    I'm not missing any point. I get it ... catching Cleveland was going to be tough. I already said that, did I not? And I said it was going to be worse with the tweaking they did. But you can't know what would or would not have happened with certainty because the team now is different. They sold and didn't buy. You don't know what would have happened had they bought a piece or two or three if that's what decision was made instead. I just think it's a pointless argument, because right or wrong, it is what it is.

    Lol ... one of the top 10 episodes of 'Buffy'.

    I'm not arguing for or against the sell, because it is what it is. But I'm not sure it's really fair to say, 'See? Selling was the right thing to do given our record since then.' We don't know what would have been with the pieces that are gone, particularly Escobar and Lynn who seems to be pitching with consistant goodness. But then, if they had stayed here, no telling how they would have performed, either. Yeah, I agree, catching Cleveland was going to be an uphill fight, made even steeper with the tweaking they did, and as I said in the first sentence, not going to argue right or wrong here, but I don't think comparing post sell records is exactly an accurate argument supporting the sell because it's a different team now than it was then.

    Hopefully he can take his lumps now and learn from them.
  5. Squirrel
    There’s always an adjustment period, which is why it’s good he’s getting time now before next season.
  6. Squirrel
    Oops. I had the time wrong, too.
  7. Squirrel
    This kind of brings us back to the beginning of this discussion ... where is that line and how do we draw it?
  8. Squirrel
    Could they contend next year? Yes, depending on what the FO does.
  9. Squirrel
    When I saw the title, I thought maybe you were going to suggest he take some reps in the outfield and maybe at catcher, too, because well, positional flexibility.
  10. Squirrel
    That sounds like something Chief would say.
  11. Squirrel
    choo- choooooo!
  12. Squirrel
    Ooops ... sorry ... at least that's what I thought I heard the broadcasters say. I'd be more than happy to be wrong on that.
  13. Squirrel
    Yup. Even if against the Tigers, it's fun to see a win in this manner. And it was the first pinch-hit home run by the Twins all season.

    Moderator warning: Please refrain from characterizing posters and making this about them. This is a game recap. Make your posts about that.
  15. Squirrel
    yeah, and people in Hell want ice water.
  16. Squirrel
    Looking for the gray lining of the silver cloud of our win?
  17. Squirrel
    Sheeesh. What an at bat.
  18. Squirrel
    Why can’t you FaceTime him?
  19. Squirrel
    Actually, Thorpe was called up yesterday and pitched for Rochester today at noon, I think taking Stewart’s place in the rotation.
  20. Squirrel
    Yup. Touch of the flu, actually.
  21. Squirrel
    I thought I had read somewhere that they aren’t going to play him every day in the beginning to guard against reinjury.
  22. Squirrel
    Yeah ... see my response to pseudo after I said that ... I used the question mark because I really don't have an answer. As I've also said, in theory I'm against capital punishment, but I could see that there might be a reason for it, but really don't have any concrete idea of just what and when. It scares me how it's been used in the past, and that has made me very outspoken in the past against. But, as I said, there could be a reason ... I just don't know what and when that would be, just that I'd be open to ideas and discussion.
  23. Squirrel
    Heh, well, confrontation is really only confrontation if I had a more sure answer. I don’t so I’m open to ideas. In theory I’m against capital punishment for fear of executing an innocent person. But I suppose there could be a situation where that might be the answer. I’m just not sure what, where and how.
  24. Squirrel
    Yeah, I used a question mark because I’m not sure there’s an answer to that question. Not that I don’t think there is never a situation where capital punishment might be the answer, I’m just not sure when and where.

    Psychopathic serial killer?
