    On a team with a very clear lack of leadership, Ventura would be a disaster. I don't care if he throws 110 MPH, who on this team would hold him accountable for his antics?

    There's a Fangraphs article about Ventura that's a good read. This excerpt seals up my view on not wanting Ventura on this team: "Recently, inside the Kansas City Royals’ clubhouse, Yordano Ventura was talking about how he planned on hitting Jose Bautista with a pitch the next time he faced him. The people around Ventura rolled their eyes, tired of the bluster, done with the immaturity, hopeful he was playing fugazi instead of the on-field arsonist they’d seen too many times for their liking. Among his teammates and in the Royals’ front office alike, they’ve long waited for Ventura to grow up, only to end up amazed at how he manages to plumb beneath even his own low standards."

    Since Thorpe was signed 5 years ago, does that mean he needs to be added to the 40 man this off-season? Or do the Twins still have another year or so before that needs to happen?
  4. Vanimal46
    Someone will take a chance on him because of his raw pitching ability. I just don't want the Twins to be that team. I'm not a fan of headcase athletes, and Ventura is certainly a headcase out there.

    We've got some positive national holidays! Today is National Best Friends Day! Do any of you still have best friends from a very young age? I'm fortunate to find 2 buddies where I currently work who have become best friends.. The best friends that I grew up with unfortunately are spread around the country, and it's hard to stay in touch without seeing them often. I suppose that's what happens when you grow up.... Today is also National Upsy Daisy Day! A day to remind you that it's a gift we all get to wake up to face another day, and we should do it positively! Finally, today is National Name Your Poison Day! We've all heard the term at a bar "name your poison". What are you going to drink tonight after work?

    Sounds like you guys have way more productive plans in New Orleans than me. I usually don't make it out of Bourbon Street. Especially after a few hurricane cocktails...

    This new software's going to streamline your entire day! Now before we "go live", let's "circle back" and "pinpoint" how you can "ping" your clients in one easy "process"

    Were you on the same call?! There's nothing that loses my interest more than listening to corporate jargon. You could tell the man was reading line for line off of a script on how this software's going to be GREAT!
  9. Vanimal46
    Stopped by to make sure Wade was on the list. Good for him, and I hope he's on to bigger and better places soon.

    Now that's a bobble head worth keeping!
  11. Vanimal46
    It was a training call on the new software the company installed. Really riveting stuff.
  12. Vanimal46
    I had this thought while on a conference call this afternoon: If they were to make a Nunez bobble head, would they make it with his batting helmet on? Batting helmet almost falling off his head? Or a helmet that falls off when you bobble it?

    Recipe for a good thread: - One old person (preferably a Chief of some kind) - a bag of marshmallows - 1 large alligator - a dash of serial killing - 3 tablespoons of regret for following RiverBrian's lead What else am I missing?

    This guy is also my favorite Florida sports fan. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/02/incredulous.gif Though I must admit, I've caught myself doing the same thing watching the Twins on TV this year.

    It also exists to provide ridiculous news stories that the rest of the country can shake their heads in unison to. Such as a brawl between dads at a little league game, a 6 month old girl setting a water skiing record, or a woman claiming she's playing "Mermaid" while swimming up to houses and robbing them. Florida is the gift that keeps on giving.

    Brilliant! The topic of serials killers is intriguing to me. What they did to victims isn't the intriguing part, just to make it clear. I'm more fascinated as to how they got so messed up in the head to justify doing what they did.
  17. Vanimal46
    Speaking of serial killlers, they have to be close to extinction, right? I can't remember the last time I heard about one in recent memory. I guess that's a good thing we no longer have the Ted Bundy, Zodiac Killer, and Jeffrey Dahmer's of the world.
  18. Vanimal46
    I would think so... Eating marshmallows doesn't require teeth!

    I don't care how old I get... There's nothing better than raiding the refrigerator for leftovers and drinking free beers courtesy of mom and dad.
  20. Vanimal46
    Exactly. We're not seriously considering the option of extending Nunez after being hot for 200 PA are we? This is the definition of insanity....
  21. Vanimal46
    Color me very skeptical of this new Eduardo Nunez. Let's learn from past mistakes like Suzuki and Dozier by selling high on him while we can. IMO the more likely scenario is Nunez slips back into being a .700-.750 OPS player instead of maintaining an .850+ OPS for the foreseeable future.

    Happy Tuesday! Today is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day! I've always loved ice cream, but have not kept much in my apartment because I'd eat too much in one sitting.. Today is also National VCR Day! Ah, the joys of a VCR player. Renting a movie and getting a fine if you don't rewind the tape. Recording over your wedding tape with the series finale of Seinfeld. Does anyone still have a VCR stored away somewhere? If so, hook it up to the TV and live nostalgically today!

    There's the Jose Berrios we've been waiting for! Let's hope for a red-hot June to press the issue of getting him back into the MLB rotation. As far as Chargois is concerned.... http://cdn.meme.am/instances/55696252.jpg Let's get the show on the road, TR!

    You've never been to 5 Guys? They will show you what a bag of fries is...
  25. Vanimal46
    And a twist cone. Maybe the best 89 cents you can spend at McDonald's...
