  1. Should have went home at lunch and showered. I turn into a sweaty blob when listening to hot sports takes.
  2. I tuned in for a few minutes on sports talk radio, where we saying nothing but HOT SPORTS TAKES, over the lunch hour. Whoever was hosting that show was talking about the timing part of this announcement. He makes the announcement right before the MLB rosters are expanded. Is this a promotional stunt to sell some jerseys? If he was serious, wouldn't he announce it over the winter and hold try-outs then? Would he really go to rookie ball league and earn his way up to the MLB? So much hotness in 5 minutes worth of listening.
  3. That was a sad press conference to watch. Press conferences are always harder to listen to when it's injuries taking them out of the game they love.
  4. This probably wasn't the deadliest tornado in MN history, but the St. Peter, MN tornado in 1998 sticks out to me as the weirdest weather related disaster in my lifetime. Who would have guessed a family of 14 tornadoes would strike during the end of March? https://www.minnpost.com/minnesota-history/2013/03/when-wind-screamed-looking-back-1998-st-peter-tornado
  5. Did Chief and diehard set up cameras in my office again? How did you know that's exactly what I did this morning immediately after reading this news?
  6. We may be blasting this jam during the 2nd game tonight... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzFnYcIqj6I
  7. I didn't get to experience any of these awesome weather related disasters first hand... I've heard stories about that infamous Halloween blizzard in 1991, but I had better things on my mind at the time... Like bouncing in a chair, or eating Gerber baby food. I don't know, whatever 18 month olds have on their minds...
  8. Hi, everybody! http://blog.nextdayflyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/dr-nick-riviera-billboard-the-simpsons.jpg
  9. Knowing that information I would have chosen Jason Wheeler on 4 days rest. He needs to be evaluated for a potential 40 man add anyways this winter.
  10. I'd prefer signing a legitimate veteran OF as a stop gap so Buxton can earn his way into the lineup. Somebody like Carlos Gomez for example. In a scenario like that, Grossman can still stay on as the 4th OF, DSan's off the team, and Escobar takes over as the utility player.
  11. Not a fan of this call-up. Feels like a throw away call-up that won't help make any decisions on upcoming 40 man additions for 2017.
  12. I'm jealous. I love thunderstorms. Very relaxing...
  13. We're letting it ride until Erv's arm is detached from his body! Let's get him some runs.
  14. I like the aggressive move Danchatty. I'm used to calling the managers Kelly, Gardy, and Molly. It's habitual now.
  15. Are we letting Erv go the distance here? What's our pitch count?
  16. Well, maybe an additional 4-5 starts on top of that when they play in November!
  17. Agreed. Whoever claims Gomez should come to an agreement that he's staying at least for 2017. It could also be a way to eliminate the need for DSantana... Rosario-Gomez-Kepler Grossman as the 4th OF and Buxton buying time in AAA sounds pretty intruiging!
  18. Quite frankly, I'm downright impressed with that selfie given the circumstances. We're talking about a guy who's used to 68 degree temps in February. Instead, he's braving the elements in Wabasha, MN... -10 and a wind chill of -35. For what? Going ice fishing?
  19. Yep in May it was a record setting month for rain totals, and it continued for the first 2-3 weeks in June. Since then it's been bone dry, sunny, and hot.
  20. Yeah why not Cleveland? Especially now that Brantley had another set back and is likely gone the rest of the season. Seems like a perfect low risk/ high reward opportunity for a team like them hunting for the playoffs.
  21. We could use the rain down here in Texas. I think it's been stormy one time here since June.
  22. Back injuries suck in general. Hot take I know. Once had a herniated disc in my back from over swinging in golf, and I never knew how crippling back injuries were before that. Wouldn't wish a back injury on my worst enemy. Feel better soon May!
  23. I've got a Kurt Suzuki card... Umm, go fish? I think I'm catching onto this game.
  24. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wsMi9OBwtpg/TWctxDeflPI/AAAAAAAAACA/dWAFw2Mpyhs/s1600/imgsrv.gocomics.gif
  25. In honor of it being disgustingly hot in Austin today...
