    Heh... excellent article right here: https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2020/2/13/21136476/jim-crane-houston-astros-sign-stealing-apology
  2. David HK
    Uh-oh... ya think teams around the league will be puttin' on the foil?

    No clean hands, and no clean hearts, either. The Asstros have really set themselves up to be Evil Empire, Jr. From the despicable Brandon Taubman espisode, and the way they handled it, to the current day, where they're STILL not handling it, the organization has carved a path to being the next franchise that everybody roots against. Thanks, RBS, for this primer on so many public "apologies" that sports figures, celebs, and others use. There are few things that p*ss me off more than these lukewarm non-apologies that follow this same pattern over and over again. (My all-time favorite: "It's not who I am...") Moreover, the people who use them don't seem to realize that their words don't just dissipate in the air after they're said, they live on forever in the digital ether. They can never escape their mealy-mouthed, limp, stale mutterings, and the reflections on their character. It's also a primer that any parent can use as a fine example of how NOT to stand up and be an honorable man or a woman in this world. Now, I'm going to get busy planning my next vacation to Greely. You know, just in case.

    What specifically they didn't like about the medical report was that their fans were caning them over the deal. They claimed to find something they didn't like in order to save face, and maybe their clown-shoe-wearing jobs.

    Couldn't happen to a nicer club. Except maybe the Yankees.
  6. David HK
    He.... sent... his appetizer back.... again?!? Where is he? Lemme at that guy!
  7. David HK
    I wanted Walker.
  8. David HK
    No Pineda, No Hill, No Impact Starter? No.

    That's a really good debriefing on the JD topic. (Other than Mardy Fish being more famous as a tennis player ;-) ) I hope, as well, that this is a harbinger of breaking that old mold of being "in on" talented players, and "just missing out," ad infinitum-- making the longest damn winters in the league even longer with no glimmer of summer hope from a big FA signing... Thanks, Nick!

    Heh... probably when he hits another damn wall at full tilt again...
  11. David HK
    I keep tellin' folks, we're gonna be on one or the other end of a heckuva lot of 11-9 scores this year...
  12. David HK
    Another starter? No, they have starters aplenty. A quality, high-level starter? Yes. Desperately.
  13. David HK
    This is awesome news. Now, let's trade for a quality starter, or we're gonna have to be winning a lot of games by 11-9 or so.

    What an intriguing scroll through the espn site- 1st article, Twins sign Donaldson. Next article, Cora fired. Wow. I hate the thought of anybody losing their job, but sometimes it's justified. I believe it is in this case, and I wonder if Beltran will be next.
  15. David HK
    Well, that shoe may be yet to drop, but in light of the evidence given so far, Cora and Beltran both need to be spanked- hard. And both of them Mlb managers? No way those slimy dudes should walk, or get a slap on the wrist. We'll see.
  16. David HK
    As a UND grad, I can only be about halfway happy about NDSU winning.
  17. David HK
    Welp, 'spose I'll just wait then. There's just something so, so familiar about this Twins off-season, let's see, what is it? The fact that we didn't address problem #1- a quality stater, and problem #1A- another quality starter? Patched that over with a couple of the usual bargain-bin creaky reclamation projects, and called it a day? Where have we seen that before? The utter embarrassment of whom we sent to the mound in the playoff didn't make an impact on the FO? 101 wins, a murderous offense that may even be better next year, a fairly weak division, why weren't at least a couple of quality SPs clamoring to come here? (And no, we were never getting Cole or Steven, but there were others). OK, I'll wait. 3... 2... 1...
  18. David HK
    Well, why would he sign here? The FO has already signaled it's not serious about competing by not grabbing an impact starter.
  19. David HK
    Jeepers, the ghost of Clarence Darrow nearly talked me into it... Nearly.
  20. David HK
    Gee, what a surprise. Diddle around, miss out on the top free agents to address our #1 need, scrape the bottom of the burned-out dumpster for shot-in-the-dark vets, and call it a day. Well, maybe they're making an actual run at Donaldson, but last I heard, he's not a starting pitcher, so... We bludgeoned teams with the long ball last year. That may not be the case with next year's baseball. And I don't know if anyone informed the FO, but it's pitching that wins in the playoffs. If we get there again.
  21. David HK
    Not long. Never as long as you think, especially with less $ than the yanks or dodgers. It's open now, but we've already p*ssed away the chance to fill our #1 need. Watch out for those white Sox, and I mean already this year, not the next ones to come.
  22. David HK
    Good thing buzz words will ignite this front office. Obviously, obtaining quality starting pitching doesn't.
  23. David HK
    Hm. Young nucleus of offensive production, major rotation needs in order to compete. Sounds like another team I know. Except one team takes the risk and rolls the dice to improve, and the other doesn't.
  24. David HK
    Welp, nothing like consistency. This sucks. Ryu was the guy I really wanted, and was in our means without breaking the whole bank. What happened in those playoffs last year was an embarrassment, with the guys we threw out there on the mound, and eveyone knows what our- and many other teams''- #1 priority has to be. But hey, at least we kept to the script. The Minny Way- the same script we always follow- build a competitive team over time,1st round playoff greasing, (nearly always to the Yanks), keeping with the script. An opportunity to follow up on a good season and pick up some help, but when when it's time to bite the bullet, we don't, keeping with the script. Dragging our feet, hanging on for dear life to an abundance of prospects that may or may not pan out, while even the 2nd tier guys get locked away, keeping with the script. Then, most likely, scraping the bottom of the barrel for yet another reclamation project, keeping with the script. Heh... even the Vikings kept with the script today- a totally uninspiring, embarrassing performance when it's all on the line. The O doesn't capitalize on what the D hands them, time and again, and get spanked in a big game by the Pack, right in front of the home fans. Now, we may be on our way to another meeting with them, in their park on a wintry day, and yet another Minny One-and-Done. Again, keeping with the script Ain't it time to get a new damn writer?
  25. David HK
    Tommy Milone's still out there. Just sayin'.
