    Probably this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG8IkUoZ6j0 Or something by Nsync or 98 Degrees.

    Are we talking high school prom? Or middle school dance?

    Dinger, back me up on this. There was nothing better than walking into a classroom in the 90's/early 2000's and seeing this in front of the classroom... http://ww3.bergen.edu/library/photos/media/TVC.jpg

    You have that gift of attracting everyone to a thread!

    Another great thing about back to school was recess! I remember whether it was sunny, raining, or snowing outside, we always gathered together to play touch football, kickball, or four square.

    Bingo. I think I read Gleeman or another blogger somewhere that the Twins for 2017 can build their starting lineup for $35-40 million. That's pretty dang cheap, especially when Mauer's taking a huge chunk of that budget. If they wanted to overpay for 3-4 years of Ramos or Wieters right now, I think they could pull it off. In the near future though, I want there to be enough in the budget to give healthy extensions to Sano, Kepler, and hopefully Buxton/Berrios if/when they turn the corner.

    What were some of the Canadian lunch specials in elementary/middle school for you, North?

    Agree 100%. I'm bought in on trading Dozier this winter to improve the pitching staff. It's the unpopular choice, but I don't see any other way to improve the rotation for 2017-2018.
  9. Vanimal46
    Do you believe the Twins are going to extend a 31 year old Dozier for $100 million when his contract expires? Do you also believe the Twins with their internal options can transform their rotation from the worst in the game to a competent, average rotation? I don't... Not without looking outside for help. There's a lot of assumptions made on Gonsalves' part that he's only going to keep progressing without any regressing. Haven't we made that mistake 2 years in a row with all of the awesome RP prospects we've been waiting on?

    I also remember the turkey gravy stuff over mashed potatoes! I'm very much intrigued with pizza boats... Do explain.
  11. Vanimal46
    Another great thing about back to school... Is school lunch! School lunches I'm sure are night and day different than when we went to elementary/middle/high school. My favorite school lunches were taco day, and square pizza day! What were yours?
  12. Vanimal46
    Yoga pants started becoming incredibly popular when I was 14-15 years old... It was really the perfect storm.

    Say that to Chief, who still manages to put on his Sunday best every morning!

    That's what I love about these college girls... I keep getting older, and they stay the same age. Alright alright alright! http://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/wooderson.jpg
  15. Vanimal46
    Women in their 20's don't wear yoga pants for exercise.... Men having a fascination about them should be obvious. It shows off your figure!
  16. Vanimal46
    Same. If 35 year old Mauer is still starting 120+ games in the field something went very wrong.

    Fangraphs penned their own article about this topic. "Rob Manfried and the Dangers of Unintended Consequences"
  18. Vanimal46
    This conversation is above my pay grade as a fan.... All I know is someone needs to fix Berrios, because he's the only internal option that could realistically make a difference for this rotation in 2017. I really don't want to think about the possibility that Berrios is another #4/5 starter.
  19. Vanimal46
    It would be simple to get out from underneath Santiago.... Just don't tender him a contract for arbitration. The way starting pitching looks, I just don't see a way this team can be competitive in 2017. I suppose they could try to take a flyer on a Brett Anderson type in FA. As far as internal solutions, I don't see any real difference makers coming into play soon. Which leaves the only other alternative they could go, and that's through trades. They should trade from an organizational strength, and dangle Dozier this winter for a real difference maker in the rotation.
  20. Vanimal46
    With the current state of the pitching staff, and reinforcements still being at best 1.5 years away, I just can't see them putting it all together. I'm 100% bought in on trading Dozier this off-season. Especially coming off a career season like he's having. The offense appears to be good enough to compete. The defense and pitching will continue to hold the team back from doing so. Dozier is our best trade chip, and could get real value in return, such as a front line starting pitching option. It's going to be a tough pill to swallow initially, but there's no other way to improve the pitching for 2017-2018.

    Deadspin posted an article "Hot to Get By In the Minors On $1,500 a Month" and how Matt Pare, a catcher in the Giants organization, budgets in a particular week on that budget.
  22. Vanimal46
    For those that love the Olympics, $25 seems very reasonable to skip the fluff and give you a few live feeds/events to follow.
  23. Vanimal46
    I'm not sure. I don't have cable, so most everything Olympics related I watched was over-the-air content, unless I was at a bar someplace. I don't recall ever seeing an ad saying "Watch all of your favorite Olympics coverage on the Rio 24/7 App!"
  24. Vanimal46
    Whether it's for the Red Sox or another team, I think if someone gave Vargas 550 ABs, he'd be a .240-.250 hitter with 25 HRs.
  25. Vanimal46
    A lot of broadcasting companies are going to be complaining about this if they do not evolve. Provide easier ways to stream the content without the need of a cable subscription if this is a dire situation for them. There's so many shows and content that demand out attention these days... so you're exactly right. We don't care to watch tv about things we don't care about.
