  1. 4. The U.S Postal Service – July 26th in the year 1775. That was the date that the U.S. Postal Service was created. The very first piece of mail was sent from Philadelphia all the way to Boston. The trip took 8 full days on horseback through rain sleet and snow. The mailbox was not invented yet and the mail carrier was forced to return to Philadelphia with the mail. Today is National Postal Worker Day, AND National U.S. Postage Stamp Day! So take some time to thank your mail person. Since I live in an apartment, I couldn't tell you what my mail person looks like.
  2. Yes. If you're not learning or consistently honing your craft, someone else is going to pass you in your path to success. Name any successful person in the world today, and they'll attribute part of their success to constant learning and adjustments over their long career.
  3. Happy Friday!! I hope y'all have awesome plans for the upcoming 3 day weekend. Today is National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day! So if you're feeling like ice cream, don't get the traditional vanilla, chocolate, strawberry... Go with a flavor you'd never consider before! There's an ice cream shop here in Austin called Lick, and they have very unique flavors of ice cream. Blackberry, Lime, and Basil may be the flavor I'll try today! Today is also National Gingersnaps Day! For some reason I think of gingersnaps during Christmas, not during the 4th of July weekend. Either way they're delicious!
  4. Bet you never would have dreamed when you first started writing scouting reports and blogs that one day, a porn bot on Twitter would be retweeting your work!
  5. “I don’t want a guy to get buried up here." Hmm, that's something new that Polanco, Kepler the first time, Meyer, Tonkin the first 2 option years, and many others haven't heard before. “I don’t believe in ‘Let’s let him learn up here.’ I don’t like that at all." Then it's impossible to promote any prospect with this train of thought, right? Not even Joe Mauer comes up from AA or AAA without needing to learn at the MLB level. Are there any examples of AA or AAA players that come up and are Mr. Miyagi right off the bat?
  6. I am good with this strategy. The first 3-4 starts won't be any different than the results we've been getting out of Milone lately.
  7. This decision is just another tally in the negative column for Molly. One of many tallies in that column this season.
  8. Something about speed, positional flexibility, and stealing bases?
  9. Sorry I'm lagging a half inning behind here.
  10. D Santana appears to be showing why he deserves a spot on the 25 man roster!
  11. I'm picturing this was the book she had at the game: http://static.musictoday.com/store/bands/93/product_large/WWAM018.JPG
  12. After a *forced* bonding session earlier this season watching the Twins together, that would be something she would do during a baseball game. I chose the wrong season to introduce her to Twins baseball.
  13. Wait, Miss Vanimal is in Chicago right now?
  14. Genesis is another great band. Phil Collins had way too many jams to name in the 80's. Would love to see him in concert. And, according to his wikipedia page, he's out of retirement touring and writing a new album!
  15. Now I know that I'm too young My love has just begun Su-Su-Sussudio oh oh
  16. This is the kind of music I love from the 80's. Also: Depeche Mode, Phil Collins, Zapp, Madonna, and Heart all had several jams during that time. Who danced to this song at the bars in 1988? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypcs4c7ihSo
  17. Can we all admit now that Milone has zero trade value? There's no miracle trade offer coming our way for him. He just needs to remain in AAA or released.
  18. Hair bands is one thing I don't understand at all about the 80's. 80's pop music is a guilty pleasure of mine though.
  19. Jesus, 4 may actually be the line today. What a shame. I don't think he's thrown 5 innings since the Reagan administration....
  20. Anyone want to make a side bet if Milone pitches 6 5 complete innings today?
  21. We're all going to feel so much better when Milone is off of this team. Somebody else please take this AAAA player off of our hands.
  22. Why would the return need to help the team in 2016? This is a lost season.
  23. Plouffe is playing a ton of 1B lately.
  24. Probably the most under-rated player in baseball. A pint-sized beast.
  25. A 2-3 prospect package works for me. All I would ask is one of them is a top 100 prospect, preferably a C or SP.
