    The other guys are on scholarship, too. If it wasn't at least somewhat competitive why bother?
  2. theBOMisthebomb
    Does this mean we are the best of the worst or the worst of the best?

    Hey Ricky don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

    Thw two Ss: Saints, scalpers.

    The most important thing I teach my children is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Then, how to be law abiding citizens. Then, that Kirby was the greatest Twin and greatest Minnesota sports figure ever.

    If not now, when? Leads me to think even more that a lot of the material in the Mauer concussion/sunglasses article was just damage control and spin doctoring.

    Combined with the orange uniforms the Os are wearing this looks like a slow pitch softball tournament.
  8. theBOMisthebomb
    Those ugly red uniforms will take some time to get used to.

    What would Buxton's time be in the 40 at the NFL Combine?

    This brings us back to the idea of benching or possibly platooning Joe Mauer. If Sano/Plouffe/Park turn out to be better options as the season progresses then we should look at Ol' Joe grabbing some bench. Let's hope Joe has a bounce back season but at what point does loyalty become stupidity in reference to Joe if we have better options?

    This reminds me that there are still two descendants of Civil War vets that are drawing Social Security benefits today (the most recent article I could find to confirm was from May 2013).
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    Nick Punto and Mauer both with 0.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    Let move we ol' Joe to the bench and give a younger guy a chance. Or, at least drop him in the order.
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    It pains me that we are talking about getting to November now.. the WS and November just isn't right.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    Interesting that he doesn’t yet know how to interact with the fans. Also that he will have the mindset of a rookie.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    Cretin sucks!

    Why not consider putting Jepsen into competition with Perk for the closer role. Perk was less than adequate down the stretch the last two years.

    Not necessarily. I believe in choice and people being allowed to make their own decisions. I have wondered if football has a long term future as the knowledge and impact of concussions increases. When I talk to young parents today many of them refuse to let their children play football. Participation rates in football are way down in football hotbeds like Eden Prairie. The NFL and football are still popular today but I wonder what things will look like in 20-30 years? Playing any type of'contact' sport, any sport, activity, walking across the street, leaving the house has at least a small factor of risk involved. It will be interesting to see how society reacts. I don't think many high school athletes that play full-time escape without one incident of a shot to the head - does society ever reach a point where they tell people they cannot play a sport and stop a chance at a scholarship, pro contract, etc. How do we deal with these social issues and their impact?
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    If every athlete who has had a couple of concussions hangs it up will there be anyone left to play?
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    Let's hope Mauer has a bounce back season and can help propel the Twins to the playoffs. I do have to wonder how much of this is spin doctoring, though?
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    The Twins don't like to throw around any money, let alone $8 million - $9 million.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    Something has to change regarding the service time issue. If we wait a month now to worry about locking in Berrios for another season five years in the future.. what is the cost today? Could a handful of starts from Berrios be the difference between the playoffs and not making the playoffs?
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    This might be the ony Twin I have ever booed and now I wish I would have booed louder.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    The future is now. Buxton gets the CF job out of spring training. Now if there was only a way to convince Molly to bench Mauer...
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    Does this make it official that Mauer is now known for his defense more than his offense? This just shows how far his offense has declined and that the Twins need an upgrade at first base.
