    Well, better than polar bear or alligator.
  2. Squirrel
    Yeah, I’m rowing off and leaving you to deal with that.
  3. Squirrel
    But are there enough of them?
  4. Squirrel
    Yeah ... that's truly the one I can't figure out. No.
  5. Squirrel
    There will still be Darvish threads to read (or ignore). Three so far today have been started ...

    As much as many didn’t want Yu for 6 years, I’m not sure I’d want any of those for 4 years. And I especially don’t want Arrieta for even 3. I think he’s on a very fast decline. Maybe 2 with an option, but definitely not guaranteed. You’re right that Archer is going to cost way too much. Eh, I just don’t know. I’m really not at all surprised Yu went elsewhere, but we really need front-end help ... that’s really not any of those left. I’d rather look for really short-term deals and hope someone steps up.

    Really? There's a zip line across the Mississippi? Seems foolish for something you can just walk across in about 10 steps knee-deep. http://www.lakesnwoods.com/images/LakeIt78.jpg

    Yeah ... I'd have to see what we'd be offering and what everyone would sign for. I was always a Napoli fan in his heyday, but if it meant we would sign Darvish, I'd do a one-year, reasonable amount deal for him. But not sure where I'd put him ... I guess bench bat/DH ... can he even play 1st anymore? Guess he'd be a back up there? And if we signed him, I guess Vargas would lose his spot? I can't even think of the roster shuffling. It just seems like a piece we don't need. But ... for Darvish ... don't know. Again, I'd have to see the deals and numbers involved.

    x 1000. Ugh. If we end up with Odorizzi and are without Kepler this year because of a trade with the Rays, I can't even express my thoughts on that.

    Get a screen shot and PM Brock with it or post it here. In the meantime, refresh the screen and it goes away; at least in my experience that's what's happened.

    The narrator of the Guzman commercial makes that one hilarious with his bionic man noise.
  12. Squirrel
    It’s been linked here recently, but the Thome/Paul Bunyan and Babe Twins Territory commercial.

    Next week. It's always next week.

    I think your intern has difficulties with high pressure situations. Next time try a food truck that only specializes in one thing.
  15. Squirrel
    Good article, Ted. I agree with everything you said.
  16. Squirrel
    Rumors, damn rumors.

    Where I work our service weeks are Monday - Sunday. So I go with that. Also, there’s this: ‘On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work.’ Everyone knows the 7th day, the day of rest, is Sunday, ergo the end of the week.
  18. Squirrel
    Until what? The end of the week isn’t until midnight tomorrow.

    I said that and now my patience is wearing thin and I think we should just sign Lynn and go home. <shrug> At this point for me, it’s not the guaranteed money and/or years I’m concerned with, but my patience and sanity!
  20. Squirrel
    So, we hire Darvish and he's our front-end this year, maybe next ... while Berrios and Romero are moving up. And maybe even the third year we'll have 3 that are 1-2 as Darvish starts his decline and the others are reaching their peak. The thing is, Berrios and Romero becoming front-enders isn't a guarantee. We hope they will be the front-end guys, but that won't be this season or quite possibly not next, either. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking on Sano, Buxton, Rosario ... and the rest of our core. Putting off for tomorrow is, imo, not productive for today.
  21. Squirrel
    I'll just be glad when this is done. I mean ... could we have had any more 'roller coastering' Darvish threads and discussions this off season? Heh ... it's worse than the 'Dozier to the Dodgers - book it!' threads from last year. Let's get on with it!
  22. Squirrel
    Yep. IMO as well.
  23. Squirrel
    I had to unlike the original in order to like it again ... thanks, Nick.

    I don’t think he’s using Twitter to up offers. I think he uses Twitter to troll people because that’s what Twitter is a lot of the time. And I think he enjoys it because of the responses he gets and because he knows that people bring these things back to message boards like this and try to find the hidden meaning when there is none. He stated from the beginning he’s in no hurry and wants to enjoy this process because it’s the last big FA he’ll have. And when his agent gets the offer they want from the team they want he’ll sign. And I still don’t think he’ll sign with the Twins even though I am still kind of hoping he will.
  25. Squirrel
    Yes.
