    for different reasons ...
  2. Squirrel
    I am never sitting in your barcalounger.
  3. 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
  4. Squirrel
    I could fix it for you, but I'ma gonna leave it ... it seems fitting for the thread
  5. 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.

    I don’t want to lead this discussion down the wrong path, but I don’t see how this decision was at all political. You seem to be making it so by suggesting it is. There is a lot of unrest in the community so for the safety of all involved, they decided to postpone. And Chief is right, if it is so unwatchable, something you have stated a few times now, the choice is simple. Don’t watch.

    You know ... I should offer to give them a tour ... I could show them the Mary Tyler Moore house near Lake of the Isles. Wouldn't have to drive far to see that gem!
  15. Squirrel
    No one here is stupid. Please keep that in mind. Even if the loudly expressed opinions might have lost a lot of air today ... they still aren't stupid.
  16. Squirrel
    Ahh ... okay ... shoulda caught that but seeing one after the other, I was just thinking ... 'Really???' Thanks for clarifying.
  17. Squirrel
    Having had various levels of food poisoning before ... yeah, that's about right. (And so unpleasant.)
  18. Squirrel
    Concur. If they thought that, they'd have IL'd them and brought someone up. But, illness is a bit more difficult to predict ... always day by day.
  19. Squirrel
    Yes. Imo.
  20. Squirrel
    Neither Buxton nor Arraez are out due to injury. Illness is far different. Not to be a horrible person for wishing anyone ill, but I'm glad in both cases it's an illness vs an injury. That said ... I hope it doesn't turn into anything else.
  21. Squirrel
    Goodness ... really? Already saying to send someone down? We've had some good games, it's early. These guys deserve a little leeway 4 games into the season. Especially after two really good offensive games.
  22. Squirrel
    Yes ... in the Twins Talk forum.
  23. Squirrel
    Concur. Welcome to Twins Daily!

    hahaha ... my response was ... 'Well, that goes well with Guaranteed Rate Field'
