  1. Wasn't sure since tots are in the potato family... And also fried. Next topic: Best fast-food chain to get fries.... Go.
  2. Pictured: Jim Pohlad and TR take some time to cut loose after a rough first half of the season. http://iruntheinternet.com/lulzdump/images/gifs/simpsons-mr-burns-smithers-money-fight-13737062870.gif
  3. Today is National French Fry Day! There are so many different ways to break down french fries.. Let's first start with the style of french fry in a ranked list: - curly - waffle - standard fast food cut - wedges - chips style (like in fish and chips) - crinkle - getting hit by a car - Smiley face fries Hot take: Are tator tots considered fries?? Your thoughts. Today is also National Franks N' Beans Day! I can honestly say it's been a good 15 years since I had Franks N Beans... Maybe today should be the day I try it out again!
  4. Are you watching sports tonight? Hell no! Because it's the one day of year where there aren't any sports games on TV. Luckily for us, tonight is the season 2 premiere of Mr. Robot on USA Network! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=YibylhkLwGo Apparently the first hour of the season premiere "leaked" on social media sites earlier this week... There are a ton of questions to answer this season, and I've been hearing the show is taking a dark direction. Can't wait!! If you need to catch up on season 1, which is 10 episodes, you can find them on Hulu, the USA Network app, and perhaps other places.
  5. You're free and in the clear now, Bark. The FBI has stopped looking for you after you pulled off the greatest robbery riddle 45 years ago. Didn't they know they could look on Twins Daily to see you're alive and well?
  6. Concur. I'm on the fence about Santana. Today I'm leaning towards trading him to get out of the commitment for his age 34-35 seasons. That could change tomorrow for all I know. Nolasco and Milone are most likely DFA candidates. Plouffe I'm not expecting anything of substance in a return. If there is zero interest by August, he can ride out the rest of the year in a bench role. A Dozier bidding war would be great.
  7. Yeah I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt with the 750 PAs. I figured there's a chance some bottom feeding team could give him 400-500 PAs as a 27-28 year old to see if he can be an MLB player.
  8. Couldn't resist....
  9. I will be surprised if Walker has more than 750 career ABs in the major leagues.
  10. You know you're a Canadian when this sentence is typed out.
  11. When it comes to all-star voting in baseball, there's a mix of players that get voted in on career accolades, and players voted in on current season success. Did Derek Jeter deserve to be an all-star 14 times? Or did name recognition and past accolades help him make the roster? I'd say a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B.
  12. HA, and you guys thought Giancarlo Stanton's 61 HRs were impressive yesterday. Arcia hit 63 BOMBS yesterday with this: http://www.littletikes.com/content/ebiz/shop/invt/611957/611957_totsports-t-ball-set_large.jpg He's going to start the 2nd half of the season RED HOT.
  13. To piggyback off of mikelink's post, I imagine Meyer's going to tumble a few spots on the list, and potentially Reed off completely to make room for the on the rise guys. Would Randy Rosario also be considered to fall off the list? I've read your reviews that he throws hard with good secondary stuff. You would think that should generate more strikeouts than he has so far, right? Is he just not getting his k pitch in the right location? Or more of a pitch to contact guy?
  14. Want us to prepare you on saying no? Here's some test questions for you: Would you trade Dozier for Johan Santana today? Do you want Vance Worley back on the Twins? Would you like raw onions on your salad at lunch?
  15. No to geocaching, but Pokemon Go is pretty much the same thing... I tried Pokemon Go yesterday while out on a walk. I can see why the game is addicting. Not sure if I'm going to continue playing the game for long.
  16. Good morning! Hope you all enjoyed a nice mojito on the deck, balcony, or in your backyard yesterday. Today is National Pecan Pie Day! I love me some pecan pie! One of the major benefits of moving down south.... Today is also National Max Scherzer Day! AKA National Different Colored Eyes Day... I don't know anyone personally that has different colored eyes. Do you? Today is also National Eat Your Jello Day! Or for Chief, today is Tuesday..... Finally, on this day in 1862, the Medal of Honor was created by President Lincoln to honor Army personnel who went above and beyond the call of duty.
  17. You could convince me to move him to #1 on my list too. Quite frankly I've never seen Giolito or Reyes throw 1 pitch, so I'm basing my list off of the hype on fangraphs.
  18. That is true. He's played in 90% of the Royals games this year and the previous 2 seasons prior to this. Still, with the lack of good defensive catchers that can also hit, I'd take him in a heart beat.
  19. I'm surprised no one included Perez on their list. He'd be the top target for me in this hypothetical scenario on who we'd trade Buxton for.... Any of the starting pitchers would also work for me - I'd probably rank them Gray - Reyes - Giolito - Martinez - Teheran.
  20. We've reached the point where no one even wants to take on Jepsen's salary.... sad, really.
  21. I can agree with that assessment of Palka vs. ABW. Palka appears to have a better skill-set than ABW that should translate to the majors.
  22. I'll probably have to jump on this game. Like Mike, I try to get a walk around the neighborhood every day after work. May have to call back home to see if mom saved my Pokemon cards from back in the day...
  23. Interesting. I mean it sounds intriguing where I may want to play. Does the game give you any insight when you're walking around on where the Pokemon are hiding? Like say you're at an intersection in DT Minneapolis. Would it give a notification saying "Hey bro, Charzard's hiding somewhere in a 3 block radius of you."
  24. Couple of questions that will make me decide whether or not I want to jump in on this game: - Does the app kill your battery as you're out walking around finding Pokemon? - Is the game similar to the Gameboy games where you're searching for characters, battle to win the characters, then challenge your friends to battles? EDIT: You already kind of answered the 2nd question.
  25. I'm confused as to what made Pokemon cool again? The last time I even thought about Pokemon has to be 10-15 years ago playing Pokemon Red on the Gameboy Color.
