  1. Or sometimes not at all!
  2. The visual I have in my head as the spreadsheet opens and the speakers start howling is very similar to the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark (***spoilers ahead***) where they open the ark and everyone's face melts.
  3. As someone that used to attend 30 some odd games a season, I can appreciate the level of commitment, time and money associated with attending that many games. Thanks for the awesome article to close out the year!
  4. That's some commitment. That level of commitment should require a contract or something! I hope he got frequent buyer discounts on hot dogs and beers.
  5. "SARCASTIC POSTERS OF TD RESORT TO SARCASM IN PROTEST OF SATIRE SPREADSHEET RESULTS!" - RandBall Stu follow up headline
  6. Have a safe and happy New Year, everyone!

  7. I heard that the St. Paul Saints backed out after they realized that there are far too many satirical promotional giveaway ideas tied to this ordeal that it would blow their giveaway budget.
  8. I thought the same thing initially. Why so much angst about an existing, and known, injury? I suppose that if you're talking 13 year contracts versus 3, that's a much different story. It's also possible that the condition of the injury got worse this past season and now is a bigger concern.
  9. I had the same thought about where the Twins stood on the condition of the injury. It's also possible that it worsened over the course of last season and now seems more suspect than it did last offseason.
  10. Walk away. Just walk away. If the big market teams are shying away from a long term deal, then this team most certainly should. The disclaimer there is if they can get the term down to a more manageable length where the ankle issue isn't likely to be as big of a question mark. And this team already has first hand knowledge of how it holds up over a season.
  11. I've seen this episode before...
  12. It's like deja vu all over again!
  13. I guess that I need to update my post from @Nick Nelson's Coping with Correa Signing thread to include "It works for when they sign the completely wrong free agent". I'm with @Brock Beauchamp, this signing makes no sense.
  14. I wondered where I was going to get my prodigious strike out pace fix this season with Sano gone...
  15. There has to some realism in these offseason approaches by the FO. If they're not going to be serious about going after a top tier free agent, then they need forget about those and pursue the next tier down and do it more aggressively. Going after a top tier FA half-assed while allowing lower tier players to sign elsewhere in the process is not the way to conduct an offseason. If they're going to go after a top tier FA, then they need to do it seriously. Otherwise, don't pursue them at all and get more of the less flashy names to fill out a roster. This team is much further away from competing than a Correa. Coming up empty and/or needing to trade for guys to fill the roster holes isn't a sustainable approach.
  16. I was going to say that I doubted it would even need to be free, but free beer would certainly have a greater impact that not free beer even if it were cheaper than it currently is.
  17. I'm coping, I have Scotch! It's a multi-purpose solution. It works when they're losing. It works when they're winning. It works when they sign the free agent of choice. It works when they don't sign the free agent of choice. It's also applicable to the draft!
  18. Only if I can frontload the deal to make sure that I'm getting paid for their prime display years before they accumulate dust and added risk of breakage.
  19. They don't need a SS that badly anyway...

  20. That is quite the collection! The winner better have a buddy with to help carry it!
