  1. Hi Brock-  David  from Hong Kong here.  I'm not sure how to go about this, but thought I'd start here with a messge to you-  

    It looks like I'm now Geo-blocked.  Lately, a '403 forbidden' message pops up when I try to access the site.  I've now discovered I can only get here with a Vpn.  I don't mind using one, I do for other purposes, but this is one of my regular, nearly daily online stops, and it would be nice to once again access without one.

    Anything we can do to alleviate this?

    Thanks, David in HK

      Hey David, we've been having huge problems with spam and fake traffic from certain countries, including Hong Kong. Right now, those countries are blocked, as you discovered. I'm going to keep working to come up with a better solution over the winter. Thank you for reaching out, it helps to hear from impacted users.

      Gee, what a quick reply--  Thanks.  

      Not being in any way familiar with website running, I get what you guys must be up against.  That was my first thought when this happened.  Welp, I guess it's Vpn for me, then.  

      Thanks for your rapid response!

  2. That said, we're doing pretty well drafting guys that make the majors for other teams! 😂
  3. Quit stalling, Twins. I've loved the guy, but the Hoskins window closed before he signed with the Brewers. Methinks he'd be close to Ty France productivity at this stage. Get Royce a 1B mitt now, slide Brooks over to 3rd, and let Fitz man SS until we can hustle Culpepper up here. Hurry up.
  4. The biggest problem here is that Falvey is the one picking the next Mgr. He should have already been gone. Or maybe I'm a little butt-hurt because I just watched Louis Varland relieve Toronto's struggling starter in a Game 7, and slam the door on the M's. No way that guy should be a Blue Jay. Thanks, Derek. Side note- just after Louis gets the job done, here comes the godforsaken mlb green thing. Insult to injury. **Edit: OK, spoke too soon. Louie then gave up a dinger to Raliegh.... Uff da, never mind.
  5. Haw haw! Any occasion to celebrate yankee futility is a good day! And how about those Mariners, and that 2nd baseman of theirs? So glad we got the immortal Justin Topa and the sublime Tony DeSclafani instead of that guy!
  6. No. He needs to move to 3rd and Royce to 1st. And both of those dudes need to get their bats going. Fitz can placehold SS, and they need to rush Culpepper up after some St Paul seasoning.
  7. Excellent jog down memory lane, Cody. The only surprise is that there were enough Twins playoff moments to make up 8. 😅
  8. I remember reading on Blue Jay message boards how pissed a lot of folks were to lose the 2 of them.
  9. It wasn't me. I bought a couple of those GD $19 Summits when I was there last summer. That shoulda made a dent.
  10. This transaction means nothing unless Falvey follows him out the door. For all of Rocco's foibles as a manager, the FO has precipitated far more damage, and in an even more profound way. The real tragedy remains, however, that there is no one who can fire the stinking pohlad family.
  11. Ozzie! Ozzie! Ozzie! or even... Torii! Torii! Torii! but it'll probably be Toby Toby Toby.
  12. Probably some hedge fund bros who are gonna wanna squeeze the rest of the juice from this lemon.
  13. My trust is gone, long gone, long ago. I loathe the silver-spoonfed pohlad family with a white-hot temp that was previously reserved only for norm green. And no, those aren't little typos. Those greedy Eh-holes don't even deserve Capital Letters in my book. Heck, the old man first made his fortune putting farmers off their land during the Depression. Tells you about all you need to know.
  14. They do- battling the Brewers for #1 overall seed.
  15. With the current roster and game planning, don't see a lot of 9th inning leads ahead...
  16. I'd sure like to welcome Brock and Danny C back, or either, if possible. Solid experience, and wouldn't break the pohlad's little piggy bank. And I really like Maton. He's into his 30s already, maybe can be had on a 2 yr deal or so? D Williams would be a good guy, too, but I'm old enough to remember another certain Yankee setup man that we booked for our closer... 🤔🤔🤔 And yes, put me in the Festa to the Pen camp.
  17. That Mahle trade always frosts me. Gave up a pair of young sluggers with potential, for a year and change of a whole lotta nuthin.
  18. Welp, we made it through the Storm With a Name. Lotta trees didn't make it, and blocked some roads. One of our usual poop-walk paths got buried. Stuff got tossed around the village a bit, some garden stuff shredded, but hey, free bananas! 🍌 Thanks for the good wishes from Twinkie-Land!
  19. Hey hey! Twinkies got the job done! And the good little girl got her job done just before the storm kicked off again! Good day all around! Now putting my hockey helmet back on, and back behind the couch! 😂
  20. Oh my God, here comes our "closer." 😱😱😱
  21. The mullet twins! I thought it was Outman, too! 😂😂
  22. Lord, don't let him turn into a toad! 🐸
  23. Youre right, he was a big power hitter who mashed a lot of taters in the minors, but never caught on in mlb. IIRC, a contemporary of that 80's Twins core.
  24. HEY! What's Danny C doing pitching to more than 1 batter?!?! And in more than one inning?!?!?!? Isn't that against the rules????
