    I can't disagree with much of anything Reusse wrote in this column. It's about dang time that a columnist stops beating around the bush and talks about this embarrassing season as it is. I will continue to cross fingers that this is the breaking point and major changes will happen this off-season.

    Yeah it's a weird vendetta he has against Sano this season. I'm not quite sure why he hasn't let that go yet.

    The examples probably aren't fair to Ventura as all hot heads have a different story. One common trait about them is they spend a year or 2 on a team before said team gets sick of their antics. Is Ventura a front of the rotation starter? Or a closer? Why would the Twins need a closer during a multi-year rebuilding effort?

    IMO the big picture is the Royals, who are still very much in contention and lack MLB-ready SP depth, are actively looking to get rid of this player. They would rather take a chance with a replacement level player than let him continue to be in the organization. The pitching ability is there, but there's something going on in his head that's prompting this decision. Hot heads can work out for a year or 2. The Vikings showed that with Percy Harvin... John Rocker with the Braves. Milton Bradley for a year here and there. Eventually it's not going to work out - then what are you left with?

    Good luck to which ever team acquires him. It won't be the Twins and I am perfectly fine with that.

    I must admit Fernando Romero wasn't on my radar at all as far as prospects to follow. Thanks for giving me a new name to read about in the minor league reports.

    It's very possible I could have missed the article on college catchers, but what's the story on Matt Thaiss? If he's good enough to be projected at 19, I wouldn't mind a C at 15...

    He appears to be nearing the end of the end of his very good pitching years. After 9 consecutive seasons of 200+ innings, I'm more surprised his arm still has any life left in it.

    With the volatility of relief pitchers, service time shouldn't matter one bit. That's what we heard all off-season long that relievers aren't consistent and they aren't worth a multiple year contract. Let's get Chargois up here while he's having a hot season.

    Today is National Donald Duck Day! Donald Duck first debuted in 1934! Now that's one old duck. Today is also National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day! I'm a big, big fan of this pie. Today is also National Earl Day! A day to remember the great people named Earl. I'm pretty sure this name is becoming extinct. I can't recall growing up with anyone named Earl.

    Aww I'm sorry North. You're getting an invite too!

    I was hoping someone would pick up on that. Dang it I missed it by 1 number! It's been a few years since I saw that commercial.

    For those that don't follow the Food and other Holidays thread, which, what are you doing with your life?! Today is National Name Your Poison Day! I think we've all heard that phrase at our favorite watering hole. Jerr's drinking Moscow Mules. I'm drinking Pacifico. What's your Poison for the night?
  14. Vanimal46
    In honor of National Name your Poison day, I'm going with Pacifico Cerveza tonight!

    *Presses 8, immediately goes through* "Grounds keeping, this is Tony." "Tony, I think I got transfered to the wrong extension. I was looking to buy playoff tickets." "Seriously? Ha ha hahahahahaha! Have you checked the standings lately? Thanks for the laughs, kid." *Click*

    *Presses 1* We're sorry, all available representatives are speaking to other customers right now. Your call is very important to us. Your call will be answered in the next *2-3* years.

    Had another thought this afternoon: I can't imagine TR's voice mail message is the generic "You have reached (612) 588-8888 please leave your message after the tone." Nor is it "You've reached Terry, you know what to do." I envision Terry having a song as his message. Any ideas what that song would be? Sugarloaf's "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" comes to mind...

    Paris is a bucket list city to visit for me. Glad that you had a blast over there!

    I thought you just liked going to Discos... I pegged you all wrong!

    I wasn't around the thread when the actual game was happening, but I thought the thread was trending towards greatness yesterday! I seem to flip back and forth between anger and acceptance in this 5 stage model. Right when I think I'm in the clear, something makes me mad again! The never ending cycle I suppose.

    For a 23 year old, near MLB-ready, high K rate RP... Hello Terry? Are you out to lunch? I think we could use 1 or 2 of those guys.

    Drinking wine in first class? http://www.bontheball.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/airplane-scene-from-bridesmaids.gif
  24. Vanimal46
    Why?
  25. Vanimal46
    I'm with you on thinking outside the box and taking a chance on a young pitcher with good stuff. I just don't want Ventura's attitude anywhere near this team. Everything should be sunshine and roses for Kansas City coming off a WS title and back-to-back WS berths. If they have a problem with him, there must be something very off-putting about him. I mean, Salvador Perez conveniently jogged slow enough allowing Machado to get his punches in for christ sake.
