    Oh, you'll see blue from time to time when we post announcements ...
  3. Squirrel
    The orange you see is just one of the color choices for banner announcements. Once everyone is more or less acclimated, those orange line items will go away ... however, they may be replaced with other announcements from time to time in green or blue

    Well ... not just that ... the red scroll button is available wherever you are, but if you are at the bottom of a topic you have all the options available ... 'Go to topic listing' takes you back to that forum; or click on one of the things in the gray ... takes you to back as far as you want to go, without having to scroll up at all.

    Squirrel ... I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore! We must be over the rainbow!

    I think the FO should get more than half the blame. For one, the bp. For two, I think they've massively over-estimated or completely missed in evaluating abilities of some of the players. Yeah, some players are just not performing and I have to wonder if that's just who they are at this point (Kepler, Polanco and Sano). And those are the three that the FO has put some faith in with healthy contracts. So ... yeah ... the FO gets the majority of the blame here. And I'd say 60% or more of it.

    Yes. You will now be able to type incorrectly again!

    What do you do when no one seems capable of doing their jobs? This goes much deeper than one player.

    I'd love a Twins sweatshirt that color. But, not gonna lie ... would be for lounging and/or sleeping
  14. Squirrel
    for different reasons ...
  15. Squirrel
    I am never sitting in your barcalounger.
  16. Squirrel
    In some instances I don't think there is a way to do that. I mean a neon flashing SATIRE in a very large font would probably get missed by some
  17. Squirrel
    I could fix it for you, but I'ma gonna leave it ... it seems fitting for the thread
  18. Squirrel
    No, he's not ... they look like pajamas

    This is one of the most impressive things I've read on TD. Well done, Renabanena!

    Oh Tom, you are such an optimist! heh

    This is not a covid discussion group, beyond discussing the protocols for the players. While we all share differing opinions on individual rights and choices, this is not a platform to present misinformation or conspiracy theory half-truths. Keep to baseball. And regardless of whatever differing opinions we have, treat one another respectfully and no name calling.

    From the Twins website: "The organization spent much of Wednesday morning conducting contact tracing protocols. By the time Falvey addressed media an hour and a half before the first game, he said the Twins had cleared every player and staff member who had been tested in the initial phase of the protocols." https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/andrelton-simmons-placed-on-covid-19-injured-list

    Okay ... so let's move on, please. And I'm asking as a moderator. Thanks.

    It wasn't cancelled because of the event itself. It was cancelled because of safety concerns in the area due to the events. I know the Twins said 'in respect of the family', but that was linked to the unsafe public areas around the stadium. If the next time someone is shot, resident or police officer, and a protest ensues, and the area becomes unsafe for fans, players, staff, etc., I'm sure the decision will be the same. And they will likely say 'in respect of', but it will primarily be because of safety issues in the area. If there aren't safety issues in the area, you won't see them postpone a game. When you have a situation where a curfew is imposed and the national guard are called in and there are protests that could easily turn to riots, you postpone whatever it is. The Twins can't be the only business in the area that closed down because of this. I don't think this is a precedent to shut down every time there is an injustice or perceived injustice ... unless the area is unsafe to open up for business as usual. The sad thing about this discussion for me, is people saying 'the next time ...' In my perfect dreamworld, there wouldn't be a next time. I think it's time to move away from guessing intent and 'the next time' and trying to guess actions of 'the next time.' Hopefully the Twins will get the series in, one way or another, whether here or elsewhere.

    That is your interpretation that it is political. So I restate, don't make it political here. It's been proven that we cannot have these kinds of discussion at TD for all the partisan primping and talking points and disingenuous rhetoric and name calling that usually follows and does nothing but inflame. So, once again, stop and turn around. This decision was about the safety and welfare of those in and around Target Field and with respect to the family involved. You can think all you want about the decision that was made, that is your right, but don't turn this into a political hash and rehashing.
