    Is this based on a book? The trailers I've seen ... looks a little creepy.
  2. Squirrel
    Your contact doesn't know where it is either.
  3. Squirrel
    Now I'm thinking I may have to attend. Of course, I was already thinking that because this is a great event.
  4. Squirrel
    Seriously then, why do I keep seeing ads for shoes? I never search for shoes online.
  5. Squirrel
    Geez ... showing your age a bit, aren't you?

    I think that's what people are questioning ... how do you know they didn't have that conversation with the Dodgers FIRST, and that the press is just reporting where things are at? I think it's hugely presumptuous of you to assume that that conversation hasn't happened and that the press is reporting it to us, secondarily, to let us know that this is where things stand ... that there is a timeline in place. And everyone, please stop the 'LOL-ing' at each other.

    I don't think that's an inference you can make from the article one way or the other.

    Oh, I don't think we are really so far off in disagreement here. I have always stated we needed pitching and Dozier is the chip to get it. And I, too, want quality over quantity ... but I think there are differing opinions and approaches to what quality gained = what quality lost and finding that right balance that actually does good for us in the future. Yeah, it's all a crap shoot no matter what direction you go, but we could do worse damage to our future, imo, if it's not the right deal, risk or no risk.
  9. Squirrel
    That's fair. And I guess that's the divide here between the varying points of view on this issue. For me, there is a point where you walk away. Yeah, there's risk no matter how you look at it. It's just difficult for me to part with a proven, definite asset for something that may never produce. I'd be more comfortable, obviously, with a return of more pieces in the hopes that one is really good. Is there a point you'd walk away from this situation, out of curiosity?
  10. Squirrel
    Which is why I used a question mark as I was asking. If that's all the offer is for, then what?
  11. Squirrel
    I'm not sure it's really about value that Dozier isn't getting what he's worth. It's more about supply and demand. So are you saying that you would trade him straight up for DeLeon? A proven ML position player with above average defense and well above average power for his position, for an unproven highly ranked prospect within the Dodgers system? No. The only thing you can do is hold him and hope that a better offer comes along. Yes, we need pitching, but ONE pitching prospect isn't going to solve that. It may not even be a start if that ONE prospect doesn't pan out. Yeah, this isn't s great place to be in and we all hoped for more, but that's just how it is. If that's all there is out there for Dozier, you keep him and hope for better. If not, you look for another way. If this is the only way to improve our future, then we don't have much of one.

    Well, I don't agree. And I still don't call it an ultimatum.
  13. Squirrel
    <pppffftsputtter> I'm not even sure how to respond to that. But somewhere in the Universe, Skeletor is getting anxious.
  14. Squirrel
    Sigh. Brock, when are there going to be ads with shirtless He-men eye candy for me to date?
  15. Squirrel
    I disagree. It's not an ultimatum at all. It's wanting to get it done because they need to move forward one way or another. It wouldn't be smart if they weren't prepared to walk away, but I think they are and always have been.
  16. Squirrel
    Heh, yes, such a warm and fuzzy collective we all are.
  17. Squirrel
    Not 'ours' ... one person's.
  18. Squirrel
    RAIL BARON!!! Card games, besides those mentioned, that are family fun at the holidays: hearts, up and down the river, spoons
  19. Squirrel
    The first two times I played Catan I won. No such luck since but it's a fun game
  20. Squirrel
    Too bad ... but cribbage ... I'm a master
  21. Squirrel
    Omg ... you play bridge?
  22. Squirrel
    I remember playing canasta with my grandma a very long time ago. She died in 1980, before you were born
  23. Squirrel
    I hope to see Rosario in right and Kepler in left this year. I'm not sure about Poanco at 3rd, though. You don't really say anything about why you think he'd slot there other than it's the only open spot left and he's the last one to be put somewhere. I think the Twins will have to go outside the org for a legit 3rd baseman.
  24. Squirrel
    This was gold.
  25. Squirrel
    This is a great event, lots of fun! Not sure yet I'll be able to attend, but it is well worth it!
