    Don’t sweat it, they can’t read!

    I might have been the only person in the country who cheered against the Cubs and Red Sox when they won. You got the couch ready for me Doc? I’m ready to discuss what’s wrong with me.

    I’m resentful of any team that hasn’t won a World Series since 1991, and does before the Twins do so again. And yes, I acknowledge and accept my pettiness.

    I hate every minute of this series, so I wish they had ghost runners and five inning games just to get this crap over with.
  5. nicksaviking
    Hmmm, those ads are the worst but I hadn’t thought about the voice. So thanks for that I guess?
  6. nicksaviking
    I think they might in the 10th. But I don’t think they do in a seven game series.

    Edit, Cleveland tied it up as I’m typing?! I’m still hate-watching baseball I guess.
  8. nicksaviking
    Thought I would too. Now our company left, Cleveland is about to lose and have zero interest in the NL teams. Is Breaking Bad new tonight?
  9. nicksaviking
    For sure. RB is either Chandler, a super late round pick or a free agent. I think Hubbard could be a steal.

    I think Trevor Larnach is going to be given strong consideration to be traded. He's already in arbitration, like mentioned the OF defense is a bit of a concern, and he's left handed. Coming off of his best season, I wouldn't be surprised if they look to sell high.

    The children of the self made business owners also see what the parent accomplished and likely take some pride in that. Perhaps even more than the parent. The grandchildren only know of that life though. I'd guess a lot is taken for granted and it would be easy to become complacent and difficult to be thoughtful about the future if that's all you've ever experienced.

    NEXT season?!?! Dang, what was last year?
  13. nicksaviking
    Yeah, this needs to be the path. The Twins almost NEVER hit on outside relief help, they have to continue to churn out these minor league 'starters' and move them to the pen ASAP.
  14. nicksaviking
    Right. The Pohlad they put in charge was the one who's career accomplishments amounted to the utter failure of two different radio stations. To me that would indicate that Jim Pohlad and the rest of the clan had no interest in doing this anymore. Just let the kid drive the Ferrari before we sell it. The parts are worth more than the whole so it's not a big deal if he crashes it.

    I like the Akers trade regardless of the health of Aaron Jones. He might be an OK at best runner, but he's one of the best pass blocking RBs in the league. As much as I wanted to see Ty Chandler step up and secure the RB job long term after Jones is gone, I haven't seen enough from him this year and he's not good at pass protection, which obviously this offense needs. I could see Akers jumping him on the depth chart for that reason alone. On a related note; with few draft picks and Jones being on a one year deal, old and oft injured, the Vikings will be in the market for another RB next year. Barf if you want to, but I'm emphatically saying that RB will be Chuba Hubbard. He's still only 25, is one of the league's best pass blockers, among the best at yards after contact and somehow has only been tackled for a loss three times despite teams knowing the Panthers have no passing game. Won't be sexy, but perhaps a new Chester Taylor or Latavius Murray bridge until they get a long term answer.

    Ha, yeah probably a bad year to hand out that award based primarily on offensive production. Your only options would be guys that played 63% of the games, 53% of the games or 46% of the games.

    So not to be topped by the Twins, Jerry Reinsdorf is actively trying to sell the White Sox too. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5848339/2024/10/16/jerry-reinsdorf-chicago-white-sox-sale/?source=emp_shared_article The concern for those fans (lousy degenerates) is that it appears Dave Stewart is involved with the potential sale and Stewart has been trying to get a team to Nashville, which (?not?) coincidentally is/was also the destination used as a threat the Sox used in trying to get their new south side stadium. Fortunately for Twins fans, they aren't in the market for a new stadium, and I doubt MLB would let TWO teams take TWO of the actual legit relocation/expansion destinations they like to swing like a bludgeon at the poor cities trying to save their teams while not spending a billion dollars for a billionaires benefit.

    If we're making roster decisions based off of stats from the second half of 2024, we're going to need 26 new ballplayers.

    I don't like them, but the defender did land on Rodgers with his full weight, and there was another sack in the first half I thought for sure they were going to call but didn't. I mean, the rule was created to protect Aaron Rodgers specifically, they're going to call it if the defenders don't try to avoid it. Also, if the holding call you're referring to was the one in the 4th quarter when the Jets were inside the five, that wasn't phantom, the Tackle had the defender around the neck, even though the defender had little chance of making the tackle. And players sassing off to the refs have drawn plenty of flags. The ref said the guy was flagged for saying something 'inappropriate' so what it was specifically can only be speculation, but I have zero sympathy for a grown man who's paid millions of dollars who refuses to bite his tongue. But really, if the players wanted fewer whistles, they probably shouldn't have made it clear they were more interested in having a back alley brawl than playing a football game. I hate all the flags, but the immaturity of the players was why they kept coming. If the refs let all that stuff go unchecked and it would have been fist fights before half time.

    Can't wait for Rodgers to give Adams his patented 'I'm right, you're wrong' glare the first time Adams runs an out route as scripted but Rodgers thinks he should have read his mind and came back on a curl instead.

    I think the fiery sparkplug type is just more apparent on a winning team. Was Lewis not a fiery sparkplug last year? I think the issue is that the Twins are a team full of Max Keplers, but not in the way you describe Drew. Outside of Correa, they all seem to be ungodly unpredictable and streaky. Not just month-to-month but year-to-year. They could deal with the injuries if they had enough reliable players. This team would probably be better severed if they had more players who might only top out at an OPS of .800 but you can count on them to put up at least .700. Instead they have a bunch of guys who might put up an OPS north of .900, but the odds are the same that they'll head south to .600. That's unsustainable. They need more consistent hitters, or someone who can show these guys how to be consistent. It seems odd that this is the only kind of player this team has, which makes me think it's coaching and development and not some random case of accidentally getting a dozen of them.

    With the way they handled their clandestine attempt to buy up a bunch of properties in Park Point in Duluth, and then their reaction to getting outed and the ensuing reaction to protests including threatening to sue the newspaper who ran the story, makes me want NOTHING to do with that family. And that doesn't even account for all the human rights, workers compensation, intellectual property theft, environmental and price fixing violations that company gets into trouble for on a yearly basis. Those guys are shadier than the Pohlads.
  23. nicksaviking
    I like how Rodgers throws Mike Williams under the bus and then they immediately trade for another one of Rodger's buddies.
  24. nicksaviking
    Can't wait for Garrett Wilson to demand a trade now! It's like the Jets were tired of hearing how much of a train wreck the Panthers, Giants, Browns and Raiders were and said, "Hey, you want dysfunction, watch this!"
  25. nicksaviking
    That was an extremely annoying and terrible game to watch with all those penalties. But to be fair, outside of a roughing the passer flag or two, most of them seemed legit. The DBs were constantly mugging the WRs and both teams OLs and DLs seemed more concerned with looking like the biggest Alpha on the field than they did with actually winning the game.
