  1. 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.
  2. 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 ...
  3. I was going to move it to one of the existing threads depending on what it was ... smart aleck
  4. Is this a series or a movie?
  5. diehard ... no ... there is more action in the game thread ... move it there, please. Yes, this is a moderator warning.
  6. That's where you and I are different. I was only hoping. But, I'm okay.
  7. 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
  8. Dyson is a cat dad ... so that notched it just above acceptable.
  9. That's when being out of market is nice. I'll be listening to the Marlins feed tonight.
  10. I just can't believe people have an issue with Romo being at the game today. I really don't get it. He's a Twin now. The deal was done. And he wanted to join his team right away. And be with and get to know his new 'mates. And he's excited and wants to be here. So ... why is that a problem? I think it's great and am glad he feels that way.
  11. I think it’s great Romo came up just for one day. Wanting to get going, meet his new teammates and get the feel of things, watch a division rival play and see their players. Makes sense to me.
  12. wow ... did not see this coming given his slow first half ... but good for him!
  13. I think this is the most succinct summation and mirrors my feelings exactly. There is nothing more for me to say on it.
  14. He was one of the pitchers I wanted in the off-season leading up to the 2018 season. I thought his trajectory was upward moving post surgery. But ... considering his attitude while he was with us, and what it meant to him to be here, not sure I’d want to take a flyer on that. Esp not for 2 more years beyond.
  15. The game we played against Cleveland in PR last year was a great game. I’d say both game 163’s were amazing, even though we lost one of them. Greatest comeback game has to be the game against Detroit a couple years ago, right before the ASG where we scored what ... 7 runs in the bottom of the 9th? What game was it ... was it against Detroit in 1987 where they picked off the runner at 3rd? Was that the game That clinched the AL championship, or am I blurring everything? Getting too old to remember, but what constitutes ‘greatest’? But, like you, game 7 in 1991 ... one of the greatest games ever, of any team. And, yeah, okay, I’m biased.
  16. Where are you getting the 10% and 15% figures? Are those just what you think the odds are, or was that quoted from somewhere? I think with better arms, our chances to win go up by more than that. And I think we are competitive. I mean, we won last night, didn't we?
  17. Oooou!!!! Now this is WAY better than the spider thingie coming out of the swamp!
  18. When we get wins like this, against real competitive teams, teams that will most certainly be going beyond the regular season, it tells me ... we can compete against them. We can do it. It gives me hope. But we still need to make a couple of trades or it's just hoping for the best with my fingers AND toes crossed.
