jams!

    Did you make a stop at Off The Bone BBQ, RB?

    The forums appear to be pretty toxic today.. Let's have some fun here instead. Today is National Chop Suey Day! It's been a while since I had Chinese food, and this is sounding mighty tasty today! This is sad on this day history, but in 2005, Hurricane Katrina came in and wrecked havoc on New Orleans and the SE of the US. Can't believe it's already been 11 years since it happened.

    They're no longer trying to make moves for the future at the moment. Nor are they even rewarding players who deserve a call-up. This is a .260 AAA hitter with no power, or anything of value to provide for an MLB club. Embarrassing.
