    Also, another question, can a pitcher (or anyone) experience pain at both ends, in other words, double bicep tendonitis? Or is it likely that a pull on 'one end' is affecting the other? (If that question makes any sense.) Asking for a friend who plays tennis.

    Yes, I believe it's when the Twins started shopping seriously because the BP was something that was not addressed earlier, i.e. in the offseason. And no, I don't think prices ever became reasonable, as the best out there weren't moved, with one or two exceptions. But, I think the Twins got the best that was attainable at this time, because 1) they didn't address it sooner, and 2) the best wasn't being sold for reasonable prices

    I don’t think that’s the right lesson, or rather not specific enough. I’d say the lesson is, don’t wait until the trade deadline to actually build a bullpen, but rather use it to add that one special piece.

    Depending on age and usage and individual physiology, can this become a chronic problem, i.e. trips to the IL every season or a couple times a season?

    Thanks, heezy!

    Hey, next suggestion, could you do a blog on a mundane ‘injury’ like bicep tendonitis?
  7. Squirrel
    I look forward to reading about some of your road trips!

    Thanks, heazy! Awesome stufff yet again!

    Heh, me, too

    I don't disagree with that. In fact, I stated in a later post that the violence in QT's movies has a purpose and is not gratuitous as it is in some. But ... that said ... part of the story, artful or not, it's still a lot to take. I don't demean his movies or his process because I have enjoyed some of the ones I've been to, but I've also chosen not to go to others, because, well ... I need to thumb through some pretty art books afterwards because it's too much for me.

    I guess it all depends on why one goes to the movies. Movies for me are very much an escape from life for a couple hours. I like going on these short-lived adventures. That’s not to say I won’t go for the purpose of art or thought-provoking life. It just depends on what I currently need and what I currently don’t in my day to day.

    Who said any of that? I never once even suggested, or hinted, that his movies shouldn’t be violent, just that they are. Because they are. Whether it’s art reflecting life or not, natural to the story or not, his movies tend to be violent. Nor did I even suggest it was gratuitous, as is the case with other movies of certain genres. All I said was I find it difficult to sit through. Every movie of his I’ve seen, I’ve actually enjoyed. But I haven’t seen them all, partly because I don’t particularly like the violence. I would never suggest it shouldn’t be there, but rather choose not to go. And I read a report that this movie is less violent than his movies typically are. That’s all I was saying.
  13. Squirrel
    This movie is purported to be his least violent. I know the man’s a genius, but I have a difficult time sitting through most of his movies because of the violence in them.

    This was awesome! Thanks!
  15. Squirrel
    Exactly what are you just sayin’? Were you out partying with him the night before last and you’re to blame for this all?
  16. Squirrel
    It can't be a little of both? Or second guessing on everyone's part?

    I don’t think the Reds would have been blacklisted. Maybe from ever going to Cleveland again, but I don’t think from all of baseball. But concur on the rest.
  18. Squirrel
    I’m holding you to that!
  19. Squirrel
    It always seems that way, but we don’t know what GMs were asking us for. When Bauer went to the Reds I thought ‘maybe’, given our FO’s Cleveland connection, given what it took the Reds to get him, and got my hopes up a little. Wish I had been a fly on the wall everywhere. It was a sky high sellers market and the buying just didn’t happen most everywhere. I’m okay with where we are ... it’s not awesome, it’s not horrible, we did more than past regimes have, we’re better than we were, so forward we must go. Here’s hoping for the best ...
  20. Squirrel
    diehard ... no ... there is more action in the game thread ... move it there, please. Yes, this is a moderator warning.
  21. Squirrel
    That's where you and I are different. I was only hoping. But, I'm okay.
  22. Squirrel
    I think it's more that it's an unanswerable question without some direct input from Grienke himself. I mean, we can all throw out guesses, even plausible guesses, so I don't think anyone is really going to be able to even talk about it legitimately, and will only answer ... well ... emotionally, I guess? The shorter response is ... no one, except Grienke and maybe his agent, knows the reason
  23. Squirrel
    Dyson is a cat dad ... so that notched it just above acceptable.
  24. Squirrel
    This trade deadline was just weird.
  25. Squirrel
    Depends on how much fast food affects your system.
