    I don't, surprisingly. But my wife does. Mine are all mostly related to rum and vodka. I don't drink rum anymore.

    Moderation: the lesson that is almost always learned when indulging to excess.

    Tequila...there's your problem.

    Josh Donaldson hit another HR off of the bullpen??????

    ...and I just learned of the extreme inadequacy of my lunch.

    All that I got out of that was the lack of donuts. Perhaps I misread something.

    I'm not sure why you hold such a grudge against the Jets.

    Teams like the Twins (i.e. teams not being the Yankees or Red Sox) need to maximize the trade value of its players far more often than they do. Their inability to do so over and over again has resulted in this very situation. I'm not sure how many people really get this. That's how the A's were able to extend their run in the early 2000's and the Ray's a tad later.

    I know that we've disagreed on the point about Sano and Buxton (or other prospects) in other threads, but for me it was always about the timing of it. I'm also not convinced that one of those guys would net enough of a haul to make this team competitive next season. But to the point I'm trying to make, you'd also need to be able to fill the hole you just created. Trading Buxton this offseason would not only be selling low, but it would also leave this team without a CF again. So if this is the route that is taken, Sano would have to be the guy dealt. They have several in-house options and he's at least looked the part of a major league hitter. That would clear a logjam at DH/1B, and bring players that should be able to help next year. I still think the best this team can realistically hope for to be a .500 team, but you have to get there before you become a legitimate competitor. You do have to start somewhere, however. Trading Dozier and Santana now is that start. I don't see trading Dozier and Santana as an all out forfeit of next seasons competitiveness. Not doing anything, or very little would be. I also feel that trading the Sano's or Buxton's would have a much larger public reaction to the negative regarding next year's competitiveness.

    I always enjoy these "look back at the yearly predictions" type things. It's fun to see what you thought going into the season and how they turned out. Not in a mocking way, just to see how things play out. It's humorous and irritating all at the same time. Thanks for the early reactions. Considering how the season has unfolded, I think you did pretty well. I'm with tobi, I'm sure the pitcher projections were worse and as entertaining as these are I'm not sure that I want to see that one.

    I was trying to forget what I just read. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    Reminds me of that Christmas Eve i spent on the bathroom floor after not paying enough attention to how many Redbull/Vodka's I had. Haven't had one since.

    Natural version of this???

    Yes.

    Good point. If that's the case, perhaps they should put him next to the medical box. If he moves, tape him to the bench to make sure that he can't move.

    C'mon North. Puke and rally! Puke and rally! Watching this team at times, that's a valuable skill.
  20. wsnydes
    Hopefully sit next to the tub of bubble gum and not move from that spot.
  21. wsnydes
    Ha! I haven't seen the lineups yet. Nice catch.

    Not that I want to defend this, but Rosario was supposed to have yesterday off. Edit: I've been informed that Rosario is in LF. See what happens when you try to defend something around here? You get blasted!

    Unless mechanical issues set him back...

    Speaking of inefficient, how about the number of rabbits that you had to shoot to bring in a decent haul. With how difficult they were to hit, it's just a waste of ammunition. I'm sure it took 10 year old me far too long to come to that conclusion.

    I keep finding myself back over there for some reason. Perhaps I'm looking for my sanity figuring that is where I last saw it.
