Uh, no we mustn't assume anything. I mean, if that's all you conclude, that's you, but it's not at all how I conclude things. How I took it ... hmm ... I think of it more as a day of reflection. It doesn't mean everything is fine, at all, either before or after. But we are being asked to think on it. They took a day to say, 'Hey ... we need to all start thinking about these things and maybe, just maybe, that can lead to somewhere.' Rome wasn't built in a day and I highly doubt that those are the only two choices of conclusion that either it's all okay or they didn't mean it. If that's all you conclude, well, okay ... that's your right. But no, it's not at all what I conclude when they are back playing now. I took the time to read articles and resources, trying to outline ... how might I help? But because there is baseball today, doesn't mean it's all just miraculously okay. And it doesn't mean I'll go back to not trying to do better today. But that's me and what I think.

This is our comment policy: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/8228-twins-daily-comment-policy/ It might clear up a lot of questions you have about the site and what we are about. If you have further suggestions, questions or concerns about content, we have a forum specifically for those questions and comments, called 'Questions about MinnCentric': http://twinsdaily.com/forum/13-questions-about-minncentric/ Further, you can make your feelings known by PMing ownership directly. The owners are: John Bonnes Brock Beauchamp Parker Hageman Nick Nelson Seth Stohs If you have questions about policies or 'how to's' or other concerns, you can contact a moderator. They are listed in the Comments Policy. (I am one.) But filling up a discussion thread with complaints about that particular subject matter is really, truly counter-productive and is off topic and considered thread jacking. Your continued complaints in this thread, when I've outlined the proper outlets, will be removed. If you want to comment on the subject matter, agree or disagree, do so. But if all you want to do is complain about the subject matter, saying it shouldn't be here, we have many, many, many other threads in which to discuss baseball only. If you want an off-topic area, that would be the Sports Bar Forum, found here: http://twinsdaily.com/forum/12-the-sports-bar/ Keep in mind, specific political discussion ... i.e. elections, candidates, legislation ... are not permitted. We don't consider issues of humanity to be political issues ... until someone makes them so signaling toward a left or right agenda ... those posts are given little leeway and too far astray, removed. We also have forums to discuss football, basketball and hockey. Sorry soccer fans, you'll have to use the Sports Bar forum.

Game info ... it's in rain delay ... but when it gets up and running, join us in the game thread! http://twinsdaily.com/topic/40260-double-header-game-thread-twins-tigers-1210pm-cdt-8282020ad/?do=findComment&comment=983860

Did j'ya?

Rain rain go away, Come again another day! How's that for rhyme? Game is in rain delay.

And if anyone actually wants to watch a game and comment on the game and commune with others watching the game ... the game thread is up and running here: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/40260-double-header-game-thread-twins-tigers-1210pm-cdt-8282020ad/ EDIT: oops ... rain delay

I'm going to try and reiterate what I said at the top of the thread ... human decency isn't liberal or conservative points of view, or shouldn't be, it should be both, not an either/or. Justice, equality, fairness ... these are issues of human decency and respect. The minute we start labeling things as 'liberal' or 'conservative', we've drawn a political line and many us automatically gravitate toward one or the other. When we do that, we are doing a disservice to these issues, because the issues get lost in the left vs right bantering that happens. The poster you quoted was quoting another poster as saying 'the liberal clubhouse' ... the poster who labeled the clubhouse as liberal drew that political line. I don't think the clubhouse is liberal or conservative by taking the stance they did.These are issues of human decency and the 'left/right' finger pointing and labeling needs to not be part of the discussion.

This was wonderful, Mike. thank you. I, too, have been growing so weary and my hope is almost gone. The hate has always been there ... but it's been stoked and cultivated and is encapsulating too many ...

You can. Unlike it, then like it again. Rinse, wash, repeat until you’ve liked it 100 times ... or more. I’m not sure ad infinity is enough ...

That was an owner who locked the thread in the other forum. And yes, I'd say there was some veiled racism going on ... many posts were removed. But we have this thread now, so there was no need for two. AND THIS IS ANOTHER MOD NOTE: KEEP IT CIVIL!!!! Agree or disagree with the action, but do so without belittling others' opinions, whether it be players, managers, FO, other posters, owners, etc. And if you can't express an opinion about human decency, justice and fairness without pointing political fingers ... DON'T. POST. I'm tired of hearing about the cancel culture, leftist agenda, righty whitie stuff ... DON'T. GO. THERE. I'm tired of every issue becoming a debate drawn along political lines. There is no reason to make issues of human existence into 'we vs them' rants.

cmon Cruuuuuuuuuz!

Knock it off with this stuff. Seriously.

I <3 Rosie!

LOL

Hint for what? I'm not paying much attention ...

No ... we need Romo fresh for tomorrow ...

of course Chief would

Well, then ... okay ... I don't hate anyone. Plenty I really dislike, though.

Thanks ... haven't really been watching ... obviously

Why?

My uncle was a professor at Tech for a long time. I have a cousin who went there, as well as all three of her kids. Go Hokies!

My guess would be because they need a catcher and Jeffers is the better catcher.

aww, crap

Cmon, Nellie!!!
