    I've had a difficult time trying to master the art of baking... As much as I love cookies, cinnamon rolls, and cakes, for some reason every time I attempt baking them they come out ruined I think we've all taken the "here and gone" approach for game threads this season. Most of the time when I'm here, I try to talk as little about baseball as humanly possible. There's so many shows on TV these days that I need to catch up on.... Game of Thrones is one that I've been told countless times to catch up on, but it's intimidating to do so. The tried and true activity instead of game threading is to drink and forget the game is going on!

    What do we have to learn from you, Generation X? Don't you know we can watch youtube videos, or ask Siri to figure out anything?! Also, could you repeat that part at the beginning? I was tweeting my friends and planning on taking 6 weeks PTO. Hope that's cool!

    Are we having a millenial party on this thread? If so, I'm in!
  4. Vanimal46
    Boy I hope not. I saw enough of the failed experiment at SS last season to never want to see that happen again.
  5. Vanimal46
    I don't know about that. Hamstring injuries can happen to anyone, whether you're 100 lbs or 300 lbs....
  6. Vanimal46
    So would I for Brian Dozier.
  7. Vanimal46
    In this hypothetical are the Twins in 1st place and playing the equivalent of Danny Santana at 2B? I probably would. As was proven with Alex Meyer, another top 100 prospect I believe when the Twins acquired him, a lot can happen between A ball and his anticipated arrival to the MLB.
  8. Vanimal46
    That seems like a reasonable return for Dozier. I would hope that top 100 prospect is a SP or a C who can make their MLB debut next season.
  9. Vanimal46
    No need to tell me. I got the ball rolling on this thread of how bad Santana has been
  10. Vanimal46
    Arcia and Santana are both fringe players, I think we can all agree to that. However, athletic light hitting players are certainly more readily available than players that can hit for power.
  11. Vanimal46
    I get where you're coming from. It's a paper thin rationale, but that's probably what the Twins are thinking. We can chalk it up to having no backup plan in CF, and them being fascinated by a player who's been nothing but terrible offensively the last 2 years.
  12. Vanimal46
    Well first of all, Castillo is 28 years old. There's not a lot of growth left there until he hits the decline years. Second, the Red Sox are in the thick of the AL East race. If he's not going to help a contending club, there's no reason to keep him on the 25 man roster. Big differences between Arcia and Castillo's ages, and where the organizations are currently at.
  13. Vanimal46
    That is a very fun fact. Yet Santana is getting the lion's share of ABs. It's truly mind boggling how that is possible.
  14. Vanimal46
    He could play middle IF and the OF. Yet he's starting exclusively in the OF. You would think if he's truly a utility guy he'd have starts all over the field, right?

    Happy Monday! Hope everyone enjoyed their Father's Day Weekend! I'm trying to waste some time at the airport before I fly back to Austin. Today is National Vanilla Milkshake Day! To me, that's a little bland, but every once in a while it hits the spot! If I'm getting a milkshake, it's going to be strawberry, or mint chocolate chip. Today is also National Ice Cream Soda Day! Just in case you missed out on Root Beer Float Day a few days ago, you can redeem yourself! Why limit yourself to just root beer? Go crazy today with orange soda! Today is also National American Eagle Day! No, not the store that pre-teens shop at. This is a day to celebrate the bald eagle, and how awesome it is. If I was posting from a laptop, I'd try to find a video of a bald eagle.

    Other than speed, what function does he provide? He should be considered an OF only now since that's all he's played this year. He's a very poor hitting OF. This may be the first 100+ loss team I've followed that supposedly has too many good players for too few spots on a major league roster.
  17. Vanimal46
    I'm not sold on Arcia being David Ortiz 2.0. That's a bit of a stretch. Some of the handwringing about the situation which is warranted, IMO, is choosing D Santana over Arcia. I'm starting to sound like a broken record here. Santana is just as brutal offensively. If not the worst offensive players in baseball the last 2 years. But he can play anywhere in the OF and middle infield they say! He has started 0 games in the IF this season... So the Twins swapped out someone who could provide power potential for the team with a guy who provides no positive value besides speed for the team. That's my issue with it.
  18. Vanimal46
    Very sorry for your loss Bark. 40 years isn't long enough to leave this Earth. Cancer is a bitch. Know that you have people that care about you here if you ever need anything.
  19. Vanimal46
    Now that Cleveland won, does Minnesota take over the title of saddest sports market in America?
  20. Vanimal46
    Not a chance. That was 13 pages of pure anger.
  21. Vanimal46
    His golf whisper voice isn't that great.
  22. Vanimal46
    Joe Buck is one of the best at football and baseball broadcasts. Golf doesn't suit him one bit.
  23. Vanimal46
  24. Vanimal46
    Perhaps a personal showcase for the Yanks? Considering they're on their 5th 1B of the season so far. We can only hope.
  25. Vanimal46
    Every time I see D Santana in CF all I can do is shake my head in disappointment.
