    I’m not quite sure what there is to discuss about doilies ... not sure I even remember this. Must have blanked it from my mind it was so traumatizing.

    Yeah, I won’t be jogging the 300 miles to get to the one in the photo I posted.

    I haven’t eaten yet but looking at granola, raspberries and yogurt. I no longer live anywhere close to those donuts in the picture ... which is both a fortunate and unfortunate thing. But when I visit ... no other glazed raised compares. And the maple frosted long johns are a thing of beauty. It’s probablh more fortunate than unfortunate I don’t live nearby.

    I think you should give your wife that and see what she thinks of it.

    Do NOT compare Krispy Kreme donuts to my photo ... they aren't even close. That's a picture from my home town bakery. Krispy Kreme came to town, opened a store, and closed it within a couple of months because ... they don't compare to the best that was already there.

    Mmmm ... donuts ...

    Not since the 2nd game in PR.

    The Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD is a must see. And Rugby, ND is the geographic center of North America. You are missing out by not venturing to these places.

    I’m glad you don’t have true fortune telling powers.

    That fish story was more like a very lengthy Chief tale.

    This is fantastic! Thanks, heezy! If y'all haven't read this yet, it's worth the brief bit of time. Well explained for we lay persons.
  14. Squirrel
    Wow ... thanks, heezy!! It's really nice to have a 'resident expert' to explain these things to us ... thank you for taking the time and offering your expertise to those of us who are 'armchair experts' by reading things on the internet.

    Where do 538 or PBS land on that chart? I don’t see them, but maybe they just aren’t clear on my small device.
  16. Squirrel
    Check the list. See if anyone there you want. I haven't updated statuses as to what team they are currently on ... but ... still plenty available. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/28867-round-2-adopt-a-prospect-2018-monday-mar-12/

    Looks like you won't have much to update us with this year ... except any news of recovery ...
  18. Squirrel
    Waaaaaa ...

    If you stay tomthe end you win the prize. I mean it’s already midnight on the east coast, yes?

    I just looked for this move and didn't see it ... thanks for the update!
  21. Squirrel
    Make sure you take one, then have a beer.
  22. Squirrel
    Since I know you I can say this with all confidence of knowing I'm right: I don't think you will have to try too hard.
  23. Squirrel
    Hahaha ... that was great!

    I've said from the beginning that I think Sano could do more to be in better shape. And I don't know why he's not. I mean, maybe it is just that difficult for him to shed weight? Maybe he doesn't do all he can? I don't know his life and what he does with it. And, actually, from seeing him in person at ST, he is solid. It's not like he's a flabby mess. But yes, getting the weight down along with better conditioning ... I don't see how that could hurt. I really don't. But I think there is a larger issue at play here ... one that I think many don't consider or think about because of what we don't know. The eye test only goes so deep for me. I think it's just too easy to say 'Because A, B is the most likely answer.’ Fair and reasonable as that might seem, I still want to know more before I put too many eggs in that basket. As I've said above, it would be nice if it were this easy of a fix, but at this point he's not even heading to DH status if he can't hit, and that to me is the bigger red flag. Yes, we've seen glimpses, but I want sustained ... where is that? Where is the threat? Somewhere along the line something isn't working ... is it the coaching? Is it Sano? Is it the weight/conditioning? Were the evaluators wrong about him? Did the FO not take this seriously enough and if they’ve had high hopes for him and invested this much in him, why not? I don't know any of the answers to these questions, but I hope all parties involved can find an answer. Until they do, I'm skeptical of how much he is going to be the cornerstone we need.

    I know this wasn't directed at me, but I'll give an answer. Yes and no. His weight/conditioning, to me, is a symptom of a larger problem. This alone is not the issue, imo. I don't think weight/conditioning is his problem at the plate, for instance. Yes, weight/conditioning will prolong his career, provided other issues are also solved, if they can be solved, and is definitely something I'd like to see him focus more on. But it's just not a solution in and of itself. Until I see otherwise, I'm no longer convinced Sano is the player that was hoped for. I want to be wrong on that front, but talent is one thing ... having the ability to harness it is another. And yes, weight/condition is part of that, but ... I wonder about Sano's coachability at this point; I wonder if evaluators made an error about him at some point; I wonder if the F.O. knows what to do about him. I just don't know.
