  3. Meh, aggies7 already had it pretty lively. I'm just an etcetera.
  4. He's wrong for uttering this sentence at all.
  5. Actually, I would think that that is exactly what serius would want
  6. We can't do merges of articles with regular threads. But please continue this discussion in the article thread.http://twinsdaily.com/topic/23399-article-report-twins-recalling-jose-berrios/
  7. It's here in the Minor League Report in the Minors forum. According to Seth: Weather affected this game in Ft. Myers. Through three innings, Fernando Romero was pitching very well. The hard-throwing right-hander had given up three hits, but no runs. He walked none and struck out two. And then the weather came and the game was in a rain delay for 2 hours and 23 minutes. When they returned, Romero was done and lefty Luke Westphal replaced him.
  8. First of all ... I don't just vote for Democrats. On a national level, yes. Until our system of government changes, it's too much of a risk for me. We've been over this. You have more privilege to take that risk being white and male. You can rail on that all you want, but that's the truth. Until you have been seriously denied, you truly don't get it and can't get it; intellectually, yes, but on a personal level, no. I. Won't. Risk. It. But on local and state levels I really look for alternatives. I know a lot of people who do and there is little if anything. The mayoral election in Chicago for instance. There is real opportunity to put someone up for office that is a 3rd party participant and they could succeed. Personally, I think if they weren't affiliated with any party and just called themselves something general, they really could succeed. They might not win initially, and would probably take a few elections, but there isn't even a presence. This is how you start building a base. Yeah, painstakingly slow, for sure. And likely we won't see a 3rd party candidate have any chance in our lifetime, but it just won't happen from the top down. The only way it could happen is from the bottom up. It's a circle, it really is ... I won't risk voting 3rd party on a national level until they have a real chance and I don't have to risk my rights and equality, and they won't have that real chance until we change our 2-party system of government and that won't happen nationally until forced. There are only two ways to force that ... start small and have a lot of patience and build ... or a violent uprising.
  9. I have no issues with them getting into the race for president ... it is good exposure ... but then they do nothing in between. And there are opportunities to make a case in lower level of governments. We have a two party system of government and that makes it very difficult for any 3rd party to get traction on a national level, so start small ... local and state ... and work hard to get those candidates into state offices. That's where changes will occur ... state by state. The states control how elections are handled. That's where you work to change and make the greatest impact. Use the presidential runs for exposure, but get your traction much lower. To change the two-party system ... that's not going to happen at a national level until the States force it to.
  10. I think it might, might, have something to do with who isn't in it anymore. Possibly?
  11. Hahaha ... we'll have to come up with a suitable nickname for this ... like, if it had been Ullger, there'd be a windmill gif and we'd call him Windmill, but I can't really see referring to Glynn as 'that inflatable tube person purchased with North's toonies.'
  12. New blood doesn't happen in a presidential election. New blood happens when we focus on getting the 'right' candidates into lower offices and work from there. Newer blood doesn't become president without getting into another office first. Focus on getting this new blood elected to state offices and to Congress and the Senate. Then we'll see meaningful change, but not until, imo. This is part of the problem with 3rd parties ... they want the national stage during presidential elections to try and get some press and usually fail to get enough because of the major two. Then they don't really work to maintain and expand their interest the rest of the time. Maybe they'd do better if they worked to get groundswell during the off time rather than trying to create it during a presidential run.
  13. Geez ... I'll be up for a while now.
  14. I think you are failing to grasp what induces nightmares.
  15. Well, yes. His mike was turned off and they jumped right into the post game show.
  16. I really don't want to think about that right before bed. I like to sleep peacefully, uninterrupted by nightmares. So I won't be eating a bowl of Count Chocula cereal, either.
  17. Yes, we've heard the stories. Are you locked out of the house again, naked, and hiding in the bushes?
  18. Cmon, just go boom and be done with it.
  19. This is the one I had read not too long ago ... http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/boston-red-sox
  20. I thought he said the Red Sox, too.
  21. Omg .., Molitor just had to do it! Sheeeeite.
